<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#0047ab;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Background:Born to a poor family in vale and given up for adoption as a baby, Umuthi grew up in  an <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;">orphanage<span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#0047ab;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> until the age of 8, when he was adopted by a moderately wealthy human family that, despite being kind to him, effectively used him as a glorified manservant. At the age of 13, he managed to talk his adoptive parents into enrolling him at Signal so he could be trained as a bodyguard for their own children. After spending several years in Signal, where his aura was unlocked, he applied for Beacon, passing the entrance exam by cunning rather than raw power. He turned home during the brief gap between Signal and Beacon to apologize for lying to his family about his reasons for entering combat school.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#0047ab;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">During beacon initiation, he was paired with Arevik Lusashogh and placed in team LILC. Throughout their time at Beacon, his three teammates never realized he was male, and ignored him when he tried to correct them. Besides that, they were generally rude to him, and treated him poorly. After graduation, he actively avoided them and spent 6 months as a hunter on active duty before being hired at by Ozpin to teach a class on medical botany.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#0047ab;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">As a result of his effeminate appearance Umuthi has been mistaken as being a woman for most of his life, and has mostly given up on correcting people.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#0047ab;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Personality: Extremely intelligent and good natured, Umuthi tries his best to be kind to others and wil go out of his way to aid students that ask for his help. In his younger years he would quickly become agitated when people mistook him for female, but he has grown out of this. Tends to be quite docile and calm, somewhat passive in most situations.

When in combat agains human or faunus opponents, he is below average for direct combat but can use his weapons to counter effectively.
