Character's name: Tyerra Xois
Character's age: 17
Character's race: Faunus
Character's factions: Beacon
Character's attitude: Tyerra is a sweet, gentle girl. She prefers to see past the faults of people and attempts to let her true self be known. She has more faith in humanity than most Faunus and tries to let others know that she is a real person through her personality.
Character's appearance:
Tyerra is of middling height with ice blue eyes and a fair complextion. She has the ears of a Siberian tiger, and her hair is naturally striped black and white. When not in uniform, she wears a simple white sun dress with a long black ribbon tied around her waist.
Weapons:
She uses two handheld blades. With the pull of a trigger, the blades will split in half, transforming them into small handguns with a design that resembles dragons.
Other info: She has a younger sister who is also attending Beacon with her.
History: Tyerra was born in Menagerie to loving parents. Though they weren't rich by any means,they were rather well off for Faunus. Her younger sister, Katran, was born only ten months after her. They lived in Menagerie until Tyerra was five years old, when her parents decided to live in Vale. They wanted to give their daughters a better chance at life than the monotony of their outcast continent. Upon arrival, Tyerra quickly learned of the prejudices that were so common among humans and Faunus. The human children would always stare at her as if she were some strange creature, and often shied away when she approached. Still, she refused to let that deter her from making friends, and at school a number of the humans who got to know her rather liked her. Many of their parents, however, refused to let them spend time with her out of school.
Tyerra and her sister enrolled in Signal Academy when she was ten, their parents believing it suitable that they learn how to fight in their dangerous world. It was here that Tyerra learned about the Huntsmen and Huntresses who fought against the creatures of Grimm. The thought fascinated her, and she would talk about it almost non-stop with her sister, who seemed a little less enthusiastic.
Over the course of their time at Signal, Tyerra noticed a change in her younger sister. Where they had been close before, Kat seemed to become more aloof and standoffish toward her. She would sometimes drag in home late at night, or be gone for days. Tyerra's concern for her only grew as the years passed by, and when she applied to attend Beacon Academy, she made her sister fill one out as well, and included with them a special not to Professor Ozpin requesting that he allow her underaged sister to come with her. Since then, she's been keeping an even closer eye on Kat as they begin their year at Beacon.
Role-play Sample:
Tyerra stood motionless in the darkened room, keeping her ears open for the slightest noise. Her eyes scanned the room, able to make out every detail as clearly as if there were light. Someone was following her; she could sense it.
"Kat, this isn't funny," she finally called out, but received no answer. She sighed and continued on her way. She knew it probably wasn't her sister. More likely it was some human or other who had never seen a Faunus before. But whoever it was could manage a level of stealth that surpassed even her ability to detect. Mentally, she shrugged. She'd gotten used to being stared at and followed ever since she was young. She accepted--even sometimes basked--in the attention. The more they watched her, the more they would realize just how human she really was.
