Jasmine Manteio

[Krim]

(Her hair is actually black)


Name: Jasmine Manteio


Age: 18


Gender: Female


Weapon: Wan Censer - A pair of gunblades infused with Smoke Dust, causing each shot to kick up smoke and obscure vision. The top of both gunblades can attach to one another, forming a large circular blade that can be thrown or swung.


Weapon Appearance: The gun portion resembles some simple 7-shot revolvers. The revolvers have a curved blade coming off the tip of each barrel, swerving downward a bit like the head of an axe or halberd. When the guns are combined, the blades extend into a full ring shape.


Skills: Jasmine's physical abilities are less impressive than some of her peers, but she makes up for this by using her semblance and training to be in the right place at the right time. She fights smarter, not harder. She also has skill in wilderness survival, gardening/herbalism, and singing.


Bio: Born in the wilds of Vale, Jasmine lived in a cottage with her family. Their defensible location and remoteness from other humans meant that Grimm rarely bothered coming near their home. That is, until one day when Jasmine was off hunting with her father, and the girl ran afoul of a Taijitu, a two-headed serpent-grimm. This one in particular spat a toxin, which blinded Jasmine and sent her reeling. Her father ushered her away from the beast, and stayed behind to keep it busy while she ran aimlessly into the forest. Unable to see where she was going, Jasmine couldn't find her way home until her mother finally heard her terrified shouting and led her back. Her father never returned, and the two of them knew they couldn't remain any longer. Now with a new home in Vale's crowded streets, Jasmine was fueled by a vengeful streak, and enrolled for training as a huntress - a line of work she had never considered until now.


Semblance: Augury


Though she has been left blind, Jasmine can reach out with her Aura and sense the world around her. With effort, she can also reach short distances through time, predicting the attacks of opponents before they even happen, or receiving visions of past events.


Other/Misc: Jasmine is based off of Tiresias, a mythical Greek oracle who was blinded in exchange for the power to predict the future. He struck a pair of snakes and was cursed by Hera to live as a woman for seven years. In RWBY, mythical figures who swapped genders (Mulan, Thor, Joan of Arc, Achilles, etc.) actually are that gender, so Jasmine is female as a result.


Theme Song: Kidneythieves - Invisible Plan
