Last but certainly not least we have Tourmaline Canary. She was born to a family with a rich history of service in the Atlesian military which meant she had a stricter upbrining than most children. This resulted in Tourmaline maturing faster than most children and application to Sentinel academy. There she became adept at marksmanship and built a sniper rifle/ quarter staff to suit her fighting stlye. Through months and years of practice with her weapon, Tourmaline unlocked her Semblance: Sniper Vision. At the cost of Aura Tourmaline gains extremly good long distance vision signaled by visible crosshairs on each of her irises. For this reason she forgoes the usual sniper scope. Under the teachings of one Captain Steele, Tourmaline also learned how to perform field reconnaissance and how to operate several Atlas vehicles including the Puma Scout Car, Bullhead, Scorpian fighter-transport, and Manta. Her final exam at Sentinel was supposed to be a standard recon/sniper mission at an Atlas military training area. Things went awry almost imediately when she noticed Grimm swarming the area she was supposed to gather intel on. Steele ordered her to complete the exercise anyway so she killed every single Grimm from afar. When she tried to report back there was no response. Turns out Steele had been attack by an Ursa and was forced to take shelter in the car he had driven to the training area. Tourmaline lept into action immediately, defeating the Ursa and saving her captain. Steele gave her a passing grade and with it the permission to enroll in Atlas Academy. Tourmaline's name comes from the fact that she is heterochromatic; her left eye is green and her right eye is pink, the same color as watermelon tourmaline gems. As a member of team CBLT she isn't the most fun person to be around and often chastises her teammates when she thinks they're being silly at first. She softens up over time though and genuinely cares about her team even if they drive her crazy sometimes.
So there we have it. The somewhat overly serious sniper of Team CBLT. I knew that I wanted a sniper on the team and I also wanted someone who would be sort of a foil to Cobalt's optimism, Luna's mischeviousness, and Boulder's livelyness. I will freely admit though that she is the character I thought the least about when making her. Oh well. Let me know what you think and get ready for more drawings of CBLT as a team.
