I may find more time to work on this, but I wanted to put my OC here now, just in case.

Core Info

1)Basic Info 2)Appearance: 3)Characteristics: Chloe grew up in a low-class neighborhood in Vale with her widowed mother Ayame,- a manager for a grocery store. Chloe never really had many friends when she was young, she would be too busy helping her mom; helping stock the lower shelves or sweeping floors, anything she can do to lessen the burden on her mother. But regardless of what Chloe did, her mother's business wasn't making enough for the two of them to live on. Faced with the impossible decision, Ayame gave Chloe a small silver locket and sent her off to live with Collis, Ayame's father-in-law and a manager for a Dust refinery and store in Vacuou, in hopes of giving the nine-year-old a chance at a better life.

Collis had tried to distance himself from Ayame after his son died, but took Chloe in. Chloe felt terrible about the shift, feeling that if she had worked harder, she could still be living with her mother. She quickly resolved to work for Collis as much as she could, and send what she made to her mother. She asked Collis how she could help, and he was impressed by her eagerness to work and her capability at such a young age. As such, he began to assign her basic chores around the store portion of his business, while giving her pocket money for her help, which she would always send back to her mom.

As she did small menial jobs around the store, Chloe couldn't help but notice the delicacy they handled the shipments with, and she asked Collis about it. As he explained Dust to her, she couldn't help but be fascinated by it. She wanted to see what it could do, so she began scrounging small leftover pieces, bringing them out behind the house and throwing them against the ground, watching as they leapt to life. It never seemed to grow stale, either. She had been doing this for a few weeks before Collis saw what she was doing. She was just getting ready to throw a piece of wind Dust when he called out to stop her. She jumped about three feet in the air- literally- fierce winds propelling her far higher than she could have reached by herself, and she tumbled back down to the ground dazed, but unhurt.

Collis was understandably worried, but after making sure Chloe was ok, he found himself more impressed than anything. He got into contact with the teacher in charge of the classes regarding the utilization and properties of Dust and explained what he had seen. He was met with incredulity, but went to see for himself. Chloe didn't know how she had flown the first time, but she wanted to impress both the teacher and her Father-in-Law, so she gave it her best, managing to reach a controlled hover about a foot off the ground for about 10 seconds. Chloe reveled in the praise she got from the both of them, and decided she wanted to hone her talent further. When she came of age, she enrolled to the primary combat school in Vacuou.

While there, she was only really interested in Dust usage for a while. Aura was tough for her for her first couple years, but she started to get the hang of it in her 3rd year. She had the hardest time with choosing a weapon. Nothing felt right. Even when she made the weapons herself, they never felt balanced in her hand. She was tempted to just skip over weapons entirely, but she realized the importance of carrying something when she ran out of Dust while training one day, and started carrying around a 9-inch spearpoint dagger with a black handle and a flowing green design both on the sheath and as an etch on the blade.

Now in her last year at Vacuou's primary combat school, Chloe is at the top of her class in Dust usage, and a bit of a teacher's pet. She's currently unsure of what she wants to do going forward, but seeing Pyrrha on a box of Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes, she's considering continuing her training as a Huntress to get sponsored in order to bring in money for her mother and for Collis. 4)Trivia Ayame Aurea- For the first year or two away, Chloe was upset at her mom for sending her away, and upset at herself for not working as much as she should have. Angry and embarrassed, Chloe fell out of contact with her mom for a while. However, after the two finally talked through it, Chloe finally understood her mom's motivations and the fact that nothing she did would have changed anything. After a teary apology, the two promised to keep in contact as much as they could, and they did. The two lean on each other for support and as a bit of cheap counseling, and are trying to convince Collis to let Ayame stay with him for a while so they can be together.
 * Personality: Upbeat, bubbly, playful and maybe a little naïve, Chloe is always eager to please those she's close to. She's a very hard worker, but also takes on guilt a lot more often than she should, blaming things that she had little to do with on a lack of effort on her part. On the other side of that, however, her situation made it hard for her to just be a kid, so she loves hanging out with friends. Despite a rough start, she's generally very optimistic.
 * Misc Traits: Doesn't have the largest vocabulary.
 * Likes: Praise/recognition, meaningful work, Fireworks, companionship
 * Dislikes: Failing to meet her own goals, Weapon training, busywork, strong cheeses, being alone
 * Notable Relationships:

Collis Aurea- Chloe is deeply thankful for Collis for all he has done for her, seeing him as a father figure. She admires his drive to help his employees, but he can sometimes get a little cold and distant when he's mulling over a problem, and Chloe has learned to avoid him when he gets like that.

Rowan Gyana- Chloe and Rowan met over an interest in Dust, though they have different ideas about how to go about their training. Rowan is far more interested in the Theory aspect, spending great deals of time in books, while Chloe's approach focuses more on honing the talent through practice. The two have learned quite a bit from each other, and enjoy spending time together.

Chryssa Lilac- Looking at the two of them side by side, you'd never expect these two to be friends. Chloe's bubbly personality seems like it would push away the shy Atlesian lancer, and in the beginning it did. But as an effort to become braver, Chryssa started to talk with Chloe, and the pair soon became friends. Chloe is always helping Chryssa broaden her horizons little by little, while Chryssa helps Chloe recognize and appreciate the everyday things. Huntsman Extension
 * Skills: She has a very accurate memory
 * Class Allusion: Based off of Nino, a mage unit from Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade.
 * Notes:

Weapon
 * N/A (her dagger is in the gadgets section and her Dust-based combat is explained in "Fighting Style").

B)Semblance
 * Name: Extra Effort
 * User: Chloe Aurea
 * Introduction: The user can use Aura to mitigate or eliminate the effects of various bodily weaknesses like overexertion, hunger or lack of sleep.
 * Range: Personal
 * Type: Physical
 * Purpose: Utility
 * Visual Cue: A thin, persistent green glow is seen around Chloe
 * Tier 1: The user can mitigate (to a degree) effects that come from a lack of bodily needs by sacrificing some of her remaining Aura.
 * General Limitations: It takes more Aura the greater the effects she's feeling are, and the Semblance only lasts so long, meaning overuse will catch up with her very quickly
 * Applications: Chloe primarily uses this to keep going in especially long or tough fights.
 * Dust Interaction: N/A (I realize it's a little ironic, but this just fit her the best and I can't think of any Dust interactions)
 * Notes:
 * Reflection of Character: Chloe has a deep-seated desire to prove herself and to help those around her as much as she can, which stems from her being required to work at so young an age, so her Semblance allows her to continue going beyond the capabilities of others

C)Combat Info I) Day to Day Life
 * Preferred Range: Mid/Long
 * Landing Strategy: Using Wind Dust to glide to the ground.
 * Fighting Style: Chloe's combat style places a heavy emphasis on speed and evasion while using primarily Pure Dust Spells for offense. Her preferred Dust element for combat varies based on the situation. She typically prefers using Fire Dust as her weapon of choice to launch fireballs or gouts of flame from her hands, provided she's not in a forest or a town that uses primarily wood as a building material. If she is in a location where using fire would do much more damage than good, Chloe prefers firing blasts of high-temperature steam using Steam Dust. Wind Dust is often used to help her mobility by using it to propel her short distances at high speeds.
 * Expanded Occupation/Business Details: The Golden Flower Grocer is doing marginally better, though at this point Ayame is considering abandoning the store and getting a job elsewhere as she's being pushed out by larger companies. Collis's Dust business is making a fair amount, and is especially popular with those who disagree with the Schnee Corporation's abuse of cheap Faunus Labor.
