[center][h1][color=C4C4C4]Clara Cuhullin[/color][/h1][/center][hr] Panic set in as Clara slowly realized she had gotten lost from the group that she was supposed to be with. She had stepped away for just a moment to admire some of the natural beauty in the terrain around her, and without realizing it, she had been left behind. Unfortunately, no one had made it a priority to let her know that they were getting ready to move on. All she knew is that as a new recruit, she was supposed to be joining the others at some sort of arena in order to have their abilities assessed by the headmaster. Or something like that. The change in environment was really a lot to take in, and Clara was still not sure that she was even ready to fight others. [color=C4C4C4]"Come on, Clara. You're already screwing up. Just find the stupid group,"[/color] she said to herself. Fortunately, a rather kind faunus had heard her frustrations and pointed her in the direction that she was supposed to be. She gave them a quick smile and took off at a light jog, hoping to not be too late. The thought of not being able to give good first impressions brought a frown to her face. This was supposed to be a new beginning. She was meant to do great things. Now she was probably going to get stuck with the rejects, the lazy, the inept. All because she was late to this stupid assessment. Fortunately, she had finally stumbled across the group of students that she was originally with. They might have been hard to recognize if it weren't for the incredibly tall girl standing among the others. Her height was slightly intimidating, and made her someone Clara wouldn't easily forget. Clara slipped in between some of the other students, hoping that her tardiness would go unnoticed. Clara had arrived just in time to hear talk of scouting beyond the walls. The headmaster wanted volunteers to perform this task, and several students had already volunteered. It was the perfect opportunity to prove herself to her peers. [color=C4C4C4]"I'd like to join, if you all would have me,"[/color] she said confidently outloud to no one in particular.
