Coco and Velvet: Bond

Coco Adel Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 6'0 in heels. Appearance: Coco is a young woman with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel. Carries a Scroll, which is both a phone and tablet. Personality: Coco appears to be very confident, her self-assurance is expressed in the very way she struts through the battlefield. Her experience with Grimm has been consistent enough that their appearance no longer fazes her. Coco is confident enough in her team that she holds Velvet back from combat when she tries to unleash her weapon. She is also seen slapping Fox Alistair on his bottom as she compliments his performance. Her confidence is later seen when she states that she likes Emerald Sustrai after her initial taunting of her. There is also a touch of sportsmanship and open-mindedness in showing appreciation for Emerald despite being opponents who sass each other. She claims to love a challenge and being first in things. However, the confident, self-assured way Coco carries herself can be disrupted. This is first seen during the episode "Lessons Learned" when her hands began trembling after realizing she saw Yatsuhashi Daichi when he was not actually there. Additionally, Coco contemplates the definition of being a leader, looking to others, such as Ozpin or Glynda Goodwitch, as examples of what good leadership means. Originally, Coco was a very individualistic person, but her time in Beacon taught her to trust and lean on her team for support. Still, she was fairly self-centered in Vacuo, something which angered Velvet at times. Over time, this self-centeredness evolved into a protective nature of her team, defending them from even those who she admires, such as when she defended Velvet from Xanthe Rumpole. Coco's three favorite things are fashion, explosions, and killing Grimm, thus joining Beacon Academy allowed her to combine all three. Given her attire and her reaction to both the Grimm's destruction of her "favorite clothing store" and her sunglasses getting damaged in the course of her duel with Emerald, fashion is strongly integrated into her personality. Coco has a habit of using the cover provided by her sunglasses to discreetly evaluate other people. They also mask her own reactions to things. Despite being easily distracted by attractive women, Coco has shown the ability to move on and refocus on the task at hand quickly. She understands that physical appearance is not a person's most important attribute. Instead, character and ability are more valuable traits to her when selecting a romantic or combat partner. She has claustrophobia due to a childhood incident where she got stuck in a cupboard during a game of hide-and-seek. Following Team CFVY's mission at Lower Cairn, Coco had been off her game, being slightly less capable than usual due to the traumatic incident. She is also shown to be demanding of her team, willing to go through with her plans despite her team protesting against them, and is judgmental of other people's leaders. Furthermore, she looks up to great Huntresses such as Rumpole or Glynda Goodwitch as role models for herself. Nonetheless, Coco's biggest flaw is the belief that she is perfect or close to it, making her stuck up and judgmental. Likes: Shopping + Fashion + Coffee + Her team + Her appearance. Dislikes: Judgemental people + Prejudice + Injustice + Her team being hurt + Ruined clothes + Sunglasses being damaged. Occupation: Third-year student at Shade Academy. Skills: In combat, Coco is not dependent on her weapon, as she is shown kicking a large Grimm to the ground before staring it down. Coco is shown to be mostly a heavy hitter with little-to-no maneuverability when handling her weapon; during her match against Emerald and Mercury, she relied entirely on Yatsuhashi to defend her. After being dragged away by Emerald, however, she displayed enough agility to dodge Emerald's bullets with relative ease, but had to stow her minigun to do so. Powers: Coco has a brown aura to enhance the body and protect her from fatal harm. Coco's Semblance, Hype, allows her to use her Aura to increase the effects and power of Dust. For example, she uses this to power the effect of Gianduja's bullets, exponentially amplifying their raw power. Weapon: Coco's weapon of choice is Gianduja, a handbag minigun. History: Coco Adel is a second-year student at Beacon Academy and the leader of Team CFVY, consisting of Fox Alistair, Velvet Scarlatina and Yatsuhashi Daichi. Her weapon of choice is Gianduja, a handbag that can transform into a rotary cannon. Velvet Scarlatina Gender: Female Age: 19 Species: Faunus Height: 5'6 Appearance: Velvet has fair skin, long brown straight hair and deep brown eyes, a curvy body. Pink lips, she also has a pair of brown rabbit ears, identifying her as a Faunus. Carries a Scroll, which is both a phone and tablet. Personality: Shy and socially inept, Velvet has a friendly and warm demeanour, completely kind to others and even empathetic. She can be easy to push around, having some pressure by the expectations of her Dad, and easy to be bullied. But she can still fight, and will always be there when others need it. Friends: Coco Adel + Fox Alistair + Yatsuhashi Daichi. Likes: Photography + Nature + Self improvement + Helping others. Dislikes: Bullying + Prejudice + Pressuring expectations. Occupation: Third-year student at Shade Academy. Skills: Velvet is quite athletic, and brilliant at photography. Highly compassionate, and is unafraid to stand up for herself and her friends when the going gets tough. While Velvet is a less skilled hand-to-hand fighter, she is a quicker combatant. Still, this doesn't keep her from being defeated in a sparring match. Powers: Like all would-be Huntresses, Velvet has a brown aura to defend herself. Velvet's Semblance, Photographic Memory, allows her to mimic the exact moves that other people have learned and used in combat to a degree. However, her Semblance does not allow her to mimic the Semblances and capabilities of others or perform moves that are a direct result of another person's Semblance. Velvet uses her Semblance in conjunction with Anesidora in order to accurately wield the weapons that she copies. Weapon: Velvet's weapon of choice is Anesidora, a camera which uses Hard-Light Dust to make copies of weapons she has photographed, which last for a few hits. Using this weapon in conjunction with her Semblance gives her the ability to mimic the fighting styles and abilities of other Huntsmen. However, she is not able to fully utilize a copy of a weapon, as she does not have the power to mimic the Semblance relating to a weapon's full capabilities. Each weapon copy can only be used once, after which point she must take a new photograph to have access to the copy again. As such, she rarely uses her weapon, deferring to Coco to let her know when the time is right and resorting to martial arts in most engagements. While she originally had a constant supply of Hard-Light Dust to power it in the past due to her father's connections to the Atlas Military, she was forced to only use her weapon sparingly after General Ironwood put a Dust Embargo in effect. History: Born in Atlas, Velvet was pressured to accomplish great things by her father, who worked with the Atlas Military. This brought insecurity and doubts to the young woman, drawing her to leave and forge her own path, signing up for Beacon Academy in Vale and becoming a team with her new best friends in the form of Coco Adel, Fox Alistair and Yatsuhashi Daichi, with Coco the leader of Team CFVY. Despite being bullied and ridiculed for her faunus appearance, Velvet persevered and strived to become a Huntress and do good.
