Description: One of the few female Ligers present, the user forms the summoning handseals or wipes blood across a summoning tattoo and summons Atalanta, the greatest archer of the Liger species. Slimmer than other Ligers, Atalanta is much faster than most of them, being twice as fast as Heracles and slightly faster than Sinbad. Having being abandoned as a cub and left to die on a mountaintop, Atalanta survived the harsh conditions due to training she received from several hunter Ligers that were nearby. This rough environment caused her to become harsh in her actions and words, and a fierce warrior, her skill with taijutsu being notably proficient. However, it is her mastery of the bow that lead her to become renown. Trained by Hunter Ligers, Atalanta is able to make use of her bow and arrows for long ranged combat, using her strength to allow the arrows to fly slightly faster then kunais and shuriken manually thrown. She is able to use any arrow based jutsus of the user up to S rank as well as Taijutsu up to A rank. What is notable about Atalanta's archery mastery is through the usage of 2 key abilities unique to her archery skills: The first, named The Calydonian Hunt, requires her to release a small, slightly curved arrow, though this curve doesn't prevent it from aerodynamically traveling. Imbibed with chakra, this arrow is capable of remarkable travel through the body, causing more damage to the opponent as an arrow is capable of piercing, for example, his leg and traveling and cutting the inside of the limbs as it exits (must always exist that side of the body, a single arrow cannot enter an arm and exist the opposing leg) before detonating in a short ranged explosion, releasing this powerful tusk shaped arrow in the form of shrapnel, causing severe damage to the opponent capable of causing them to bleed out. These arrows can also be detonated prematurely. A common ability of Ligers is their ability to transform into useful items for the summoner, such as Achilles transforming into a set of armor and Icarus transforming into a set of taijutsu enhancing claws. Similar to this, the second ability allows Atalanta to transform into a dark gold bow with several of these tusk shaped arrows (5 of these, each B ranked). This bow is almost indestructible and can be wielded as a makeshift sword, capable of being used for freeform kenjutsu. After these arrows have been utilized, Atalanta's bow disperses as does she.
Note: Can only be summoned once
Note: Lasts four turns
Note: Arrows produced when Atalanta is in bow form are able to perform the Calydonian Hunt's ability but if Atalanta is used in bow form and these arrows are launched, Atalanta can not be summoned in Liger form and vice versa.
Note: Calydonian Hunt's ability counts as a move per turn of the user's. Freeform archery does not count as a move but arrow based jutsus in jutsu form does.
