Name: Ai Huang

Age: 16

Race: Faunus (Tiger)

Gender: Female

Appearance: Safebooru
An undersized (standing at a measly 4'6", despite her age, and ironic considering the tiger is the largest cat species) blonde Faunus with tiger ears and a tail.

Personality: Ai is friendly, childish, sly and mischievous. She is sensitive about her height, and is often teased for it -- when she's not being bullied for being a Faunus. She's none too bright, and struggles at the theory aspects of training to be a Huntress, but relishes in the practical aspects and works very hard to push the limits of her body.

History: Ai descends from Faunus who lived in Menagerie prior to the Faunus War, but migrated to Vytal afterwards. As a result, Ai comes from a poor upbringing, living in a small village not too far off from Vale.
At a young age, Ai's family attended the Vytal Festival in Vale, where Ai's parents bought her a yo-yo. She quickly became enamored with the toy, becoming incredibly proficient at performing advanced yo-yo tricks. As a Faunus, Ai had to defend herself against discrimination and bullying from other children, and used her yo-yo as an improvised weapon to do so, though it often got her in trouble and gave her a mischievous reputation.
A year later, Ai's village was attacked by Grimm. It was quickly defended by an experienced Hunter, to which Ai bore witness. As a result, Ai was inspired to become a Huntress. Her parents were supportive of her dream, and sent her away to attend at Signal with the hopes of moving on to Beacon.
At Signal, Ai reforged her beloved first yo-yo into one half of two dangerous Tiger Teeth, "Friend". Afterwards, she saved up money to acquire an expensive top-of-the-line secondary yo-yo, and reforged it into her second weapon, "Stranger".

Weapon: Tiger Teeth, Friend (right-hand) and Stranger (left-hand) Classed: DPSB (Dust-Propelled Star Bandalore). These weapons are a set of two wired mechanical yo-yos with five extendable rotating blades contained inside each disk. The blades can be extended in two configurations: just one (Chinese rope-dart mode), and all five (flying sawblade mode). Dust can be used as a propellant to super-accelerate the disks, change their trajectory more precisely while in the air, or reel in quicker. Similar to Chinese wind and fire wheels, they can also be used in close-range, but much less effectively.
