Well I posted in the contest, I stayed up way too late but I figured I should get this done now while I was inspired instead of putting it off. Finished it faster than I thought I would.
Weapon: She wields twin shotguns that attach to her arms, allowing her to duel wield and fire them with ease. She had them designed to fire bits of shrapnel laced with a drug that makes those under its effects far more compliant and nice to her. Though she prefers not to use them unless someone is being particularly troublesome for her.
If you manage to actually piss her off, and lord help you if you do, she may decide to combine her weapons into their ultimate form. Her shotguns can combine into a cannon of devastating power, power so tremendous that it not only drains her aura but physically injuries her, causing nosebleeds or worse. It's powerful enough to level entire villages.
Semblance: Emerald's semblance grants her power of the wind itself. She can use this ability in many ways, to blow her foes away, reach higher highs, slow her falls, to suffocate those who don't do as she says, or to play pranks as she often does. Her favorite use of it is to spread a particular drug into the air that makes all those who breath it in a lot nicer to her. People are a lot easier to manage when they feel happy after all.
Personality: Emerald is what you would call a people person. She's very child-like and energetic, gets easily bored and ready to do the next thing. She hates having to do boring things that aren't fun and will get someone else to do it for her. She's used to getting what she wants, if she wants you to be her friend, then you're her friend, you don't say no to her. Those she deems her friends she'll shower with gifts and attention, and will protect them fiercely, as long as they don't disobey her of course. She is surprisingly forgiving, and oddly naive for a high ranking member of the White Fang. Telling her what she wants to hear is a good way to stay alive and in one piece.
People who simply refuse to do what she says, stand up to her, or betray her well...they get punished like the meanies they are. She typically lets those under her command punish those who are bad, as she'd rather spend time with those that aren't mean to her.
Appearance: People who meet her are shocked how adorable Emerald appears, considering who she is. Her Faunus heritage is obvious and proudly displayed, her long, black hair comes paired with black cat ears and a tail. She takes great effort to hide her human ears with her long hair as she dislikes them. Her eyes are a deep emerald green, big and expressive, you can easily see her emotional state just by looking at them.
She tends to wear skirts and dresses, almost always green. She really likes that color. She is often holding what appears to be a stuffed animal, unsurprisingly a cat.
History: Emerald once lived in a small Faunus village, it was secluded and safe, far from civilization and those that would harm people like her, or so they thought. She was only nine when they came, the humans. They attacked without warning, killing any Faunus they came across, setting the village ablaze. Emerald's mother told her to run, she and her father stayed behind to buy Emerald time as she ran far into the woods, holding nothing but a stuffed animal in her arms. It was the last time she saw them. Eventually she found a hollowed out log to hide in, where she cried herself to sleep. She was cold and alone, knowing full well that her parents and the entire village were gone, forever. She didn't understand why, why had they done this...why could they have been nice?
A group of Faunus, members of the White Fang cell that operated in the area, found Emerald hiding in the log and took her in. The leader of the cell, Cristal, took a particular liking to Emerald, and treated her like she was her daughter. They had both lost their parents at a young age, and so they connected. Cristal taught her to fight, helped her create her own weapons, discover her semblance. She had found a home again, had a new family with the White Fang, and something to fight for. She never wanted what happened to her and her village to happen to someone else, never. But fate was not so kind, again tragedy struck. The White Fang was slowly becoming the terrorist organization it is known to be today, and tensions were high. Cristal wanted to settle things peacefully with the nearby human settlement, and agreed to meet with their leader to discuss the situation. But things went very, very wrong. The human leaders saw the Faunus as nothing but animals, they killed Cristal and the other Faunus with her. One managed to escape, and told Emerald and the others what had happened. It was at that moment that something snapped inside Emerald. Once again those she cared about and loved had been taken from her, because the humans wouldn't be nice. She knew at that moment what she had to do, she had to punish the humans, make them be nice so that they wouldn't hurt anyone ever again.
And so she struck out, her and the remaining members of her cell went toward the human settlement at the dead of night. They stopped on top of a ravine that overlooked the entire settlement. That's when she did it, when she saw the human settlement she screamed with rage. They had been bad, they deserved what was coming to them. She combined her weapons into their ultimate form, pointing the massive cannon at the settlement. Her aura and rage fueled the weapon, and she unleashed its power. When the dust settled, all that was left of the settlement was ruins. The few who survived were taken back with them, they had been sufficiently punished, but now they would be taught how to be nice. She would teach them the error of their ways and make them see that being nice was far, far better. Oh they were resistant at first, but Emerald was patient. Those that submitted to her will were rewarded and deemed her friends. She would care for them and they would want for nothing. But those that resisted and defied her well, they had to be persuaded by the more...extreme methods of her fellow White Fang. Sometimes she would try to persuade them herself, try to plead or reason with them. She didn't like having to hurt them, but she knew that tough love was the best love. They would learn to love her after all, she couldn't understand why they would want to disobey her, she was so nice to them when they did what she asked! She'd give them anything they wanted, as long as they loved her.
The leaders of the White Fang found Emerald to be useful. She would use those that she taught to be nice to help their cause, have them infiltrate the human cities, bring back more people to be persuaded and reasoned with. Emerald was the reasonable one after all, she just wanted to make everyone get along and be nice. And they would be nice, she would make sure of it.
Yeah it's a little more challenging to turn Emerald evil because she has an insane amount of innocence. Not to say it's impossible, cause I can think of a tragedy or seven that could have made her become far darker.
