Roxanne Blanch

"Too bad you picked me… I wonder how many holes you’ll have in your body when I’m done~!"

- Roxanne Blanch

Personality

 * Roxy as she is nicknamed is a short-tempered woman who doesn’t take kindly to anyone at first. Combined with her cold exterior, Roxy is a rather harsh woman. As a prideful woman, she is stubborn and tough headed making her one hard teammate, despite her more talkative side.


 * If one warms up to Roxy and breaks through her shell, they’ll find a girl who loves to talk about anything technology wise: robotics, weaponry, engineering, etc. Furthermore, she admits that she wants to prove someone’s worth before becoming too friendly or it might lead to failure. Most come to realize that Roxy is very much a businesswoman: all work and no play.


 * Though she doesn’t fight anymore, she still loves to keep her weapon nearby at all times. She often admits that Stitcher was a failure, she still adores it as her first step towards her future. Secretly, she will not admit that it’s Tai who's always liked Stitcher’s design for it’s heavy firepower.

Attire

 * Given her muscular frame, Roxy hates most dresses and skirts. Notably due to her area of work, one will often see her sporting a pair of glasses that are rather light and expose her nearsightedness. Her torso is often covered by a white lacy blouse and over that a lab coat that possesses her symbol: a circle that contains three smaller circles referencing her gun. She often sports a pair of leather pants held up by a golden bangle belt. Her pants are a white color. Lastly, she hates heels in any form, instead she wears boots that adds about two inches to her overall height

Physical Details

 * Roxy’s average height might not reveal much, but her her muscular body tone shows. Her pale skin does reveal her lack of time in the sun. Her long bronze shaded hair is kept up a crown braided with the end of it sticking out onto to give a messy look to it. Given her job type, she doesn’t posses long fingernails nor paints them. Given her muscular appearance, she does posses some curves. Her cup size lies in the B cup size, while her hips and rear stick out. Due to her time carrying heavy weaponry, her thighs and calves are much thicker then her forearms or biceps.

Stitcher

 * A Dust-Power Gatling-Gun Lance (DPGGL) named Stitcher is Roxanne’s signature weapon. Despite it’s heavy weight, Roxanne isn’t entirely bothered by the the disadvantage of it’s size. At first glance, the whole gun is color platinum with a bronze trimming. Notably the lance is built directly around the gun itself allowing for the spear head to act as a drill. The gatling-gun is comprised of three barrels attached to a long cylinder that doesn’t consume typical bullets, but a canister loaded into it that fires projectiles made of lasers based on a singular dust.


 * The canisters glow when activated and give the center of Stitcher a hue to indicate the dust type (ex: orange hue means fire). The range of this weapon is hindered by the inaccuracy of the three barrels and the spinning of the barrel. However, the weapon is useful for range and allows Roxy to fire off a wave of shots.


 * Though the weight of the weapon and design isn’t entirely favored for close range, she still can engage with the lance while spinning the barrel and pierce into enemies while unloading shots into the target. This combination can breaking through heavy defenses over time. The reload time is a bit on the slower side, but it is due to the fact that the canisters must be loaded and cloaked in to be in tune with the barrels.

Aura

 * Despite her heavy influence in weaponry, Roxy is skilled in using aura mainly for defense. Given her lack of any martial arts training, she uses her aura to form a barrier for her to use as coverage. Lacking speed, made any mobility useless leaving her with the stationary aura abilities. She also uses it to enhance her focus by using her senses to pick up on where her opponent will be moving to.

Sentry

 * As a trained huntress, she managed to make use of the semblance she had been granted: Sentry. Sentry in concept focuses on her ability to focus her fire, by hardening her figure. Unlike most that increase speed or strength, Sentry locks her position and decreases the recoil effect on her body. This hinders her mobility greatly, but in turn, she is able to continue to deal out damage and enhancing her accuracy which is hindered by Stitcher’s design.

Strengths

 * Roxy’s strengths lie in her firepower and range. Combined with her defense from her aura and Sentry’s abilities, she becomes a pillar of fire power. Her greater strength also allows her to wielder her heavy Stitcher better then most would.

Weaknesses

 * Her short-temper combined with her lack of mobility makes her fairly open at close range. At range, waiting her out and making use of the reload time allows for one to get up close. Along with Stitcher having barely any cutting or slashing range makes it very limited in it’s close range attacks. Her aura and semblance also have limited time as they strain her stamina if done for extended periods. She is also limited in the amount of ammunition she can carry, which is roughly five: with one dust type each.

Bio

 * Roxanne’s life starts at a young age when her family went bankrupt and lost the company they once held. Roxanne hadn’t adjusted to a wealthy lifestyle, so when the family downsized, she was unaffected. It wasn’t until her father handed down books he once used in his researches.Once an inventor, now a simple security guard left the man empty. Roxanne read these books and began to venture off.


 * As she grew, she took whatever they had and began to mold her own technology. Despite most of it being junk, Roxanne managed to make replicas of advance technology. Her father was impressed and decided to help her, though he begun to have her help move some of the heavier equipment with him.


 * By eleven, she had learned to make basic guns and other weapons from scrapped weapons. Her father watched and decided to inform her that it’d be best to go the way of a Huntress to learn about all kinds of weapons and technologies they couldn’t get access to. Roxanne agreed and begun to train from books she could get from the library.


 * When she attended Signal, she encountered her first real friend aside her father, Blair Bane. At first Roxanne couldn’t stand the girl, but time moved on and the two helped one another. Blair was more of a wild card, but Roxanne in those four years had come to like it. However, every so often, Blair would tease her about boys, until they both went to Beacon.


 * During the Initiation, Roxanne had messed up her launch and by chance she was saved by dropping Stitch in midair to only land on her soon to be partner, Zhou Tai. Roxanne was not afraid, instead had him help her retrieve her weapon and shortly encountering her friend with Ryan, except with a Deathstalker. Roxanne wasn’t too experienced with such Grimm, but Ryan had stepped in and somehow they managed to defeat the Grimm.


 * After forming Team RBRT, Roxanne slowly built respect for Ryan, though at the same time, she often yelled at Tai who was blunt about matters that she didn’t like. His straightforward attitude slowly grew on her and in a couple occasions, he did save her. She never admitted it, but she did care for him and they started dating, however Roxanne hated Tai’s dress code and often argued about picking up a new look, though it never happened.


 * By graduation, she and Blair went on their paths, while Tai remained her boyfriend. Unlike Tai however, Roxanne has remained in contact with Ryan due to his new work requiring someone to find the right jobs. Though she doesn’t inform her friends, she does remain professional with her old leader and hides the the payments she’s received from him.
