[B]Semblance:[/B] Swan Plumage: Fiona's semblance allows her to summon white feathers made from aura that she can manipulate. These are not harmless feathers by any means. They can be razor sharp, and can be used to attack opponents as if they were throwing daggers. They can also be used as a shield to soften the blows of attacks if she creates enough of them. The more she exerts her abilities, the more taxing it is on herself. [B] Weapon:[/B] A long white rapier. It has a swan's head at the end of the handle. A dust crystal can be placed at the hilt for enhanced attacks. She tends to use Water, Wind, Ice, and Hard Light crystals.

She has large, expressive brown eyes that often reflect sadness, framed by long eyelashes. She has a small button nose, and full lips. Her skin is naturally pale, and serves as a contrast with her long, silky, black hair. She usually doesn't wear make-up, and when she does, it's only a small amount that you wouldn't even notice it.

Since she is a Swan faunus, she has white feathered wings growing from her back. Her clothes are customized to accommodate them. Odette generally dresses elegantly, but not too over the top either. She generally prefers to wear white, and other pastel colors. Her casual outfit includes a white to with a lavender ruffle around the neckline.

On her legs are a pair of white leggings. Her look is completed with a pair of knee high white boots. During class, she wears the standard Haven Academy Uniform. Exactly as it's supposed to be worn. [B]Personality:[/B] Fiona comes across as being aloof when people first meet her. She is a quiet young woman who doesn't seem to smile very often these days. While she is capable of being polite in conversations, she doesn't speak to others much unless someone engages her first. After being bullied as a child for being "The Ugly Duckling" she's always been a bit reserved. The the things that happened in her life made it worse. She often cried and sulked for a long time. While she got a better handle on her grief now, she never truly got over everything that had happened to her. While she tries to carry herself with grace in public, she still has bouts of depression every so often. While being slow to trust others at first, beneath her quiet exterior, Fiona is a very kind and gentle soul. She gives to those less fortunate, and is willing to help someone in need. She is sympathetic to the plights of others, and is sweet to all those who stick around long enough to form a relationship with her. She is loyal and affectionate to those she is close to, and would do anything for them if they needed it. Due to the bullying she experienced as a child, Fiona has a rather low opinion of herself. No matter how much people try to tell her otherwise, she still sees herself as the ugly duckling, and is rather embarrassed when she is given complements. Fiona generally keeps how she is feeling to herself. The last time she spoke up, an innocent man got killed for his trouble. That being said, she does have a hidden violent, angry side that she does her best to keep to herself. She doesn't take kindly to bullies, and evildoers in general. She can also be vicious in a fight. [B]History:[/B] Fiona and her parents lived on a small village in Vale. She lived a fairly simple life on the island with her family. Her mother was a Swan Faunus, and be extension so was her daughter. Growing up was not easy for the young girl. Her face was riddled with blemishes, she was awkward and clumsy, and people found her too thin and pale. She was bullied relentlessly by her peers for her looks, on top of the fact that she was a faunus. She was given the nickname The Ugly Duckling. All of this bullying damaged her self-esteem. Her parents were both hunters, and they would one day teach their daughter to fight and follow in her footsteps. That changed when she was twelve. A swarm of Nevermore's invaded the Island. In the chaos that ensued, both of the young girl's parents were killed. The bird grimm were eventually all defeated, but the young girl was left parentless. The girl was of course devastated by the loss of her parents, However, she wasn't alone for long. She was taken in by an older man named Sombra Von Rothbart. He was a friend of the Odette family, and was glad to take in their child. Especially because it would give his own daughter someone to play with. Sombra was kind to her at first. He supported her through all the sadness she was feeling over her parents demise. He put her in ballet classes, as it would be a way to help her be less clumsy, and it would give her something to distract her from the pain. Gradually, Odette's appearance improved as she grew into herself. The blemishes on her skin disappeared and was now smooth and clear. She was also a lot more poised and graceful. By the time she was 16, Odette was no longer the Ugly Duckling. People were in awe of Odette's newfound beauty, but she still remembered how badly people treated her when she was the ugly duckling. Although she kept it to herself, she still held some resentment towards her abusers. Over time though, Sombra's true colors began to show. As the girl grew older, he took more of an interest in her. He would order her to dance for him and with him, and make unwanted advances torwads her, and then beat her when she refused. He would apologize for it the next day, but the cycle of abuse would continue. At some point, Sombra took her out of school, and kept her as his prisoner and had to do anything he asked. Then there was the matter of Sombra's daughter, Odila. With the exception of her clothing choices, Odila looked exactly like Fiona. She was also a faunus, except her wings were black. She product of an affair Sombra had with Fiona's mother, and the reason why Sombra was so obsessed with her. Fiona and her half sister never spoke to each other. Fiona wanted to escape, but felt like she couldn't. Where would she go, wander the streets? She had no family, what was she to do? She did however make it a point to sneak out every night while Sombra slept. As long as she made sure to come back before the sun rose, she could enjoy a few hours of freedom every night. It was during one of her nightly escapes that she met a handsome young man named Derek Siegfried. The two were smitten with each other from the moment they laid eyes on each other. He invited her to a party he was having at his home the next night. Fiona happily accepted, thinking maybe this would be her chance at freedom. Except, at some point, Sombra caught on to what Fiona was doing. He followed her out one night, and caught her with another man. Rather than comfront her right then and there, he concocted another plan. The night of the party, Fiona arrives, but Derek notices there is something different about her. Her wings were black, and she also was dressed in black. She was also much more foward and flirtatious than she normally was. The prince didn't think too much of it though, believing that she was only excited, and maybe she dyed her wings to go with her outfit. Did faunus' do that? He didn't know. The truth of the matter was that Sombra had sent his daughter in her place. Fiona eventually awoke, and hurried to Derek's house, only to witness Derek and Odila then kissing passionately. The sight of which brings Fiona to tears, as she flees. Derek only realizes his mistake after catching a glimpse of Fiona in tears. He manages to catch up to her, but also catches Sombra trying to take back Fiona. Derek demands she be released. It isn't long before a fight breaks out between the men. It ended quickly after Sombra pulled out a gun, and shot Derek dead. At this point, something in Fiona snapped. Sombra had kept her prisoner for far too long. Now he went and killed an innocent man. As Sombra was gloating, Fiona snatched the gun out of his hand, and pointed it at him. Sombra taunted her, saying she would never do it. And then she shot him, multiple times to make sure the man was truly dead. When everything was said and done, Fiona was horrified with what she did. She felt guilty about killing another person. Even if it was someone who was holding captive, killing was not something good people did. Fiona knew she had to get out of there, she flapped her wings and flew away. She didn't know where she was going to go, or what she was going to do. She just knew she had to leave. This is how she wound up in Mistral. Far away from her home in Vale, where she could get a fresh start. She also enrolled in the Haven Academy, in an effort to become a Huntress. The Grimm were responsible for killing her parents and putting her into this mess in the first place. She wanted to be sure no one would have to suffer like she did. Her first year was fairly average. Her dance skills helped make her a skilled fighter. She mostly kept to herself during her time there, and didn't really have any friends. She occasionally got teased for being a faunus, but she just ignored it.
