Zircon Blakely-Azhar

Garnet Blakely-Azhar is a 2018-introduced all-around character. He is Elemental Hybrid and the son of Draven Blakely, a Shadow Elemental, and Ciara Azhar, a Light Elemental, and the older brother of Zia Blakely-Azhar.

Personality
Despite being a hybrid of shadow and light, Garnet mostly takes after the Light Elementals. He kind, caring, and understanding and is also very respective to others (at least others he thinks deserves respect). Though, he does get annoyed with monsters that mistake him for being pure Light or Shadow.

However, due to mixed scareritage, some mistake him for being a pure Shadow Elemental and think he is sly and cuning, which is isn't. Garnet knows that Shadow Elementals can change. His father is a Shadow Elemental and he was able to change from from sly and cunning to calming and nice, thanks to his mother. Despite getting angry when monsters mistake him for being pure Shadow, he quickly gets over it and calmly tells the one that mistook him that he is a Hybrid.

He is very protective of his younger sister, like any brother would be. He normally lets Zia do what she wants, as long as it is legal and safe.

Appearance
Garnet is a tall young man with shoulder-length, spiky, dark red hair with tints of black and dark red eyes, with a mix of dark and light skin, but appears to look very tanned.

Background
Garnet was born to the Shadow Elemental Draven Blakely and the Light Elemental Ciara Azhar and is the older brother of Zia Blakely-Azhar. For most of his life, Garnet has traveled with his father's side of the family, the nomadic Blakely Clan, and a few others, and some of the only people who accept that his father had a lover who was a Light Elemental. Garnet could care less about being different but he hopes that people can see that hybrids are monsters just like them and can be accepted, eventually.

As of now, Garnet lives in the Boonighted States of Scaremerica with Zia and acts as her legal guardian, while the rest of the family travel around the States and try to show people that monster of different species can come together. His family plan to return to their home country and continue to travel, even though Zia and Garnet are living in New Salem.

Abilities
As a Shadow and Light Elemental Hybrid, Garnet potentially could control both elements. But, he only gained his father's powers over darkness and shadow.
 * Umbrakinesis: From his father, Garnet inherited the power to control the element of darkness. With it, he can control any aspect of darkness, shadows, and even dark energy, which he ends to use the most.
 * Shadow generation: Garnet can generate and project shadows and darkness if natural shadows are not present or available. He is also able to unleash shadows in
 * Shadow constructs: Garnet can use his powers over darkness to create constructs out of shadows such as tools, armor and even weapons.
 * Shadow camouflage: Garnet is rendered invisible while in shadows or darkness.
 * Shadow merging: Garnet is capable of sinking into his own shadow, allowing him to easily travel across great distances. In this form, Garnet attains near invulnerability, though a strong enough attack directly to his shadow will be enough to force him back into his physical form.
 * Darkness teleportation: Garnet can teleport across short distances from one area of shadows to another.
 * Shadow marionette: Garnet can potentially control the movements of another through their shadow.
 * Dark energy manipulation: Garnet is capable of creating and controlling dark energy and use them as formulated blasts and energy beams. He is also capable of making them into solid constructs, however only he and other Shadow Elementals are able to hold them. However, because of Zia being a Shadow Elemental Hybrid, she too can hold them.
 * Light immunity: As a Shadow and Light Hybrid, Garnet is immune to light.
 * Light-Darkness manipulation: As a hbyrid, Garnet has the potential to manipulate darkness with light properties. However, he has never unleashed this power so it is unknown if he even controls it.
 * Darkness adaptation: Garnet is able to better adapt to dark environments and his senses become heightened.

Skillset

 * Stealth skills: With his darkness powers, Garnet is a stealth master and capable of easily maneuvering in such a way that no one notices his presence.

Draven Blakely and Ciara Azhar
Garnet has a very loving relationship with his parents. He loves and respects them. Like Zia, he loves how despite how different they are, were still able to find each other and join together.

Blaze Emberstone
Blaze Emberstone is a Fire Elemental and a friend of Garnet that he met at Monster University. Blaze is in some of the same classes as Garnet so the two often pair up together to help each other with homework.

Because of the traveling his family did, Garnet never really had time for a pet. However, he recently adopted a kitten from an animaal shelter and named her "Sapphire" for it's big blue eyes.
