A brief biography----

Name: Saphyr (Sapphyre) Nilshikha (Pronounced "Saf-fur Nil-shee-ka")
_{The surname is a Hindi name meaning "top of the blue mountain."}
(Would probably get the nicknames "Sierra" from the team or "Saf" somewhere along the lines)
Age: 17

"So~ how is everyone~?"

Characteristics:
+: Cheerful, sprightly youth who would always try to cheer up friends and strangers--- even when they may not be asking for it. Though often misunderstood, she remains honest and loyal to those she hold dearest. Appearance and heart of a child, but a compassion and intuition of a sister (or a mother?). Organized, but somewhat lazy with schoolwork.
-: Clumsy, and quite an introvert. Keeps most of her emotions behind a smile and her loud voice, and seems to be busy 24/7. Although team leader, she must first attend to her family life at home, and thus remains absent from the lives of her teammates generally.

Weapon: "Tygreazul", meaning blue tiger in some mix of spanish.
Sword Adapting Bow Render (SABR, Saber)
A longbow and long-sword combo-based weapon. Often has several types of arrows, (some that can catch on fire, etc)
The two halves of the longbow can be folded above and parallel to the blade; when in sword form, the barrel near the hilt will open to create an extension to the round blades. The hilt will also extend in this form.
It's easier/faster to switch to the other form, all there needs to be done is to press the extended hilt back in, causing the bow's halves to snap back into shape (it's suppose to imitate a tiger bite?). The drawstring is automatically set in this phase change, unlike the reverse, where Sapphyre has to untie it in order to fold the bow down.

She has no elemental backing, but her accuracy is as sharp as her advice. Sometimes she just knows how to get like, three birds, with one stone...

Semblance: Luck of the Draw
It's a bit of wordplay (you know, drawing an arrow?), but it's really just her being able to split arrows into halves and thirds. With concentration, of course.
This works hand in hand with her emblem, which is supposed to represent how her arrows may occasionally split in half.

Emblem: Proliferation
Um... the spontaneous materialization and crystallization of rocks? Her arrows can split occasionally depending how she releases it, so it makes sense.

Artist Notes:
-The first character to be drawn, and probably the one with the most lavish decor. I really sorta like the simplicity of the color trend, though I think I may have overdone the glitter >.>"
-I'm really not so great with skin (and the color of the tights on the thighs were tough to think up of). Darker skin would've collided with the extremely-lightened brown eyes.) She's Indian in ethnicity, if that gets any thought processes moving.
-I don't have much to say other than I like the gold studs on the arrow case
