Criticize yours another time Vedran. Alright, time for the next member of ASTR:

Scaíth Skye: Female, Human, 18 years old.

Traits: Has black tattoos around her eyes and neck.

Physique: 1,71cm tall, has an athletic body, orange aura, ambidextrous but favors more the right hand.

Hair: White, black at the middle

Weapon: Marthanais. A "gauntlet" (forgot the exact word) that goes up to her right shoulder. Has small spikes all over it, and a long sword-like blade at the front. The blade has small rockets on it, and a chain that connects it to the gauntlet. She can "fire" the sword to send it flying towards something, and can at any time retract the chain either towards her (to pull the enemy), or towards the blade (to send herself flying towards the enemy). Or just swing it to cause Grievous Harm With A Body.

Semblance: Shadow Walk. She can "dive" into the shadow she's standing on, and then walk between shadows, jumping out of any other nearby shadow. The bigger the shadow, the easier it is to jump in and out of it. If the shadow is too small, she can still go in-out of it, bur it's much harder and requires more Aura. Requires Scaíth to be able to see the shadow she will jump out of. At night, she can still use it, but she still needs to see the area she would be jumping out from. She can't use it to jump out of a "floating shadow", in case any of you are wondering.

Fighting Style: Fire Marthanais towards the weakest enemy, then either launch herself towards it, pull it, or swing it's body around. In any case, she focuses on one thing: causing as much destruction as possible.

Landing Strategy: Launch herself towards the closest body, then either grab onto it, or push it towards the ground with a kick then launch herself towards it again to increase it's falling speed.

Personality: Serious, focused, direct, no sense of humor, hates idiots and noobs, has no problem with kicking your balls if she deems necesary.

Casual/Combat outfit: A black tank top, a dark-blue jacket with orange stripes near the sleeves, mud-green pants and grey boots, along with a black spiky collar in her neck.

Symbol: An orange punch upwards, as if saying "Freedom", but spiky and with a blade coming out behind the middle finger.

Background: Used to be part of a nomad group near Vacuo ever since she was born. She was an experienced hunter alongside her brother. Although she dedicated most of her time to training and hunting, her free time she freely spent it helping the others.

Her life changed during a Grimm attack. Tons of Wendigos (Snowy, much stronger Beowulves) attacked their group by surprise. Scaíth and her brother were scouting the area when the attack occured, they tried to run away but there were too many, and Scaíth's brother died in front of her as she went back to the camp to tell the others. But it was too late, and the Wendigos attacked the camp soon after. Dozens of people died, and the remaining 30% of the group, including Scaíth (someone had to protect them just in case) ran away to a nearby cave to hide. There, unfortunately, the Wendigos found them.

Scared for their lives, the people tried to fight back, Grimms and Humans getting slaughtered one after another. Scaíth however, was trapped in shock and fear at the moment, and found herself knocked down by something, as bodies, both Grimm and Human, piled up on top of her, blood falling on her face. She passed out. A group of Hunters scouting the area saw the attack, and ran there to help, but arrived too late. They however, found Scaíth, and brought her to Vacuo to recover. When she woke up and found out about what happened, she fell to tears. She was given a small apartment for her to stay, as a small consolation, but she still felt like shit. She got a small job to get money during her time at Vacuo.

She later, however, decided to stop beating herself up. She decided that there was only one thing she was truly good for: Hunting Grimms. And as such, decided to become again what she used to be: A Hunter. She saved up enough money to enter one of the high-school-level Academies, used her skills and knowledge to Ace every in her class, and impressed the headmaster enough to recommend her to Ozpin, and as such moved to Vale to study at Beacon.

Notes: She likes dogs, especially the strong ones.

Wondering what job she took to get money? 2 words: Maid Café.

She knows most simptoms one normally shows after eating raw Grimm meat.

Scaíth if I remember right was something like "Shadow" in Irish. She's based on Scathatch+Cu Chulainn.
