Fu McGinnis

Fu McGinnis is a bat-type Faunus and childhood friend of Peter Port.

She fights hand-to-hand, commonly utilizing her gliding membranes in evasive maneuvering. She will not kill anything besides Grimm and cannot allow living things to come to harm if she can prevent it at any cost to herself.

Appearance
She is short in stature and somewhat thin. She most frequently wears a brown hooded cloak with a gray belt. She uses the hood to hide her bat ears and centimeter-long fangs. She has black hair and yellow eyes. Her arms have gliding membranes extending from her elbows to the sides of her torso.

Personality
She regards life as top priority. She will not kill under any circumstances, excepting Grimm. She is also near-incapable of knowingly allowing harm to come to others if she can prevent it, even at great cost to herself.

She may value life, but that does not mean she likes people. She is slow to trust and very secretive. She also doesn't mind getting on people's bad sides. As such, she mostly gets by on stealing from those who won't miss what she needs, the rich, the dead. This, in addition to her Faunus upbringing, has left her with a deep-seeded mistrust of government and law enforcement.

She doesn't like people, but she loves her friends. Those who are fortunate enough to break through and get close to her will never know a more loyal person. Fu would go to the ends of Remnant itself to help a friend in need.

History
She was born in Menagerie. Her parents escaped to Vale when she was very young. She then met and befriended Peter Port at their local school. Several years later Peter captured a beowolf that had been terrrorising their village and he was recruited to an elite military team by Arthur Arc. She remained in her home village, frequently visiting him at his team's home base.

When Peter's team collapsed following the end of the Great War, Fu helped him recover and encouraged him when he decided to assist Ozpin in the founding of Beacon.

When the Faunus War began, she fought for the independence of her species. Once the war ended she revealed her Faunus heritage to the world, and helped Peter in the founding of The White Fang.

Years later when The White Fang began to change its colors, Fu was one of the first founding members to leave. She returned home and resumed her pre-war life.

When Peter later stepped down and took a teaching job at Beacon, Fu would often visit her best friend at his new home. They remain friends to the present day.

Faunus Abilities
Fu McGinnis is a bat-type Faunus. Specifically she is a Vampire. She has two-centimeter long fangs through which she is capable of draining blood from her victims. She has no requirement or urge to do so, however, and chooses not to.

Like most Faunus she has night-vision. Her ears allow for massively enhanced hearing ability. She is capable of sensing the world around her through both active and passive sonar.

Fu has membranes stretching from her elbows to the sides of her torso that allow her to glide through the air for extended periods of time.

Her fingernails are long and sharp, much like claws of some sort.

Fighting Style
In combat Fu McGinnis is highly evasive. She uses her gliding membranes to leap over her opponents. She will often trick enemies into defeating themselves or each other. She conserves her own energy as much as possible and tries to taunt her opposition into wasting theirs.

When she does choose to attack she is an experienced hand-to-hand combatant. She's capable of holding her own against multiple Grimm, solo and unarmed. Her attacks have enhanced damage due to her claw-like fingernails.

Family
Her parents raised her from when she was born in Menagerie until a few years after they escaped to Vale. Her father had planned to sell her lucky ivory fang up until the point she almost lost it and decided she wasn't willing to part with it.

Friends
Her best friend from childhood all through adulthood was Peter Port. She supported him when he needed it and was honest with him when he did wrong. They co-founded the White Fang together and she was the first to find out about his greatest secret.

She was friends with Arthur Arc and Summer Rose before their death at the end of the Great War. She fought alongside them numerous times during her visits to their team's base.

She is friends with Ozpin. Peter, Ozpin and Fu host an annual halloween party each year where they watch bad horror movies and eat pie.

Enemies
When the White Wolf began his takeover of the White Fang, Fu was one of the first founding members to leave the organization.
