Gray Jay

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS?

A BIRD FAUNUS PROFESSOR OF something I'll figure it out (Wilderness Survival? Geography? Tactics? Dealing with and protecting people who don't live in the Kingdoms?)

Appearance
Her hair is still slightly black, but the feathers on her temples were always gray.

Backstory
Grew up in a nomadic band of faunus who left the kingdoms to find their own way without humans. Grew up constantly vigilant, but her people knew that unity, love and perseverance and also humor were extremely effective Grimm deterrents, but they also know that sometimes you just can't avoid a fight and have every child trained in combat, though their access to Dust and technology is more limited than it would be in the Kingdoms, since they have to barter for everything they can't find.

When war between faunus and human broke out, they were not entirely able to stay out of it, seeing as. They did not ally with either side, but did work with Hunters to take out Grimm that were attracted to the pain and misery and fear of war.

More stuff happens, of course, but I'll write them later.

Personality
Is wise as hell until you realize that she's actually making a fart joke.

Weapon
Tomahawk/Flintlock/Pipe (for like, tobacco)

Semblance & Aura
Ghost Sound or something. Makes sounds appear from whatever direction she wants it from. Has to be in a reasonable distance, can't yell at people across the planet, but can yell at people from the other side of a wall. Can replicate any sound that she's heard, took her a while to be able to replicate specific voices saying whatever she wants, and she's got a few voices for that, but learning new voices takes time. And of course, whether people actually believe that the sound is from a real thing is up to how cleverly she uses it.

Trivia

 * Based on Nanabozho of Algonquian fame and also Wisakedjak of Cree fame. They're pretty similar in that they're both from around the same area and are both mostly benevolent trickster/creator spirits who prank the hell out of everyone but usually to teach them a lesson on proper behavior and living a good life. (And also for their own amusement.) Also there was that time when he kinda was responsible for destroying the world because the Creator got sick and tired of his constant trolling, but he ended up making a world of his own himself, which is the world we live in today.
 * The Gray Jay, also known as the Whiskey Jack is a kind of bird. Whiskey Jack is a common, if slightly inaccurate Anglicization of Wisakedjak, and if you pronounce that, you can probably see why. They're not related all that much, Wisakedjak is usually associated with cranes. I'm still deciding whether she's going to have more crane or jay-like features.
