Rima Sheridan

"I do not need to explain myself to you, nor do I need your verification. I live for myself."

Appearance
Rima is somewhat-average, standing at five foot three. Her hair could be described as brown, golden brown in bright lightning and dark brownish in normal. Her eyes are the color of the sea; While one is a murky, faded teal color, the other is gunmetal blue. The girl ties her hair with a blue hairband. She usually wears casual clothing, such as a black shirt and jean shorts. On warm days she wears a light grey or white sleeveless shirt.

Personality
She was once of a naive, bubbly persona. However, due to her past (Described below) she has changed. Rimades doesn't care for anything small which doesn't affect her daily life. She is antisocial, and rarely trusts people. However, when she is alone with those few who she trusts, she can become pretty confident and make jokes. Rima is patient. She doesn't snap easily, and hides her feelings well. However, she isn't afraid to yell back, and chances are if someone ends up trying to take control of her she will fight back.

Rima does have feelings, though. If she likes someone, she may get a bit violent to anyone who denies. However, if her feelings aren't returned, she will stop caring and let it cool down. But if someone tries interfering while they do know she likes that someone, a fight might break out.

Backstory
While she was growing up, Rimades' name was a different one, her real name which she tried to hide. Being smarter than most of her class didn't help her social status. She was abused verbally, and was in an abusive relationship. However, that was only with the boys there; When she was ten, she was actually friends with most girls. She stayed with the boys because in her delusions of reverting the past she expected it to go back to normal. She made up many names for herself, although none seemed to fit. Lost in her delusions, the girl ended up joining a group made mostly out of boys, and therefore falling into that abusive relationship. She was used mainly for money. After she left, the group fell apart.

At age eleven, she gave herself a new name on the twentieth of August, and despite not being called that, she had ensured herself that she was indeed named Rimades. Somewhere around October, she was confused in the new society and therefore once again pushed around. Remembering her old situations and not wanting it to repeat itself, she ended up in countless fights, with the two who did push her around scared of her.

At age twelve, she spent time staying up late at night, and going even thirty six hours without any sleep. Of course, only she and her best friend knew this, because if she told the society she'd be marked as a weirdo and/or an outcast. It wasn't much of a difference, really, as she already was due to getting into fights. Those fights were merely some punches and kicks, but it was enough for her "Friends" to mark her as different.

When she was thirteen, she developed a fighting style other than just mindlessly running at her enemies. Of course, she wasn't good at it instantly, but eventually improved a small bit. (Fighting style described below!) It may not be much, but it is a lot more effective for her than charging at someone without a second thought.

Around her made-up birthday, supposedly near her actual fourteenth birthday, her fighting improved even more. She wasn't hurt as much when insulted, but surely she did respond angrily. Rima managed to improve her defense, too- She didn't wear any armor, nor did she have a single shield, but now she could dodge attacks a bit better. After all, she had been practicing that while playing dodgeball when she was a kid. It didn't mean she'd evade every single attack, and Rima was a bit disappointed, but only a small bit. She tried to assure her as long as she is near her goal, it is almost as if she's there.

During her years at Signal, she had learned patience. And it ended up affecting both her fighting and her personality. Rimades made her weapon in hopes it'd be powerful enough but able to be carried and hid. Thus, she made two daggers which could be attached and made into a bow. Her hate of having to carry things came from her childhood, back when she was the only one who didn't leave her bag at home, ending up carrying her bag which was kind of... Heavy. Due to the heavy bag, she became a bit stronger, thus being able to carry a sniper rifle or one of these things she managed to make. But not wanting to carry it around and wanting to run freely wasn't the only reason, as a sniper rifle or any gun in particular would have been too loud. Her antisocial behavior ended up with her getting used to the silence, and that was why she didn't make anything which would cause a crash, a bang, or anything else.

At age seventeen, Rimades ended up in Beacon. She was proud of herself for being there. The reason for being worried about not getting accepted was the paranoia she had, once again coming from the events of her childhood.

Weapons and Semblance
Primary weapon: Chromaggia

She named it after the song from Repo! The genetic opera.

It is a bow which can split into a pair of daggers. Due to never having enough arrows, Rima has to resort to fighting with knives, but when she does have arrows she can do a somewhat-decent damage. Although she can do that, the girl usually uses knives to fight and can get confused when she has to fight with her other weapon. At first when she switched weapons in mid-fight, it took her a while to adapt to it, and she had been doing a somewhat bad job at shooting. But through numerous fights with Grimm, the adapting time decreased to only seven minutes and in those seven she had time to actually focus.

Secondary weapon: None

Semblance:

Glyph semblance

She can create a medium amount of glyphes (?) to stand on, or use them to slightly soften her fall, if she is falling from anywhere that is. But only slightly. She can get really tired after that, and drowsy, depending on the amount of glyphes made. Her semblance is similar to Weiss', but a bit weaker. Not wanting to get too tired, Rimades only uses the semblance when needed.

Fighting style
Rimades' fighting style is simple but unpredictable. She firstly goes into defensive, running around and dodging. It gives her some time to get her weapons out and prepare, but the time varies every time depending on when the enemy decides to try and take a hit. Then, she goes from defensive to offensive side, slashing them with her knives or shooting with her bow, basically using her weapon.

Then she'll go into defensive again, running from them. However, this time, she will hide wherever she can or climb somewhere. If they try and find her, she will jump down or out and stab them. Or, she just shoots them with her bow. It truly depends on the amount of arrows she has.

Next up, she proceeds to use the previous tactic. However, she will stay there in her hiding spot for a while, waiting for them to either get distracted, to give up or to find her. If any of that happens, she will stab them, and possibly kill them. This fighting style doesn't apply only to Grimm, though, as she uses it on humans, too. But, unless it's a life threatening fight, she doesn't aim to kill humans.

 * She is based off Robin Hood. Somewhat.
 * Her name was originally Robin Sherwood, but I changed it mainly due to Robin sounding a bit too much like Rubin which is Ruby in my language. The other reason was that there was another OC named Robyn Sherwood, so I didn't want to be accused of being a ripoff.
 * Rima's color is white because one meaning of her name is "White antelope".
 * Rima does mean "rhyme" in some languages, and she named herself that after her ability to make somewhat decent poems or haikus.
