(I second Atlaxz, this was hard to choose...)

Appareance: Kaius is 192 cm tall and weights 79 kg; Tianee is 152 cm tall and weights 57 kg. An important height and weight difference there. Also, Kaius is a Faunus.

Personality: Kaius is a very intelligent guy but is short-tempered and isn't the best at leading. Tianee is calm as long she isn't provoked, is strong-willed and is intelligent as well. She also has previous experience hunting animals since she was very young.

Backstory:  Due to his Faunus heritage, Kaius had to deal with racism and bullying, but had a great record academic and battle-wise in Sanctum. Tianee was raised in a family of hunters and was taught to fight by several people, and sucessfully adapted to a harsh climate; she also managed to kill an Ursa at age 16. It could be said that Tianee has more direct Hunting experience than Kaius.

Weapon and abilities: Kaius has 2 weapons: a two-handed sword exclusively used for melee, and a pair of gauntlets that have both melee and ranged functions. He also uses his Aura for both defense and offense, and planifies extensively his moves before attacking, finally getting his rage off. Tianee has a 3-mode claw-trident that has ranged and melee capabilities as well; both characters seem to be more specialized in melee combat than ranged; however, Kaius has the advantage of his bullets and his big sword, while Tianee has the advantage of having a very devastating weapon, due to the spinning claw function that can also be powered up with her Aura and her Semblance; she could grab Kaius and finish him in one move. However, Tianee has a lack of speed that could put her in trouble since she doesn't have too much stamina, but this can be somewhat compensated with her flexibility, her sharp senses, and her small size that can make her a target that's harder to reach. Plus, since she's experienced in Hunting, she must be pretty used for fighting enemies that are bigger than her, also both this and the climate thing might have developed her survival instinct in some way. This is a very tight fight and I think both are pretty powerful characters, but I'm going to give my vote to Tianee due to her experience and her weapon.
