For Carmesi Electrica, her backstory may seem incompatible with her personality : she like money and not taking risks, but she chooses to become a huntress. And can you elaborate a bit on the Semblance ? How does carbon manipulation works (changing shape, solidity...). By the way, did they even have coal in Remnant, or they did and simply prefer Dust ? Well the title and training she'd receive as a Huntress would enable her to revcieve amounts of money far larger than she'd be able to otherwise and at a much faster rate. As to the risk, that's why she wants to acquire strength and knowledge, so that she can minimize that risk. And Carbon Manipulation basically means that she can control and shape solid carbons, as well as being able to extract them from other matreials. And I assume they do have carbon on Remmnat, otherwise something unknown must be the building block of all life on the planet. I mean, on Earth it's the fourth most abundant element by mass, and while Dust is probably more widely available on Remnant, I doubt that the basic structure of the planet is so different that it doesn't exist.

Plus besides coal there's still things like graphite (pencil lead), limestone, and diamonds.
