Sorry for the short delay.

Second member is Lazuli Laerd, without any inkling of a doubt the smart one of the group. And probably the smart one of her entire class. Lazuli was adopted as an infant and raised by one of the current greatest minds in the research circles of Dust science and history, and all that knowledge rubbed off on her. As her ambition in life is to learn as much she can about the world around her as she possibly can and use that knowledge for the betterment of man- and faunus-kind, it should come as no surprise that she is quite the intellectual, and is often given the role of Team Tactician. She was raised as a good person, with strong views on morality and virtue... even if they're based on more of a logical, statistical standpoint than an emotional one.

However, Lazuli isn't the best at communicating with others. Her extremely advanced vocabulary for a teenager aside, she lacks some key social skills; namely, her inability to tell when she's being intrusive, nosy, aggravating, or generally insufferable. This isn't much of an issue in battle, but because of her scientific, clinical manner of interpreting things, she can often misinterpret the words and directions of others. Furthermore, she is very bad at improvising. While she can plan several steps ahead, the moment something doesn't go according to predictions, she falls all over herself. Ot doesn't help that her abilities in straight-up combat are lackluster at best, making her best suited to the support role.
