[b]Name[/b]
Aurelia Persinette

[b]Country of Origin[/b]
Beacon

[b]Age[/b]
17

[b]Physique[/b]
A young woman whose height usually has her towering over most girls her age, she stands at five feet nine inches. Her limbs are long, giving her a willowy look, her skin on the paler side of the spectrum. Her features are refined, her curves leaving little impression on most (much to her dismay), her bust and waist modest. She lets her dirty blonde hair hang loosely around her most of the time, with bangs covering her forehead and a barrette picking some of it off her face. Her eyes are a cloudy gray and usually sharp. Her [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fanloid/images/d/d2/Image_Okurine_Luka_byMomopanda-conceptart.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120201191943]usual battle attire[/url] leans towards the simpler side. Her [url=https://static.zerochan.net/Megurine.Luka.full.1665476.jpg]casual[/url] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ea/a5/46/eaa5460ea8ea4c1db62fdd8c5c22fa7a--drawings-of-outfits-drawing-outfits-ideas.jpg]outfits[/url] vary, though they're guaranteed to be frilly and feminine. She tries to dress on the modest side, though her skirts end up coming out a little shorter than intended due to her height.

[b]Motivation[/b]
To explore the world and see all it has to offer.

[b]Personality[/b]
A rather cool, reserved, and serious young woman. There are very few things that faze or get a reaction out of her, resulting in a rather emotionally repressed attitude. That isn't to say she doesn't feel, it simply takes a lot of effort to show it. She has a hard time understanding other people, although she does know how to sympathize. Her upbringing did include manners, although she takes it an extra step further by being unflinchingly polite, even to those who probably don't deserve it. She is rather pampered, used to the finer things in life, carrying a gracefulness about her that coupled with her coldness gives her the air of a snob. Knowing how people perceive her, she does wish to get closer to people, but doesn't know how. Her first year let her get familiar with people, though she hasn't exactly made any tight connections. She's determined to change things, promising herself to be more open, although getting out of her comfort zone is a challenge.

Despite it all, she feels like her true self on the battlefield. There's something about the thrill of it that makes her come alive. She retains her level-headedness, but becomes much more vocal and aggressive, her preferred style of a no-holds beat down considered rather ruthless. She is very capable of working on her own, her semblance enabling her to be self-sufficient, and her calm head lets her have a lot of situational awareness.

[b]Brief Bio[/b]
[hider=The Short Part]Aurelia was born into a family of much wealth, and she was loved very dearly by them. She was spoiled beyond reason, showered with gifts nearly every day, her mother and father loving, and she was happy. She did remember, however, that one day, suddenly everything changed. The happy childhood became one of much fighting and arguments. Her family became distant, her mother and father moreso, and it killed her to see everyone act that way. She knew it was somehow her fault--she could never forget the way her family members would glare at her, throwing her nasty looks, how her father's loving look turned to one made of pure sadness, though no one ever bothered to tell her why. And so she got her own little shell and stayed in it for as long as she could. It was not until her mother died that the fighting stopped, but now she felt a deep, painful sadness instead. She did not understand why anything had happened, and as frustrating as it was, there was nothing she could do. 
And so she just accepted it.
The so called ray of sunshine was that now her father was like the way he used to be--kind, loving, and slightly smothering, though she loved it. He was back to normal, but she could never go back to the way she was. He understood, gently pulling her out of her shell, having the patience of a saint when she hid. While this was equally as confusing, it was easier to adapt to. Her father raised her the best he could, though sometimes when he thought she wasn't looking, he would have an expression of regret, but she never got the courage to ask him what was wrong.
Years down the road, Aurelia discovered Dust, often looking towards the stores the same way most kids would look at candy stores. Her father got the hint and started practicing with her, showing her how to use it properly and warning her of the dangers. She then asked him what Dust was really used for, and he explained that Dust was what Hunters would use to fight off the Grim. She remembered perking up at the story, After much pleading, tears, and a very reluctant father's blessing, Aurelia enrolled into Sanctum Academy. Fighting was an alleviating experience. It was actually a little scary how free she felt in battle, but it was with pride that she found her calling as well as developed her own style. After much studying, many bruises, the discovery of weaponry and the delights of battle, she was accepted into Beacon, more then ready and willing to become a Huntress.

[hider=Persinette Family History--The Truth Behind Odette's Childhood]
The family of Rampion were once well known in weapon manufacturing, only to fail when they were exposed to use Faunus slave labor. With their wealth quickly declining, they became desperate to keep their money. And so the family of Persinette came forward, offering them wealth, in exchange for closing down their company and to give their eldest daughter, a woman of astounding beauty by the name of Angelique, to the Persinette's eldest son, a young man with no ambition named Dominic, in marriage. The two were wed and locked into an unloving relationship, as Angelique resented being used by her family. Still, they were expected to continue the family line, and so Aurelia was born, and she was doted on by all. 
That isn't to say she fixed their relationship, as Dominic grew suspicious as Aurelia got older. You see, both Angelique and Dominic were dark haired and dark eyed, and yet Aurelia had blonde hair with bright eyes. He refused to believe that Aurelia was his daughter, and the two families got into a feud that would become common gossip. Unfortunately, this extended to the young girl; what once was a cheerful, happy child became very enclosed and afraid of nearly everyone. She would often hide wherever she could and not speak to anyone for days, afraid of getting yelled at and blamed for something she couldn't control.
For many years this continued, and one day, Angelique grew very ill. On her deathbed, she begged Dominic to stop the fighting between the families, regretting that she let it continue for so long. It was here he asked if Aurelia was really his daughter, and he was heartbroken when she would not respond right away. She admitted to having an affair shortly after they were married. Still, she asked that he take care of Aurelia, as once she was dead no one would take care of her. Angelique died shortly after that, and despite a lingering anger, he made sure to try to go with her words. Despite her wishes, however, the two families shunned one another, and after Angelique's death, they never spoke or acknowledged one another ever again. While he failed at that, he made sure he wouldn't make the same mistake with Aurelia--even if she wasn't his blood, he admitted that she was the last person he truly loved.[/hider][/hider]

[b]Semblance[/b]
[I]Efficiency[/I]
Aurelia is able to manipulate the way her body expends energy. If she need be, she can endure much longer in battle then most people. She can also use more energy than usual if the situation arises, resulting in a 'power boost' of sorts. She doesn't require as much nourishment or sleep, either, though when she does finally crash it takes a lot longer for her to recover. This also extends to her usage of other things such as Dust: she uses less Dust for her spells, and is able to fire off much more then the average person. It also works in the reverse, being able to power it up more than most people can.

[b]Weaponry[/b]
[url=https://www.pinterest.com/pin/316800155016926151/]Rampion[/url]
A seemingly straightforward staff that looks like something straight out of a story book. Its primary use is as a conductor for Dust, though it has two 'modes' in expelling it. The first comes out as normally casted spells, usually quick and in rapid succession. The second spins the top, forming a sort of cannon from which Dust expels in a much larger, stronger amount, though it takes more time for each burst. Its metals are also heavy and durable, making the staff practical for close distance fighting as well.
