Ok, I hope this isn't too close to the previous character but... I'll post my next character from Team RSST: Sable Poppy.

 Name: Sable Poppy  2) Appearance:  3) Characteristics:  4) Trivia:  Rufus Vespasian: Sable’s boyfriend and leader, they enjoyed each other’s company and were happy together. She enjoyed his tenacity and cavalier attitude in fighting the Grimm and insisting on an aggressive stance, but was warmed by his bashful nature in private. However, his values ended up bitterly reminding herself of her own shortcomings and accidentally drove a wedge between them. In the end, she never knew the extant of his feelings.

 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Eyes: Blue
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Face: pentagonal shaped. Freckles across nose
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Hair: brown, long, tied up in a pony tail
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Physique: Thin
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Combat Outfit: A trenchcoat (not a duster <span style="font-size:14.6667px;color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">you leave open because “itz cooll”, a <span style="font-size:14.6667px;color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">TRENCHCOAT that’s buttoned up ) with fur lining and red markings on the lapel, cargo pants, black boots, and a WW1 officer’s cap.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Civilian Outfit: Standard Beacon uniform with the coat strung over the shoulders.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Background: Sable was born in a settlement outside of Vale’s city limits known as Flanders Field. Due to the Grimm presence, she was given training by and assisted the local militia in defending the settlement. However eventually, when she was 14, Flanders Field fell to the Grimm and the inhabitants were forced to evacuate. While terrified of the Grimm on the inside, she maintained that she wanted everyone to stay and fight, and this attitude of standing ground persisted. Due to her militia training, she was accepted into Beacon and was placed into Team RSST after initiation. Her school year was unremarkable, but she did enter a relationship with Rufus Vespasian, her teammate and leader. However, his love of courage and dislike of cowardice unintentionally stirred feelings of doubt in her and reminded her of her conflicted personality, inadvertently distancing herself from Rufus. The team departed for a routine mission in the wilds outside of Vale, but the Grimm suddenly and immediately spiked in number and activity. The bullhead assigned to take them back was brought down, killing the Huntsman and forcing Team RSST sans Sapphire to bail. Upon landing on the ground, Sable’s morale plummeted, rambling that Beacon has to be sending more help to save them. Wanting to practice what she preached, she suggested the team take shelter in a cave (to provide a chokepoint and to deny any retreat), but when the cave they took shelter in came under attack and retreat was essentially untenable, Sable’s mind broke under the stress and her inner demons ravaged her morale. Eventually, unable to reconcile her terror with her previous desires to hold her ground, she killed herself by shooting herself in the head as the Grimm began their next attack.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Personality: A certainly brave but troubled woman, losing her home of Flanders Field left her with a desire to not lose any more ground to the Grimm, believing in her youth that it could be saved. However, inside she was terrified of them when she finally got face to face with them in training, but pressed on due to her tenacity in defense. She found some emotional relief in Rufus’ company, but his comments involuntarily stirred confused emotions within her. While she doesn’t have the weakest morale in RSST, when her morale did break, it was violent and panicked, ending in her own death by suicide.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Likes: Enjoyed proving herself during initiation and having a part to play in fighting the Grimm, as well as meeting and dating Rufus for whatever brief time they had
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Dislikes: Had self-loathing within herself for her conflicted emotions regarding her steadfast attitude compared to her terrified nature.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Notable Relationships:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Cyan Sanford: Unlike Sable, Cyan knew full well the hopelessness of Flanders Field’s situation and went with it, adapting accordingly. Sable never forgave him for saying this and while not hateful, weren’t particularly close.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Sapphire Terra: Sable noticed Sapphire during the initiation and tried to become close to her. Despite her knowing she too was trying to become friends, Sapphire was too nervous to say or do much, though Sable kept trying when she was available (which was not often once Rufus’ words caused her to question herself). <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Hunter Expansion:
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Notes: Sable Poppy was actually the first of Team RSST I came up with (after a discussion with Kirito and others on another thread about trenchcoats and how to not make them too edgy), I came up with the Team’s theme later. She is based off of a WWI officer: a character who was divorced from reality, wanting their men to charge or hold ground into a meat grinder and expected them to do well when realistically it couldn’t be done. She represents Denial on the stages of grief, which has connotations with black and white, which I tried to fit into her name.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> I) Weapons: <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> II) Semblance: <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> III) Combat Info:
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Name: Saint Mihiel (PLACEHOLDER)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Type: Functional Trench Weapon and Tool (FTWT)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Short Description: A Winchester shotgun with a metal stock. It transforms into a shovel with the stock of the shotgun turning into the shovel blade and the barrel becoming the shaft and the pump becoming the handle.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Name: Maginot
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Short Description: The strength of the Aura significantly increases in strength and she becomes faster in speed.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Visual Effect: The body shimmers a bit and when hit by something, the body violently vibrates.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Class/Position: Defense, tank, close quarters.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.95;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Landing Strategy: Activated her Semblance and allowed herself to crash into the ground.
 * Fighting Style: Tends to stay in one position and allow enemies to come to her and get blasted by her shotgun, seeking them out when they start evading her. When the enemy gets too close for her shotgun or their carapaces are too resilient, she uses her shovel to cut through them. In addition, she uses her shovel to make foxholes, not for cover (as the Grimm obviously don’t use guns…) but as dwellings when in the field.
