Very interesting character, a strong gap moe vibe coming off her. Unfortunately theres some big issues i think i'll need to talk about first.

Brain implants and technology that alter emotions and download skills into the opponent's brain is simply not plausible for RWBY. We have not seen anything in the show to suggest such technology exists or is possible. At the very most, technology like this should only be capable of mild emotion manipulation, such as triggering or supressing the release of certain chemicals and hormones to achieve small effects, like a mild stimulant or depressant, no full on brainwashing.

Absolutely no downloading information or skills into the brain. The technology that would be needed is far too complex, and learning just doesnt work like that. Even if a person knew the techniques or theory of a skill, there is still a physical and practical element involved. For example she can learn hundreds of hours of swordfighting videos but it wont work if her body isnt trained, muscles and limbs arent developed to have the physical conditioning to copy that.

If you want to keep the implant, its functioned needs to be severely reduced to only mild emotion manipulation. Alternatively,  if you still want a brainwashed killing machine character other methods exist to do this, such as regular psychological manipulation, drugs and medicines etc.

By extension, the SS Corp company should also not be allowed to manufacture these implants, and no other OCs should be made with these implants.

Aside from this...

Appearance is nice, very cute character.

Personality, and backstory are passable, as long as the brain implant isnt mentioned.

Weapon is fine as it is, i think her abilities need a small nerf. She should not be able to copy expert huntsmen's abilities at her age and level, no matter what training or technology is used.

Semblance limits are fine, I actually really like the idea of unlocking, the losing a semblance because of memory loss. Its a neat concept, points for this.

CNR checks out, no other issues found.

Really, the biggest issue with this character is the brain implant. Fix that and she should be good to go.

Rejected.
