Bianca’s theme after her kidnapping
Name: Bianca Nuit

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus (Snowy Owl)
Her flying speed is approximately 22 MPh

Weapon: Gelure is a steel Katana imbued with ice dust. This was Bianca’s first weapon, which was destroyed yet still salvaged during her kidnapping by the Dodici family. Gelure is an odd weapon as it is weighted terribly and typically would be considered unusable by most competent swordsmen. However, because of Bianca's semblance she is able to correct its weighting and make use of it. She is able to use the dust inside of the Katana in a variety of ways, for example stabbing the ground she can create an igloo-like dome in for protection. She is also able to create ice mid slash and by doing so launch chunks of ice at her opponents with deadly speeds.


Once Bianca makes her return to Beacon, Estelle will give Bianca her Second Weapon to replace her first, as it was lost.

C’est la Vie: Bianca’s second weapon is a purse – or rather, a clutch. Its base is composed entirely of the element Osmium. One of the densest elements known to man, and the clutch weighs just shy of a single metric ton. It was Bianca’s personal handbag when she was much younger. She would use it in order to practice her semblance when it was developing in its early stages. Given to her by her sister upon visiting Bianca in the medical ward at Beacon, its named felt somewhat ironic. Bianca normally wouldn’t be able to hold it. However, dude to the nature of her semblance, the smaller an object is the easier it is to control. By utilizing a combination of repulsion and attraction she is able to maintain it in her hand without actually feeling its weight. This is how she wields it but maintains its incredible stopping power.

C’est la Vie contains an inscription upon its surface that Estelle herself inscribed, it reads: “Petit a petit, l’oiseau fait son nid” It is an old Mistralesian saying that roughly translates to: “Little by little, the bird makes its nest.” Estelle hoped it would help with Bianca’s recovery, a beautiful purse that she used to practice with, bringing her back to a sense of her early life and joys. The purse, having been originally used for training does have a function to reduce its weight. The user must channel their aura into the handbag in order to lighten it, the more aura, the longer it is weighted as a normal handbag. This is one of the main weaknesses of the weapon – as it can accept anyone’s aura.

C’est la Vie does have a secondary mode, it is that of a spear. The purse folds in on itself and extends horizontally, forming a jagged crystalline spear. She can use her abilities with attraction and repulsion in order to actively use the spear at a range in order to fight those without coming up to them. It may shift back at Bianca’s will as long as it is in her hands.



Specialty: Bianca primarily plays an assassin role in fights as she has the ability to fly with her wings. This allows her to be very agile and boast incredible mobility on tougher landscapes for her allies. Her wings are powerful enough to easily carry her through the air at speeds reaching just above her maximum sprinting speed on land. With strain on Bianca, she could fly while carrying someone roughly her own size for approximately ten minutes at about half her normal speed.

Bianca’s mother and father are both professional duelists with a sword. Thusly from a young age she received some of the best available tutelage since near the age she could walk. She has become quite adept at not only using her wings to her advantage but has also learned how to duel.

Semblance: L’appel du Vide – Bianca’s semblance is one of attraction and repulsion. She is able to repel or attract things towards or away from a desired location. An example of this semblance is when she is fighting she can repel an enemy’s sword from her own and follow through with a strike that will go unblocked. Bianca’s semblance however has a few quirks and limitations however.

The first limitation is the slower something is moving, the easier it is to affect. An example of this is when she hovers above the ground she isn’t using her wings as much as she is repelling her own body from the ground. Because the ground will not move, she finds it incredibly easy to repel herself from it. It should be known that Bianca is able to send out a wave of attraction or repulsion in any direction or in a wide area, but it is considerably less powerful when compared to targeting one specific person or object.

The first quirk this semblance has is that smaller objects are easier to push and pull whereas larger objects are more difficult - their weight does not matter. This also ties hand in hand with the second quirk in which objects that want to be moves are much easier. For example it is much more difficult to redirect a sword swing then it is to make someone move faster (who wants to of course).

The second limitation of Bianca’s semblance is that while she does find it easy to use her semblance from a distance, maintaining more than two attraction or repulsion fields is unrealistic. It would take up a great deal of energy and leave her exhausted and unable to battle.

Dépaysement – Bianca’s upgraded semblance. In a moment of dire need, Bianca can turn her semblance in on herself completely. First to accomplish this she channels all of the aura typically required by her semblance into the tip of her fingers. It shines a brilliant white light, almost opalescent. She then turns this light unto herself, seemingly clutching it and bringing it towards her heart. Once this happens the aura will channel through her body and she herself will begin to shimmer in a brilliant opalescent light. This will also cause her wings to grow to just over twice their typical size. These are not technically Bianca’s wings but her aura adding to them. They are shimmering white wings, angelic in appearance but made only of aura.

This form Bianca takes acts as a physical boost of her abilities, however it comes at a price. She loses all previous abilities of her semblance making flight a bit more complicated than it previously would’ve been. She needs to rely solely on her wings at this point, meaning she wouldn’t be able to carry anyone without a great deal of hassle and exertion. This also means that she can no longer block projectiles with her semblance, nor can she shift C’est La Vie’s form from the one it is currently in upon activating her secondary semblance.

The benefits of this form are as follows. Bianca is just over four times as fast as she previously was and has complete command of the skies when flying alone. While she is immediately made a bigger target she is also stronger as well. She can quite easily lift C’est La Vie with minimal help from her aura (much less than without this state). It should also be not does not gain that she does not gain any other abilities outside of a physical boon, however that boon is quite strong – being able to strike through five foot wide concrete piller with a fairly soft punch when this form is active. If Bianca ends this form before five minutes are up she’ll be able to walk away from the fight on her own accord, however five minutes is her upper timer before fainting due to over exertion. She also consumes a large amount of calories when in this form, meaning her dietary intake will have to increase as to not waste away.

Overall, while this form could be seen as a lateral move, it simply gives Bianca more options as a fighter if her primary semblance is ineffective against her current opponent. She is also much more suited to fighting a greater amount of grimm in this form than her previous. However, she loses much utility and her ability to aid her team is greatly diminished. It is most certainly a tradeoff.

Personality:

Bianca is very different when placed in comparison to most Faunus. She is from a wealthy and well respected family in Haven and has been brought up to have an air of excellence about her. She doesn’t look down on others, but she finds great passion and happiness in expenses and fine dining. Bianca doesn’t lack any self-confidence and instead prides herself as a Faunus, often flaunting her wings to others. Among other things, such as fashion, fine dining and sword fighting, Bianca finds herself most excited when she doesn’t know how something will play out; this has caused her to become somewhat rash and willing to take risks.

She was raised to use her power and wealth to help those who are excellent find their place in this world. Thusly it is her dream to one day teach at Beacon so that she may find youth that seem excellent and help them become something grander than what they may’ve accomplished on their own. While Bianca typically has either a kind disposition or a very serious one she has been known to make puns from time to time, she enjoys getting a laugh out of her teammates. She also has been known to force fashion advice on her friends and teammates.

After the events of Zephyr, in which Bianca was kidnapped shortly after her mother’s funeral and physically, emotionally, and mentally tortured by the Dodici family – Bianca came back changed. Her wings clipped, she found herself unable to fly. She stopped reading her fashion magazines, found herself staring at the bottom of an empty glass more often and while Ozpin told her after her recovery she could rejoin the Huntsman ecosystem as a member of JCL she found herself worried, she couldn’t look at people with the confidence she once did, she no longer showed her wings off to students, faltering at Napoli’s puns, wincing at Gratia’s coldness. The things she once held dear to her ripped from her.

At the behest of her sister, she has begun to paint again after returning from her kidnapping. She has kept her quirks but finds them less pronounced now.

After murdering Vitoria Dodici Bianca has begun suffering through incredibly potent anxiety attacks due to a subset of post-traumatic stress disorder. When she first returns to active duty, the sound of a gun going off in a small - contained area, not unlike the vehicle she was in when she shot Vitoria, has triggered them. Another, less notable trigger for her anxiety attacks has been speaking about death.
