Core Info

1)Basic info

-Name: Natsumi Tuemessia (Thanks to VerdanThell for the suggestion of the surname).

-CNR explanation: Natsumi is Japanese for "summer" and "beautiful". Of course, it can also mean "vegetable, green" and "pick, pluck". As for Tuemessia... not so sure. Foxes are general in warm colors (though they do appear in greys and whites on occasion).

-Species: Faunus

-Age: 17 (Likely 18 as of End of the Beginning)

-Gender: Female

-Symbol: A fox's skull, with two tails dangling from the bottom of it. Might not be the most interesting, but eh. Better than nothing.

-Handedness: I wanna say right, but since she uses a two-handed weapon, she could really ambidexterity. Whatever the case, she pretty much favors the right hand.

-Physical traits: Attic-Fox ears atop her head. Her hair color changes during certain seasons. During warmer ones, its dark-brown with streaks of ghost white. During colder ones, its snow-white with streaks of cornsilk.

-Misc traits:(A distinct item or clothing the character carries on them and in what context, a preference to a color on their outfits, a verbal tick, basically something distinctive not located on their body)

-Nicknames: Runner, Scout (both of these by her grandfather).

-Occupation: Student at Beacon (probably not for a while now, though, in light of Volume 3.)

2)Appearance

-Aura Colour: It changes color during certain seasons. Colder ones, it's white. During warmer times, its a sort of light-green.

-Aura Effects (Effects are things like Ruby’s rose petals or Yang’s red eyes.)

-Height: 5'7"

-Weight: Uh... 140 lbs? IDK. :/

-Eyes: Spring-green

-Skin color: Pale

-Face: ...?

-Hair: About shoulder length.

-Physique: Eh, probably the same as most girls on RWBY. Is this thing even necessary?

-(Type of) Outfits: Oh boy... she kinda has a collection of outfits. She wasn't able to bring it all to Beacon (thankfully), so she likely brought about 2 or 3 outfits. Two have been revealed so far, and she tends to wear one for every two seasons or so.


 * Winter attire: Hooded floral-white wool coat, beige shirt beneath it and caramel-colored leather pants. Maybe jet-black snow-boots.
 * Spring/Summer: A forest-green short kimono, with canary lines and designs flowing across it.. The shoulders don't have any covering, and the sleeves don't have those drapes at the end. A small, pale-green obi wrapped around the abdomen, possessing her mark in silver. A pair of black shorts and some pale-goldenrod sandals were the final touches to that outfit. Hmm, maybe I should change that last bit to some shade of green? Fashion ain't me strong-point.

-Gadgets: The next member of their Team handles those, not her.

3)Characteristics

-Background: Can't say much for her right now. Her family mainly lives in the woods, putting some distance between themselves and society. Part of the reason is because her grandfather isn't exactly too sure that all of humanity would welcome, so he and his wife (who passed away before Natsumi was born) built a modern cabin as a sort of private sanctuary. She decided to attend Sanctum a few years ago, following her family's legacy as fighters (her grandpa fought in the Human/Faunus War years ago, and I've consider making her Mother a Huntress at one point). She pretty much attended Beacon because she figured that it'd be connected to a variety of cultures. That, and she figured that she'd have more luck there as a Faunus than at Haven.

-Personality: She's generally carefree and playful, and has been known to be a bit mischievous (once tricking her grandfather into going on a wild goose chase while she used her Semblance to manipulate his hat). However, she is a bit wiry of others, specially since she's a Faunus attending an academy founded by Humans. She also takes the Grimm a bit seriously, as she's had some personal experience with them in her "Trailer". She's not a big fan of the White Fang either. She also tends to like variety, trying to do something a little different each day. She believes that can allow her and others to express themselves, and pretty much shows this with her massive wardrobe back her home. And speaking that, she has an interest in the fashion industry (her grandfather jokingly blames her mother for getting the lass into it in the first place)

-Likes: Variety, the fashion industry, reading different types of magazines, chocolate (hot chocolate, mocha, ect.)

-Dislikes: Bigots, the White Fang, Schnee family, monotony

4) Trivia: She's somewhat influenced by the Kitsune of Japanese legend. Her surname is derived from the Tuemessian Fox, a figure from Greek Mythology. The general idea behind her family's bloodline is that they represent foxes of various mythologies to some degree. Her grandfather fits the bill of the Tuemssian, her mother the Kitsune. As for the latest generation, well... I guess the children of a Kitsune and human? They're often discribed as having some form of magically, and she is a bit of a Dust mage. I added the Arctic-Fox traits to make her stand out in the crowd a bit, as well as to fit with the "oddities" that the rest of her team are; A dude with central heterochromia, then her, another guy with a sort of steam-punk mechanical arm, and a mute with limited telepathy.

-Notable relationships:
 * Grandfather: He acts as the main parent figure in the family, since her mother's a traveling actress. While does play with in him on occasion (the "chasing the wind" case above being a prime example.), she does genuinely care for him. She does occasionally go on business trips to the capital of Mistral, watching how he and his coworkers work in museums.
 * Mother: While they usually see each other at least twice per year, they are on terms with each other. Since the mother's out traveling, she occasionally sends she finds to her daughter, including clothes she found interesting. It's from her that the young Faunus obtained her interest in attire and a taste for variety. However, the mother tends to evade questions regarding Natsumi's biological father. At this point, the lass is suspecting her birth to be the result of a one-night stand. Still, that hasn't stopped them from caring about each other.
 * Uncle: Haven't really put too much thought into this. Considering her sense of humor, though, it might be possible that she got it from him. Not sure if they'd seen each-other enough for it to actually rub off on her, though. :/
 * Kaimana Doran: While I haven't officially decided yet, chances are that she and him are gonna be Partners. They get along for the most part, though the lad tends to be annoyed by her tricks at times (especially when he's the victim himself). They both share an interest in history, and do help each-other with classwork from that course. And while they did have faint interest with each other in the beginning, it wouldn't be as full-blown at the same speed as Arkos. They did have a dance during the ball, and that was about it. With Beacon destroyed, though, it'll likely grow between them.
 * "The Tinkerer (sorry, not gonna reveal his full name until his oneshot's released): They both share a sort of fun-loving attitude, and he has gotten involved with her antics on more than one occasion. Of course, he has a bit of a "gentlemanly" side of his personality, and has kicked a racist bigot between the legs on one occasion.
 * Alyssa Shiori: Likely a similar case as "the Tinkerer". Natsumi may empathize with her in regards to losing her parents in a rockslide, and Alyssa will likely stick up for her against bigots. Of course, Natsumi may also need to keep her out of trouble, since her human friend's a bit headstrong at times.

-Notes: Decided to post her here now that her "Trailer" has been uploaded.

Hunter Extension

I) Weapons

-Name: Hisame (Japanese for "ice storm")

-Type: Light Artillery Dust Naginata (Suggestion by Phantomlink).

-Short Description: Melee form is a naginata, capable of channeling elemental blasts of Dust. A ranged mode (similar to a rocket-launcher or a mortar) is often used to shot "Dust rockets", as well as to propel herself around.

II) Semblance

-Name: Protean (name suggested by Phantomlink)

-Short Description: Manipulating two certain aspects or powers during certain seasons, one at a time. In her case, limited Elemental control of Ice (fall and winter) and Air (spring and summer). Depending on the power present, the potency of her Dust might be a bit greater than usual.

-Visual effect: Aura trails down from her hands, like glowing veins. If she's making physical contact with something (like ice), the veins spreads to them as well.

III) Combat Info

-Class/Position; Something of mix between a mage and some type of agility-centered class, I suppose.

-Landing strategy: It'd likely involve using her Semblance and  weapon's mortar-mode to either slow/soften the fall, or to rocket-jump off of something (assuming that there's anything for that).

-Fighting Style: While she doesn't mind getting close to her enemies, she does prefer to put some distance between herself and them (hence the weapon choice). Finesse and technique would likely play a factor into this as well. She tend to be mobile during combat too, so closed space may limit her combat abilities. She's careful to monitor her Dust reserves, so she won't go all out mage during combat (unless she considers it nessacery).
