Goddess Mode (Luna Crescent) :
After being endowed with the Olympus Stone of the Goddess of the Moon, Artemis, Emily is able to turn into her "goddess mode". Her hair goes from onyx black to snow white, and her eyes turn from emerald green to lunar yellow. These are the biggest changes in her physical appearance, and are the marks specific to the moon goddess. The next change is in her clothing, but this is a conscious appearance change that she initiates herself. Because after becoming a goddess, she is told that for her own safety, she has to keep her powers a secret. So, the outfit change is part of her disguise. Another part, is the purple "mask" she causes to appear over her eyes. This mask, which is more like a tattoo, was a precautionary measure made after several scenarios where her natural clumsiness nearly got her found out. The nickname she has, Luna Crescent, was made by the people of the city shortly after her initial appearance, during a battle that ended up getting broadcast on the news. Her official goddess name, however, is Selena.

Powers:
All of Emily's goddess abilities stem from a mix of her own natural grace, which was increased 100-fold when she was endowed with the power of the Goddess of the Moon, and pure lunar energy, which comes from the moon itself. While the moon does not run out of energy, Emily's grace does, and so her powers ARE limited, to an extent. Grace can be recharged with rest, and also with the use of certain abilities.

Moonbeam:
The most basic weapon in Luna's arsenal. It is simply a concentration of lunar energy from the moon itself, mixed with her own goddess powers, also known as grace. These are shot forth from the palm of either hand, in the form of a straight beam of powerful light. The intensity of this beam can range from a narrow, 10% power, burst, to an all-engulfing ray at 100% power. During desperate situations, Luna can bring forth power beyond 100% power, but this would utterly drain her, and sometimes even force her back to her normal form, not to mention how dangerous that is to her health because of the stress on her body.

Moonwalk:
While not an attack ability, this is also a very basic, and very essential power. Using a small amount of grace, Emily can alter the effect of Earth's gravity over her. Essentially, she can change her weight at will. This allows her to become light as a feather, and jump up 20-story buildings in a single bound, as well as become as heavy as 50 tons and crush boulders with a single punch. Of course, proper implications of this power means that she can fall from great heights and still land as gracefully as a dove, unharmed. Unfortunately for her, this power wasn't the easiest for her to master…as in, she almost became a pavement pancake while learning how to use it.

Moonlight:
The third basic weapon in her arsenal as a goddess is the ability to send a prayer to the moon, and as a result, expend some grace to gain some health. With this, Luna can recover not only her stamina, but heal minor and even major injuries to an extent. The harder something is to heal, the more grace it consumes. Full-fledged gods and goddesses have so much grace, that they are powerful enough to prevent harm from even happening, which is why they are invincible.

Prayer:
Much like summoning, demigods and certain other mystical creatures can offer a prayer to Mount Olympus, and given their personal connections with the gods and goddesses who dwell there, can momentarily summon the aide of another deity for assistance.  This consumes a lot of grace, and is meant to be used as a last resort, as not every god is going to be so happy to help out. Things that can help is to make other offerings to the deity being summoned, and if they appreciate the gift, then they are much more likely to help. This is the last basic power that Luna has when she first becomes the new goddess of the moon.

Gravity:
An extension of the "Moonwalk" ability, after much training Luna has become able to influence the power of gravity over other people and objects. Much in the same way she can control her own weight, she can control an opponent's or an object's for her own purposes. This is NOT like telekinesis, as she cannot force something to move farther or closer to her at will. She can, however, cause an opponent to become so heavy that they can't move, or have to move very slowly. She can also make them light enough that their own momentum causes them to spin and trip at awkward angles, which usually causes most attacks to miss entirely, or if they do hit, they hurt very little.

Full Moonbeam:
Another ability that has grown through her training, Luna's Moonbeam is now able to explode from all parts of her body in a massive wave of energy. The white sphere of light resembles the blinding and pure full moon, hence the name. Smaller versions of this can be performed as well, such as an explosion of energy in addition to a punch. As with moonbeam, the bigger the explosion, the more grace that is consumed, and the Full Moonbeam takes so much, that she likes to keep that as a secret weapon.

Lunar Implosion:
An expansion of the Gravity ability, Luna can cause a perimeter around her to suddenly increase in weight to an extent that would crush a truck in a matter of seconds. Obviously any opponents within the range of this attack would be crushed entirely as well, but because she doesn't exactly enjoy watching people become pancakes in front of her, Luna often ends up holding back and allowing them to live. This human weakness is something that's nearly cost her many battles, and her own life more than once.

----------------------

Phases:

Being the Goddess of the Moon, Luna has the unique ability to transform into different lunar "phases" that specialize in different areas of power. Each of these phases is powerful in their own right, but they can only be used under certain conditions, and each of them temporarily consume most of Emily's humanity, leaving her little mercy and conscious thought. In these forms she is cruel and cold, and will pass judgement without hesitation. As powerful as these forms are, Luna only uses them in dire emergencies, as each has a severe weakness and can leave her completely drained upon exiting the form.

Red Moon Phase:
In this phase, Luna's hair becomes stained blood-red, and her outfit undergoes a major makeover. With fiery red armor inspired by the War-God Ares and Sparta, Luna's sole purpose becomes annihilation. Rather than focus on any goddess abilities, she focuses instead on an all out physical assault. The weapon of his form is a crimson broadsword that can cut through most anything, and in the hands of the goddess, she quickly and mercilessly mows down anyone or anything that stands in her way at a close-range. This form is fueled by rage, hatred, and wrath, and involves little strategic thinking on her part. It's major weakness is that it is useless against an opponent of a long-range type that can maintain that range, and more often than not, Luna ends up destroying more than necessary. This form also has the trait of inhibiting Luna's ability to distinguish friend from foe.

Blue Moon Phase:
The polar opposite of Red Moon, this phase causes Luna's hair to become a sea of shimmering blue, and her outfit reflects this color. Inspired by the Goddess of Wisdom, the beautiful Athena, this form focuses solely on strategy and long-range attacks. Grace is consumed to increase Luna's brain's upper functions, and allows her to think so clearly and so quickly, that it's as if time slows down. This form utilizes a bow and arrow as its weapon, with the arrows being made of pure lunar energy that can pierce steel as if it were butter. Unlike Red Moon, Blue Moon focuses almost entirely on utilizing her Goddess abilities as much and as efficiently as possible. It also will not cause her to lose the ability to distinguish between friend and foe, though she WILL judge questionable people quite harshly. It's major weakness is the fact that, with the raise in brain function, she becomes almost completely unable to fight using hand-to-hand combat due to her mind's incredible amount of focus on strategy and evasion. She will do her best to stay away from an opponent in this form to cover this weakness, but can be caught by an opponent with superior speed.

New Moon Phase and Full Moon Phase:
Not much is known about these last two forms, as Luna has never successfully entered either of them. The Goddess before her, Artemis, was able to enter these forms at will, but according to Ether and Ruby, she was never able to master them. Each form holds power beyond measure, but it is said that a hefty price is paid to obtain it. In these forms, Luna would obliterate anything unclean or imperfect from her sight, no matter if it is friend or enemy. Her humanity would be completely consumed, and she would pass judgement on all. The only information Ruby and Ether were able to provide about either of these forms is that they are just as much opposite as Red Moon and Blue Moon. Described as possessing the unholy awe of the underworld, New Moon seeks no redemption, only destruction. The evil power infects the user so much as to make them lose their mind, so that all they can think about is killing and death. Scary as that is, Full Moon is just as scary. According to Ether and Ruby, Artemis only used Full Moon and New Moon forms once, vowing to never use them again afterwards. With all the might of the moon at her disposal, Full Moon seeks only to purify any evil or corrupt thing. She passes judgment without pause, and wipes clean the souls of the wicked through holy destruction.


----------------------

Weaknesses:
With how intensely she's been training, and all the moves she's learned in the process, it would seem that the new Goddess of the Moon is, well, too God-like. But because she isn't a full-fledged goddess yet, Luna still has her weaknesses. The first one is simply the limited amount of grace she has. She's still not very good at using it efficiently, so if she's not careful she can burn through quite a bit very quickly. If she runs out or runs too low on grace, she will be unable to use many of her powers, and could even be forced to revert back to her normal, human form.
The second weakness is the fact that because she isn't a real goddess yet, she's still very much mortal. Although her goddess abilities make her a lot less vulnerable, with enough of a beating and injury she CAN die.
Finally, the last and most critical weakness is the medallion that she ties the sash at her waist with. Engraved with the symbol of the gods, this is called an Olympus Stone. Because Gods and Goddesses are perfect, the only way they can stand to be in the mortal realm outside of Mount Olympus is to keep these special stones on their person. If the medallion is taken or broken, a full-fledged God or Goddess is forced to return to Olympus, or suffer mortality. But because Emily is still a demigoddess, instead she simply loses the ability to use her powers. Without the stone, she is forced to revert back to her mortal form, and loses all the abilities therein. Obviously, even though it won't kill her, this is a serious and potentially life-threatening scenario. Knowing this, Emily guards her Olympus Stone with her life.
EDIT: Much of her powers are the same, as it hasn't been very long since the last tournament. About 4-6 months is all.

This is updated to AFTER the end of the last Big 6 tournament. Emily has turned 17 and while she is strong, she has all but lost every bit of confidence she once had in herself. She pushes on though, hoping to at last reclaim redemption.

If you are my opponent, then you MUST read all of the information above! It is critical that you know everything you can about my character, so that you may portray her in an informed manner!

If any of you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me :D I hope I covered everything that needs to be covered ^^;
