Grey Waldgrun

Grey Waldgrun is a teacher at Beacon Academy and former member of team Riesling.

## Background

Born and bred in Vale, Grey is the younger child of a family of four, with a twin sister, Rouge, who later became the leader of his team. Very few particularly special events occurred during his early life: He grew up an ordinary, healthy child. Attended combat school with his sister and future teammates- Rost and Lila- whom he later named two of his own children after. During initiation, they made it to the forest temple and retrieved their relics without encountering a single Grimm, and were almost universally average students.

The only area in which they excelled was forging weapons, easily finding new and effective ways of combating the creatures of Grimm. His astounding normalcy lasted until the year he graduated from Beacon and his team went on their first mission as official hunters. During a patrol on the coast north of vale, they were overrun by a stampede of Grimm making it's way towards the city. Grey himself was severely wounded, and made the rest of the team return to Vale in order to secure reinforcements to deal with the thousand or so Grimm in the hoard that had outmatched them.

By the time the rest of team RSLG had returned to get him, he was gone. Not dead, missing, and they spent several weeks trying to find him, eventually stumbling across a small faunus village. Grey had been taken in by the village and his wounds were treated, during his time there he had fallen in love with a faunus girl named Sylvia and chose to stay in the village instead of returning to vale.

After nearly two decades away, he returned to the kingdom to enroll his eldest in Beacon, bringing with him his wife and two younger children. Upon returning, he acquired a teaching position at Beacon Academy

## Personality

A very fatherly sort, can’t seem to stop himself from stepping in when
interpersonal conflicts arise. Takes great care to ensure all of his
students meet their full potential, and will not hesitate to speak up when a student is slacking off, including his own children. Good at defusing tension between others, avoids confrontation when possible.

## Appearance

Grey is a man of average height and noticeably slim build, with messy dark brown hair down to his shoulders and pale green eyes.

When in the field he will typically wear black jeans and a dark blue long sleeve shirt under a heavily pocketed brown leather jacket with steel toed hiking boots.

While teaching, he tends to dress up, wearing a bright blue suit with a red tie and black dress shoes.
