Lizbeth Crimson

"Family can bring you up or down, it all depends on you."

Appearance
A well tanned 21 year old woman with red eyes, with blond hair ponytail that goes down a bit beyond her shoulders with a bit of hair let loose from the sides. She has toned muscles from which doesn't get rid of her curves. She wears a black tri-fold hat, she wears a black overcoat with red on the outlines and edges, wide collar that goes up to her jaw, with leather padded shoulders and a shoulder cape attach to the left side. It has a brown thin belt that's loosely attach to keep the coat together. Underneath she wears a red buttoned down waistcoat with two long tails from at the front and back with a white undershirt under it and a white laced cravat with a brooch on it. She wears brown dress pants and dark red boots that reaches up to her knees.

Personality
Coming from an aristocratic house, she is very lady-like and polite to others regardless of their social status, although others may not return that favor. She doesn't like it when people are being extremely uncouth, like talking crude, slurring their speeches, or have poor-mannered speaking skills ("Have some basic decency when interacting with people!" she thinks). She isn't above being condescending and snobby towards people that she doesn't like (people being rude towards her) or just to mess with people. She keeps a calm, and emotionless presence for the most part even in tense situations which made her the ideal person to mediate in group conflicts. She does a fake smile for the public and only it's when she's with her group, she can be seen smiling for real (and with Roland). For the most part it might come across her being cold, detached, and snobby from people. She is close towards her teammates and acted as "the mother hen" of the group, looking out for their well-being and retaliate to anybody who do her teammates wrong. She does her trademark ear-twist pull to get her teammates and anybody else to get in line when they're acting up. Regardless, she has lot of pent up anger from dealing with people bullying her, and pressure from her household, the only place release her stress is through combat training. It's why she enjoy training and even goes to the training gym alone at times (that's how she and Roelof met). She's kind of wary of boys hitting on her due to fact that her parents keep setting her up with many suitors.

She is not ignorant of actions of her family's history that had earned  the scorn from many people in Vacuo and hope that her huntress occupation is a step forward to redeem her family's legacy. Despite being disgusted of her family's actions, she's still prides herself of being part of it, she grudgingly admitted they did played a role in building Vacuo even it was for selfish reasons but it was her ancestors, not her, that committed those atrocious, and she will do what she can to clean her family name. She embraced the Blood Semblance, despite being taboo, seeing it merely as a tool to fight the Grimm. Aside from combat training, she really enjoys playing her cello and often times played it privately in a secluded place. She tried her best to keep a low-profile regarding her family background as she wanted to be judge for who she is, not her last name, which is another reason why she wanted to go Beacon in hopes that not many "common" people would know who she is. Despite keeping a low profile, she refused to use a different last name believing it would be an insult to the family. She won't make efforts to make her known but she won't denied who she is, if one were to found out about her, she'll admit it and just replied with "Just deal with it."

Background
She's the first born with 2 younger sisters  and next in line to be the matriarch the aristocratic Crimson House from the Kingdom of Vacuo and the direct descendent of the infamous self-proclaimed Crimson King, her family for generations is known for their infamous family semblance, Blood Semblance. The family made their fortune from banking, trading, investments and had a decent holding in government and the military. The Crimsons were brutal and sometimes borderline sadistic in the military as there's a saying in Vacuo "The Crimsons are half the reason why the desert is so red." It resulted the family to be respected and feared among social circles, and any alliance with them is more of a family willing to serve under the Crimson (The family did not last for 300 years without spilling blood). There are hidden distaste for the family, they wouldn't outright oppose them, fearing their power. Among the common people, the reaction are mixed, most called them monsters, blood-sucking vampires for their use of Blood Semblance, while the family did have a part to in building Vacuo.

She's able to live the high life, learning to become a socialite, and her family history. She will not learn about the full history until she's reach the age of 16. For a long time, she looked up to her family's accomplishments of their business ventures, military feats, and political activity and while being in the dark about her family's more controversial side, thus seeing as noble people who help build Vauco for generations. She was surprised while some of her family were military leaders and politicians, none of them were huntsmen or huntresses since the Great War and she decided to become the first Crimson to be a Huntress, thus continuing "the family tradition to help the people". That decision meet with her parents' resistance saying that she should just focus on running the family. It came to a complete shock to her when students in her private school bullied her for being a Crimson, heard that so many people hated The Crimson family, calling her and her family as blood-thirsty monsters, despite her attempts to make peace. She was forced to eat alone, get pushed around and attacked. It also helped her to activate her semblance when she was 9 years old as one attack caused her a nosebleed and spitting blood, the attacks continued as she tried to wipe the blood away and when the coup de grace was about to happen, she instantly threw her bloodied hand in front of them to defend herself, the blood that flew off her hand harden into shrapnel and injured many of her attackers. Those unscathed ran away in complete terror after seeing her semblance and she was just a terrified of her abilities as well. After the incident, her family decided to reveal to the whole family history and the family's semblance and started her training to truly be part of the family.

While she was undergoing a brutal training in blood semblance, she learned the real history of the Crimson family piece by piece when she was 16 and the truth turned her perception about her family upside down. The methods of how her ancestors acquire wealth and power was through aggressive expansion that sometimes involves to taking over a family, have them fall from grace or having them dying in an "accident". She was dismayed of the brutality that her past family were so infamously brutal in war. They claim that it was all justified as a mean to build and protect Vacuo and ensure the that the Crimson Family will have a solid place to stay for generations to come and every children have run it. It's why they didn't want her to be a Huntress, she has to work within the family and continue to build Vacuo. Discovering the real history only made her more determined to be a huntress, seeing as it the first time that a Crimson will actually help the people. She felt the need to do this as way to make up for the atrocities her family and the Crimson King had committed. Lizbeth angrily said what her family did was not a mean to help Vacuo, it was all a stepping stone of their selfish ploy to gain even more power for themselves within the government, the  military and the private industry and accused them that the reason that they avoided joining the huntsmen because there's little to gain from them as they are hard to influence due to their independence, and they give so much and asked little for return. Lizbeth firmly kept her decision to be a huntress as the first step to redeem her family's bloody legacy. So her family made a deal with Lizbeth, she will become a Huntress but in return, she will be groomed to be the next Matriarch of the family. She decided to go to Beacon just to get some distance from her family and used this opportunity to find herself.

Weapons and Abilities
She wields a thin sabre named The Bathory that can be used with one or two hands capable of both slashing and piercing at high speed. She had a dagger with the blade attached under the hilt. She has a repeating wheel-lock pistol with a blade attach under the barrel which she can use for a knife named The Bloody Mary.

She uses her speed and dexterity in to gain in battle. Her sword fighting style is a mix between the fighting style of a sabre and rapier since her sword is thin enough to be use as rapier. She is able to use both a sword and gun at the same time but her pistol is mainly used as a distraction and to parry her opponents. Lizbeth can dual-wield her sword and dagger with ease. She has great precision to break through the defense for her multiple high speed piercing attacks. Her fighting style is use to make up for her lack of strength as she is not a heavy hitter.

She is not that good using dust, as she just relies on her sword skills and speed and she take in high amount of damage (training in Blood Semblance teaches her to accept the pain)

Her Semblance is simply called The Old Blood, using her own blood via cutting her palm, she can extend the blade of her saber for reach that can shoot harden blood slashes or shoot blood shards with the  thrust of her sword or do a forward blood wave attack. She can throw blood shards at her opponents. The blood during this time is hotter, and if it makes contact on other people's skin it will give them discomfort. If she wants to for extra power, she can stab herself in stomach for more blood to increase her attacks. The drawback is the more she uses The Old Blood, the more likely she'll succumb to her bloodlust, she'll be using more blood-based attacks, it drains her aura overtime as she continues to use it. As she uses her semblance, a red mist will surround her and her eyes will be brighter. Her attitude will become more sadistic, laughing and smiling menacingly, like she tapped in to her heritage.

Despite that, she wants to be with him and she enjoys her time with him when they just sit together and read a book with their arms cross together.

The Crimson House
"Remember, money is NOT power"

The House of Crimson is an Aristocracy based in the Kingdom of Vauco, but they do have outlets in other Kingdoms. The family are Old Money, meaning the family were wealthy for multiple generations even beyond The Great War for roughly 300 years. They made their forturne through trading, banking, and investments, the family have their influence in the military and government as well. The Crimsons were very brutal during wartime, especailly during the Great War, and lesser extent the Faunus Rights Revolution that involve impalements, mass executions, flaying, torture and the extreme use of their blood semblance. Their methods to hold and gain power for such a long time involves with gaining power by taking over family, or eliminate the competition that could straight up putting a family house into extinction. They used their influence and money to help build cities, different business ventures, and other charitable donations all around Remnant. People in the social circles, family houses or big companies, have a grudging respect for them and know better not to cross paths against them as the Crimsons have the power to take them down or at least put them in a difficult place i.e have a business lose a massive amount of money for awhile. They are infamously known for their Blood Semblance as it was passed down from generations.

The family has regularly use robot servants along with human/faunus servants as well. She has a robot butler name Marrón Lopez that can also fight but most of the time, he speaks Spanish after his voice box was damaged defending young Lizbeth from a Grimm attack, and somehow made him make sarcastic insults towards family, all except Liz. Her family doesn't understand but they don't care as long as he perform his duties but Lizbeth secretly understands him perfectly
