- Roz Quarzo

Roz Quarto was the main antagonist of Team FLME Volumes 1-3 and is a White Fang lieutenant under Adam Taurus, a member of the Lower Cabal and the former leader of Team RBIE at Haven Academy, thus an ex-huntress. She is known for her master planning and knowledge of her former teams as well as the academies of Remnant. She is extremely hostile and as such is has displayed great deal of swordsmanship rivaling that of her ex-partner Isaac Scorch. Her weapon of choice is a rapier called Quartz.

Early Years
Little is known about Roz's early years other than she was discriminated against due to Faunus heritage. She fled to Mistral to avoid the hate, but sadly it followed her to the kingdom where she was picked on and even beat by her classmates. However, one day, Isaac Scorch intervene and stopped the bullying. Both he and Roz formed a friendship with one another which lasted for years. The two then agreed to join one another in Haven Academy where Isaac would continue to protect her from those who discriminated against the Faunus.

Haven Academy
Similar to Team AMER, little is known about the team's time at Haven. However, Roz and Isaac became partners at the academy and Roz went to become their team leader of Team RBIE with Bazaar Hiltizalie and Elsa Inverno. The four seemed to form a stable friendship with one another and soon, Roz entered a romantic relationship with Isaac.

Following their graduation, Roz couldn't stand the discrimination of the Faunus and joined the White Fang to fight against the human aggressors, something Isaac supported. However, she soon came into contact with the Grimm lord, Lord Onyx who enlisted her services to his cause and promised her freedom from humanity by their destruction. She then cut all times from RBIE, leaving Isaac in a state of depression, but she didn't care.

White Fang and Lower Cabal
After joining the Lower Cabal she was introduced to the other members of Lavenza Volt, Shadow Ombre and Damson Shade. She was the introduced to Salem and swore her allegiance to her. Afterwards, she was given an assignment of keeping a watchful on Adam Taurus of the Vale Branch of the White Fang. Through her investigations, she began a close relationship with Adam that resulted in a positions of one of his lieutenants. Afterwards, she reported her discoveries to Salem and Cinder Fall and thus waited for Taurus to join their cause. Once Cinder recruited Adam, Roz formed her own group to continue operations within Vale as well as prepare to kill Isaac and Frederic Scorch due to their ties with Ozpin.

Missions in Vale
Following the recruitment of Adam Taurus, Roz began to assemble her own unit in Vale to conduct their operations. She recruited fellow Lower Cabal member, Shadow Ombre who was in prison at the time as per their plan, an ex-huntress Lavender Kristal and another White Fang lieutenant, Nolan Runderen. Roz had Nolan's first assignment to be to break into Patch Maximum Security compound and rescue Shadow from custody and follow Roman Torchwick and Cinder Fall's plan to dust robberies, thus they were to raid the Patch docks.

When Nolan returned to Roz's headquarters he explained that Shadow was captured again by Team FLME containing Frederic Scorch. Roz reassured Nolan that he didn't need to worry about FLME and viewed them as nothing more than a round bump. She then had Nolan and Lavender to continue their operations in Vale while Roz would move around the kingdom with Adam in preparation for what was to come. When she heard of Team FLME's interference, she authorized an early kick to her Phase III and ordered Nolan to break down the walls protecting Vale from Mountain Glenn. She later learned that they were stopped and as a result, Roz grew increasingly more impatient.

Vytal Festival Tourmanet
During the Vytal Festival Tournament, Roz went almost off grid and seemingly did nothing in the recent weeks up to the festival. However, she did authorize a prison break of Shadow as once Beacon fell, Vale would have no point to it. The prison escape was halted by her old team from Haven Academy, but ultimately succeed due to her intervention.

Battle of Beacon
Roz arrives at Beacon just after Adam and she orders the attack to bring the innocents of Beacon to her knees or to their graves. She then eagerly jumps out of her Bullhead with Nolan and the two began their attack on Beacon. During the battle, she catches eye of her former partner Isaac who addresses her as Kitty, her old nickname. She then begins a monologue of how Onyx was right about Ozpin and Isaac as both displayed great arrogance and thus wishes them to die for their failures.

The two then engage one another in a impressive display of swordsmanship with each blocking or parrying one another's strikes. Roz then knocks Isaac into a tree, which he effortlessly cuts down and kicks it towards her, which she jumps, but is then thrown into a wall by Isaac resulting her in crashing through it. Isaac then proceeds to attack her which she uses her semblance to knock him off guard.

Later on, Isaac gets the jump on Roz with a surprised ariel attack, but she is able to avoid and block his strikes. The two continue their duel with one another with Isaac pleading to Roz to return to ally herself with them and with him again. Roz refuses and states that the Roz Isaac loved was dead and this was the true Roz forever. Isaac then swore to avenge Roz and thus attempted to kill her. As the two clashed for the final time, Isaac apologized to Roz who returned with a rejection and thus Isaac stated he meant it for the one he loved and thus used his remaining strength to launch Roz into the city of Vale.

When she was founded by Adam, he banished her from the White Fang and attempt to kill her as well. She was able to escape with assistance from Lavender Kristal and Shadow Ombre who took her back to Onyx and the Lower Cabal.

Meeting with the Lower Cabal
Following the Fall of Beacon, Roz and Shadow retuned to Salem's Domain to report to Onyx about the battle and the failure to kill Isaac and Frederic Scorch. Prior to the meeting, she introduced Lavender to the realm and let her witness the birth and taming of Grimm but Volt and Ombre's forces. While their, she was scolded by Lavenza who claimed that she should have died at Beacon due to failure to kill Isaac. Damson then joins stating that she should hunt Isaac down a rip out his heart for destroying her's. Ombre then joins in stating that it was shameful that she lost to Isaac.

However, prior to her backlash towards the three, she is interrupted by Onyx entering the room and silencing Lavenza's unneeded "belittlement" of Roz. Despite her failing to kill Isaac, she is hailed by Onyx for her efforts in Vale and the role she played in having Taurus' allegiance to Salem. However, due to her defeat by Isaac, she is instructed to remain with Onyx to continue her training to hopefully kill Isaac and later Frederic. This leads Lavender to take over for Roz and Damson to now hunt down Frederic and kill him.

"My guard is allowed a voice in this council the same as you, Doctor."

- Roz to Lavenza

Personality
Roz is described as cunning, manipulative and cruel, easily willing to deal the final blow onto an opponent. She is a clam and collected individual, keeping her emotions in check, however, she is never afraid of using her training from Sanctum, Haven and Onyx to fight off her foes and possible lead to their deaths, as she does with several different Grimm and Atlas soldiers during the Battle of Beacon. She does call her partnership with Lavender as "cooperation" and refers to her as "her guard" and holds her underlings at high regards.

She is also highly demanding and expects her troops to perform their orders to the latter and thus expects results as quickly as possible. Due to the fear she installs into her troops, she does normally get this and thus her units are highly effective. Roz is also calculative and cunning as she evaluates foes and then strikes at them and carefully plans her strategies to capture or conquer foes or places. She is highly resourceful and can exploit weaknesses of her foes for either herself or her allies to use them and strike. Do to her highly skilled planned and cunning, she holds herself into high regard and thus believes she can achieve anything, even outranking members of the White Fang and Lower Cabal.

However, due to this mindset, she prone to being a bit cocky and very defensive. She openly disrespects Volt for his insulting of Lavender and the White Fang and also views her opponents as little to nothing. Though this normally applies to those she has little knowledge of, such as Frederic Scorch and Team FLME. She does hold her opponents to a high regard and seems to have a small amount of respect for their own resistance. However, this does not seem to apply for Isaac Scorch at all.

She is not fond of failure and openly expresses by scolding or physical beating. She is also very secretive as she refused to let Lavender in on the actual plan other than to kill Leia Burns and the Burns Family. Roz has confidence in her strategies, and is usually unphased by new elements. She shows no concern upon the arrival of Isaac, who has been tracking their actions with Bazaar.

Roz's timeskip outfit is actually her outfit from her early huntress outfit as well as her time at Haven. She is a tall woman with a pale white complexion, bright green eyes and scarlet hair.

She also has a small pink cape on her back which is tied together around her collars with two small golden rings attaching them to her jacket.

She wears a single pink fingerless glove on her left hand which reaches her wrist. One her right hand however, she wears a series of pink bandages where the glove should be. She wears a gray belt around her waist laced with touches of pink and a golden belt over that. She also appears to have a banner like object around her waist like a skirt or kilt. She also has a pair of gray colored thigh armor attacked with pink bands. She wears a pair of black pants that reach down to her pink boots.

White Fang Uniform
During her time with the White Fang, Roz appeared to have a custom uniform which she wore into combat. She wore a solid pink jumpsuit all over her body and was covered in black colored chest, shoulder, wrist, hand, finger, thigh, knee, lower leg and boot armor. She also had a pink belt with several ammo pouches along it. She wore a light brown color cape with a dark brown trim. She also wore a Grimm mask, her appears similar to Adam Taurus' mask.

Weapon
Roz's weapon of choice is a rapier called Quartz. Her rapier also display several containers of dust which can be used to fight foes, similar to Myrtenaster. However, it mostly uses burn dust with Roz in combat, resulting in fires wherever she goes with the blade.

Fighting Style
Roz's fighting style is to know her opponent first and then act on what she knows. This results normally in her observing foes and then striking when they least expect it. She is also a master at parrying, and other swordsmanship. She is adept in basic sword combat and his highly acrobatic in her swings and movements. She is able to quickly outmaneuver her foes with her speed and strength. She is also able to be thrown into walls and keep fighting with the same tenacity and speed as before, and is also strong enough to launch people into rocks and possible shatter them. She uses her semblance to give her extra defense and can catch her foes off guard from time to time.

Semblance
Roz's semblance allows her to generate bubbles or circular shields on her arms. She has dubbed this, Quartz Armor and lets her have a sword and shield style of fighting. She can also generate bubbles to protect herself from explosions or other elements. Her wrist shields can be thrown like frisbees for a long ranged combat. It is unknown if her shields drain a majority of her energy, but seeing as she used them quite often during her fight with Isaac during the Battle of Beacon, this is unlikely.
