[HERO IDEA] Damsel (with art, voice claim and initial abilities)

[niagragrape]

Hello, i'm Aurora! first of all, i'd like to say i specialize in character design and not game design, so i'm looking forward to receive some suggestions on her kit! it's been a month since i started working on her design and lore, so i hope you all enjoy it.
English isn't my mother tongue, beware of spelling errors!

Background
Not everyone wishes to remain in the same trope forever, and as for Daphne Damsel, she wishes to break out of her's - once and for all.
Cursed to keep on reencarnating into the same cliché and gradually every single past life, the now humble waitress wishes to have a life of her own, far away from tales of fantasy and romance, even if she herself struggles to be removed from said narratives.

Kit
1 - Workplace Accident
Throw your coffee pot on the ground, causing the area around it's radius to be swept by steaming coffee, dealing burning spiritual damage and applying knockup on enemies that are swept.

2 - Royal's Special
Drink or give an espresso to a nearby ally to increase fire rate and movement speed that decreases over time.

3 - Dilligent Waitress
Leap towards an ally, granting them a small, momentaneous barrier upon arrival.

4 - Damsel in Distress
The Damsel partakes on her role. For a certain duration, enemies nearby can only deal damage and effects to Damsel.
The effect only ends after its time limit or after the enemies slay Damsel.

Looks like Princess Peach, Cinderella and Taylor Swift.

Love the design though! I think its fun


How does the character shoot? I don't see any guns and not sure if you mentioned it

Thank you! I've took many characters that fit into the damsel in distress trope as inspiration, so you're not wrong to relate her to them, it makes me glad that i could get the point across with her design

As for shooting, she basically throws her coffee cups with burning coffee at the enemies - i even thought on making her firing have a burning effect, but i was afraid it would clash with Infernus' kit; i thought about, maybe, including the burn as an upgrade to one of her abilities (probably Royal's Special)
Her recharge animation could be something silly like pulling new cups from her apron, quickly placing them on the tray and refilling with the coffee pot
For her weapon's name (the tray, the cups and the coffee pot) i imagined something like "The Eternal Maiden's Task"
Sorry if i'm rambling, i just realized i never got the chance to explain how i envision her shooting lmao!

The design is really a 10/10 and i really hope yoshi adds her in some shape or form.

i know yoshi has taken ability kits from the forum (eg doorman's doorways) but i hope he takes a design here aswell
