Well, I also have another White Fang OC.

He's a snake Faunus, whose trait is a forked tongue. He alludes to the fairy tale The Snake Prince.

When he was a kid, his parents ordered him to pretend to be mute when he was in public, so Humans would think he was Human because they wouldn't see his forked tongue. They told him the reason they wanted him to do that was so that he'd definitely be treated much better by Humans than he would be if they knew he was a Faunus. So, he was pretty much raised being afraid of Humans finding out he's a Faunus. He's 19 now, but he still acts mute in public whenever he doesn't have his WF mask on. He uses his scroll to communicate with people.

Some members of his family work in the Schnee mines, so he's always worried that one of his relatives might get caught in a mining accident one day. He, like many other Faunus, feels that Mr. Schnee doesn't care about the Faunus miners and sees them as expendable. This has led him to have kind of a complex about that, where he's afraid of his life having no meaning and no value. He wants to know that he's important, that his life and existence has an effect, that someone would notice and maybe even care if he died or disappeared. So, he joined the White Fang and started working his ass off to get promotions and become an important member who stands out from the mooks. Any time he sees a way to impress the boss, he takes it.

Though, he's very hesitant about killing Faunus or doing something that could get Faunus killed. Even if that Faunus is a traitor, he isn't comfortable killing them. The most he'll do is capture them and bring them in, then let others decide what to do with the traitor. After all, he can't just let a traitor go, so he has to do something. He feels that it's a sad day when any Faunus dies.
