## Personality

Biscotti is a stubborn, rash, and tomboyish Faunus woman that is also courageous and protective towards her family and her allies. Before joining her team in Haven Academy, she was merciless and violent towards her opponents (if they were not family or friends) to the point where other people needed to stop her. By the time she graduates Haven, she is able to stop herself and show mercy once she knows that someone is defeated unless she gets extremely angry and loses her temper.

She hates Faunus racists and sadistic, merciless individuals such as when she does occasionally butt heads with Forest Drake in Volkan's faction after learning to be respectful towards her opponents, especially if her opponents give her a decent fight. A good example is when she respects Miyuki Winfield after they spar with each other during their first encounter.

She is brutally honest which makes her come across as rude and can have a foul mouth at times though she is also protective, and is capable of showing compassion and a tenderness towards others such as her close friends and family. A good example would be when she interacts with her adoptive sister, Laurelei. She can be seen as an older sister figure to others which can surprise people of her faction. She is also one to pay back kindness towards others such as when she joined Volkan's cause to thank him for his kindness towards her and Magenta when they were both injured after a failed mission. This is also seen when she does what she can to help her adoptive family with whatever they need.

Biscotti is one that will never back down from a fight and is not shaken by intimidating opponents such as when she meets Erlyss Gethyn who is a powerful member of Nightmarian Eye for the first time. She enjoys sparring with other people, regardless of who they are whether it is one of her allies or enemies. She will stand up for other Faunus and innocent people if necessary or if they are in harm's way.

Deep down, she does have a soft side which is shown more after the Battle of Beacon which shows that she is a loyal friend and a genuinely a good person, especially towards the people she cares about. She hides this side of her while she works for Nightmarian Eye.

## Biography/ History

Biscotti was born with her biological wolf Faunus parents in a small Mistral village just near Haven and because both of her parents were Faunus, she was born with a pair of wolf ears as her Faunus trait. Despite the family's heritage, they lived happily though this did not last since the Grimm attacked their small village a couple years later when there were a shortage of Huntsmen in the area. While the Grimm were destroying the village, her parents decided to risk their lives to save Biscotti. Her father gave her mother one of his daggers to protect herself and their child before he fought the Grimm on his own and drawing them away from his family. Her mother hid with Biscotti in the safe room of their house but unfortunately, the ceiling above collapsed onto them when a Grimm bounced off of their roof.

A couple days later, an alligator Faunus huntsman named Triton Cordierite and a wolf Faunus huntress named Sylvia Cordierite came by the ravaged area and heard a baby crying in the vicinity while searching for survivors. When the huntsmen duo followed the crying, they discovered that the mother had protected Biscotti to ensure her survival. Saddened by the sight, the duo rescued Biscotti and took her along with the dagger before traveling back to Haven.

When they returned and made sure that Biscotti was all right, Triton and Sylvia decided to adopt and raise her as their own. From then on, she was known as Biscotti Cordierite and lived happily with her new adoptive parents. She then met her younger adoptive sister, Laurelei Cordierite, when she was born a few years later. After her birth, Sylvia retired from being a huntress and became a housewife in order to watch and spend time with both Biscotti and Laurelei while Triton continued his huntsman work to support the family. In the years that followed, Biscotti and Laurelei would spend a lot of time with each other and would always play with each other, no matter the age difference. When her adoptive parents recalled and shared their huntsmen stories, it inspired Biscotti to become a huntress like them to help others and to also be strong enough to protect her sister.

When Biscotti turned 12, her adoptive parents finally told her the truth about her and how she was adopted into their family. Although she was saddened that her biological parents died protecting her, she accepted the truth and thanked her adoptive parents for saving her and for letting her be a part of their loving family. The truth did not change how she felt about her adoptive family since her name already reflected this when she was adopted by them and had always thought of them as her true family. Shortly after, she decided to go to the combat school in Kuchinashi in order to start training as a huntress and received a present from her adoptive parents: the dagger that they found when they found her years ago.

While attending the combat school in Kushinashi, she created her primary weapons, Nature's Wrath and learned how to fight. She would occasionally head back home to Haven to see her family and to learn more from her parents. That was where she learned more about close combat and eventually awoke her semblance during a training session with Triton. After her first year, she joined the Storm Fist, a combat gang that would assist those in need whether it would be from thieves or other gang members. The experience from being a member of the Storm Fist accelerated her training by putting what she has learned from combat school directly into practice. She graduated the combat school with her combat gang and was accepted into Haven Academy after applying.

Incidentally, she reunited with some of her teammates during the Haven initiation and formed Team CMBA (Carambola). In her team, she was known as the second in command and was also the close combat specialist. They went on several missions together throughout their time at the academy. Her, along with her team, graduated Haven Academy four years later as one of their top teams and they all became huntsmen as they dreamed. They decided to stay together as they wandered Remnant to help others in need as they had in Kushinashi.

However a combat mission that her team undertook went entirely wrong a couple years later. The mission was to decrease the level of Grimm within an area near Vacuo since there was a massive spike in Grimm activity traced there. Biscotti and her team fought valiantly, though there were much more Grimm than they anticipated. Biscotti and her partner, Magenta, barely survived the onslaught while the status of their leader and their other teammate was unknown. When the duo escaped towards a village in Vacuo, they both collapsed once they arrived.

Biscotti came to a couple days later in a medical area with her wounds treated with bandages and wraps. While she was checking on her unconscious teammate, she meets Volkan Tinuviel and Teyl Torrence and was informed that the duo had been responsible for their rescue and recovery. After her and Magenta's wounds recovered some time later, Volkan struck a deal with Biscotti for her to pay back her debt to them for saving her and Magenta's life. She begrudgingly agreed despite being possible repercussions for giving aid to a criminal organization because she knew that she needed to repay their kindness to her and her partner and to also protect her family in case Volkan's Faction found out about them. From that point, she joined as a member of Volkan's Faction under the name Biscotti Creme to hide her real last name alongside her partner and assisted him on several occasions.

**Timeskip/Battle of Beacon**

Even though Biscotti had no part in the Battle of Beacon, she returned home and tried her best to get in touch with Laurelei. Finding out that her sister had left and made sure that her adoptive parents were safe, she decided to search for her sister to make sure that she is all right. After some time with no luck since global communications were down, she headed to the base of Nightmarian Eye and like Forest, joined them until an unexpected encounter occurred that impacts her and Magenta.

## In Combat

***Weapons:***

Biscotti's weapons are a pair of Dust Armored Sword Gauntlets (DASG) named Nature's Wrath.

These are a pair of armored gauntlets that are infused with multiple types of dust (Up to 4) that surround her hands to match her battle style. She can also use a sword blade that ejects from the top of these gauntlets which can also be infused with the dust from the gauntlets.

She uses these 4 kinds of dust:

* Earth
* Ice
* Fire
* Lightning

***Abilities:***

Biscotti is a highly skilled combatant with quite a bit of experience between her private sessions with Triton, her time with the Storm Fists gang, Kushinashi Combat School along with Haven Academy, and her time with Volkan's Faction. As a huntress, she is able to hold her own against Volkan Tinuviel, who is another experienced huntsman, during their spars and training sessions in hand to hand combat. She is a close combat specialist and is considered the tank of Volkan's Faction.

With her weapons along with her above average strength and speed, she is a quick yet also a heavy hitter. With her gauntlets, she is able to amplify her damage depending on the dust used or by her own aura and even more so with her semblance added into the mix. For instance, she is able to punch a hole into a brick wall with her aura fueled punches and with her semblance, she is able to cause a powerful shockwave when she aims it at the ground.  As for her fighting style, she uses a mix of taekwondo and boxing when battling which she mixes into her swordplay while she uses her weapon’s blade mode. Because of this, she excels in close combat.

She also constantly improvises in and out of battle as she also tries to predict her enemy’s next move. Sometimes, she does get surprised when her enemy catches her off guard as with any other combatant. When her tactics get foiled, she is not above resorting to dirty, cheap moves (such as kicking or punching a man in the abdomen or shin) in order to regain the upper hand or make her escape.

Despite having a decent amount of aura, she does have a tendency to wear herself out if she uses her semblance or amplifies her aura too often during combat. She also gets narrow minded if she is provoked or angered by her opponent such as when Forest baits her to attack him which resulted in her punching him forcefully through a concrete wall. This is a rare occurrence, though when she goes berserk from rudeness or anger, she loses all reason and attacks like a wild wolf until calmed down or knocked out. She may be more dangerous but she is more open to attacks. Because she does not have a effective to fight long range, she is vulnerable to snipers or far away fighters.

After the Battle of Beacon, Biscotti learns to use her semblance sparingly unless it’s an emergency or to finish a battle so that she can conserve her aura and last longer in battle. She also learns how to better control her emotions and temperament to prevent herself from going berserk. Chryssa Hestiah also teaches her more ways to use dust in conjunction with her semblance along with using different mixtures to give better effects.

***Aura: Light Brown***

***Semblance: Might***

Using her aura, Biscotti can use it to enhance her strength of her own physical attacks. She can do this up to 25% at a time to give her physical powers a boost with a cooldown of 30 seconds and it stays active for a solid 30-45 seconds. The more aura she uses for this purpose, the more aura she consumes. When this semblance in use, her hair begins to shine with her aura color as a side effect.

After the Fall of Beacon event, she has learned to do this with up to 35% of her aura at once and can also combines it with the dust from her weapon's gauntlet form. Yet, if she does this amount too much (More than twice), it will backfire on her own aura. This was inspired by Naruto's Tsunade using her strength enhancement jutsu.
