Well, it's been almost half a day since the last post on here, so I hope it's alright to be posting right after Ark's character post. This is the last of the 1st member of my new Team, though, so I wanted to get it out of the way.

Characteristics

Background: She was born in Vacuo and lived with her mother and father peacefully. They were a rather close-knit family, but, as time passed, her father started to work less and less, instead drinking more and more. Eventually, he was fired from his job and he became a deadbeat drunk who either stayed at home or went to the local bar for more to drink. This really strained his and her mother's relationship, to the point that her mother couldn't take it anymore and they got a divorce. After her mother left, her father became rather violent, lashing out at Patina for anything and everything. She was able to leave for an Academy before he did any real physical damage to her.

Once she got enrolled into an Academy, she invested all of her time into becoming the best Huntress she could possibly be. She was placed on a Team with three other girls, Laurel, Sienna, and Scarlet, and they all got along rather well. She jumped right on board with getting to know them and they quickly all became friends. Right before they graduated, though, something happened which Patina cannot remember. Something that was big enough and traumatic enough for her to forget, along with breaking up Team LPSS. She was left on her own after graduation, so she turned back to Shade for comfort. That was when she decided to start studying to become a teacher.

After a few years of training for that, she became a teacher of Grimm Studies at Shade Academy and has completely fallen in love with her work.

Personality: Reserved ; Kind ; Courteous ; Absent-Minded

Likes: Reading ; Eating Out ; Teaching ;  Sitting in Silence

Dislikes: Alcohol ; Fighting ; Trying to Remember her Past ; Loud People

Trivia:

Notable relationships:

Laurel Dunstan: The former Team Leader of SPLS.

Sienna Giada: A former member of Team SPLS.

Scarlet Aelius: A former member of Team SPLS.

Tsuki Akiba-Ryuu: One of her best students.

Aurelia Mazarine: One of her students.

Glas Vermilion: One of her students.

Liath Vermilion: One of her best students.

Notes:

Before becoming a teacher, her weapons had a different name, although she discarded that name because of the past events. However, she is no longer able to recall their old name, so she gave them a new name that she felt was fitting.

She can barely remember the times when she was still a Huntress-in-Training. Even now, she has only a vague idea of the reasoning to why LPSS broke up. She believes it was entirely her fault, but she is unable to recall what she did. In fact, she can't remember most of those years, only able to recall snippets of events over the course of those years.

After leaving to attend Shade Academy when she was younger, she added her mother's maiden name onto her own, as a way to feel closer to her after she left. Patina had thought about just getting rid of the name she got from her father, but felt a little bad to just cut him off like that, so she decided against it.

She got her scar from whatever event caused Team SPLS to break up. She hates looking at it, as it causes her to get migraines, so she always covers it up with her clothing.

She is liked by most, if not all, of her students due to her kind nature, although her mind often wanders during class, so she's thankful for her students bringing her attention back to the matters at hand. She occassionally takes students out to eat as a reward for paying attention in class, which is likely one of the bigger reasons that they like her.

Landing strategy: She uses her Semblance and either A) uses her enhanced Agility to jump from surface to surface and come a safe landing or B) uses her enhanced Strength to take the shock from a hard landing better.
