nightelf37: Up next is Mami. Because I want these to be stand-alone, none of the Puella Magi's backstories will mention each other. Sorry, Hazzamo.


Fictional Work: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Character: Mami Tomoe

Name: Flavia Wayne

(Flavia is derived from the Latin term flavus, which means "yellow, golden". Xanthe was an alternative I considered, which is Greek for "yellow" or "fair hair", but I thought it sounded too exotic. Wayne is a reference to Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman, which Mami's character is based off of.)

Gender: Female

Backstory: Several years ago, Flavia was a normal child with loving parents and close friends, and a resident of a town in the same continent as Mistral. While she was still in school, she heard rumors of the surrounding Grimm ready to attack. One day, while with her parents in their car, disaster struck; the Grimm were on the attack, and in numbers greater than its resident Hunters can handle without casualties. And casualties there were, among them Flavia's parents. Flavia herself managed to survive with moderate injuries and was traumatized. Having no other living relatives, she was sent to the orphanage.

Once she became of age, Flavia decided to become a Huntress, not wanting what happened to her happen to anyone else. With hard study and complete dedication, by the time she was 17, she has become a veteran.

Appearance: The first thing people note about Flavia is her yellow hair done in impossible cone-like curls, yellow eyes matching those of many feline Faunuses, and huge breasts.

Her outfit consists of long tan-and-black boots, gray stockings reaching up to half the thigh, a white bodice that is tan in the skirt segment and has puffy sleeves, and a pillbox hat with a floral hairpin, which serves as her symbol.
Personality: At first sight, Flavia appears to be an experienced Huntress, which she is. She's shown to have feminine tastes, such as drinking tea and dressing with flower clips in her hair and bows on her shoes. She's also an excellent cook.

She has a strong sense of personal justice, which keeps her on the path of helping innocents even with little reward for it, befitting the role of a true Huntress. Her experience also attracts awe from others and many who fight the same way as she defer to her when it comes to battle plans.

Under all that however, her psyche is surprisingly fragile, as when she is conftronted with horrible truths regarding any subject, she can turn unstable and dangerous. And when she's deliriously happy, she can turn surprisingly reckless and showy.

Weapons: (Her multiple one-shot muskets won't work in the world of RWBY, so I'll have to devise something different.)

Flavia's weapon is a MiniƩ rifle shaped like a percussion-lock rifled musket, but modified to be able to fire like a standard rifle. She calls it the Tiro Legare. It is a breech-loading weapon, and is loaded with Dust cartridges. Aside from tradiional attack-oriented Dust, she also uses a special kind that renders its target unable to move thanks to the shot turniing into an adhesive material. She also uses Ice Dust for similar purposes.

To double as an effective melee weapon, the long barrel of the rifle is also bladed at the sides, except for one portion where Flavia holds her rifle when firing two-handed. This barrel also has a a setting where it can be folded upward so that Flavia can wield her weapon like a sword (albeit one that lacks a crossguard).

She once used a ribbon-related weapon called for tying up and restraining foes, but immediately switched to her rifle-blade after seeing its imprecticality against Grimm.

(I considered trying to implement Mami's ribbons to her rifle, but it ended up making her weapon feeling like a second-rate, trying-hard copycat of Gambol Shroud. So I implemented it in the form of Flavia's preferred Dust)

Semblance: Healing Hands. By placing her hands on an injury sustained by an Aura-generating being, she can accelerate the healing process there.

Fighting Style: Flavia is a tactical combatant first and foremost, fighting smart, staying focused and disciplined, and maintaining her range, keeping a cool head despite the pressure, coupled with a bit of grace. However, when she's in a state of euphoria, particularly after an inspiring or encouraging conversation with another person, she turns into a show-off and starts fighting recklessly, a turnabout from her usual tactical approach. As a result, her teammates need to keep her emotions on check, though she is best fighting solo.

Hobbies/Interests: tea, cooking (particularly desserts)

Dislikes: awful revelations, solitude


nightelf37: And that's Mami if she was born in Remnant. I eventually plan on doing the others, though I have some problems figuring out what Homura's Huntress weapon should be, given her pragmatic nature.

See ya on Third!
