Yu Mao

Yu Mao
Yu Mao is a rabbit faunus that lives in a hidden mountain community around the kingdom of Vacuo. She with her friends help defend the community from any and all threats to their home.

Appearance:
When it come to her Yu's physical appearance, she has very light complexion with white long hair and golden eyes. Her height is around 5'11'', (minus her ears). Speaking of which, her ears actually don't stand up. Due to the weight of her ears they don't stand up. So she just ties it together and hides it amongst the rest of her hair. She has an athletic build to her except, for the fact that she is top heavy.''

Yu wears a dark faded green chinese style dress. It is sleeveless and short. Barely coming down to her thighs. She wears dark greyish blue form fitting pants and a pair of fade blue shoes. Along with a black baggy style beanie and a elbow pad on her left arm. On the her right shoulder is a custom piece of armor and along her arm down to her elbow. The armor on her arm resembles scales. Both her shoulder and arm are a gunmetal grey color. She also wears a pair of custom vambraces with fingerless gloves. On her waist, she wears a orange sash under a worn leather belt. When she travels, she wears a crimson red cape as well.

Personality:
Yu has a warmth about her and can be stern when she needs to be but, the aspect everyone describes the most about is her maternal behavior towards everyone. Even though she denies this, her own mother will playfully admit this. Much to the embarrassment of her daughter. Holding down multiple jobs of her community including a bakery and being the only type of authority along with her friends.

When it comes to strangers, she keeps them at arms lenght and at times keeps an unhealthy suspicion. Until they proven themselves, she will hold a hostile attitude towards them. She views everyone in the community as family and they do to.

Weapons and Abilities:
Everyone in her community know how good of a fighter she is. Everyday they can see her practice by herself or with her friends. Great at hand to hand, very reminiscent of wing chun but, her bread and butter is her weapon "Tianti Zhizhu".

At first glance, it looks like long black cylinder with multi-colored lights on it. With a press of the many buttons on the strap, she can get a dust spear from her carrier. Either by pulling out or by having it launch out. The buttons represent one of six different types of spears. The spears themselves are a combination of different materials that gives it more durability and flexability from a normal spear. Attacking with these spears add an elemental damage to anything hit. When they sustain enough damage, they begin to break. Final after they break, they explode into their given element. For example, with her most used spear, the red spear or fire spear. It explodes into flames and catches anyone in the blast radius on fire. The ice spear will actually turn into a giant formation of ice crystals and anyone close enough will get trapped in the ice itself or by hit by ice crystals when then form.

Yu can hold her own when in a close combat but, is weak when it comes to ranged attacks. She's fast but, the only type of ranged attack she has is by throwing her spear. She's a very honorable fighter. Never attacking a weak or defenceless opponent. More about keeping the peace than to show off.

Yu, for the most part has been self-taught. Even to unlocking her own aura and to a lesser extent her semblance. Her semblance is the ability to control the gravity of herself or anything around her. She can either focus it around herself, on people or objects, and pockets/bubbles in areas around her. What she can do with it is make things float or make them heavy. Meaning she can make someone or something unable to move but, it takes alot of effort and concentration for her to use it on anything other than herself. Leaving herself fatigued afterwords. When it comes to using it on herself and her weapons, it's become second nature to her.
