Other information:

Varius' steel shield is 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, more than enough to hide either herself or someone else behind. It has a thick chain attach diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. The shield is thick, 2 inches, and quite heavy, at 70 lbs. It is capable of taking rifle rounds, shotgun shots, and explosions. Short of an anti-tank round, nothing will break through it. She uses the shield's weight to throw off her opponent's balance, and then swings it hard, using its sheer weight for damage. The inside of the slightly curved shield has mesh net compartments, where she carries her belongings. Important mentions are: A flat mirror, for looking out from behind the shield, a couple grenades, for if force is absolutely needed, some flares, a lighter, and her homework.

Varius' arms are much stronger than the rest of her figure would otherwise imply as a result of carrying this shield. She puts the protection of her allies above herself, and seems to have a specific person she wants to protect, and came here to earn the skill to do so. Varius is more content being among friends than actually participating in conversation or activity.
