Ravelyn Rouge

"No one is a completely open book. Everyone has a secret, some being much darker than others. Mine... is one of the darkest."

- Ravelyn Rouge

"I only seek the truth."

- Ravelyn Rouge, as Yatagarasu

Ravelyn Rouge is the fourth member of Team EMIR (Ember); the partner of Islingr Fiarie. Unlike many in the RWBYVerse, she doesn't carry a single transforming weapon. She is alluded to the Yatagarasu from Japanese mythology, and Kay Faraday from the Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth game series.

Appearance
Ravelyn has long, black hair, part of it bundled up almost like a ponytail with a braid, and bangs covering her forehead. Her skin is slightly pale, and she has a scar across her nose, a bit below her moody, dark brown eyes. She's of average height, being about 5'9".

When out of her Haven Academy uniform, Ravelyn wears a black shirt under a button-up white jacket, which she keeps unbuttoned at the top. Around her neck she wears an inner necklace with a bat charm on it. She also wears black pants, and dark brown sandals. Her katanas are kept in sheaths on a sword belt around her waist, while her quiver and bow are slung over her left shoulder.

Personality
Ravelyn tends to be pretty moody; some might even go as far as to say she's bi-polar, though she's not actually diagnosed as bi-polar.

To Ravelyn, the truth is worth more than anything in the world. She'd do anything, even become a thief (which she has), in order to bring truths to light.

Relationships

 * Ravelyn tends to be annoyed by Metagh, wishing her teammate wouldn't call her by nicknames all the time. Often, their interactions result in Ravelyn either marching off or completely ignoring her talkative teammate. Ravelyn can tell that because of this, Metagh tends to tip-toe around her. She also worries that, one day, Metagh won't take no for an answer, and be the first to find out Ravelyn's darkest secret.
 * Islingr, to Ravelyn, is someone she can depend on to always be there. They're good friends, though Ravelyn doesn't talk much. She's been wondering whether or not to tell her partner her past and secret identity, if only Islingr would tell why she's often very distracted.

Weapon
Ravelyn's main weapon is an ebony bow, slung over her left shoulder along with a quiver of arrows. Unnamed as of yet.

In addition to the bow, Ravelyn carries a pair of katanas around her waist. Just like a real pair of katanas, one is shorter than the other. They are unnamed as of the moment.

Semblance
Ravelyn's Semblance is called Lights Out. By sending out an electromagnetic pulse around her, she effectively disables anything that uses electricity in the room. The pulse itself is stopped whenever it hits an electronic object, or something metal, which would re-direct the pulse because metal is a good conductor of electricity.

Abilities
Ravelyn is very proficient at stealth, an expert in moving without being seen or heard, thanks to her years on the run. She prefers it when it comes to fighting, often using her stealth skills to move around the edges of the battlefield so she can find new vantage points for shooting, liking to strike from different directions so as to confuse enemies.

She also has enhanced speed, for the same reason as stated before. Though she could never beat those with a Semblance like Ruby's.

Trivia

 * I originally wanted to name her Raven, but as there's already a canon character named that (Raven Branwen), I settled for a twist of it instead, which I actually like better.
 * Ravelyn Rouge is based off both the Yatagarasu from Japanese mythology, and the Yatagarasu heir from the Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth game series, which is Kay Faraday.
 * This is apparent in her backstory, which is similar to Kay's, as well as her symbol, which represents both the Yatagarasu from Japanese mythology and the Yatagarasu's symbol in the game.
