Izayoi Kyuuemon Finished

Izayoi’s personality is a rather dark one rooted in anger and self preservation. Her main aspect of her personality is a deep rooted distrust and borderline hatred of humans. She believes them to actually be worse than Grimm for the amount of destruction and carnage they’re capable of unleashing. However she is capable of stifling this hatred of the human race, leaving it at a state of general distrust and extreme caution. This is done with the help of her love of playing pranks and causing general mischief.  Her views about other Faunus however couldn’t be any more different from her views on humans if she tried. Facing the prejudice of Faunus hating humans herself Izayoi’s actually incredibly overprotective of others of her species, going so far as to go into a dark fury should she see or hear another Faunus being mistreated with the tormenter as her target. One of Izayoi’s biggest pet-peeves is to, in fact, wear pants. With her lower body covered in the thick fur of her Faunus heritage she finds the concept of pants both annoying and unnecessary, however she will wear skirts without an issue due to how they allow her free movement of her legs and allow her fur to “breathe”.

Izayoi’s life began as normal as anyone else’s. From birth she was raised by her birth parents, a pair of Faunus that preferred to live out in the forest and away from regular human society. For the longest time she didn’t understand why this was and would occasionally ask her parents why this was. However they would only give her vague answers such as that it was “for the best” or something along similar lines. It was only when she was around the age of eight that she discovered the truth behind her parents’ choices. A group of humans attacked their home with extreme violence, going so far as to force their way inside where they proceeded to kill Izayoi’s parents. Before the intrusion of their home the two had managed to hide their daughter for her own protection, but unfortunately they had hidden her in a place where she was still able to watch their violent murders.

There she remained hiding, refusing to come out even after the attackers were long gone and responders had arrived to clean up the scene. It was only by luck that one of them had discovered her and managed to take her, kicking, screaming and crying, from her childhood home and her parents’ corpses. The fact that the responders were all humans did little to help either given how she had seen what their species was capable of. Being too young to live on her own the girl was forced into an orphanage where both Faunus and non-Faunus children waited for new parents. Several years passed and Izayoi remained in the orphanage, having grown cold and distant from both the staff and children. Even from the Faunus children and workers. As a result no families would think to adopt her. Amazingly one couple decided they wanted to take the risk and try to help her overcome her phobias. A human couple at that.

Angrily Izayoi was made to go with the couple, remaining just as cold and distant to them as she had been while living among the orphans. With her new house located in the city the young Faunus was introduced to “co-habitation” between her species and humans for the first time since arriving in the orphanage. Back then some of the kids attempted to make fun of her and mock her for things like her fur or tails. It seemed that now she would learn a new form that prejudice could take in the form of being excluded and made a target by the non-Faunus. Despite her new adoptive parents trying to counteract these people by treating her with love and acceptance Izayoi couldn’t handle it and eventually ran off. It was while she was on her own that she first encountered the Grimm.

Scared and alone she believed she would be killed then and there before she was saved by a passing Huntress. To her amazement not only was the Huntress a Faunus but she had also managed to simply communicate through body language with the Grimm in order to convince it to leave them both alone and go along on its way. In awe at the Huntress’s abilities Izayoi found herself following the woman. Eventually she simply took the girl in, realizing that it was hopeless to leave her on her own or attempt to return her to her adoptive parents. It was by chance that they both discovered Izayoi’s talents with Dust, the Faunus girl having been fooling around with the Huntress’s Dust only to end up not only using it but also discovering the special qualities of her fur as well. It was that one accident that caused the Huntress to decide that Syne would be a worthwhile investment in Izayoi’s future.

Luka waited for Viviane to return from tending to her needs rather patiently, taking the time to inspect her new co-worker’s current wardrobe that had been left spread out on the bed she had been sitting on. Overall it wasn’t something visually appealing to Luka given her personal tastes in fashion but she supposed the rather lacy unmentionables under all of it made up for it in more ways than one. The door to her private office opened up and Viviane returned to the bed and redressed with her face still red. The Faunus would go on to question how she would survive with the expected reputation of the “stone faced, no nonsense survival teacher” when she was too busy blushing just from looking at Luka. The nurse laughed at the statement. “Sweetie, about 90% of the entire academy blushes when they look at me. And I’m sure at least the majority of the male students and staff react the same way as your friend down there does.” Using a slender finger she pointed down with a smile to get her point across on what she was talking about.

Walking over to retrieve the blood pressure cuff so that they could finish with the exam. “I took the liberty of looking over your wardrobe while you were… “occupied”. Perhaps it’d suit you better to take the tour in an outfit that didn’t quite smell?” She attempted to word it in a manner that didn’t come across as rude or ignorant. “A “stone faced, no nonsense survival teacher” can’t exactly make that sort of impression on her students if they think she smells when she walks past them on her first day right?” Wrapping the cuff around Viviane’s upper arm Luka took out her stethoscope and placed the silver disk against Viviane’s elbow just under the cuff. “So I say once we’re done we go on a shopping trip. On me of course.”
