Zaffre Perrault/Year 2

""Why should I fear the Faunus' ability to kill when Humans and the Grimm can do the same?""

- Zaffre on the subject of White Fang

Year 2
The start of the second year would prove to be useless on placing Zaffre on a team as well. Melira "Goldstein" requested the use of the Weapon Smith and the student with her at the time to help her escort a Dust statue to a far away region. Joining her would be another student that would become her closest friend. After the first test, they docked at a nearby town filled with Faunus. The ight of the people made her recall the events of her past and make silent remarks about her backstory, some hints Melira took into account to try and edge the girl into revealing herself. Eventually an attack by White Fang forced their hands and they had to fight. Zaffre was happy to know they won but was naive to think no one had died in the ensuing battle, beleiving her teammates didn't do anything wrong and left on neutral terms with the town.

A child snuck on board and Zaffre played with her and Saffron, the child Melira broguht with her. Melira remarked about needing to dock for supplies and suggested Charlestown, despite it being the same town that the Governess Perrault resided, she beleived the town best to restock as it was close and easy to get to. Once arriving, Zaffre talked about the town and reunited with her old friend Calco Tildrum. The meeting, and when Black's twin Clay was revealed to be syping on them, causes Zaffre to relapse and her body to succumb to the injuries she sustained during the last fight to help develop a fever. With Urdin's help she was able to get hte necessary medicine in her body and taken to the hotel. The next day however, once she had recovered, Melira asked Zaffre to reveal the truth as Calco called the girl by her real name instead of her alias. She revealed to her temporary team the past she had to endure, but only the basic information, afraid to bring up any memories that would cause another relapse.

This earned her Melira's trust and the woman commissioned for the girl to create a weapon for her adoptive daughter Saffron. After creating the baisc design, she was ready to show Melira until it was learned the statue was stolen. Zaffre and Black gave haste and met up with Calco along the way. They followed the White Fang members to a warehouse and a battle for the statue errupted. Zaffre and the others managed to recover the statue, but the girl took too many injures including a massive concussion to her head. Seeing Melira Caclo revealed his true objetive; capturing the Dust Staute as a Captain for a small devision of White Fang. The shock of the new ifnromation, and of her injuries forces Zaffre unconscious and her being kindapped by her friend.

Zaffre awoke in a hospital that is used by White Fang and Calco reveals his connection to White Fang, and Zaffre reveals that she and her parents were once part of it when she was living with them, when White Fang was peaceful. But she never took part in the protests on the front lines. Once Calco left, Zaffre began trying to escape, completely unaware the others were searching for her and the dust statue. Zaffre used a basic bobby pin she had in her coat to unlock the door given it was a rather poor hospital and could only use mundane and not electrical things. Knocking the two guards out she threw then inside the room, locked the door and began making her way outside till she came face to face with Melira's acquaintance, Aki Tokuhana.

He helped locate her weapons unintentionally and went with her and Black back tothe airship. Once she reutnred she learned about Melira placing a time limit on the group. This sparked the girl to stand up for her beliefs.
