Trailer: Rouge

Another poor soul got served. Yes, she was a rather playful young lady, but she was not always toying with others, she sometimes helped them as well: such was her nature. Her next victim was her cousin who was at the moment fixing something in the garden. The water hose he was repairing had several holes in it, courtesy of her dog. When her cousin was about to turn on the water to check if there were any leaks left he was suddenly knocked out by the hose which was aggressively sipping water all over the garden. His cousin was simply sitting on the porch and enjoying the chaos.

"Poor Garlik, to work so hard on that water hose just to be attacked by it." She chuckled.

The man woke up to the sight of his 'attacker' chasing the girl's dog. He quickly drew his weapon: a boomerang with capability of transforming into twin daggers. He threw it at the hose attracting its attention. His target started to charge at him but suddenly stopped and fell onto the ground letting only a small stream of water out of its 'mouth'.

His cousin interrupted him once again, although he was thankful for that as he wasn't keen on fixing the hose once again after he would undoubtedly trash it.

"Rouge, how many times you were told not to entertain yourself with these ghosts of yours?" the man was annoyed with his cousin's behavior.
"Only like a gazillion times," she replied with a playful tone. "Besides, they're not ghosts, they're spirits."
The man sighed. "Maybe it's time someone taught you a lesson then?"
"Is this a challenge I hear?" she faked a surprise. "Then it wasn't very convincing, you know?" and she showed him her tongue in a mocking manner.
Garlik changed his boomerang into twin daggers. "Prepare to be trashed!"

The man charged at the girl and was about to release a series of quick stabs, but it was blocked by a sudden wall of earth. Rouge drew her weapon: a rather long sword with small spikes at both ends and slashed her opponent front. He managed to evade the attack with a side-step, then performed a back flip and threw his daggers at her. She deflected it with her sword, but the daggers connected into boomerang and returned to Garlik who threw it into her from half spin. Then Rouge turned her sword in a whip and attempted to catch his weapon into it and retaliate it to her opponent. She missed it and his weapon managed to cut a bit of her long, dark pink hair.

Rouge made nothing of it and used her whip to catch Garlik by an ankle. It succeeded and she threw him into a nearby tree. She then closed her distance between them a bit and slightly bended, putting her arms behind her.

"How are you a hunter-in-training?" She smirked, "Got beat up by a first year, that's a really sad fate."
"You're not... officially... at Beacon... yet," he grasped for air.
"'Yet', but soon I'll be."
"Until then... I'll give you some... serious beating."

No matter how much Garlik tried, Rouge never felt scared or threatened or anything. Waking up confused was the closest he could get to any of those feelings. She was quite fearless, he never knew how in a world with an uncertain tomorrow one could live with their mind calm.

Rouge was like a coin: had 'heads' and 'tails' side. 'Heads' could be described as her 'bad' side and 'tails' as her 'good' side. She displayed them nearly like a perfect binary code: 010101010... Now she was extending her arm helping her cousin.

"For all those muscles you have, you sure can't survive much beating."
"Grimm are more delicate than you," he mumbled under his nose.
"I suppose I should patch you up. Since you know, you wanna beat me and stuff."
"You double-edged sword..."

Then the girl pointed with her right hand at her side and a blue circular emblem with drops on it appeared. From it a small water burst surfaced and from it a blue floating woman carrying a large jug on her shoulder emerged.

"Heal him for me, okay?" Rouge asked the spirit.

The woman floated above the man performed a quick full spin with her jug pointing down and pouring some healing water out of it. His bruises healed and pain faded. Garlik stood up on his legs and put a hand on Rouge's arm.

"You're really unpredictable..."
"That's why I'm deadly," she smirked and then dismissed the spirit. She turned on her heel in a dance manner and made a few steps. "Make this one worth for me."
"Oh trust me I will."

Garlik used his Semblance and created a copy of his boomerang. He followed it by turning both of his boomerangs into twin daggers and joined them into a cross, the sharp ends of each dagger facing outward resembling a shuriken. Rouge on the other hand created an emblem in the air and from it a green sprite emerged. It created a wind barrier around its summoner and disappeared back into the emblem. The man then dashed towards the girl and attempted to perform a low cut with his shuriken, but she caught his arm with her whip. Garlik used this to his advantage and yanked her to himself and shoved a firm punch to her gut and the wind barrier dispersed. Rouge created another emblem and the same watery woman emerged and healed her wounds.

Just as Garlik was to throw in another punch meant to finish her, she unexpectedly performed a back flip, kicking him in the jaw. He stumbled a bit, shocked by what has happened, but quickly came to his senses. Suddenly shuriken was flying towards Rouge. She hadn't enough time to summon the earth spirit and had to opt out to defend with her weapon in the sword form. Just us the shuriken was to have a contact with its obstacle, it changed its trajectory and hit her back, leaving a scar. Rouge let a little scream of pain; Garlik smiled.

"Play time is over," she said with an angry voice.

Rouge created another emblem at her side; this one was red and had flames depicted on them. From it, a fiery lizard emerged. The girl stood with her side facing Garlik and pointing her hand at him, commanding the spirit to attack him. The lizard started to throw fireballs out of its mouth at its enemy. Garlik blocked a few with his shuriken now returned to him, but he got a few hits in. His clothes caught on fire. On a whim, Rouge animated the water hose which in turn poured some water on him to put the fire out. After this, the object 'died'.

"Be more serious when fighting a girl, especially me," she taunted him.

Then man looked at her angered. She knew how to throw anyone off balance and she just did that. He had to compose himself if he where to win against her and her spirits. With at least five opponents to deal with, he had to think fast and well. And the girl was not the one to get her victory without a serious fight.

Garlik used his Semblance to create a duplicate of his shuriken. He pointed at his cousin with his right hand, menacingly waving the shuriken he was holding. Rouge simply blinked at that and waved her hand off, taking a strand of her fringe obscuring her view. The man than started to spin around fast and a volley of shurikens hit her unexpectedly, making a few cuts on her body. He then quickly performed a front flip with one of his shuriken in its twin daggers form and slashed at her a few times. While he managed to score a few hits on her, it was nothing major. Yet, he did one thing that angered her: he cut off the light blue ribbons which held her long twin, dark pink ponytails. With her hair now loose, Rouge decided to go on full offensive.

First, she performed a few slashes with her weapon in the sword mode. She ended that combo with impaling the sword to the ground and an ice pillar emerging under Garlik and sending him into the air. Next, she switched the sword into the whip and with it caught her cousin's leg. She then whacked him to the ground a few times. Rouge stopped her onslaught for a moment and Garlik used this to try and land a final attack on his cousin.

He used his Semblance to create multiple copies of his twin daggers around Rouge, suspended in the air. Moment later, he launched them towards his cousin only to be blocked by a dome of earth.

Suddenly, Rouge threw her weapon in the sword form towards him and it started to slash him. It was charged with lightning energy and the shock it gave to Garlik's body was enough for him to stop fighting, collapsed on the ground, and consider the battle won, Rouge being the victor.

However, the girl was not finished yet and decided on adding one last finishing touch. She leaped into the air with her arms wide open shouting "Four elements!" and four elemental emblems appeared in front of her: brown emblem under her, green emblem over her, and red and blue emblems at her sides. She then drew her arms in front of her, clapping while loudly stating "Unite!" and the four emblems slid to the front of her hands, creating a white emblem. With her final words, "Radiant Tempest!" a beam of light emerged and hit Garlik, catching him in continuous chain of hits.

Few moments later, Garlik was lying unconscious under a tree. Rouge allowed herself for a victory pose: this time it was a simple smack from her weapon in the whip form in front of her and a few words: "Whipped you good."

Author's Notes

This concludes the second character trailer. This character is actually based on two characters: one from Final Fantasy series and one from Tales of series (I went as far as adding a Mystic Arte-like ability based on this certain character's Mystic Arte). Try and guess whom. ;)

Now I need to create third character trailer, but honestly I have no idea how I'd like that character to be and as you possibly noticed (and read "Author's Notes" on the first trailer chapter) I try to blend Final Fantasy and Tales of characters. I think it worked out pretty good for now. Maybe you have an idea? Is there maybe a type of personality rarely seen in RWBY OCs you'd like to see?

Edit (January 15th, 2015): I changed Robelia's name to Rouge (I don't know if there is already a OC or an actual RWBY character in the works with this name, but I think "Rouge" is a much better name than "Robelia/Rubelia/whatever-I-had-before).
