The moment Esther had gotten on the airship, she immediately found a secluded corner to sit. Using her large shield, she blocked herself from the others, creating a barrier between her and the need to be social. She couldn’t act like this for much longer as she’ll have to work with a team, but for now she appreciated the tranquility she had in her little corner. Given she had to wake up rather early to make it on the airship, Esther found this a perfect time to take a nap. 

Well, that is until some rambunctious students decided to start roughhousing and managed to knock down her shield. With the loud clang of metal, Esther woke up, a sharp glare at whomever it was who was acting like children. Esther realized there were more students now, and was feeling a bit crowded. [i]This is more like public transportation. You’d think they’d have another airship or something.[/i] And with that she sauntered slowly to find somewhere else to hang about. There were certainly some interesting characters about, a good number with animal traits such as herself. This was a comforting thought given her combat school almost nearly lacked Faunus. One of the many reasons why Esther decided to attend Beacon was it’s accepting to people of different backgrounds. [i]Then again, just because there’s a bunch of us doesn’t mean there’s not going to be any discrimination. Oh well.[/i]

Esther noticed stairs that seemed to lead up to the top of the ship. [i]Surely that’s a safety hazard? Well if you fall off, you’ll probably have to walk the rest of the way.[/i] Esther smirked at the image, deciding some exploring wouldn’t hurt and climbed the stairs. Almost instantly upon reaching topside, the roar of the wind was all she could hear. A particularly strong gust got the best of her, and there was another loud [i]thunk[/i] of metal as the giant shield she wore hit the floor, and she was on her back, struggling to get back up.
