Daniella Intro.

Daniella shook herself from her stupor just in time to avoid the crew checking for stowaways. Her black cloak concealing her form as she crept behind stacks of crates headed for Beacon academy.

'Pay for a ticket they said, nah, stowing away is easier, cheaper, and more fun.' She mused as the hapless and inattentive guards failed to notice her. The clunk of landing gear deploying, and silencing of engines signaled that the craft had touched down.

'Time to sneak out the back.' A coin clinking to the ground provided enough of a distraction for her to exit the ship and blend in with the others leaving from the front exit. Aside from her rather attractive figure and abilities as a thief, she could hardly be distinguished from anyone else if she wished not to be seen. The cloak that fell down her back and stopped just shy of the ground also allowed her to pass for a male, so long as she didn't speak.

'Why are guys so stupid?' A mountain of a student had flattened someone much smaller than he was. She just shook her head. A female had slumped to the ground in front of her. 'How did I not notice her sooner.'

"You ok?" She asked.

"Yeah, I just need a minute." The girl replied.

Daniella merely raised an eyebrow at the red caped girl.

"I'm Ruby by the way." The girl got to her feet.

"Daniella."

"Have you seen a blonde girl with a brown duster on? She is my sister and I am trying to find her."

"I can't say I have, but I'll keep an eye out." Her tone flat as she did not mean the words she spoke.

"Thanks!" Ruby spoke excitedly.

"I gotta go. See you around."

"Yeah, see you around."

'Ugh, what was her problem. Oooh, who is that?' She spied a very muscular female. 'But even with those muscles, damn. Let's get to her.' Crossing the courtyard, she checked her scroll. 'A message from my brother. What could he want?'

"Hey sis, heard you made it into Beacon. Shame you didn't tell me, I could've flown you there. Ah, never mind. You still owe me for using our score to feed those kids. I'll be by sometime this semester, and you better have the cash."

Daniella almost threw her scroll on the ground, but she resisted the urge and just stamped her foot instead.

'What a prick. I try to help some kids, who are in the same position as we are, but can't fend for themselves, and what do I get? An angry brother. Nope, not gonna' let this ruin my day.' She shook her head.

"Something wrong?" Elise had approached her.

"Woah, how did you sneak up on me?"

"You were distracted. Oh, I should probably introduce myself. I am Elise Fuchs. It's nice to meet you." The wolf Faunus extended her hand.

She accepted the handshake. "Daniella. And yeah it is nice, you seem to be the only normal person here."

"That's good, I think. Anyway, what do you think of Beacon so far? It's stunning isn't it?" The Valkyrie motioned around the campus.

"It's nice." The rogue shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway, what was that about earlier?"

"Hmm?" She gave a curious look.

"You and the two guys, the strong one and the one who probably picked the wrong profession."

"Oh, you must be talking about Aurelius and, hmm, I must have forgotten his name, shame." She did not look at all concerned.

"Aurelius the big guy?"

"No, he was the nice one. He distracted the big one long enough for me to intimidate him."

"He still got flattened by one punch."

"I think he has a concussion from earlier."

"Riiiiigggghhhht, a 'concussion'." Dani stated, making air quotes around concussion. "Are you sure he isn't a pushover?"

"I've been wrong before. Anything interesting happen to you?"

"I stowed away to avoid paying, so there's that. That and meeting you. Wow, With my skill and your muscles we could go far you know."

"How so?"

"I unlock the door and sneak in. If I get caught I signal you and you tear them to shreds. It's perfect."

"You really should pay for things."

"Why, makes life less fun."

Elise had no way to respond to that.

"I better get going, don't want to be late to check in." Daniella parted with a teasing wink and wave, disappearing into the crowd after. 'I want her on my team. Ah well, time to get going.'
