Shamry Auburn

Shamry Steel, née Auburn is the mother of Carmine Steel, Cerise Steel and Carnelian Steel and is a recurring character in CVRN

Appearance
Shamry is a short woman with long auburn hair and yellow eyes. She is a cat-like Faunus and as such, her Faunus features are a pair of red cat ears, cat-like eyes and sharp cat claws on every finger on each hand.

She wears a long, dark green dress with floral patterns and a thin belt around her waist. She wears a brown tunic over her dress, a silver wedding ring on her finger and a brown satchel where she carries her medicine.

Personality
Shamry is very polite, nurturing and shows a lot of compassion, though she has very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea she believes in. She is decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain. She is an egalitarian and believes in karma. She believes that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants, if that doesn't work she will not hesitate to use force to achieve that peace.

Shamry finds it easy to make connections with others, and has a talent for warm, sensitive language, speaking in human terms while reasoning with logic and fact. Shamry takes great care of other’s feelings, and she expects the favor to be returned – sometimes that means giving her the space she needs for a few days. But as a mom she is very disciplined and scolds them when they misbehave, she is often seen as the serious parent. She does know when to joke and have fun however.

Shamry doesn't always forget to take care of herself, but when she does, the passion of her conviction is perfectly capable of carrying her past her breaking point and if her zeal gets out of hand, she can find herself exhausted, unhealthy and stressed. This becomes especially apparent when she finds herself up against conflict and criticism – her sensitivity forces her to do everything they can to fight back irrationally.

To Shamry, the world is a place full of inequity – but it doesn’t have to be. She always finds a way to help the world, by helping the individuals living in it, and she believe that one person, no matter how small, can change the world.

Background
Shamry was born to and Apple Auburn, who were part of a group of travelling nomads in Vale that originated from Vacuo. She grew up to be the group's healer. She was the youngest of two sisters and a brother. She met a Huntsman who was dedicated to protecting the group from Grimm and bandits, and even though they had highly contrasting personalities, she eventually fell in love with him an married him. Eventually she had three children. Three years after her son was born, the group had become so large that they needed a place to settle down, and so they made a village in a large abandoned fortress in the mountains of Vale, away from the prying eyes of the world. Years in the village were spent defending against Grimm attacks and training to fight Grimm, but it was easier than life on the road. Shamry would often tend to the wounded with help from her daughter and occasionally, her sons.

However, one day, the village was overrun by Grimm and the survivors of the attack had to relocate to the coastal cities south of the city of Vale where a lot of them split up. A few members of the village decided to move to the city of Vale. Her brother, who split off from the village years ago, was also staying in Vale, and even owned a bookshop there. Her family made several visits to Vale, and her went there more often than not. While visiting Vale, her children heard stories about Beacon Academy, the training that went on there, and the Huntsman that graduated from there. Cerise was enrolled into Signal Academy to prepare her to join Beacon Academy while Carmine took the entrance exam and enrolled into Beacon Academy.

Rosso Steel

However, after spending more time together, Shamry learned how to relax while Rosso learned to take on more responsibility and they realized they had feelings for one another and fell in love. Rosso proposed to her by leaving her a note with a set of directions and when she reached the destination, a light display using dust, which he engineered himself, was supposed to say "Will you marry me Shamry?" instead said "Will you shamy me Sharrry?" Nonetheless, she accepted his proposal and had their wedding in church within a town somewhere near where the group had stopped.
