Respect Blake Belladonna! (RWBY)
#Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale.
Blake Belladonna is one of four members of Team RWBY, fulfilling the group's diversity quota. Blake was a quiet, guarded Huntress trainee studying at Beacon Academy, who gradually opened her shell as she became more accustomed to life in the dorms with her team and friends. Her dark past of aiding the once-protest-turned-terrorist group, the White Fang, was slowly being healed.
When Beacon fell, Blake failed to save Yang from her psychotic ex, Adam Taurus, and fled the country in shame. She returned to Menagerie, the Faunus country, tailed by Sun Wukong. Her family accepted her with open arms, but she learned she could not run from her problems when a conspiracy came to light. After stopping an attempted murder on her family, she chose to help her friends, and hope they would accept her back.
Arriving in the nick of time at the Battle of Haven, Blake was reunited with her friends, getting caught up in much larger plot as a result. To help stave off the end of the world, she came along on the trek to Atlas, confronting Adam for what would be the final time while doing so. With the toxic ties to her past severed, Blake established a stronger bond with her partner, ready to fight for the future.

###Key
Aura: The manifestation of one's soul. It can be used to augment attacks, heal the user, or act like a force field to defend the user from harm. Aura is a limited resource in battle, and once a person's Aura is depleted, they are vulnerable to attacks. Additionally, sensations such as pain and heat are not blocked by Aura. However, Aura will regenerate outside of combat. Aura can also be manifested in the form of a user's Semblance, an ability that is unique from person to person.
Semblance: An ability unique to its user. They are fueled by Aura. Blake's Semblance is Shadow. It allows her to create clones of herself, which push her in whichever direction she wants, even in mid-air. These clones are solid but can be dispelled easily if hit or if Blake moves too far away from them. They can also be used to distract foes or take hits for Blake. In addition, Blake can use Dust to give her clones abilities, such as creating a fiery explosion or freezing an opponent's weapon in place. Blake can also load Gambol Shroud with Dust to give her shadow clones offensive capability. Dust allows the clones to copy an element, with her afterimages becoming completely solid or even completely intangible depending on the chosen form of Dust.
