Rozu Kenju

Rozu Kenju (which is Japanese for Rose Handgun) is one of the four members of Team STAR. She tends to simply be called by the nickname of Rose, although her name is Rozu. She represents the color Rose. Her weapons of choice, named Rozen and Kreuz, are a pair of handguns that have been modified to use dust properties in their shots, as well as the ability to turn into a pair of twin blades. She, much like Amet, comes from the Kiyng clan, a predominant family of Dust shop owners. Much like the rest of her clan, she is very accepting to faunus. However, they went missing shortly after the 'new' White Fang age began, and fearing for her own safety, she fled from them, wishing to save her own life.

Appearance
Rozu is a fairly tall girl, with long, Rose-colored hair that reaches down to about her waist, tied in a ponytail. She has a nice complexion, along with bright blue eyes. She wears a maroon colored vest with a red tie, a nice, bright red skirt, maroon colored thigh-highs, and nice black shoes. She has a few scars over her body that she hides up underneath her clothes, which are the result of some mistakes that she made while she trained with her weapon. Most of the scars are due to some mistakes as to when she was practicing with her blades.

Background
Rozu was born into the Kiyng clan, a clan that was best known for their battle tatics. Being a part of their clan, she also practiced the spiritual meditation, Kindoturi, that was handed down through their generations. Initially she started off as a rather rebelious and serious child, who initally wanted nothing to do with their spiritual meditation, seeing it as a pointless practice.

This all changed when she tried the practice herself, as she had begun to take interest and see why everyone practiced it. As this was a practice that eased the body, mind and spirit, this had quite the life-changing effect on her, due to her split personality. As she practiced it over the years, it aided in quelling her conflicting thoughts that had begun to arise within her as she practiced the meditation.

As the years went by, Rozu decided that she wanted to learn how to fight, mostly so that she could have a way to defend herself, and as such she began to teach herself how to do so. She learned about the different types of way one could fight, and the different types of weapons that she could use to fight with. She came to favor to fight with handguns though, and with some help from her clan, learned how she could incorperate dust usage in her weapon.

When the White Fang shifted in power, the Kiyng clan went missing. As many of her friends and family also vanished, this both confused, and frightened Rozu, prompting her to leave her home so that she might survive. Because of this  scarring event, her mind coped withit by splitting her memories into two separate personalities. So, in order for her to survive, she got a job at a local restaurant, even though the pay was less than she had desired for. She longed to find some answers as to why her clan disappeared, and who had been responsible for doing so.

However, she knew that even if she were to find who was responsible for doing so, trying to fight against them as she was then would only lead to her death. From then on, she had a new desire: the desire to become stronger so that she may eventually be able to make her dream a reality.While all of this occured, she never stopped training herself in the art of fighting and Knidoturi. After overhearing some converations about Signal and Beacon Academy, and learning about the statistics needed to be accepted, she went and applied for the academy, and was accepted.

Personality
Rozu is an odd case, for she has multiple personalities. Due to this, she has three different personalities that she show off to others. Her main personality, is also her most carefree and cheerful one. She tends to be, a bit on the ditzy side, and just a tad bit silly. Seriousness is not a part of this third of her personality, so she usually isn't seen in a fight while she is like this.

A good way of describing this part of her personality is that she's a bit airheaded, seeing as she tends to not have much of a care in the world while like this. However, her next personality is considerably much different. Carefree is not of this half's nature, and fighting and elminating the threat at hand is her main concern. However, this does not quite mean that she would go about and destroy anything that is against her. She knows who and what the threats are, and makes sure that her attention stays primarily on them, and she knows who her partners are, and is more than willing to work with them as long as their goal matches up with hers, which it usually does.

Her third personality however, is a bit of a mix of the two, as they try to fight for control. She's in a rather constant state of turmoil, in which both personalities tend to come forth at random intervals. She can be either extremely unpredictable while this "personality" is out. However, this personality rarely tends to come about, so not many know of its existence.

Abilities & Powers
Rozu's Semblance is heightened perception, which allows her to enhance her vision magnification, like a telescope or binocular. Her senses are also slightly improved, giving her a better feel for environmental effects (such as heat),  and improved sound detection. Rozu's Aura is a deep lavender in color.

Fighting Style
Rozu trained herself to be as equally defensive as she is offensive. She is not quite an expert on either front, but she can most certainly hold her own in a fight. She trained herself in fighting with her guns, Rosen, and Kreuz, which are two handguns that hold slots that allow her to slide in some dust that changes the way in which her bullets act.

Due to this fact, she is rather trained in the art of using Dust, and has a fairly good knowledge as to what dust does what. In the occassion that her enemy comes in closer than she would prefer, her guns also have blades hidden within them, that she can bring out to fight with, though she is not nearly as adept as fighting upclose as she is fighting from a distance.

She is fairly smart and adaptive, though this is best shown while her battle-centric personality is out and about. She does her best to keep her distance from her enemies, so that she can more effectively utilize her handguns, Rozen, and Kreuz. Her strategy usually involves using the special properties of her bullets to both make it hard for her opponents to concentrate solely on her, and for them to close in on her.

While she was living with the Kiyng clan, she came to learn the art of Kindoturi, a spiritual meditation that eases the body, mind, and spirit. In addition,  it also improved up the psyche of the user, allowing them to be calm during the most intense of battles. She continues to practice it to this day as a means of keeping the spirit of the clan alive inside of her.

Weapon
Rosen and Kreuz are two dual handguns that were given to Rozu while she lived along with the rest of the Kiyng clan. They're made of a modern, light-weighted alloy of a blue color, and have an extra slot located near the grip of the gun where she can insert dust that can be used to give the shots that she fires different properties.

These handguns, both 15 inches each with a 10 inch barrel, are embroidered with a custom design in the metal (See ref image). The pistols have an ergonomic grip to increase her effeciency with them, and double hair-trigger firing the rounds. Both are equipped with a high sight-recognition reflex sight. For her right handgun, Rosen, the dust magazine loads from the left, and vice versa for Kreuz. To activate the dust bullets, Rozu flicks her weapons 45 degrees towards each other.

The rechamber is located opposite the dust magazine. Each regular magazine holds 35 bullets, with the dust magazine holding the same amount of charge.Kreuz also contains a slot in the back of the weapon below its hammer in which, once she empties Kreuz's bullet magazine, she can slide Rosen into the slot to combine the two handguns into a rifle, that allows her to hold and use two different types of dust for her bullets.

Lastly, her handguns can also morph into a singular blade. To acomplish this, the gun barrel flips 90 degrees, then the two grips interlock. Using the cavity where magazines are loaded, the loaded cartridges shoot upwards and lock in place to make a bladed edge.

Dust Combos
Rozu is still experimenting with Dust. however, these are some she has come up with.

Red - Flame Blast - Red dust gives her bullets a bit of a firey burst effect, allowing them to, upon impact, release a small burst of flames. The flames tend to be a bit on the small side, and tend to not linger for very long, but long enough for them to be of use to her. She tends to use these kind of shots in the situation where she cannot keep an accurate lock on her foe, and needs them to stand slow down. These bullets also have a red-tint to them.

Cyan - Ice Ruption - Cyan dust gives her bullets a bit of an ice burst effect, so that on impact, they burst and form into a small patch of ice. The patch is not all that large, and how long it lingers for is dependent on the temperature of the area. She uses these shots as a means to make traversing around the the battlefield more of an ordeal for her opponent. These bullets have a cyan-tint to them.

Yellow - Shock Shot - Yellow dust gives her bullets a stunning effect, which on contact with anyone, temporalily stuns the target. Individually, they stun them for a short time, but if she is able to score more than one shot against her targets, they would be stunned for a longer period of time. These shots are mainly used in conjunction with her aquatic shots, so that the stunning effect is more efficient. These bullets have a yellow-tint to them.

Blue - Aquatic Explosion - Blue dust allows her bullets to, upon impact, release a moderately-sized burst of water. Other than that, on its own, the water burst doesn't do much beyond that. When used in conjunction with other types of shots however, this can prove to be quite effective. She usually uses these in conjunction with a Shock Shot, for obvious reasons. These bullets have a dark blue-tint to them.

Red + Blue - Scalding Steam Shot - A combination a red and blue dust gives her bullets an interesting effect. Upon contact, the bullets release a small cloud of scalding steam, which can serve two different purposes. They can either be used as a means of burning her foes when her flame blast bullets prove ineffective, or as a means of cover. These shots have a purple-tint to them, and are her favorite combination to use in battle, due to them having two different, and useful uses. She tends to refer to it as her Double SSS shot.

Blue + Cyan - Freezing Burst - Freezing burst, a combination of blue and cyan dust, allows her bullets to, upon impact, burst into a moderate amount of water, that quickly freezes over into ice. upon impact Due to the fact that it starts out as a burst of water, it can spread out a bit before it freezes over. When used on a foe that has been sufficiently drenched by her aquatic explosion shots, these can be quite deadly to them, due to the freezing effect that takes place after the water impacts a surface. She only uses this combination when it is absolutely necessary, due to it making it rather difficult to move about the field if her shots miss. These shots have a light-blue tint to them.

Blue + Yellow -  E. Current Shot -  This is easily one of, if not, her deadliest shot. Unlike the seperate combinations of a aquatic explosion and a shock shot, this kind of attack is much more potent. Upon impact, this shot bursts into a smaller, more contained burst of water, from which the electricity carried along in it travels through. The water lacks spread, and without a clear path to follow, the electricity is essentially useless. However, if this shots does sucessfully connect with her target, the electricity will find its way through them. These shots have a greenish-yellow tint to them.
