I'll start this one off with a bang, the expanded upon version of Grey's wife/Garens Mom.

(please note, her background contains the largest bit of information on the circumstances that brough team WGRN plus Grey, Rost(younger) and Lila (Younger) to Vale.)

Sylvia Ectaris/Race:Faunus/Gender:Female/Age:34(deceased)

Traits: Mouse Ears, Whiskers

Other:None

Height:4'7"/Weight:115lbs/Eyes:Pale Blue/Hair:Dark Brown/Aura:Silver Green

Weapon: None

Semblance:

Druid, a fairly rare semblance, Druid allowed Sylvia to “borrow” the senses of any living things within a large radius. At the time of her death, she could project the field of aura that enabled her to do this up to one mile in any direction for approximately 30 seconds. Due the the large drain this puts on her body, she rarely used her semblance outside of it's default 40 foot range. On account of her ability to borrow the eyes and ears of others, very few secrets could be kept from her if she wanted to know them; however, being a highly docile and polite person, she typically did so only to keep her children (and occasionally husband) out of trouble. When she is connected to a person, Sylvia can communicate indirectly by making her intentions known and conveying simple directions

Personality: Sylvia was among the most gentle, kindhearted, and unobjectionable people in remnant, always there for her friends and family, willing and able to settle almost any sort of dispute simply by being present, as her naturally gentle presence made those around her far less willing to resort to anger or violence.

Symbol: Trinity surrounding an Azalea flower

Background: The oldest daughter of her home villages previous chief, Sylvia grew up isolated from the rest of the world, knowing only her family and the other folk who lived in their small coastal village. Having been extremely docile from a very young age, she never underwent the combat training typical of her home, where children began to learn basic weapon technique and aura control by the time of their 10th birthday. Though she never learned to fight, she did develop exceptional control of her aura and discovered her semblance when she was still only 12 years old, having mastered it's use by the time she was 15. A few years after the other young men and women of the village had taken over protecting the village, Sylvia was using her power to survey the forest around the village and noticed a young, wounded man lying against a tree near a large number of dead Grimm. After getting permission from her father and acquiring aid from some of the villages warriors, she set out to retrieve the man before any more Grimm appeared and killed him. By the time they reached him, he was unconscious. Sylvia and the warriors carried him back to the village, along with the large axe-like weapon they found nearby. After a few days, the man -whom they learned was named Grey- awakened, inquiring as to his whereabouts and whether or not his team had come back for him. Sylvia extended an invitation for him to remain with them until his team returned. Due to the fact that he was still recovering from his injuries, he agreed to stay, on condition that his weapon Kriegsgott be returned. Over the course of the next 2 months, Sylvia and Grey began to grow closer, up until the day the rest of team RSLG came back. When Sylvia met his teammates, Rost and Lila, and his sister Rouge, she got along fairly well with the first two, it was Grey's sister whom she had conflict with. Rouge, being a very jealous person, was extremely enraged when she learned Grey would rather stay in the village than return to vale. Once team RSLG, sans Grey, had departed, he and Sylvia officially became engaged and had their first child, a boy named Garen, within the year. 17 years later, practically to the day, Sylvia detected a disturbance several miles long slowly moving towards the village, she decided then that it was safest for her husband and children to depart. As they had already decided Garen and his cousins would be taken to Vale in order to enroll at Beacon, it was a simple matter of convincing Grey to take her youngest, Lila and Rost (who had been named for his teammates) with them. Grey was the only other person who knew of the chaos that was to come, as she had elected to keep her silence rather than let the village die in fear. Mere minutes after the airship carrying Lila, Rost, Grey, and the future team WGRN had departed, a sinkhole swallowed the village and many acres of surrounding forests. From the middle of the pit arose a centipede Grimm that dwarfed even the oldest of goliaths, being nearly the size of beacon academy itself. Fortunately, a massive deposit of raw crystalline dust beneath the village was detonated by the collapse, wiping out the Grimm and a sizable chunk of the coastline.
