Personality
When she was a kid, Rust was a very quiet and reserved person. But after she was almost killed by a Beowolf, she adopted a different personalty. She became extroverted and energetic. She enjoys doing things immediately and grows restless if she has to wait around doing nothing, this includes homework. Rust feels that adventure is literally calling her name, a need for something new drives her. She is always enjoying life to the fullest, but harbors a feeling of regret for the past.

While she steals the show in most situations, this leads her to gain an ego with the many skills she has. Her competitive nature often drives her to pick fights with people, which she normally wins. Rust also has a habit of taking unnecessary risks all in the name of adrenaline, which sometimes leads to her or her teammates getting hurt or in trouble. She has trouble learning from her negative experiences.

History
Rust was born on the continent of Menagerie to Alister and Margret Conslow. They were a reasonably wealthy family of hunters. Margret retired to raise Rust and her father remained active. Her childhood was fairly uneventful as she spent most of her time exploring the area around her house. She did not have any friends so she would pretend to be a huntress and fight monsters like her parents. When she was seven she joined her mother on a shopping trip. As they made their way to the store they noticed a group of White Fang protesters. Their timing could not have been worse as they arrived right when the protest turned violent. Margret did her best to protect Rust but in the process a rogue Faunus shot her. The gunshot made the protesters panic and the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving Rust crying over her mother. Alister heard about the incident and immediately quit his hunter job to raise his daughter and fix his broken heart. Rust's feelings of indifference towards Faunus quickly turned to anger and hatred as a result of her mothers death.

One day when she was 10 she accidentally wandered too far from her house and came across what looked like a farm. She didnt see anyone except for a young boy digging a hole. He looked about the same age as she did and he looked lonely so Rust decided to try and become friends with him. As she walked over to him, the boy noticed her and began to blush. She introduced herself to him and he to her, saying his name was Kenji Bruin. Not having held a normal conversation with another person since her mothers death, Rust found comfort in talking to Kenji and told him about her mother and her distrust of the Faunus. When she said this Kenji looked distraught, but he agreed that Faunus were bad.

Two years passed and the two of them became closer, the older they got the more handsome Kenji began to look to Rust. One day when Rust was about to confess her feelings to Kenji, a Beowolf appeared in the field and was about to attack them. Rust was frozen with fear, but Kenji took action and picked her up and began running. She began to scream as she realized where Kenji was carrying her. A cliff. She was terrified but Kenji told her to trust him and he jumped off. Rust shut her eyes as they took to the air and began to fall. She felt a sudden stop and opened her eyes just in time to see the Beowolf fall to its doom. Apparently Kenji had known there was a tree on the cliff face and had caught it somehow. She was so grateful that Kenji saved her life, until she realized that Kenji had caught the tree with a tail. His tail. Overwhelmed with emotions of anger, betrayal, and happiness, she pried herself from his grip and climbed up the cliff saying "Don't talk to me again you lying Faunus!" She ran away crying, unsure of her feelings towards Kenji and Faunus.

Over the next few years she got over her distrust of Faunus, but it became anger towards the boy who had lied to her for years. She channeled that anger into training to become a huntress, specifically in boxing. Her personality completely changed as well, no longer was she a quiet little girl with no friends. She became extroverted and competitive, which gained her many friends when she went to Sanctum Academy in Mistral. She trained there and created her weapons, which she named Club Rocket. She graduated Sanctum and passed the entrance exam to get into Beacon Academy.

Weapons and Abilities
Weapon: (EGAB) - Exploding Gauntlets and Boot

Name: Club Rocket

Ammunition: Powdered Dust

Club Rocket is a combination of gauntlets and retrofitted combat boots that explode with an elemental effect when making contact with an enemy for the gauntlets. For the boots, there is a joystick that is in the left gauntlet that has a button that when pressed by Rusts thumb explodes with an elemental effect. There are two directions that the dust comes out of for the boots, one that propels it straight down sending her flying, or straight back for devastating kicking power. The gauntlets and boots use different kinds of dust, Rust uses red dust for her gauntlets and green dust in her boots.

Other combat abilities Rust has a great skill in boxing and exceptional balance as she is flying in the air.

Semblance
Rust's semblance is called Mass Change. When using it she can increase the mass of her body to make herself heavier and harder to move. She uses it when she leaps into the air to come down like a meteor and to stand her ground from enemy attacks. When it is active, her movements are slower but do more damage, but sustained use can cause her to be crippled from her own body weight.

Relationships
Kenji Bruin: A childhood friend of Rust until she discovered that he lied to her for years about being a Faunus. She has since gotten over her animosity towards Faunus but she still holds a grudge against Kenji for lying to her after she started growing feelings for him. On the first day at Beacon she noticed Kenji with a scarlet haird boy but decided it was best to keep her distance from him or else she was going to start a fight with him, until she was placed on the same team as him.

Gin Wingate: Rust first saw him accidentally running into Kenji and immediately noticed his dark red hair. Her first impression of him was that he was just another spoiled rich kid trying to get a few kicks. This changed when she met him face to face, or rather face to forehead. He would barely look at her in the eyes and Rust realized he was more of a lost puppy than a spoiled rich kid so she decided it was best to keep an eye on him to make sure he stays safe.
