Ebony Erion

Ebony Erion is a first year student at Beacon Academy.

Appearance
Ebony has midnight black hair that is held in two long braids. Around her braids are bright ivory colored ribbons that stand out easily. Her eyes are almond shaped and a soft brown, and her skin is very fair, almost pale. Her outfit consists of a medium-thick aviator's jacket that is a light ivory in color and has a hood on the back. The outsides of the jacket are covered in thin wool. Ebony prefers to keep the jacket open. Underneath she wears a black, ripped shirt that has a skull and crossbones on it. Over her neck she has a dark brown scarf that hangs down her chest every so often. Her pants are a very dark brown and go to her ankles. They have several pockets on the sides. Over her waist she has a belt where she keeps miscellaneous items such as her compass and her gum. Ebony has low-heeled boots that go to her knees. They are an ivory color with black laces. She also complements her outfit with a pair of aviator goggles that are tan in complexion and brown rimmed. She usually wears them on her head or over her eyes, depending on if she's flying or not. Ebony also has a black backpack.

Personality
Ebony is a person that always seems to be misunderstood by others. Her 'goth' look often scares away friends and potential allies, but that doesn't mean she's a bad person. In fact, Ebony is a rather kind and easy-going soul that doesn't really care about what others think about her. She is a laid-back sort of gal, and is very easy to talk to. She can strike a conversation with almost no trouble and always seem relaxed or chilled out. Ebony is rather friendly to people, especially her teammates, and she has no issues with who they are or what they do as long a they have good reasons.

She tries not to get into arguments or be belligerent, but if the situation calls for it, she will defend herself or her friends. She is also very sarcastic and has a sense of dry humor, but this sometimes leads to her making unnecessary comments. When in battle, Ebony will try to act calm and natural, not wanting to upset her comrades or the Grimm.

Weapon: Ebony's weapon is a pair of mechanical wings that can shoot bullets of dust.

The wings are made of a light metal. When stretched out all the way, they reach from her left hand to her right. The wings can fold up and attach back to her backpack which she keeps with her at all times. When Ebony presses a button on her backpack, the wings immediately unfold and she grabs the two handles to spread them out all the way. What makes the wings special, however, is the dust mechanism. Where the cylinder shaped handles are, there are two buttons (one on each side) that are connected to several tubes attached to the wings. The tubes contain small pellets of dust (mainly fire and air) that can be launched on her command. Ebony refills these tubes by unhooking them off the wings and putting more dust in. In battle, Ebony will usually launch the fire ones and then strength the attack by then unleashing the air dust. However, the wings have their weaknesses too. They are rather weak in durability, and can be torn/damaged if an Ursa manages to get a good on it. Also, Ebony can easily lose the wings if her backpack is ripped away from her. They are also not easy weapons to refill, as it takes time for her to take the whole set off and then fill each of the dust tubes.

History: Ebony was a military girl from birth. Her family consists of her father, Tyrian Erion, her mother, Amber Erion, and her older brother, Roan Erion. The four of them lived in small town in Vacuo. Ebony's father currently serves as a respected soldier at a military base. Ebony grew up living a life that other girls her age would not envy. She was pushed by her father to become a hardcore soldier, but Ebony knew in her heart that being in the Army was not her calling. Her brother, however, always seemed to make her father more proud. He came home with honors and good grades while Ebony nearly flunked Algebra and Science. When she was thirteen years old, she found a passion in Aviation, and begged her father to learn how to fly. He relented, and the young girl soon became a fast-flying plane racer. Because of her aviation skills, Ebony soon learned to relax and let herself calm down over small things. She didn't become a hardcore, action-packed girl, and that was okay. At age fifteen, she learned about Beacon Academy from a visiting general. Delving deeper into the occupation of becoming a hero/heroine of Remnant, Ebony thought that she could take her skills in piloting and aviation into the job of becoming a Huntress. After convincing her parents to let her enroll in a nearby training academy, she created 'Cloud-Walkers.' At age seventeen, she then applied for Beacon and got accepted.
