Serena Vulpina

Serena Vulpina is a student from Haven Academy and a member of Team BRSS. Her team consists of Blaine Besart, Honey Rosso and Shui Ishikawa.
== Backrground ==
It’s easy to understand why a faunus from Mantle would leave home as soon as she could. Serena was born the second of a fairly large, lower-middle class family in a kingdom that was systematically biased against them, so pressure came from every direction. 
Teased for her appearance by other children and chastised by adults for her mischievous  behaviour, Serena wanted nothing more than to escape a Kingdom she grew disillusioned with before it drained her completely.  Learning to deal with bullies by fending them off led her to Meridian Combat School, which in turn provided her not only with an escape from Atlas, but a career she truly believed in.
When her term at Meridian ended, Serena used her street smarts to smuggle herself to Mistral via Argus, and eventually scored a place in Haven Academy.
Of all the members of her team, Serena is most likely to find herself in trouble. She can’t help but be the class clown, and this makes many underestimate her guile. Fortunately, her Team all see past her behaviour and have even come to enjoy her acting up from time to time. Her levity and strong emphasis on family is what holds the team together.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Weapon ===
Serena arms herself with a cat-o'-nine-tails with dust-compatible whips and a cannon in the handle.
=== Semblance ===
Serena's semblance lets her produce up to eight copies of herself. These copies' attacks deal little damage and they can only endure a small amount of damage before popping out of existence, but they are not there for combat. They exist with the sheer intent of bewildering and confusing foes.
The more copies Serena produces, the more aura is drained and the longer she has to wait to recharge her semblance.  In addition to this, her allies cannot tell her apart from her copies.
Serena has also used her semblance for multiple pranks, often sending a copy to class in her stead.
== Trivia ==
* "Serena" is derived from Latin serenus meaning "clear, tranquil, serene".
