(?'s POV)

Where do I begin? From my childhood? From the big move? I honestly don't know. All I know is that I know what I'm doing with myself. I'm going to Beacon to become a Huntress. One that will hopefully make Remnant a better world to live in.

I guess I should start with how I decided on becoming a Huntress in the first place. I'll say this; Mistral is not be the most welcoming environment, especially in the lower parts. I missed Vacuo. Sure, we had to fight for our survival at first, but once we adapted, it was actually quite homely. But Mistral wasn't as hospitable as one might think. Well, the lower parts of it at least. My family lived on the border of upper and lower Mistral, so we saw our fair shares of the good and bad of Mistral. What I focused on was the bad. One particular bad in, particular. I was told by someone that no matter where you went, unless it was Vacuo, Faunus would be discriminated by, at least, one person. I hated it.

So, what did I do when I saw a shy Faunus boy getting mugged by some meathead who hated their guts? What do you think I did? I'll give you 15 seconds. Time's up.

*Flashback Begins; 7 Hours Ago*

"Hey, freak! Yeah you! Git your foxtail over here!" The jerk hollered. He then sprinted towards him. I'm guessing his semblance was being good at speed, but poor turning. When the kid took a turn, the oppressor struggled to stop and turn towards the kid's direction. Unfortunately, the kid ran into a dead end and the man pinned him against the wall. Thankfully, I knew a shortcut to get where the kid was going, but the man still got a hold of the poor kid. "Got ya you little mutant! Now here's what's going to happen. You're gonna give me everything you've got, from whatever you got in your pockets to the clothes off your back. Then I might let you go free. Deal?" I could feel the kid cowering in absolute fear. Without a second thought, I stepped in. "HEY UGLY!" The man immediately turned around towards me. "What the bloody hell you want? Can't you see I'm…" I didn't let him finish. I could've, but did I really want to? "He's just a little kid. Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" I knew what I was getting myself into. Even if I didn't win, it would still buy enough time for the kid to escape. Worst case scenario, the mugger has his way with me. But I didn't care. "What, you mean like you, ya wench?" I didn't notice at the time but, the more I think about it, me and the robber were about the same height. Regardless, I think you know what happens. "Actually, yes!" I rushed in towards him and got in a quick sucker punch. The man immediately focused his entire attention towards me. He must have activated his semblance to charge at me. I'll give credit where it's due, he was pretty strong. Got in a big hit on me. But… "What the, why didn't you get sent back? That was my semblance powered punch!" HE was just as confused as the kid was. "Yeah, I know. Really hurt my gut too. But that's just MY semblance. I can't be knocked back. You can't move me no matter how hard you tried. Still hurts though. Like, seriously hurts." I don't know why but, THAT'S what turned everything around. "What the hell? You freak of nature! You're more demented than the Faunus! I'm out of here!" With that, the man turned and left in a panic. I was a little disappointed. I really wanted a tussle. "Didn't say I enjoyed it. That's more of HIS forte." I said this to myself, referencing one of my friends from Vacuo. When I least expected it though, the fox Faunus jumped and hugged me. "T-Thank you kind lady." I could see the tears in his eyes. "Don't mention it kid. What's your name anyhow?" I guess it couldn't hurt to know, even though I might not see him again. "I-It's Kidd. Kidd Clementine." I smiled. It was cute. "I'm Stella Copperpot Capulet. Nice to meet you, cutie." I could see a little blush on his face, but he was starting to smile. "Why did you save me?" Well, what other reason was there? "It was the right thing to do." Then he asked one question that would be the turning point of my life. "Are you a Huntress?" I gave an honest answer. "No, actually. Though I did make a weapon of my own back home. Honestly, I didn't even consider BECOMING one. Up until now that is. It felt good to protect someone like you, ya know?" The kid's smile grew brighter. "T-Then you should do it! Be someone who can help others. Like me!" That's what one me over. His innocent little smile was all the confirmation I needed. "Alright Kidd, I'll do it for you I guess." After making sure Kidd got home safely, I went home and filled out an application for many academies. Shade, Atlas, and Haven were three good choices. But ultimately, Beacon accepted me first.

*Flashback Ends*

So here I am about to board the next Airship to Beacon. There was no turning back now. As I walked the steps to get on board, I took one last look at the Mistral sky. It must have been my imagination, but I could've sworn I saw Kidd's smile in the night sky. Maybe the stars aligned in that shape on purpose. With my weapon in hand, and my spirits high, I finally got on board the airship as it departed for Beacon. "Well, Kidd. I'm off to become a Huntress. Wish me luck!" I said, knowing fully well Kidd wasn't here. Hm, I wonder if there will be anyone at Beacon who'll give me a good fight?

Author's Notes

Once again, no visual description of Stella until the first chapter is released. I still have the C and L prologues too, so don't expect it too soon. Especially since Prologue C's release date will be 8/9. Like I said, the consistency of the updates is going to be staggered so I can't guarantee that you won't be left wanting more after a chapter. Also, this should go without saying, but I do not own RWBY or any of its characters. I only own Team RSCL and Kidd Clementine. Kidd is the only named original side character and as far as I know, he isn't an OC in another RWBY fanfic. You might see more of Kidd later in this Fanfic when we get to the events of Volume 5, avoiding spoilers if you haven't watched it yet, for some reason. Until next time, I'll stay Enigmatic.
