Currant Ruppel
Genre: RWBY
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bissexual
Age: 17
Race: Faunus (Ruppell's Fox)
Semblance: Animate: Currant can use her aura to amplify a characteristic of an object. She uses her semblance to create weaponised plushies, which can then be used to send aura projections through, which take on abilities of their designs. However, she can also improvise and use any non-living object, though she is less likely to have control of the aspect the projection takes if she has not worked with it before.
Weapon: Needles and Thread. She can use them to fairly quickly make a variety of weapon types to use with her semblance, sewing in Dust and aura while she makes them, though she must be standing still and concentrate to make them, making her vulnerable to attack during that time. Already-made objects can be brought with her into a battle, and she is never found without at least a few plushies on her. The more time she spends on the plushie, the more useful it is, and the better she can control it (as well as using less of her own aura later to control it), so she typically uses premade plushies, even though they might not be perfect for a given situation. Plushies are most useful if she can see them, but they can still perform minor actions out of her sight. She can fight with multiple plushies at once, though the more she uses, the more focus she has to apply. She can also directly use the needles and thread as ranged weapons or traps.
Fighting Style: Mid-long distance. Close-range puts her at a disadvantage, and she usually has to switch to defensive tactics at close-range.
Looks: Red hair worn in a bun and with loose strands at he front and back. One of her side bangs is pinned back while the other hands free. She wears a gold ribbon in her hair. Tan skintone. One eye is red, the other is black. Short in stature with a slender-medium build. Black fox ears with white tufts. She wears a crimson and gold sleeveless shirt, tight-fitting black capris that go to the top of her calves, and crimson and gold shoes.
Personality: Bubbly and vivacious, Currant fully embraces being a faunus and even goes so far as to flaunt it. Prejudices seem to slide right off of her, and she will give anyone--human or faunus--a chance. She is quick to make friends, loves goofing around. She is known to frequently play with her plushies, using them and Thread as makeshift puppets. She usually gives a plushie to people she cares about. She loves hot weather, and she will complain whenever it is cold or raining. She usually carries around half-made plushie projects to work on them where ever she goes. Spicy foods are her favourites, and she will turn up her nose at anything bland. She loves bright colours and anything shiny.
History: Born on the border of the habitable region of Menagerie, she grew up in a hot, arid climate. The settlement was prone to Grimm attacks, though less so than some settlements on other continents, due to the hostile weather. Her family is independent and tough, and she takes after them, though she does not let that make her any less friendly. A huntress after one visited her settlement to help clear out a small Grimm invasion, and Currant was starstruck. That day she decided she was going to become a huntress and help save the world from Grimm.
Family and Associations: Both parents living, as well as a younger brother. Her cousin is Kall.
