Appearance[]
Azure is known to be a reserved, yet charming girl from her teammates. She has a simple and tomboyish appearance; a small refined nose, a heart shaped face with high cheekbones, angelic shaped lips with a heavy upper lip, and large almond-shaped eyes. She has a pear shaped body; wide hips, a small bust, and long legs. Her hair is short, wavy, and dark ash brown in color. She styles it in a messy faux hawk with a dark blue streak fading into a pale green, and sometimes wears a white headband. Azure is of average female height being at 5ft and 6in, and weighing in at a moderate 118lbs. Her cup size is a simple 32B, and this is a touchy subject for her since her teammates Pearlie and Sage are both fairly bigger; Pearlie a whopping 42C and Sage 38C.
Clothing[]
Default[]
Azure has less of a flamboyant, brightly colored style, yet still keeps the lolita apparel. She wears a dark teal swallowtail vest with the lapel a shade lighter, a pale blue short sleeve blouse with a slim cyan bow tie, a pair of verdigris colored bloomers with a black stripe on the side, grey and black striped knee high socks, and black laced platform ankle boots
Alternative Attire[]
Her secondary attire is comprised of a dark teal colored cropped jacket, a pale blue midsleeve blouse, dark teal high waist knickerbockers, black and white striped thigh high garter socks, and black knee high industrial platform boots, occasionally installed with her special sole
Hunting Attire[]
When hunting, Azure's clothing consists of a pale blue corset with a dark teal outer edging, a sheer ice blue short sleeve shrug jacket, a pair of teal colored bloomers, a frost blue lace half skirt, black and white striped thigh high socks, and black knee high lace up boots with her special sole installment
Pyjamas[]
During the night, Zuri will wear a pair of pale teal short shorts, a black sports bra, a pair of grey ankle socks, and an oversized white shirt that belonged to her brother
Accessories[]
Zuri, due to her nearsightedness has to wear glasses. When hunting, so they won't fall off too easily, she wears a pair of prescription goggles. Her fingertips are stained with dust-compressed paint and ink, which is due to the usage of her semblance.
Personality[]
Azure is a bit antisocial, preferring to be by herself, and if not by herself, then you could find her hanging out with Ivory, her childhood friend. She isn't the type to care about her high social class, as she believes many of her type are just stuck up and snobby and she doesn't want to fit in with that type of crowd. She prefers to hang out with "lower class" people, as they don't seem to care about the things wealthy people do. She is not close to her father due to the reasons of him being just like any other high class snob and his ignorance. She's also a bit of a tomboy, and her father dislikes this. She has a sense of tranquility, silence, and independence, so she hangs out in her dorm room to be alone, but that doesn't mean she exactly despises being around people. She's a reserved girl, and a bit shy, but is defiant when it comes to her family, friends, and minorities. She's a realist, but would like to get more in touch with her spiritual side, finding it interesting. She is an intellectual and likes to learn about new things; this came from her love for reading, but this can also be a bad thing, as her overthinking and over analyzing can cause either confusion or worry. She is a bit of a worrywart, skeptical, and very self-conscious, especially when leaving or arriving at an area, double checking everything and worrying if she has left something. She can be very fussy and a bit of a perfectionist with certain things, also showing passive-aggression towards people, with her critical, pessimistic thinking. But she's not all bad, Zuri just has problems trusting people. She's actually very nice and fun-loving, with a dorky ditzy side. Another thing about her, is that she's very defensive in terms of discrimination against anyone; especially members of the LGBT. Some of her peers refer to her as a "feminist", using it as an offensive slur, but she instead is a self admitted egalitarian because of her beliefs in equality, and is easily irritated when someone makes prejudiced remarks about anyone. Zuri can be a bit hot-blooded, but shes also a pacifist, dealing with her problems in a calm and orderly fashion. She's the type of girl that seems shy and maybe even a bit cold, but is a friendly and warm-hearted person when you get to know her.
Zuri has an irrational fear of the dark; achluophobia or nyctophobia, being the scientific name. The only person aware of this is her best friend Ivory, who she calls Ivy. She is still able to see the darkness due to her being nearly blind in her right eye, therefore having no sight, not even night vision in the dark; which is why she has to wear her special goggles
People describe Zuri with having weird and some contradictory interests. She's an ultimate weapon enthusiast, due to her father, Schwarz, being a swordsman, but her mother was a gardener and a florist, which is where her love of peace and nature comes from. Azure also really enjoys astrology; in her pastime, she watches the stars and likes connecting the constellations. She's a big fan of books and video games too. Her favorite genre of books are fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure, allowing her imagination to run wild when reading. She also loves food. Many of her peers believe that since she is a deer faunus, and she's considered an aristocrat, that she eats daintily and only dines on healthy vegetation. That's where they are wrong. She loves meat, especially burgers or bacon, and her table manners are less than satisfactory or just don't really make sense to many people. But her absolute favorite thing to do is draw. Painting, sketching, coloring, it's all she practically spends her free time doing; especially when there aren't video games around. It's how Azure expresses herself without actually having to opening up to people, since she has a hard time doing that. Azure believes it's important to express oneself in anyway they can; the world is a large, empty canvas; you just have to make your mark on it. Her observant and intellectual nature boosts inspiration for drawing and painting; even when in battle, using her semblance. She now uses this ability in combat, as her semblance consists of ink, dust, and paint
Azure isn't always as optimistic as she makes herself out to be, though. She gets annoyed very easily, and has no patience for whiners. She hates when people try to insert themselves into her life, or judge her. She has a passion-filled hate for bullying, having no patience for that type of misconduct. Zuri very much dislikes chores of any kind, and cleaning up after other people's messes. When people interfere with her lifestyle, her art, or her family, she will be quick to exclude them of her social circle because she hates to be judged or criticized, although she is very judgemental as well. Azure isn't very negotiable in areas of personal criticism, in fact, she dislikes talking to people who think they know what's good for her, especially when people tell her to act more "feminine" and "lady-like" and to, "smile," and the whole, "you'll never obtain a husband if you act in such a way".
Azure has a problem with communication; with her team and in normal social circles, being used to keeping her thoughts to herself due to her father, who grew up in Atlas, going strictly by the "children should be seen, not heard" rule. Zuri does needs to let loose sometimes and go with the flow. She also thinks a bit too much; she's slow at acting upon things, or thinks about the negative sides to an activity, more than the positive. She can be a buzz kill, and usually off-putting to other's ideas, and chooses to go with her own strategy, which could put the team in danger. She's only quick-witted when under large amounts of pressure, so in other terms, she'll be slower at getting to things due to her over analyzing practically everything. She's obviously very stubborn, and her right eye is very weak compared to her left.
A good side to Azure is that she is an analyst. She studies problems, picking them apart until she understands it. She is more of a thinker, instead of acting upon things. She's extremely strong, and playful with enemies and opponents, usually throwing them off. Zuri knows how to calm down tense situations with her quick thinking and methodical strategies, and outside of hunting, she also only fights when it's absolutely necessary.
Weapon[]
Primary Weapon[]
Azure's weapon of choice is Delicacy AKA Delici and Lacere, her detachable balisword. Azure obtained the weapon after having asked her uncle to construct it for her, seeing as he is a blacksmith. The balisong dividers are colored a light frost blue. The latch, edge, and swedge, are made of etched aluminum, with a neon blue streak on the contour of the edge. Her emblem is engraved on the tang of the sword
Delicacy has only two transformations, not including the storage mode:
- In storage mode, the blade is flipped inside the crevices of the dividers. She wears a holster strap in her back for easy reach. Delici and Lacere's blades retract inside of the divider, and have their own separate sheath on her back
- Delicacy's default structure is the large balisong sword. It's blade reaches a lengthy 121.9 centimeters, (or four feet). It has two handles, one called the safe handle, the other called the bite handle. Both have crevices so the blade of the balisword folds inside of them. The difference with Delicacy and normal baliswords is that although the handles and blade move freely, the safe handle is actually connected to the edge, while the bite handle is connected to the swedge due to a mechanism inside of the tang pin (or base) of the balisword
- And finally, the detachable structure; Delicacy, as stated before, has the ability to detach its handles from one another. When the handles are detached, the edge and swedge also separate, so she has two swords. The left Delici, the right Lacere.
Secondary Weapon[]
Azure's boots have a thick sole that obtains dust contained paintballs, and small burrows on the bottom so the paint can leak out. This gives her the ability to use certain dust types. For example, wind allows her to shoot herself up into the air and down on the opponent or to get away from danger, fire and smoke allows her to send out flares if she's split up from her team, ice gives her the ability to make the ground slippery to get out of tough areas, etc

Semblance[]
Zuri's semblance, Chroma Dimension, allows her to manipulate and generate paint; particularly acrylic paint. She can solidify and shape it into structures, or even use it in defense. It takes the shape of 3D laser writing, and can have the consistency of glass, though is usually more rubbery. She is able to modify the opacity (which depletes less aura, but the effect isn't as strong), width (which takes more aura the thicker it is), consistency, and texture. The default color is cyan, but when mixed with dust, the color is affected. She cannot create weapons (such as guns, spears, etc) from the paint, nor can she see the paint with her naked eye, as she has to use her goggles. She also has only two uses in one streak of paint
Aura[]
Zuri's aura is a pale cyan color. As usual, it protects her, and is used as a barrier. Her father and mother both unlocked her Aura as soon as she had been born, causing a near death for her mother; the childbirth took an extensive amount from her. Her aura has a visual manifestation; when showing medium or high velocity, pursuing her is a streaking long exposure light in the color of cyan
Special Skills[]
Azure's an ace at survival; knowing what's edible in a forest and what isn't, knowing how to hunt for game, and how to set camp. And of course her Faunus heritage gives her the ability of Night Vision, but because of her near blindness in one eye, it's not as strong. She's silent when in battle or on the run; cleverly staying low at all times and she's learned how to move swiftly throughout the woods. She can run, but not for long, as she has a low endurance
Relationships[]
Friends[]
Azure isn't very popular, although she's okay with that. She, of course, considers Ivory one of her closest confidants, along with Sage, Pearlie, and her own mother. Shānshí Chén from team CSTL of Beacon is considered a friendly acquaintance. She is not too close to the boys of Team HLQN, but she knows enough about them to consider them as simply friends
Ivory Clef[]
Ivory is Azure's best friend. They met at Sanctum Academy when they were both just thirteen. Azure had been getting bullied, so Ivory had stood up for her. He promised to keep her safe from danger, though was just called silly in return. During a physical encounter with bullies, Ivy had been sent to the nurses office. Zuri found him there, sitting on the windowsill, meditating. He immediately awoken and told her that her aura was very pure, and strong, but had not completely awakened yet. Interested in his spiritual intellect, she befriended him with a warm smile
Sage Terra[]
Sage and Azure met in Haven after Sage had tripped herself in the hallway. She had laid there for a moment before Azure came and helped her up (after laughing). The soft-spoken girl thanked her with a nod and told her that she didn't hate her as much as she does with others in the school due to her kindness, and walked off. Later, in the team initiation, Sage saved Zuri from a Deathstalker. With as little as a smirk, she'd told Azure that she saved her, so now she must repay in "friendship" (though Zuri thinks really meant her personal slave).
Pearlie Lusta[]
Pearlie and Azure met during the initiation; she became the leader of Team SPIA. Azure at first, didn't like her, believing that she was just like any other rich student at Haven; snobby and spoiled; but that soon changed their first night as Team SPIA. Pearlie proved herself to be a nice, caring, and nurturing young lady. Sure she was a bit too confident, but she never put others down. She comforts Zuri when she feels homesick. She's like a second mother to her and trains her in her free time
Romantic Interest[]
Although she doesn't admit to it out loud, Azure is so obvious about her crush, it's painful for her teammates to see her little heart suffer
Lánhuā Zhang[]
Lánhuā came from Beacon Academy to escape the destruction in Vale. He is from Team HLQN, a 4th year student, twenty years old. Azure fell for him when hey met. He's a clueless adorable young man. Azure fell for his hardworking, silly personality and beautiful flaws, although he remains oblivious of her infatuation
Rivals[]
Pearlie[]
Azure views her team's leader, Pearlie Lusta as an interesting combat rival. She's fast, focused, and agile in combat. Both are very determined to win in a spar, so they fight with everything they've got
History[]
Azure and her father always had a rocky relationship. While he wanted her to be more mature and ladylike, she wanted to be herself and didn't want her wealth to define her, nor did she want to play the part in gender roles. They had their ups and downs, but they usually got through them. He had brought her up telling stories of his family being hunters and all of the great adventures he'd been in as a hunter himself. Ever since then, she'd wanted to become a huntress, like her long line of great grandfathers and uncles. But things changed as she neared her teen years. As she matured, Azure started to realize what kind of hunters her family had been. They were more violent than the average White Fang member, causing riots and attacking humans. Although many of them were shunned from the White Fang; as they were a group that peacefully protested for equality. Schwarz made smaller groups and ordered them to spread out around Remnant. When she'd found out the truth about her father's secret and confronted him about it, he became more irrational with her.
Schwarz, growing up in Atlas, had experienced discrimination, so he'd joined the White Fang in order to prove to humans that they we're not the only wealthy, privileged type that they had thought themselves to be, and that they were the true "animals". His snobby, selfish and violent behavior was contradictory to what the White Fang had fought for. He'd wanted his children to take after him in the White Fang after he heard of it's corruption, though his sons were instead interested in living normal lives, and his opinion of his daughters were negative and believed them to be weak and submissive. But, with Azure being the only child that had shown interest in hunting, he'd decided to train her anyway, readying her for the White Fang, although it wasn't what she'd wanted to do. She wanted to be a huntress and attack Grimm, not people. After hearing this, her father immediately refused to let her train at a hunting school. Especially with humans. He didn't want her training anymore, blaming it on her gender and how she'd be weak compared to the others, who he suspected were all men, at Sanctum. She was told that if she'd wanted to get strong, she would have to train in the White Fang; as even THEY could give a woman strength.
Azure refused to bend to her father's sexist, manipulative rules, so he banned her from hunting all together, claiming he was the only reason she wasn't shut up and married already. He claimed that since she didn't want to do as told and keep the generation going, he wanted her to do as she was supposed to earlier in life and turn her wild, rebellion into classy, ladylike behavior. Her only decision was to train and become a White Fang member, or move back with her mother and become the very thing she detests. Having no choice, Zuri, crestfallen, chose to go back to her mother. So he allowed his ex-wife to begin her "training".
Her mother, Regalia, instead taught Azure the ways of a huntress; teaching her survival skills, and how to handle swords as best as she could, since her father had stopped teaching her. Zuri had been taught valuable lessons, and her mother had sent her off to Sanctum; she has yet to talk to her father.
Her years at Sanctum went by in a flash, and she soon graduated. Her mother offered to send her to Beacon, though she refused and, in modesty, said Beacon was for the best of the best hunters, so she joined Haven. Her first year in Sanctum was practically hell; her fighting was off, she felt lonely, and had no friends until the team initiation. Her leader, Pearlie Lusta and partner, Sage Terra seemed like the average snobby spoiled rich children, but Pearlie turned out to be a very nurturing, giving, and warm-hearted advisor, while Sage seemed to have much in common with Azure herself; they both enjoyed video games and drawing and were socially awkward, which caused them to spark interests in each other. She also recognized Ivory Clef. They were childhood friends until her father forced her to stop being around him and she moved away. Her teammates made her feel much more welcome and at ease. They helped her in areas where she was lacking, and her narrow mindedness began to open little by little.
Trivia[]
Azure and the rest of her team are based on different types of art styles. Azure is the art of painting, Ivory is the art of music, Pearlie is the art of puppetry, and Sage is the art of dance.
Azure's color alludes to the color Azure, a pale sky blue
