Inari Tsukiakari

Inari is an original character based on the world of RWBY and is created by RWBY Ruby Rose. She is a member of Team V.O.I.D.

Appearance
For her appearance, Inari has medium length hair that goes down to her waist. Her hair is indigo while her eyes are a light blue. They could also become a shining silver at night. She doesn't know why this happens but it could be a family secret that is special to the Tsukiakari Clan. She prefers to wear contacts over glasses.

She is a teenager that keeps herself in good shape while forming some arm muscle. Otherwise, her body is normal for a young lady with height and weight.

As for her clothing, she can be seen in at least two different outfits. (I will post the final drafts up later on). The outfit that she wears the most often is semi casual. Most of her clothing is based on the Japanese culture mixed with American culture.

Her primary outfit is a non sleeve kimono top with her emblem on the back over a one sleeved shirt. She also wears arm sleeves that go from above her elbow to her wrist. Most of the time they are plain with little or no design. She wears cross belts  for her tan cargo capris along with her black shoes with gray soles on the bottom. She only wears a star like pendent around her neck and star earrings jewelry-wise.

Her other outfit consists of a japanese inspired short sleeve kimono top covered by a light blue half top shawl that has the family emblem. She also wears a inch above knee pleat skirt and boots with her black or white  fingerless gloves. For the accessories, she wears the emblem flower barette and her pendent under her shawl.

The pictures shown will show the colors of the clothes. There will also be other outfits (like pajamas) when I get the chance to upload them.

Personality
For people that don't know Inari well enough, they would describe her as elusive, genuine and smart. Unlike other wealthy people, people see that Inari is a kind soul that tries to find out more about herself by trying to find out about the world's deepest secrets. Secrets like the history behind Grimm and behind her famous clan. She has her limits but as long as you dont do anything bad to her or anything that she cares about, she'll leave you alone. Although she now hold grudges against people since the day her parents disappeared. Even though she doesn't say that much to people when they meet her, she still manages to create new relationships with them in the end.

Once you get to know her and how she truely is, she will become a close friend and an invaluble teammate. Inari is a loyal, strong willed and empathetic friend and will be there for them if they need her. Inari will stand up for anyone she considers a friend. Even to protect them in the midst of a fight. She can even show her true self, the personality that she hides. Her happy, cheerful self. As for being her friend, it isn't easy since she is afraid that they'll disappear like her parents and her brother. It may take a while to understand her and gain her trust, but it will be worth it to see her true self blossom.

Biography/ History
Inari Tsukiakari was born into the Tsukiakari Clan. A famous and wealthy clan known for mastery over dust and producing it alongside the Schnee Dust Company. She lived in the life of luxury in the Tsukiakari mansion with her older brother, Leonardo Tsukiakari. While her brother mastered sword fighting, she mastered karate and dust when she was only 7 years old. As one of the professors  observed Inari's mastery, he believed that she would be a great huntress when she became of age. Her mother and father always taught her new tricks to her abilities. It was a perfect life with no problems. However, these prosperous times did not last.

Then one night, The Tsukiakari Clan was attacked by fedora wearing henchmen. They wanted Inari for being the heir to the large fortune and for her mastery over dust. Before they could find them, her grandmother came in and helped Leonardo and Inari escape their home before they could be caught. She grabbed what she could before she escaped with her brother in their cloaks. As they ran into the Snowy Forest, she looked back in horror as she saw most of the Tsukiakari Mansion destroyed. She cried as she assumed that her parents and grandmother died in the flames. As her brother tried to comfort her, her grandmother appeared in the forest, wounded. Inari and Leo were happy that she made it out alive as they hugged her. She then asked her if their parents were alright. She sighed as she looked to them. Her grandmother said that she didnt know since she didnt witness the outcome of their fight. Inari was very depressed, but she vowed that she would someday find out about what happened to them and reunite with them if they were alive.

Her vow came to reality as she saw her grandmother talking to one of the henchmen two years later. Inari was almost caught until her grandmother stepped in and made them retreat. Although, they told her that they would keep coming back until they have Inari in their grasp. After they left, her grandmother told her that her parents could be alive. Now that Inari knew that there was a chance that they could be found, she was going to work hard to one day find them and rekindle their famous clan.

While she lived with her grandmother, she decided to attend Signal when she was 12 years old. She had attended Signal Academy to become a better fighter and to start her training of becoming a huntress. When Inari came home one night, she heard that Leo disappeared when she needed his help. From that day on, she knew that she couldnt trust anyone as she hid her true self from the world. She also learned that she would need to watch her back incase his henchmen returned.Since then, Inari has only trusted her grandmother, her mentor and to a special few...

After she graduated form Signal when she was 15, she became an apprentice to a teacher at Beacon according to her father's request (before he was taken). When her apprenticeship finished when she became 18, she gained an invitation to finally join Beacon in the fall. She lives alone remotely outside of Signal Academy in a flat roof house only richer people would have as she trains for her first year at Beacon.

While she was searching for her brother at one point, she met and became close friends with Viola Lindynn, Oran Cambridge and Damara Polzin. After they scattered a couple years back, they reunited for their first year at Beacon as they get ready for what Beacon Academy has in store for them.

In Combat


Since Inari was trained by her parents and in Signal Academy, she has been trained to fight in multiple situations.

She usually fights close to mid range in battle while she protects her allies with her advanced dust abilities(with offense and defense). Since she was young, she has been an expert at controlling it. She can control it in two different ways.

While she attended Signal Academy, she created her primary weapon, Indigo StormCrest. This is the first option for using dust.

They're Dual Hightech Dust Swords (DHDS). One named Indigo Storm, the other, Indigo Crest. When they are supplied with powdered or uncut DUST, the dust blades can send a wave of that energy to the opponent and can manipulate dust depending on the kind of crystal. These dust edged swords can change into a set of arm rifles. They  can power on regular bullets or dust enhanced bullets. However, they have special packs that are used. Those hold 150 bullets in total (75 of regular and 75 dust enhanced.) She can use both forms to their full potential in battle.

The other option is to uses her dust gauntlets that were given to her by her grandmother (though she only uses them if she gets disarmed and runs out of ammo). With these she can manipulate dust for offensive and defensive reasons.

Even when she has great speed and skill, she doesn't have as much stamina without the help of dust energy. Without it, she would tire quickly and resort to hand to hand combat. She is strong enough to at least hold her own until her teammates arrive.

As for her Aura, she is surrounded by light blue Aura as it can heal minor wounds at the moment she activates it. Her other powers with Aura are unknown since it was recently unlocked.

Her biggest weakness would be relying on dust too much. Without using dust, she is average in speed and has a shorter amount of stamina. However, her attacks can still be proficient.

In every mission, she has only a limited amount of DUST and a backup ammo pack (magazine) with her so she would only use them if it was extremely necessary. While she is in combat with others, she can assist her allies with creating strategies to give her team an advantage on the enemy.
