Cleo Zlatko

Clementine Zlatko, better known as Cleo, is 17 years old and a member and leader of Team CBLT. She is the only daughter of Alyson Zlatko and the niece of Cameron Zlatko. Her weapon of choice is a longsword called Chrysós Drákos. She is in her first year at Beacon Academy training to become a Huntress and is partners with Leonidas Legolas.

At the beginning, Cleo was uncertain about revealing who she really was, and used the alias, "Cleo Vanna" to hide who she truly was. It was only thanks to Aspen Braith of Team AMBR and Blaire Blackthorn was she able to be proud of her name and reveal it.

Physical description
Born into the Zlatko family, Cleo inherited their pale, blonde-white hair, and dark red eyes. Though, she gained her birth father's olive-colored skin tone, which makes her other features sand out. She wears a black, long-sleeved hooded waist-length jacket with gold trimmings, a dark shirt, with black pants, and black and gold high-heeled, leather boots with buckles. She also wears black gloves, which help keep her somewhat free from her Semblance's aftereffects.

Personality
Cleo tends to keep to herself because she is afraid of getting close to anyone only for them to leave her. She loves a good fight but hates when someone cheats. She is protective of her family and will do nothing at keeping them safe. Cleo is afraid of failure. Because of her mother, a lot of pressure is put onto her shoulders where she must be perfect and follow her mother in her footsteps. The only other person who knows of this fear is her uncle, who tells her to not listen to what people say and to do what she wants. In addition, Cleo is also afraid of getting close to others as they might leave her, just like Alyson did.
