Rumo Neve is the second member of team PRPL. He’s 17, and his main color is red.

Rumo was born in Argus as a bastard child of a human and a faunus. He was then orphaned as a baby. Growing up in a foster home, Rumo always felt alienated. Although his foster mother was also a faunus, all of the foster children besides him were human. He was regularly bullied at his local huntsman academy, which eventually led to a fight that got him expelled. He then transferred to Beacon to continue his training.

Rumo was shy as first, but after bonding with his team, he’s become more outgoing and confident. He’s an incredibly dependable person, who jumps at the opportunity to help even at his own risk. Hes best friends with Pahi, the third member of team PRPL. They’re close like siblings.

Rumo wields a rocket-lance named Comet. He uses it to fly in and out of combat. He swoops in to thrust at his enemies, giving him the highest penetrative power on the team. He’s far less comfortable in close combat, where his thrusts lack power. He sometimes uses his antlers in combat to keep opponents out of range, thought this is a tactic Rumo isn’t proud of.

Rumo’s semblance, Leading Light, makes his body glow a bright red light. Due to it’s limited combat applications, Rumo regards this ability of his quite useless.
