Fenhong Se Suzhen, nicknamed Fen, is the young heiress to the Suzhen Corporation, which specializes in entrepreneurship. She has a vibrant personality and is highly intelligent. She appears very outgoing and sociable, but is described as having a vaguely unsettling quality. She alludes to the Chinese folk tale Legend of the White Snake.

Appearance
Fen is a young female adult with a youthful appearance. She has light pink eyes and dark brown hair that is dyed blonde and tied into a low ponytail, but her eyebrows are still dark. She has a small beauty mark near the left corner of her mouth.

She almost always wears a white beanie with her symbol in pink on the forefront, and white gloves with black fingertips. She wears black short shorts with pink trimming and white cycling shorts underneath with golden zippers on the sides, and ties her white leather jacket with pink accents around her waist. Fen wears a black t-shirt with a thin open dark pink collared jacket that is half-zipped up over it. This jacket has elbow-length sleeves and a wide hood that is white on the inside.

Personality
Fen is naturally very sociable and upbeat, and has no qualms about approaching and befriending strangers. Part of this abiity comes from having been trained by her parents to be comfortable in the spotlight. Fen generally likes to relax and do things slowly, which contrasts greatly with her best friend Platinum Roads. She is, however, particularly good at keeping a straight face when she tells a lie, which she often uses for her own entertainment. Overall Fen is humorous and lighthearted, but can sometimes be difficult to take seriously because of her penchant for tricking people.

On the rare occasion that Fen is actually serious about something, she can be very good at pulling off a charismatic and professional yet motivated demeanor.

History
Fen was raised as the only child in a large family with many good “connections” and a considerable amount of influence on the public, but she was taught to be kind to everyone and help others. Her parents were extremely busy co-managing their corporation, and always came home very late at night. Fen was privately tutored until the age of eight, when she attended a private school and met her best friends: Platinum, Rosso, and Respersio. She inherited a natural affinity for weaponry from her esteemed lineage, and also learned to play the piano and violin. She especially enjoyed hanging out with the stoic-looking Platinum, and succeeded in forming a strong bond with the silver-haired girl.

When they were 15, Fen was the only person with which Rosso confided his hopelessness when his parents divorced and began fighting a legal battle of custody against each other. She knew that he actually had planned to kill himself before he was shot dead, but she refused to tell her heartbroken friends this knowledge because she wanted to protect them from having to endure even more pain. However, after a while she could no longer take the agony of knowing, and she fled into the forest without telling anyone, and planned to hang herself from a tree. She tied up the noose and stood there with the tears streaming down her face, hesitating for what she thought to be the last time but hoping that this action would protect the truth from ever escaping and hurting anyone else. However, a strange man dropped down beside her without her having heard anything, and advised her against moving forward with suicide. The man, Torrent, mysteriously knew a good amount about her, and offered to teach her Grimm Chance, which would give her strength to live by giving her the willpower of the Grimm themselves. Fen agreed, desperately grasping onto this sudden spark of hope, and became proficient in the Nevermore style of Grimm Chance. Fen thanked her strange teacher for helping her, and the two said their farewells, although she referred her two friends from C4T3R to Torrent, in hopes that he could also help them.

She realized her mental weakness after this ordeal, and figured that being a Huntress wasn't meant for her. Instead, she enrolled in a business school in preparation to take over the company when her parents died. However, Fen was convinced by her parents to undergo two years of Huntress training when she heard about how high-profile business people had been coming under attack from criminal organizations in recent years. Her grades were excellent and she was accepted into the prestigious Beacon Academy.

Weapon
Her weapon is an Eastern-styled Dust-Reinforced Collapsible Halberd named Owl's Wingbeat, which can be folded into the size of a dirk. By pressing a certain combination on the buttons on the handle the blade can spin extremely rapidly, like a drill. Numerous Dust crystals are embedded within the staff, which can be activated to enhance each of Fen's strikes. She keeps it in a large pouch on the inside of her jacket.

Abilities
Fen's semblance is Scaling, which allows her to cling to and clamber up walls and similar vertical surfaces using her arms and legs. If she builds a fast enough start, she can also run up walls. This is derived from the fact that snakes are excellent tree climbers.

This ability can also be used to pick up items without actually physically closing around them, since it "sticks" to her. Fen uses this when she has to carry a lot of stuff at once and is too lazy to make multiple trips, but otherwise this aspect of her semblance seems to lack an in-battle application.

Trivia

 * The name of Fen's weapon, Owl's Wingbeat, sounds like something vaguely romantic, but it is ironic because the wingbeat of an owl is completely silent in order to swoop down on their prey.
 * Fen doesn't mind having an exotic name, but it does irritate her that practically nobody can pronounce it correctly, which is why she shortened it to just "Fen".
 * She actually has a habit of slurring her words when she gets really excited.
 * "Fěnhóng sè" (粉紅色) means pink in Mandarin Chinese.
 * Fen is one-quarter Snake Faunus, so her pupils are visibly thinner than those of a human's. That and her tendency to be grinning even when nothing is happening are the only indications of her mixed heritage.
