Tsuki Sukaretto

"Don't worry my dearest. One day we'll be known for who we truly are. Then you'll never have to worry about a thing."

- Tsuki's father, to Tsuki whenever she felt down. Tsuki Sukaretto is a seventeen year old girl who was born in the city of Vale to a family of 'butchers'. Raised from a young age to be able to hunt and fight, Tsuki felt that it was her destiny to become a Huntress. Tsuki is the fourth member of Team CRCT, and is the team's ranged attacker.

Appearance
Tsuki is of an average height, with a slim build that is enhanced by her outfit. She has pale skin, with a small scattering of freckles on her face. Her eyes are brick red in colour and her hair has been dyed silver-grey. Most of her hair has been tied into a pair of twin drills that hang above her shoulders, however her fringe remains wildly messy.

Being a Faunus she has a pair of delicate bat ears on the top of her head, the backs of which are covered in faded black fur, as they were too difficult to also dye. The main part of Tsuki's outfit is the black gothic styled strapless corset dress that ends in a silver frilled skirt. The dress also comes with long, flared sleeves. The top of the dress and the ends of the sleeves are decorated with small silver lace frills. An ornate cloth and metal choker sits around her neck, along with two pieces of cloth that sit on top of her shoulders.
 * Huntress Attire

Tsuki wears a pair of ripped back tights, on top of which she wear a pair of heavy black boots, which are decorated with added silver cloth pieces and frills.

The most striking feature of Tsuki's outfit is her mask, which is styled similarly to those of the White Fang's with some major differences. Tsuki's mask isn't styled after a Grimm, but rather part of her own Emblem. It also only has one eye slit each side rather than two, and is decorated with black lace details on the sides.

Whilst in combat Tsuki also dons an archery glove on her right hand. Tsuki maintains all of the normal Beacon Academy school uniform, only keeping her mask as part of the outfit.

Character
"I do this because there is nothing else that I am meant to do. I can see it in the Moon's guidance. I am fated to be a Huntress."

- Tsuki Sukaretto To anyone who didn't know Tsuki, she would appear completely weird. Those who do know her simply accept that she is a little odd.

Tsuki exists in a constant state of being in a daydream. Whilst actually being clued into the world around her, Tsuki will appear as if she has blanked out, or she will randomly say something totally unrelated to the current subject of conversation. But those who take the time to listen to her will find that she has actually said something useful, or has even noticed something that everyone else missed.

Tsuki is also a very large believer in fate and destiny, thinking that everything is also set out on its course and that the people involved are all inconsequential. She doesn't think that people are useless or helpless, simply that there is no point trying to stop something that is meant to happen.

Despite this, Tsuki has a strong filter when it comes to people. If she doesn't like a person she won't outright say it, instead hiding it amongst large, convoluted words and riddles. It may still be clear that she is insulting them, but what exactly she's saying wouldn't be clear.

Tsuki follows an odd sleep schedule, especially once she gets to Beacon. Back at home, she would sleep through the day and then do all of her daily activities at night. With the school schedule not being so forgiving for nocturnal students, Tsuki found herself having to adapt quickly. The moment class finished she would head back to her room and power nap until dusk, where she would spend as much of the night she needed enjoying her natural waking time and doing homework, before sleeping again until dawn.

Backstory
Tsuki was born as the second daughter of the Sukaretto family, who ran a butchers within the commercial district of Vale. A part of the business from the moment she was strong enough to wield a cleaver properly. Alongside her training for the business Tsuki's father taught her how to fight with blades and how to shoot with a bow, stating that she would never know when she would need the skills. However, he didn't realise that this was the first steps that pushed her toward becoming a Huntress.

Life went by as normally as possible until Tsuki was twelve, when suddenly strange Faunus she had never met before would appear at the butchery, stay indoors for a few days before disappearing to never be seen at the place again. It wasn't long that Tsuki found out that they were White Fang members being granted a hide-out after committing crimes. It was then that Tsuki found out her parents were both members of the organisation, and that they both wished for their daughters to join the cause.

Tsuki's sister jumped upon the opportunity to join the group, but Tsuki refused. She knew within herself that it was her fate to become a huntress, not a White Fang member. Of course, being a Huntress didn't stop her working for the situation, so Tsuki decided to simply watch where she was going. For all she knew, her destiny was to become a Huntress fighting for the White Fang. That answer seemed to satisfy her parents, who promised that they would help her get into Beacon Academy when she was the right age.

Once she was seventeen, Tsuki was indeed allowed to travel to the Academy. During the initiation Tsuki met up with her new teammate, Chloe Liakada, and despite all odds the two forged an usual friendship as they proceeded to pick up the Black Pawn relic from the temple. Later at the ceremony the pair would meet their other teammates, Cerise Sirene and Russet Drake.

School life went pretty normally for the team. After a fun night at the Vytal Ball, Team CRCT were flown off back to Chloe's home village for a light Search and Destroy mission. After a week the team were flown back, which was when Tsuki received some awful news. During the Breach of Vale, Tsuki's sister had been confirmed by the WF to be one of the many Faunus that had lost their lives within the tunnels. Her parents begged her to come home and join the fight, but she refused. More and more it was becoming clear her destiny likely did not lay within the White Fang.

This was finally confirmed for her during the Battle of Beacon where Team CRCT came into conflict against the attacking White Fang members. Tsuki was thankful not to encounter her parents at the battle. Tsuki followed her team back into Vale after the evacuation of Beacon, where she would stay and rest for a while.

Weapon
Tsuki's weapon of choice is called "Wings of Shadow". It is defined as a Multi-Dust Claymore Longbow (MDCL). In it's base form it is simply a highly stylised sword with an unusually large hilt section with a seemingly random handle on the side of it, with a two handed grip at the base.

WoS comes into its own once turned into it's bow form. This happens by the blade splitting and folding out to the sides. Part of the handle opens up, and the entire handle is drawn back into the hilt. This in turn pushes out the firing mechanism, with all the strings already attached to the end of the blades. The handle on the side of the hilt now becomes the man handle for the bow.

Rather than use traditional arrows, this bow shoots out Dust 'Bolts' that are formed within the handle after the Dust type(s) are selected from a spinning disk on the side of the bow. Each Element can provide five full shots each, which could be increased to ten if used in a 'Fusion Bolt' (Taking half of two Dust types). Tsuki has various types of 'Bolts' she can use:
 * Fire Bolt - Will explode or set fire to things upon contact.
 * Ice Bolt - Will freeze objects upon contact.
 * Lightning Bolt - Will electrocute things upon contact.
 * Gravity Bolt - Will temporarily reverse the affects of gravity in a small area upon contact.
 * Wind Bolt - Will create a powerful air blast upon contact.
 * Earth Bolt - Will create a small rock formation upon contact.
 * Steam Fusion Bolt - Made from Fire and Ice. Will create a steam cloud upon contact.
 * Dust Fusion Bolt - Earth and Wind. Will throw up a dust cloud upon contact.
 * Electroblast Fusion Bolt - Lighting and Air. Less potent but wider reaching version of the Lightning bolt.

Fighting Style
Tsuki has two distinct fighting styles, depending on whether 'Wings of Shadow' is in its sword or bow form. In sword form Tsuki focuses more on wide heavy swings with both hands, rarely holding her weapon by only one hand.

In bow form Tsuki prefers to stay out of side site, shooting a bolt from a hiding spot before allowing the Dust to reload as she relocates. Should she be caught in a CQC situation before she can load another shot or switch back to sword form then the split blades can still be used to slash and block, but Tsuki has less practise with that form.

Semblance.
Tsuki's Semblance is called 'Dreamweaver'. With it Tsuki can create non-physical imperfect constructs from things has seen in her dreams. They can be almost any size, expect larger objects can and will drain her too quickly upon creating them. No matter the size, only one may exist at a time. The constructs will last a minute unless destroyed. Upon their death, they will vanish into a silver powder and then nothing.

Each construct appears glistening and silver. However, everything is imperfect in some way. A construct of a person could be missing the details of their face, or an animal its fur.

As they aren't actual physical creations, they cannot be used for offensive purposes. Tsuki mainly uses them as potential intimidation tactics, but they're mainly used as a distraction. They also serve as silent companions for when Tsuki is alone at night.
