Coco was tearing through her bedroom in her house and Vale. She had just returned from her first year and Vale and had already lost one of her Grimm fighting outfits. "Where could it have gone? I just ironed it!" Coco exclaims looking for her lost clothes almost missing the quiet sound of giggling from the room across from hers. Coco sighs and walks out of her room and into the room across the hall. The room she walked into had light purple walls with dark purple diamonds on the wall behind the white bed with dark purple covers. There was a girl around ten attacking a stuffed beowolf with one of Coco's non-machine gun purses. "Take that!" the girl shouts at the plushie before doing a kick flip as a sharp knife-like claw comes out of the top of her foot slicing the head off of the plushie. She falls to the ground and giggles as Coco stands over her. "Violet… Why are you wearing my clothes?" Coco asks the little girl. The girl, Violet, just giggles and gets up as her claw goes back into her foot. "I want to be just like you, Coco! You're my hero!" Violet says hugging Coco and looking up at her older sister with a huge smile on her face. Coco just looks down at her younger sister with a smile playing on her face. She adjusts the beret that Violet had stolen from her closet so it rests just below her hairline. "There you go, Vi. Now you look like me," Coco smirks before walking out of the room, "Don't destroy my clothes," she calls over her shoulder before shutting the door behind her.

7 years later…

Violet was sitting on a log in a forest outside of Vale. She was tapping her feet and dancing in place as she listens to her purple headphones. Her long brown hair covers her black tank top with a purple plaid shirt that goes over it. Her black jeans were tucked into a pair of black combat boots that has slits in them for her foot claws. Her hands has scars between the knuckles of her index and middle fingers and the knuckles between her middle fingers and ring fingers on both hands. Leaves rustle behind the girl and a hand reaches out to touch her shoulder. Violet reaches back and yanks the arm over her shoulder shifting her weight so her attacker was on the ground in front of her. Two claws pop out from between her knuckles on her right hand nearly breaking skin on the throat of the attacker. "Geez sis. Way to greet me after not seeing each other for years," Coco says from underneath Violet's claws. Violet's eyes widen as her claws retract with a small sknit sound. "What are you doing here, Coco? I thought you were on a mission with the rest of your team," Violet smiles helping up her older sister. Coco accepts Violet's hand and pulls herself up. "You just got a perfectly good outfit dirty. Prepare to die," Coco says coolly looking at Violet from the top of her sunglasses.

Violet smirks and backs up and extends all 6 of her claws. "You wanna fight?" she smirks getting into a fighting position ready to pounce like a tiger. Coco smirks and swings her purse at Violet clipping the younger girl in the side. Violet does a butterfly kickflip over Coco and slices Coco's beret in half. "My beret! You're going down," Coco glares at the laughing Violet. "You're too slow," the teen laughs getting into a crouch and spinning with her leg out knocking Coco off of her feet. Violet laughs and does a backflip to land on her feet. "You gotta be fast if you're gonna wrestle with the wolverine!" Violet smirks as Coco gets up and walks towards the younger Adel. Violet smirks and waves her fingers as Coco stops in front of her "No wonder you got into Beacon, little sis. You'll do great clawing people to bits," Coco smiles ruffling Violet's hair and moving the teen's hand so she doesn't get clawed. "You still have to buy me a new beret," Coco reminds Violet as the teen retracts all of her claws. Violet salutes Coco with a smirk "Sir yes sir!"

"Do you still want to be like me? I can show you a thing or two," Coco smiles playfully punching Violet in the shoulder. Violet laughs and puts her headphones around her neck, "I am not you, Coco. And I never will be. Besides, I prefer melee over guns, it makes a fight more… personal," Violet responds having to rack her brain for the word personal. Coco laughs and pats Violet's shoulder "well show me what you got." Coco orders to Violet who smirks, "Give me a target." "Aim for that tree," Coco order pointing at the tree behind the log Violet was sitting on previously.

Violet steps away from Coco and unsheathes only the claws in her feet. Violet runs forward with her foot claws pushing her forwards with a greater speed than a normal huntress-in-training. Once she is closer to the tree, Violet kicks off the ground into a front flip with her right arm extended as her claws break through her skin allowing them to dig into the tree with the claws in her feet quickly joining the first inside the tree. She extends the claws in her left hand and slashes at the tree leaving two deep slash marks in the bark as she pushes herself off of the tree and lands in a crouch 10 feet away. The two slash marks in the tree matching the symbol on the leg of Violet's jeans chip away as the bark slowly falls off. "I feel bad for any Grimm that come your way," Coco smirks before leading the teen back home with arms around each other's shoulders.
