Howdy y'all, Rylan here with a new fanfic idea that I want to see if you guys like it. This one has a little less of Team RWBY in it but is still in the same universe as the show. Without further ado, let's begin, shall we?

In the quiet streets of Vale there was a lone figure walking along, cloaked in shadows as he avoided walking into the light emitting from the street lamps. This figure, when they could be seen, was a young faunus girl who seemed to have a pretty rough life if the cuts and bruises were anything to go by. Yet still she walked with some kind of purpose, at least, she seemed like it, but it wasn't a good purpose it seemed to a passerby that was wearing a black trench coat that seemed to be looking right at her, despite her attempts to not be seen, and it was rather unnerving to the girl, who gave a slight shiver before hurrying off to her destination. The figure shrugged before walking off to a local bar to get themself a drink or two.

Back with the girl, she had just got back to an old, slightly rundown home in the shady side of town. She walked up the stairs in a hurried manner but as she tried to enter she felt a dark presence behind her, making her whimper as her tail tucked itself between her legs and her ears flattened against her head. She slowly began to turn before a fist connected with her face, causing her to fall and scrape her elbow before the person, who was revealed to be a drunk, middle-aged man, began to go to town on the poor girl, who hardly put up a fight before she suddenly didn't feel anymore pain. She looked up and saw not the drunk man, but the person who had watched her on the street and a few policemen were arriving just as the drunk man was kicked down the stairs, right into the cops' waiting feet.

The trench coat guy walked over to her and checked to see if she was okay, which she honestly wasn't, but tried not to show it. The man finally spoke in a soft tone, "I suggest you pack your things, you're leaving for a new home," surprising her. She nodded with tears in her eyes as she got up and entered the rundown home to pack up what little she had. While she was doing that an interesting man with a green scarf and a coffee mug arrived and walked over to the trench coat guy.

"Rylan, I believe that you may have just found your partner," the man spoke, causing the boy, now known as Rylan, to nod with a faint smile as the girl walked back outside with a grey backpack with a black wolf on it. She glanced at the man with a look of apprehension on her face before she looked at Rylan, who merely smiled and introduced both himself and the man. "My name is Rylan, and this is headmaster Ozpin," the girl blinked before bowing to them both. "Do have a name," Ozpin asked the girl, only to get a shake of her head.

"Do speak," Rylan asked in a concerned tone, thankfully she nodded before very quietly mumbling an apology, causing Ozpin and Rylan to look at each other before Rylan nodded before turning to face the girl again, "I have a proposition for you," he told her. She looked at him with attentive eyes, hoping that he was about to say something good, "I need a partner to get into Beacon Academy and we have an uneven amount of students, so I propose that you join me at Beacon. There you will have a place to eat, a place to sleep, and a place to learn," the girl began to perk up more and more with each part of it. She nodded before surprising Rylan, "Deal, thank you, but are you sure? I don't know how to fight, nor do I have a weapon to fight with," she said, causing Ozpin to interject, "We do have a forge for those who need to repair or replace a weapon that may have been destroyed, you merely need to worry about learning to fight and unlock your aura, which I'm sure that Rylan here will help you with that, and we will need to find a name, which I'm sure we can deal with," causing Rylan to nod before he looked back at the girl with a smile, "I'll bring you over to my place, it may not be that great, but it's better than nothing," he told her before walking off, causing the girl to hurry to catch up since it took her a few moments to register his departure.

Okay, what do you think? I need name and weapon ideas for the girl, and I need a good last name for Rylan since I am terrible when it comes to Monty Oum's name rule, so please do let me know if you have any good ideas.
