Clementine Kahel was born in Mistral. Aggravated by the rampant greed, corruption, and deforestation in service of expansion. Along with the heavy presence of bandits, simply existing within such a place made her sick to her stomach. She trained under tutorage of her mother and applied to Beacon. Hoping to return to her homeland and root out the evil seeds planted within.

Clementine may appear calm and collected around her friends and allies, but deep down she is an incredibly vengeful person. She has a monochrome view of life, with few shades of grey. Any transgression against her moral system could mark someone as irredeemable in her eyes. Her anger is abundantly clear against bandits. Some say she fights using blunt weapons to stop herself from expressing said anger as lethally.

She fights using dual kali sticks. No tricks, no gadgets. She carved and decorated them herself. Her slim frame combined with her refined physique allow her to take opponents head on.

Her semblance allows her to convert her aura into photosynthetic energy that she can use to accelerate the growth of plants. She can manipulate this energy to form plants into differing forms and shapes.

Slate Washburn was born the heir to a shipping company in Mistral. At the age of sixteen he convinced his father to dedicate their surplus ships to rescue efforts. Their first operation resulted in the rescue of Pearl Navi from her wrecked ship. As he continued his rescue efforts, he realized his passion was in the assistance of others, and aspired to become a hunter along with his friends. Due to the faunus discrimination in Mistral that affected one of his teammates, he decided to apply to Beacon at the more progressive kingdom of Vale.

Slate carries himself with a veneer of self confidence to hide his actual lack of it. Feelings of inadequacy stemming from his privileged background leaves him with a sense of impostor syndrome. Never fully believing he’s earned his place as a leader.

Slate fights with a loose and agile style. Dodging and taunting his opponent to aggravate them, while sneaking in strikes with his hatchet. He values attrition tactics when leading his team. Distracting human opponents on the frontlines while his teammates pick them off one by one. When dealing with grim he uses scorched earth tactics, hanging back to catch stragglers.

Slate uses a hatchet passed down to him by his father. It’s a standard woodcutting hatchet with a barrel at the top that fires shotgun shells. Slate’s semblance allows him to share aura with someone via a handshake. Their maximum aura amounts combine, and if it breaks for one, it breaks for both.

Pahi Dhumra is the third member of team PRPL. She is 16, and her main color is plum purple.

Pahi was born in Mantle. She lived a middle class life, until her mother, who was a huntress, left on a mission when she was 4 years old, never to return. Her father was a logger, but without her mother’s income the two quickly slipped into poverty. They chopped and sold firewood as a living, when one day they were attacked by Grimm while they were out. Pahi’s father tried to protect her, but he was outmatched by the monster. It was then when Pahi unlocked her semblance. A facsimile of Pahi’s mother suddenly appeared in front of her, and dispatched the Grimm with ease. After this incident, Pahi wanted to become a huntress to provide for her father. She trained under a hunter who was a former associate of her mother’s, but her training was cut short when her tutor was killed by a Grimm out in the wild. Not letting this turn of events discourage her, she made the long journey to Beacon academy.

Pahi is a very social person, but she’s not necessarily confident. She’s self deprecating, and highly dependant. She likes to push others to pursue their goals, but is doubtful of her own abilities. Pahi relies on Rumo, much like an older brother.

Pahi wields a bo-staff named Diamond. It doubles as a staff for walking and combat, and a flame thrower, able to spit fire out both ends. Pahi is the least capable in combat. Shes weak, and light, without any real mobility abilities. She has the second weakest aura on the team, second only to Lilac.

Her semblance is Maternal Apparition, which allows her to summon a facsimile of her mother. This summon is quite powerful, far more powerful than any member on team PRPL. It does not speak, and has an ill defined face. It also glows, and warms the area around her.

Pearl Navi is the leader of team PRPL. Shes 17, and her main color is navy blue.

Pearl was born in Patch, but she only ever remembers the sea. She was taken aboard a boat when she was young and travelled with her father and his crew until she was fourteen, when a gigantic Grimm destroyed her boat, killing her father and her entire crew. Ever since this day, shes vowed to hunt down the Grimm that killed her family.

Pearl is a serious and abrasive person. She isn’t very open about her thoughts and feelings, even to her own team. When she does warm up, she tends to show affection in a teasing way. Riffing and joking about her friends. Pearl has a soft spot for a boy named Slate, who was apart of the rescue team that found her lost at sea. He leads team STRP* (*pronounced “Stripe”), and they talk about leadership often.

Her weapon is her robotic arm, nicknamed Poseidon. It can launch out and hold onto things like a grappling hook. In the forearm, there’s a retractable machine gun that fires dust bullets. Pearl fights hand to hand with a puglist boxing style. She is the most effective fighter on her team, boasting good mobility with her grappling hand and high striking power and defense.

Her semblance is Deep Blue. This changes her iris to a deeper blue, and changes her mindset. She becomes outwardly emotionless, and this ability allows her to execute a goal in the most practical, rational way possible. It doesn’t matter if the goal itself is irrational, as long as it’s possible.
