Navajo Blackquill

"You can't plan your entire life out at once. Sometimes it's better to just go with the flow."

- Navajo Blackquill

Appearance
Navajo is an 18-year-old faunus girl. She has tan skin, brown eyes and black hair. She is a weasel faunus and her trait is the navajo brown weasel tail growing from her tailbone. She is on the smaller side in the chest department, barely being a C cup.

Navajo is usually dressed in brown pants, a black belt, a blue sleeveless shirt and a green sleeveless jacket. She also wears black ankle height shoes with a silver lion on the outside. Each of her arms is covered by a tatoo: a black weasel winding it's way up her right arm and a white weasel spiraling around her left arm. Her belt buckle is crafted into the shape of her emblem: a skull over a pair of crossed sickles.

Personality
Navajo is a weasel - both by species and personality. She gets in trouble a lot, but is almost always capable of weaseling out of it (it used to be always but Glynda Goodwitch managed to break the perfect streak). She is bubbly, even under pressure and is a serious airship and ship fangirl. She has a strong belief that justice should be the final goal of every nation. She is also a bit of a daredevil and will in battle annoy her opponents not only to make them sloppy but also because - in her words - their reactions are hilarious.

Navajo hates bullies with a passion and loves getting them in trouble. Now that she is in Beacon and on the same team as Shuiro Niavera well ... bullies beware!

Weapons and abilities
Navajo's weapons Ita and Achi are a pair of collapsible sickles with wind dust blade edges. This allows Navajo to fight both up close and from far away. When not in use, half of their blades slips inside the other half and the blade then tilts down. Their collapsed forms are then attached to Navajo's belt.

Semblance
Navajo's copy semblance allows her to make aura copies of anything she is touching at the time then telekinetically move them around as long as she still has enough Aura to do so. With her current Aura levels she could, for example make about 20 copies of her weapons while still having enough Aura to use the telekinetic half of her power. It is worth to note that it's harder for her to copy more complicated objects with multiple components, which is why her weapons are relatively simple compared to some others at Beacon.

Other skills
Thanks to her mother, Navajo is very well versed when it comes to sailing and ships in general. She is a talented mechanic and a ridiculously good cook. Thanks to her father, Navajo has a deep understanding of the law and different contracts but her mother's influence prompted her to look more into the different loopholes and how to exploit them.

Weaknesses
Navajo can sometimes be quite clumsy. She is also quite frail and any stronger opponent that manages to catch her is a huge problem. She can also sometimes get a bit distracted (both in battle and outside of it) and has an almost natural talent for pissing of the wrong person. Her semblance also can not make copies of highly complicated machines or humans seeing as she would have to copy every bit and part which would be too much for her Aura reserves.

Backstory
Navajo's story begins a few years before she was born. We find ourselves in court on the trial of Umi Arashi, a gecko faunus who was accused of thievery. Standing on the attorney stand is none other than one of the best and most succesful faunus attorneys: the lion faunus Kuromitsu Blackquill. The trial ends with the not-guilty verdict and Umi invites her attorney to a drink to celebrate her freedom. After a few drinks a few interesting things are revealed, like the fact that while Umi was innocent she does have thieving in her blood, being descended from the Arashi pirate family. Other than that, the two hit it off and Umi invites Kuromitsu over to her home, a village on a small island that used to be her family's hideout. He accepts, they stay in touch afterwards, one thing leads to another and soon enough they are married with a baby on the way. When Navajo was born she had a huge family, everyone in the village being either an aunt, uncle or cousin to the girl. She picked up on a lot of things from her extended family, including fixing machines, cooking and fighting using the kama (sickles).

When she was old enough Navajo was off to Sanctum Academy in Mistral to start her official combat school training. All throughout her years at Sanctum she had her eyes on Beacon academy next and, knowing that Beacon only accepted the best, trained herself into the ground.

The day finaly came and Navajo was off to Beacon. The day was going fine, she fangirled over some airships, she got catapulted into a forest - you know, standart stuff. Then a faunus meteor going by the name Ardent Sylvanas apparently decided to crash land right on top of her. She was understandibly pissed and decided to yell at the guy for a bit. The yelling was interrupted by a pack of beowolves attracted by her anger. She was just about to take them out, when her partner went berserk and pretty much decimated the whole pack. Being used to crazy stuff from her family Navajo just shrugged and dragged Ardent with her to look for the temple. They found it, grabbed the relic and were just about to leave when they saw a Graphorn chasing after two students, who had just enough time to grab a relic, tell Navajo and Ardent that they better start running and then run off again. What follows next is a formula that Navajo insists will always work:

1 angry grimm + 4 soon-to-be students + 1 set of old ruins = 1 awesome fight + 1 instant (almost) cohesive team

And just as predicted by the formula, headmaster Ozpin put the four: Shuiro Niavera, Ardent Sylvanas, Navajo Blackquill and Scarlet Shade on team NANS led by Shuiro Niavera.

They forged a fast friendship and proceeded to enjoy the rest of the year at Beacon, hardly waiting for the next one. Oh if only they knew. So second year started without a hitch (if you discount a firstie exploding (without Shuiro's help this time)) and the team felt safe until the Vytal festival started. Team NANS was sent on a long term mission, clearing some of the Grimm from Vale's wilderness. But while there, they received an emergency alert: Beacon was under siege. They rushed back as fast as they could, but by the time they came back it was too late. The school was in ruins, and Grimm were every where. After assisting with the cleanup, team NANS was disbanded for the time being, and the members returned home.

Trivia

 * All members of team NANS were inspired by anime and animated movie characters. Navajo's inspiration comes from the anime Naruto, more specificaly the weasel summon Kamatari (both are weasels who use kama sickles and the inspiration for Navajo's pirate background came, believe it or not, just from Kamatari's eyepatch).
 * Navajo's weapons were named after the japanese word for weasel: Itachi.
 * Navajo's mother's name Umi Arashi means sea storm, playing into her sea connected background, while her father's name Kuromitsu means black mane because he is a lion faunus with a black mane.
 * Navajo is a shade of brown.
