Neopolitan

==Summary==
Neopolitan, better known as Neo, is a major antagonist in RWBY and the former partner of Roman Torchwick.
Neo is a mute and has been one since birth.RWBY: Roman Holiday As such, she communicates purely through body language, miming or text messages. After the Fall of Beacon, she hunts down Cinder Fall in revenge for Roman's death, but subsequently joins forces with her, shifting her target to Ruby Rose.
In her childhood, she was known as Trivia Vanille, where she was rolled into Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls, a prestigious school for wealthy and socialite girls. Though outwardly teaching them mannerisms and social etiquette, they also had a secret program that involved taking young women and turning them into elite spies and assassins. It was eventually shut down when their program was exposed to the public, from which Trivia changed her name to Neopolitan and joined with Torchwick as his partner in crime.

Standard Equipment: Hush
Intelligence: Gifted (Having been trained in the art of infiltration and assassination at Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls, a covert school which trains some of the most elite female spies and assassins in the world, Neo is extraordinarily skilled in combat. Her fighting style is highly evasive, focusing on dodging, deflecting or maneuvering around her opponent's strikes until she has exhausted them, or until she is ready for a counterattack. She is very acrobatic and exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat, relying on her agility to dodge and misdirect enemy movements and attacks, before retaliating with her own attacks resembling a mix of Bartitsu, Fencing, and Capoeira. Her skill is such that she casually defeated opponents such as Yang and Ruby early in the series while playing with her opponents the entire time, able to defeat them without taking anything more than a glancing blow. After the Fall of Beacon, she was shown to easily able to keep up with Cinder in a mostly-even fight, only backing down when Cinder resorted to the use of her Maiden Powers. During the Atlas Arc, despite being completely outnumbered by both Oscar and Team JNR, she easily evaded, parried and dodged their attacks and overpowered and outmaneuvered them with quick and powerful strikes while doing so in a joking manner, hinting that Neo herself was not taking them seriously and was toying with them during the majority of their battle.
By the end of the Atlas Arc, Neo's combat skills were shown in full when she easily fought against both Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna simultaneously and largely kept them on the defensive. By word of God, Neo's skill is sufficient to defeat Mercury Black in a one on one fight. Neo has also displayed a cunning streak and a level of observation whenever doing jobs and assignments, especially whenever she gets into fights and is outnumbered. During her battle against Team JNPR, Neo took notice of Lie Ren's protectiveness of Nora Valkyrie and took advantage of that by transforming into her using her Semblance to make him hesitate, giving her an opening to attack and escape. Neo is also a highly skilled infiltrator, thanks to her Semblance she has shown the capacity to easily infiltrate military compounds no matter how well guarded or secure they are, to the point of casually infiltrating an Atlesian airship full of soldiers in order to free Roman and later infiltrating a Mistral air base to steal an airship without being detected or noticed by the Kingdom's military or officials. Later she showcased that she could even easily infiltrate the highly secured Atlas Academy and later escape from it with no one noticing her at all, managing to again hijack and steal an Atlesian Manta in the process)
Weaknesses: Prefers to play with her opponent rather than defeat them right away (though she is not cocky enough to take on an opponent that she knows outmatches her, such as Raven Branwen). Her illusions will be shattered if she or whatever she is using it on takes damage. Neo's illusions do not affect a person's hearing, as she is not able to mimic sound or voices; thus, if someone tries to talk to her while disguised, her muteness might give her away. Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without Aura they cannot be used until the user's Aura is recharged (Though in Neo's case her Semblance drains extremely minute levels of Aura, to the point of it functioning as a passive Semblance activated by her subconscious despite being an active Semblance) | As before | Neo's copies now take multiple hits to break, her illusions are no longer affected by her muteness and are now capable of speech.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Hush: Neo's weapon of choice, a parasol containing a long, thin blade hidden within the length of the parasol's tube, which can also project the blade's tip from the top end of it. The canopy of the parasol is made of an extremely dense, durable fabric that can repel Dust explosions and physical attacks, allowing Neo to use it as a shield or a glider. Hush was designed by Roman and Neo in their first years, where the former had the weapon developed by a Mistrali blacksmith named Gunmetal, as a favor owed to him. Roman gifted the weapon to his new partner in crime, which was made to resemble Melodic Cudgel, as Neo favors a similar fighting style to Roman. The weapon is named in remembrance of a childhood event Neo had, where she used another umbrella to smack her father across the face in order to silence him after she'd gotten in trouble with the authorities and was being scolded.
*Overactive Imagination: Neo's Semblance, which allows her to create physical illusions that can be seen and interacted with by everyone.The World of RWBY: The Official Companion These illusions are highly convincing and tangible, capable of physically interacting with objects and opponents, blocking projectiles, and shattering like glass when she dispels them or someone breaks them. Overactive Imagination is an Evolved Semblance, resulting in both its hyper-versatility compared to other illusion Semblances as well as its extremely low Aura cost, to the point that Neo subconsciously keeps an illusion around herself at all times, treating it as a passive Semblance despite being an active Semblance in function. Neo frequently uses her Semblance to disguise herself, changing her hair color, eye color, skin tone, and clothing with illusions, up to and including completely transforming into another person, not just altering her own physical appearance. Neo displays that her transformation allows her to even increase and decrease her body mass depending on who she transforms into as seen with her added height upon changing into Nora and her decreased height upon transforming into Oscar Pine. Neo has shown a certain level of cunning in order to effectively use her Semblance to impersonate others and take advantage of her opponents emotional attachment to her transformed form despite being mute, as seen when she mimics Nora Valkyrie's facial expressions in order to emotionally attack Ren into giving her an opening to escape. Neo can also use her Semblance to create a full body camouflage by creating illusory skin across her entire body that matches background colors of what environment she is standing in. Neo's mastery over her Semblance is such that she possesses the ability to mask an entire Mistral Airship with her Aura to physically resemble an Atlas Manta ship and maintained the facade long enough to fool the Atlas Military and cross the continental border checkpoint into Atlas. Her illusions are limited in the range in which she can create them, typically only covering Neo herself, a short distance around her, or something she is touching, but she can maintain illusions after moving away or having her illusions move away from her up to a known maximum of a city block away. In combat she has shown the ability to keep her opponents constantly off balance with her illusions, creates singular or multiple illusory copies of herself or others moving in different directions as distractions while rendering herself invisible, as well as creating illusory obstacles such as walls, buildings, and fissures in the ground.
**Evolution: After being betrayed by Cinder at the end of Volume 8 and After falling into the Ever After, her Semblance evolved, becoming capable of creating numerous tangible clones of herself or others and even replicate the abilities and weapons of those she copy. She can also grant her clones the ability to speak with the voices of the original.
