Series: RWBY
Name: Yang Xiao Long
Appearance:
Age, gender, and species: 17, Female, Human
Personality: Yang is a very cheerful, blunt, and carefree individual. She is very straightforward, and carefree enough to crack jokes and make (horrible) puns in the middle of combat. She enjoys fighting, almost always fighting with a smile on her face. However, she loses her demeanor when faced with an opponent that she can't defeat easily. She's confident enough to interrogate a man by grabbing (And twisting) his crotch in front of all of said man's minions. (Who she then proceeded to pummel into submission). She is also very fun loving and will do almost anything to avoid boredom.
Back story: Yang is the daughter of Hunters, Taiyang Xiao Long and Raven Branwen. When her mother mysteriously disappeared when she was young, her father married Summer Rose, who later gave birth to her half sister Ruby Rose. After Summer's death, she began obsessively looking for her mother, even going so far as to take a toddler Ruby and embark on a search, eventually this lead to Yang and Ruby being cornered by Beowolves, Creatures of Grimm, just before the monsters descended upon the young girls, they were saved by their uncle, Qrow Branwen. This act of courage, and her desire to find out what happened to her mother, lead her to begin training to become a Huntress.
After an unknown amount of time at Signal Academy, Yang was accepted into Beacon Academy, where she she was partnered with Blake Belladonna, and the two of them were placed on Team RWBY with Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee. After a rough start, the team became close friends and work well together, even being able to defeat a master criminal in a mecha through teamwork.
Skills/powers/abilities: Yang is a skilled hand to hand combatant, with her fighting style most closely resembling Boxing and Kickboxing. She is extremely agile, able to dodge missiles fired from a rocket launcher bat. She is also strong enough to easily lift an amplifier that was taller than her. Said amp was so heavy that it made nearby objects. (Including a chair containing her little sister) to jump into the air. Yang is also bright, seeing as she was accepted into one of the most academically demanding Hunter Academies in the World.
Her physical abilities are enhanced by her Aura, the physical manifestation of her soul. Her aura manifests as a red/orange flame that surrounds her as she fights. With her Aura she can take hits capable of shattering reinforced concrete pillars, hit with enough force to throw a man out a second floor window from the first floor, and move at extremely high speeds. (A few years back on the Vs wiki it was calculated that at full power she can move at Mach 39, but I don't really know if that's accurate.)
She is extremely skilled with her weapons, Ember Celica, a pair of Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets. They normally appear as a pair of golden bracelets, but when activated, they expand into a pair of gauntlets that cover her entire forearm and hand. Each gauntlet holds 12 rounds, and she normally carries two types of rounds. Yellow rounds are close range rounds that fire a blast of kinetic energy, while her red rounds fire a ranged blast that flies several hundred feet and explodes on impact. (I personally believe that she can use other forms of dust in her shells for different effects, but prefers not to.) She can also use the blasts from her yellow shells to enhance her mobility.
What really sets her apart from the rest is her Semblance, an ability tied to her Aura that is unique to her. With her semblance she can transform the damage from blows and turn it into energy to make herself more powerful. As the power builds up her hair begins to glow and she begins emitting a fiery aura. At the final stage of her Semblance all hell breaks loose as her eyes glow red and her flames engulf her and her surroundings. She can control where these flames are emitted from and has been seen using them to increase her speed. She will immediately enter the final stage of her semblance if sufficiently enraged or any damage is done to her hair. In her final state, Yang is strong enough to make a mecha suit literally shatter with one punch. Her biggest weakness in this state is that as the power builds her attack patterns become simpler and much more easy to read. Also, knocking her unconscious before she reaches the last stage of her semblance will dispel any power built up.
Items: Ember Celica, Bumblebee (Her motorcycle), 3 cases (750 rounds) of yellow dust shells, 3 cases (750 rounds) of red dust shells, deck of playing cards, 400 Lein (currency of Remnant), first aid kit, picture of Team RWBY.
