3)Characteristics Background: Born on the outskirts of Vale, Lalli was raised by hunter parents in a household that was not exactly friendly to the local faunus population. Being raised from early life to be a huntress, flourishing specifically in the area of hand to hand combat as a result of her particularly severe temper. During her youth, Lalli was very aggressive and highly impulsive, having had trouble searching for her direction in life, she enrolled at Beacon to follow her parents lifestyle, where she flourished at the combat aspects, suffering academically due to her impulsive and unfocused nature. She was partnered with Cloud Nimbus during initiation, becoming good friends with her and Arevik, while the three of them looked down on Umuthi for a number of reasons, including his faunus heritage. After graduation, she moved to Vacuo on a whim where she met her future husband, Kairu Rutto, getting married almost immediately at which point she officially joined the nomadic tribe he was a part of, finding the wandering lifestyle of the trading caravans to be exactly what she had been searching for her entire life. The two of them had their first and only child, Kanika, within the year. After 17 years and her daughter leaving for school to become a huntress, Lalli is currently pregnant with her second child.

Personality: Angry and impulsive as a child, always wandering and never settling of her own volition. During her time at Beacon she matured quite a bit, though she never quite shook off the wanderlust. Having tempered her more aggressive side by the end of her school career, she succumbed to her one remaining vice, the ever growing need to travel. After falling in love, she has mellowed out quite a bit and mostly gotten over her racism, becoming a much more sensible and mature adult. Likes: traveling, fighting, family Dislikes: monotony
