Silica

Deep in desert along a sea of dune crests
Walk single file sand cats who’ve traveled without rest…

Silica is a vengeful spirit, with the power to control sand, her wrath is not going to be stopped.

Down tilt is able to snare grounded opponents, keeping them in place for a short duration of time on hit.

certain attacks will spawn a sand puddle where Silica is, the sand puddle can use a variety of attacks that are restricted to it, however if silica is hit while one is happening then her concentration will be broken and the puddle will disappear once the attack is over.

All strong attacks will be very weak without the puddle, however they will spawn one if none is on stage;
Fspecial will turn the puddle into a solid surface and make it able to push around players, however it can be destroyed on hit, fspecial can be canceled into all puddle moves, allowing it to move while attacking;
Nspecial will fire a projectile that gets strogner and goes farther the longer its charged.

Down special is a very good close range tool, being able to pick up opponents with its windbox as well as reflect projectiles;
Up special can be angled by holding forward or back during startup, it has no hitbox but in its place there’s a potent windbox that will send opponents flying in the opposite direction if up special is performed in the air.

Deep in desert along a sea of dune crests
Walk single file sand cats who’ve traveled without rest

Guided in chains stand slaves to be sold
All in the name of depravity and gold

Yet one amongst them had shackles poorly shaped
For this is the story of the sister who escaped.

Fleeing then falling down the steep sand peak
With her pursuers on her heels her fate seemed bleak

Then all at once, she sunk into the ground
They assumed her dead, never again to be found

But as fate would decide her life would be saved
For she awoke beneath the sand in a vast open cave

The cavern was a temple from an antique age
With the statue of a goddess that stood center stage

There before the shrine was a sparkling gold dowry
And from that gilded chest a voice thus spoke loudly

“I am the Goddess of the people that have long been forgotten
My daughters who have been stolen, abused, and downtrodden

I’ve witnessed it all and with my heart now broken
I’ve willed you here, so that my wrath be awoken.”

She opened the dowry and inside were fine jewels
Tsavorite stones that no diamond could duel

“I give you my gems and with them my wonders
And you will never again fear the violence of others”

“I will be with you always” and with that the voice faded.
There now stood Silica, empowered and jaded.

With just a mere gesture the sand began to move
She found there was nothing she couldn’t make the dust do

Learning her powers she used them to ascend.
And while she rose she began to comprehend.

Like grains of truth in a furnace of pain
It became clear as glass her brand new campaign

It was never the elements that divided and warred
For weather has no will nor nature any horde

But there was one responsible ultimately in the end
Pouring with contempt, she knew the answer was men.

Empires, armadas, forests, it didn’t matter the detail.
For it all boiled down, they were all led by a male.

And thus she would become the hands of retribution
And annihilate the perverts and their perverse institutions

And until this error was amended there would never be peace
So smite them she would as great as west is to east

And once it was all dust only then would she reprieve
And establish the utopia that only she could achieve.
