Sani Topaz

Appearance
Being 5'8 and 140lbs Sani has a very athletic build for most girls. She usually wheres her medium length silvery white hair tied back out of her dark green eyes. Under her left eye she has a scar from when she was younger. Her clothing may be slightly tight fitting in some areas but breathes just enough to not restrict her movement.

Sani wears a tight white athletic shirt with dark gray long sleeves, which are tucked into her elbow length gray fingerless gloves, and collar. As she is a faunus she has an aspect of her animal heritage which for her is a snow leopard tail that acts like a belt for her pants. Her pants are black hakama pants, which are typical samurai pants that flare widely at the bottoms. On her thighs she has holsters for her tonfa. She wears no shoes as her feet are heavily calloused on the soles from not wearing shoes most her life.

Personality
As Sani was raised on the streets as an orphan she has a hard time trusting people at first and is usually quiet around strangers at first. However, once she does trust them, they have made a great ally and friend for life. She also knows that every action has a consequence and that every one has a dark side. Despite this she is surprisingly optimistic for someone who was orphaned at a young age and lived on the streets.

Sani tends to be the anchor to the ground of the group and keeps them all in reality with a down to earth, humble attitude. She also tends to avoid small talk at times when not necessary and longs to live her life on the battlefield instead of in a social setting. Her faunus heritage is not only apparent in her appearance but also her love of veal and climbing trees much like an actual snow leopard.

Backstory
Sani was born to two poor faunus in vale, her father left to go work in the Schnee dust mines to earn some money for the family while her mother was an avid white fang supporter. Unfortunately her mother was killed when a peaceful protest had turned violent and her father could not return home thus she was quickly orphaned at the young age of 7. From there she had to fight to survive, occasionally she got scraps and money from kind strangers but commonly had to steal in order to survive. This lead her to distrust many people as some shop keepers would let her take free food then call the cops saying she stole from them. Stealing became part of her life, the scar she wears under her eye was from a rusty knife that slipped while trying to cut a stolen mango.

Somehow Sani always knew she was going to leave the streets and have a better life than what she currently called life. This came in the form of a huntsman in vale home from a mission finding her, sympathizing with her, and helping her enroll in signal academy. Once she was in her life quickly got better, she no longer slept in an alley, always knew where her next meal was coming from and overall happier despite rarely showing it. While there she didn't really make friends but worked her hardest to get into beacon and eventually did with her weapons by her side, a pair of tonfa/guns called Knight's Oath.
