Emerald Sustrai

Emerald Sustrai is a 21 years old woman. Emerald has dark chocolate skin, red eyes, and mint green hair tied in two long locks. Emerald has perky, C-cup breasts. Emerald is fit and athletic, with an hourglass figure. Emerald wears a white biker jacket over a mint green crop top, white skinny jeans, and brown plated boots, a red gem pendant, and a holster at her waist to hold her weapons. Emerald’s weapons are Thief’s Respite, a pair of dual-wielded pistols that can also be converted into a pair of kama, the blades of which can detach and be swung from chains as kusarigama. Emerald’s semblance is Hallucinations, and allows her to create individual illusions by manipulating her target’s senses. Emerald is a skilled thief, adept at lockpicking, sneaking, and pickpocketing. Emerald is good at acting and pretending to be friendly.

Emerald is outgoing, quick-witted, short-fused, childish, petty, mocking, cynical, ruthless, unapologetic, sarcastic, and selfish. Emerald likes easy money, books, having a full belly, and getting on Mercury’s nerves. Emerald dislikes cheery and happy people, Tyrian Callows, and starving.

Emerald was originally a street rat in Mistral, living off of stealing to feed herself. One day, Cinder Fall found her and recruited her, promising to keep her safe and fed in exchange for her services. Emerald quickly became very loyal toward Cinder, seeking to please her and viewing her with rose-tinted glasses. Under Cinder’s leadership, along with Mercury Black, Emerald helped cause the Fall of Beacon, and with it the death of millions. The scope of the destruction Emerald helped caused disturbed her, but she stayed loyal to Cinder. After the Fall of Beacon, Emerald met Cinder’s master, which is Salem, the Queen of the Grimm. On Salem’s orders, Emerald worked with Cinder, Mercury, Hazel, and Adam to try and destroy Haven Academy and capture the Lamp of Knowledge, but they were thwarted by Team RWBY and their friends. After the battle of Haven, Salem and her forces focused on Atlas, where Team RWBY brought the relic. Salem took to the field herself, commanding an army of Grimm against the city, but between Cinder treating Emerald callously and Emerald discovering Salem’s true goal was to destroy Remnant, Emerald defected on Team RWBY’s side. Hazel Rainart, one of Salem’s agents, died protecting Emerald from Salem during her defection. At first, Emerald just defected out of self-preservation, but Team RWBY managed to convince her to stay and help, instead of running away on her own. However, despite fighting alongside Team RWBY, Salem still destroyed Atlas, and took both the Lamp of Knowledge and the Staff of Creation. Team RWBY did manage to evacuate most of Atlas and Mantle to Vacuo, but were ambushed by Cinder in the portal’s pathways they had created with the Staff of Creation, and Team RWBY, alongside Jaune Arc, fell off the pathway. Emerald is currently in Vacuo with the Atlesian refugees, where what is left of Mankind is trying to mount a defense against Salem, who is projected to attack Vacuo in the coming months. Team RWBY and Jaune haven’t resurfaced since they fell down the portal’s pathways, and are assumed KIA. Due to formerly being a minion of Salem, Emerald isn’t particularly trusted by others.
