An OC for Aegis again. One that I was not intending to do anything with for quite a while now...and one that hammered her way out of my brain. -_-

White belt around hips with sheath attached at back and utility pouches around sides. Symbol embossed on belt buckle. Clothes are slightly thick, built in with temperature regulators to combat the cold air up high.
 * Gadgets:
 * Jetpack; A slightly rounded white backpack that clips to her suit and sits between her shoulders. 5ft wings extend from either side, infused with wind dust. Two small ‘engines’ utilising a fire/air dust mix sit at the end and middle of each wing.
 * Streamlined moss green helmet with clear faceplate, used as goggles and an oxygen mask through wind dust and installed with short range radio for communication.
 * Background: Born the child of a human and a faunus in Mistral, Savannah was the only one out of three to manifest a faunus trait. Due to this she always felt like the odd one out growing up, envying the ‘ease’ she perceived her brothers to have when it came to interacting with others.
 * She joined a combat academy, following in her eldest brother’s footsteps, in the hope that she would find the students there easier to get along with than the civilian children. She did, but she found that the association she had with her brother always made things awkward between herself and her friends for a bit until her family history was explained due to herself being a faunus and her brother being a human.
 * When it came time to go to a Huntsmen Academy she decided she wanted a clean start, and instead of following her brother to Haven she enrolled in Beacon. Once there, she claimed that her markings were actually an extensive set of tattoos she had gotten done at a parlour back in Mistral and slipped into the life of being ‘human’ easily.This continued for just over a year, until one of the younger years pressured her about which tattoo parlour she got her markings done at and she gave the name of a parlour she’d heard about while still living in Mistral.
 * Later that week, an upperclassman named Cimet confronted her about it. His brother was the only tattoo artist in the parlour she had named, and when he had called home to wish his mother a happy birthday he had mentioned the ‘tattoos’ and how great they looked, much to his brother’s confusion. It turned out that no one had gotten a leopard print tattoo that extensive in the seven years the parlour had been open, which meant that Savannah was lying. Faced with an older and more experienced Huntsman, Savannah admitted that she was a faunus and begged him not to tell anyone. In return, he got her to run errands for him for the rest of her time at Beacon; nothing major, just collecting things from shops or delivering stuff, picking up things he needed such as books for assignments.
 * Savannah still wasn’t happy though, as he kept her rather busy and her own grades started to suffer for it. She sometimes thought about telling her teammates just so she could leave Cimet and not worry about him telling others, but fear held her back. She had lied to her teammates and classmates for over a year now; she was afraid of how they would react. She pulled away from her team, much to their confusion, but they didn’t push her as they were sure she would come to them about her problems eventually.
 * This continued up until Cimet graduated. Savannah had a couple of months of relaxation until he called her again, asking her to run some errands for him in town. Her time was further eaten away until she was barely scraping by in classes, but she kept her secret still. She knew she was making it worse by not telling her teammates and lying to them for three years, but she was afraid of their reactions and the distance that had cropped up between them and kept pushing the matter off, which in turn made it worse.
 * She graduated unhappily and feeling more alone than any other time in her life, and started looking for ways she could escape the life she had made for herself. She couldn’t bare the thought of returning home to Mistral, which was where Cimet had family and so posed the risk of running into him there sometime. She contemplated becoming an Atlas Specialist for a bit as at least the military would provide her with some anonymity in her mind, until she found out about Aegis. The idea appealed to her desire to be as far away from everything she had known far more and she enrolled immediately.
 * She failed her first attempt at Aegis’s initiation, being woefully unprepared for it. Her second attempt failed as well, as she hadn’t worked out the bugs in her jetpack at that stage between running solo Huntress missions to fund her project and still running errands for Cimet whenever he was in town. She didn’t give up, single minded determination prompting her to get to Aegis in a way that she had never been before. Her third attempt succeeded, and she was made the leader of team SKIE.
 * Learning from her mistakes at Beacon, she was upfront about being a faunus and was rewarded with a team of friendly and supportive people. She graduated with good marks and now lives at Aegis full time, running missions and hanging out with her teammates whenever possible.
 * Personality: Very insecure, though she’s learnt to stand up for herself in recent years. Prone to envy and jealousy when she sees other people having it ‘easier’ than she does, but still buckles down to achieve her goals by herself.
 * Likes: Freedom, flying, pasta
 * Dislikes: Emotional manipulation, whether it’s doing it, receiving it or seeing it, sugary food
 * Notes:
 * Savannah was a Cloud in her time at Aegis. In canon, Savannah would have gone on to become an Atlas Specialist.
 * She pretended to be human because she thought it was easier than being a faunus, not because of any actual racism.
 * Visual reference for faunus markings and combat outfit: markings, outfit. Please note these are not exactly the same but similar.

 * Expanded Occupation/Business Details: Huntress for Aegis, running missions all over the world like normal.
 * Skills: Machine repairs, weapon forging, personal flight, jetpack building
 * Certifications: Pilot License in most single-person flight vehicles as well as Bullheads
 * Expanded Relationships/Family Life:
 * Qetza Cottal: Looks up to him as a faunus who is unafraid to be himself and uses him as a role model for her day to day interactions.
 * Zaffre Favion: Neutral towards him, doesn’t really have much of an opinion either way
 * Cimet: emotional blackmail for five years has made her rather submissive when it comes to him, though living at Aegis has taught her strength. She doesn’t contact him and ignores his calls. He stopped trying to contact her after 6 months of no response.
 * Family: Grew distant to them in her years at Beacon, despite her brothers trying to reach out to her. Hasn’t really spoken to them beyond occasionally sending a birthday text.
 * WSTR: wisteria, old team. After she got blackmailed by Cimet they drifted apart. The other three are quite close but Savannah doesn’t keep in touch with them. Sometimes she daydreams about what could have been if she’d been a bit braver as a youth
 * SKIE: Gets along well with all of them, enjoys hanging out with them. Sometimes old jealousy towards Kunzita surfaces again when she thinks about Kunzita joining Aegis because it was her dream while Savannah came to Aegis to escape, but she squashes it.
