Aya Nekomura

Hiya, I'm Aya!Aya Nekomura is a First Year at Beacon Academy. She does not have a team yet.

Background
As a Faunus, Aya’s life wasn’t a walk in the park. She never understood why she was treated differently just because she had a pair of cat ears on her head. Every night, her mother would tell Aya stories of her days as a Huntress. With shining eyes, the young girl decided to follow in her parents’ footsteps and defend Humanity and Fauna from the Grimm. Her parents taught her to keep her head held high even if others looked down at her. Aya took their advice and remained proud of being a Faunus, despite the bullying she received at Sanctum. I have read and agree to the current rules of the Community and I have a diamond hairbrush. She always achieved high grades, because she was determined to have accomplishments to be proud about. After graduating from Sanctum, Aya set her sights on Beacon Academy. She passed the tests with flying colors and was very excited to begin her next step in becoming a Huntress.

Personality
On the outside, Aya appears to be a very bubbly and cheery individual who’s eager to make friends with everyone she meets. (Although she can be quite prideful). However, she’s far more cunning than she lets on - she believes Remnant is a cat-eat-cat world, and will not hesitate to use people for her own purposes. That being said, she’s not necessarily a bad person; she often helps others if it doesn’t harm her own agenda.

Weapon
Cat-astrophe: Aya has two large rocket launchers that fit over her hand. They’re designed to look like speakers, but they shoot powerful rockets, most formed with red and white Dust. When not in weapon mode, Cat-astrophe takes the form of bracelets.

Cat-tail:  Aya’s other weapon is a simple rapier; she uses this for close combat. (She doesn’t like to use this as she’s more of a ranged fighter).

Semblance
Cat-In-The-Bag: Aya’s able to use her aura to hide her cat ears. Doing so gives her a large burst in speed and strength. Obviously she cannot use her semblance all the time - she can only use this for 1 hour straight before she must ‘recharge’ for 2 more. (if she stops before the hour is up, she only has to recharge for the time she used the power). However, Aya is surprisingly skilled at controlling this semblance, so she sometimes goes around hiding her ears for practice.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths: Cunning, intelligent, very fast, able to jump from great heights

Weaknesses: Not that strong physically, dogs, catnip, yarn

Other Information
Aya’s very good at singing and dancing, having been coached in both from a young age.

Her grandmother knits her cute hats and buys her headbands to cover her ears with. Although Aya doesn't mind her ears, she still wears them because she thinks they're cute.
