Tempera Tanegashima

Tempera Tanegashima is the younger sister of the second year Beacon student, Akiba Tanegashima. She is also enrolled in Beacon Academy as a first-year student and is the leader of her own team, Team TMPR.

Appearance
Tempera is a young and slim teen with quite the muscular legs and long red-blue gradient hair. She ties a bit of her hair to make two pig-tails which are held together by a ribbon. Her eyes are a heterochromia of blue and red on the left and right eye respectively.

She wears a modified miko outfit with detached long detached sleeves, and a skirt with slits on the left and right sides held together by a ribbon. She wears greaves that covers her entire lower legs and feet.

Sewed onto her left sleeve is a armlet with the words "IDOL" in black sewed on it.

Personality
Tempera, like her name suggests, is very calm and cool-headed who gives off an air of sophistication who is always conscious of keeping up her social image. Due to being the leader of her team and the idol group, she is also responsible of her teammates' conditions and well-beings.

She is mostly seen with a confident expression. She smiles most of the time, is humble, kind, and always tries to act according to her status. However inside she's quite insecure of her position, usually doubting herself and silently hoping that her next course of action is satisfactory. Due to her status as well as keeping up her image and performing the responsibilities of being the manager of the idol group and the leader of a team of huntresses, she is also lacking of any friends outside of her previous ones, her family, and her teammates, as well as being restricted to doing anything that may ruin her image.

She is, however, very caring and will do her best to help others and can be somewhat naive at times. She can easily read and understand others' feelings and will try to act with it. She is the team's strong emotional support who never gives up on them no matter what, and this applies to anything as well. However as of late she has started feeling the pressure of her status and this coupled with her family's standing has begun to stress the girl out, but she seems to be able to handle it well.

Backstory
Tempera is born a year after her older brother, Akiba Tanegashima. She was the polar opposite of her brother- He was anti-social, she was always in the crowd. Due to this they weren't that close with each other.

However, this changed when her parents bore a new child, named Fuyuko. It was thanks to her new little sister that she and her brother found common ground. It was also thanks to Fuyuko that Tempera found an interest in singing, since she would sing her lullabies to sleep or to calm her down from crying.

When she and her whole family went for a vacation she, along with Fuyuko, were suddenly taken by their bodyguards to safety when they heard bullet fire coming from within the resort they were staying in.

She was crushed when she heard was told that her parents died during their vacation, and rushed to the hospital where her older brother was stationed in and would sing to him lullabies for good luck.

When her grandfather took her and her siblings in she gave herself the task of keeping watch over her siblings, as her older brother's mental condition was bad and her little sister was just learning about the world. She also turned into the emotional support of her older brother when he was going through rehabilitation, as well as taught her little sister things like how to talk, read and write.

When he was finally let out she was shocked to how much her brother changed. He was nothing more than a walking husk of his former self and no matter what she did she couldn't bring out even a small reaction out of him. When she tried to ask her grandfather on what to do, he simply answered that he "already has a plan".

She soon found out what the plan was, which was for someone become his first friend that wasn't them. When this supposed friend came they immediately weren't on good terms based on how her brother showed lack of attention, who was a girl around his age. This prompted the said girl to come to Tempera for any advice and this began their unlikely friendship.

When she was asked where to go to school next after her graduating she surprised everyone when she stated the name of the local combat school, which was also where her brother was having his second year in. The reason behind this was because she wants her voice to reach those even in the battlefield and give others support while also being able to fight for herself.

Upon arriving to her new school she found a musical club. However, she soon found out that it was a "Huntress Idol" club whose members are both singers and huntresses-in-training that train themselves to both sing and fight at the same time. Thinking it was fate that brought her to them she joined in and was given the title, "Idol of Temperance".

When her brother went off to Beacon she was now a local pop star along with her now teammates in their own team, Team TMPR. She and her team immediately transfered to Beacon Academy when they were given the opportunity by their headmistress.
