A normal day, one like any other. A young girl with long black hair and dark blue eyes took a stroll through the woods. After a bit of exploring she happened upon an injured wolf faunus. Worried, the young girl then helped the injured faunus back to her village where her mother tended the injuries. The girl's name is Aya.
That night a disturbance happens and the village is now ablaze. The young girl ran home, looking for her parents. Aya ran into the burning house to try and protect her sister. Inside is a large tiger faunus standing over another young girl, Aya's little sister Mei. However by the time she reached the young girl the faunus had already brought his weapon down, severely injuring her. Aya's eyes widened as she grabbed the young girl. She cowered as the faunus leered down at her. He then smiled a toothy grin.
"To think that Hypno The Fang seeks is a little girl." He said, "Now before anything I might as well give you a souvenir to remember me by." He said before swinging his weapon and striking Aya in the side, leaving a large wound. Aya then backed away.
Just before the faunus could touch Aya again the window shattered and a sword blocked Aya from the faunus,
"You better leave my children alone." An older version of Aya with dark red eyes stands in front of both girls, "Take the girls and leave." She said, turning towards Aya and Mei. Aya's father then grabbed Mei and before he could get to Aya the wolf faunus grabbed her. Aya's mother nodded and sliced a beam to keep the tiger faunus from getting to the others, "Your fight is with me." She said much to his displeasure.
The wolf faunus then jumped through the window and ran. The whole village was under attack, "Don't worry, I'll get you to safety." The faunus said as he ran with Aya in his arms. He knew he'd soon be followed. As soon as he got far enough from the village he put Aya down in a bush and covered her with his jacket as it had gotten quite cold by now, "Stay here and someone will find you." He said as he then ran out and waved at some White Fang members who had been attacking the village. The woman chased him eagerly.
Aya watched as the faunus ran into the distance followed by other faunus. She curled up and cried silently. She was alone. Then as she heard rustling, she turned to see a member of her village.
"Aya, you're safe, but where's that wolf faunus that was with you?" She asked, looking around. Aya shook her head, "I don't know." She said as she was then picked up. The villager then made her way with Aya to where the other villagers had ended up, most everyone had gotten out unharmed… Everyone except Aya's mother. Her father was overjoyed that Aya was safe and sound albeit still hurt from the tiger faunus' weapon. In the next five years the village built elsewhere in a place well hidden from the Fang. Aya lost most of her memories of the night as it was very traumatic for the young girl, her sister was paralyzed from the attack and her mother perished in the fight. At the end of the five years Aya, thanks to the persuasion of many of the villagers, applied and was accepted to Beacon. Now older, she felt ready to face the challenges ahead that Beacon offered.
