Please fill out every portion, except possibly the orientation section if it does not apply to you and the other section since it is not necessary unless you need it.

Walking so tenderly on eggshells here butYang has the eyes for the guys, as she openly appreciates the co-ed conditions of the first night sleeping arrangements. Though ultimately getting along personality-wise is the important thing.Yang Xiao Long || RWBY || reserved [2/3]
Appearance: 1 ♥ 2 ♥ 3 ♥ 4
Personality:
Yet every misshapen spark's unseen beauty is greater than its would be judgement.”
Strutting into a club full of baddies with her head held high and hips in sway, ask some questions, and then proceeding to break some heads; Yang makes one hell of an initial impression. Yellow as a color is very bright, warm, inviting, energetic, but also blinding. Put simply, Yang is an extroverted firecracker who likes punching her problems away. But come at her and you’ll see, she’s more than meets the eye.
Yang isn’t someone who wears a mask per say, in fact she tends to wear her emotions right on her sleeves, but like with all people it takes more than a scratch to get under the surface. On the surface, yes she is an eager and confident blondie who takes things as they go without too much seriousness. Well, she’s serious when she needs to be. She’s a teenager through and through: liking parties, liking watching hot guys in pajamas, liking boy bands, gets easily distracted in class, so on and so forth. She also has the tendency to speak before she thinks. Like the kind of tendency that has her asking a question only to have it explained immediately after. Sortof a foot-in-mouth deal, but she never gets embarrassed by it. She more or less just shrugs it off and keeps on keeping on. On top of that, she is hot
with huge tracks of landand she knows it. Looking at how she dresses, she’s not afraid to flaunt it. In fact, it’s actually an advantage. There are plenty of guys who look at her like a partygirl dumb blond, and Yang expects anyone dumb enough to think that’s all there is to her also deserves the overdue buttkicking. Who says she can’t flirt a bit before punching them in the face?How she fights also gives some clue-ins on what kind of girl Yang is. Yang fights very aggressively, swinging hit after hit, weaving and dodging when she has to, and she does all of this with a smirk plastered on her face. The more she fights, the faster and harder she goes at it (that is until someone hits her button, but that’s not important yet). And that’s how Yang usually tackles most situations: with plenty of gusto and fearlessness. Grabbing a guy’s plums to get information out of him? No problem. Yang does have a motorbike and there is the whole thing about her having basically wrist mounted shotguns, so saying she might be an adrenalin junkie is one heck of an understatement. There are times where she can be a teensy bit intense and blows up, but it’s never completely inappropriate and it doesn’t last long. It just happens if there’s just enough crazy going on and she needs the 2 seconds.
This attitude also comes in when it comes to being social, as Yang goes right for it without hesitating for a second. See: her chipper mood when introducing herself to Blake and dragging Ruby along for the ride. Yang clearly likes people, getting to know them, and hearing their stories. It’s easy to get her hooked into a good campfire story. She always gives a person the benefit of the doubt, especially if they’re friends and if she’s clearly missing both sides of the story. That saying, if there is going to be an obvious clash in personalities, person is an obvious baddie, or if they’re just plain weird, Yang will dismiss the notion. After that it’ll take some forced interactions with the other party to give her a little change in opinion, like say having to work with Weiss.
One of Yang’s biggest traits, and most visible once you get them in a room together, is her devotion as Ruby’s big sister. Heck, she got her own track on the ost about how much she loves and cares for Ruby, how she’ll always be there for Ruby whenever she needs help, and all that good big sister goodness. If she’s proud of Ruby, she’s very open about it. Especially in the overly-eager hugging department. There’s a log to be proud of when it comes to Ruby, as Yang doesn’t seem to be at all jealous or annoyed that her younger sister made it to the academy two years early and was made team leader. But like with most siblings, with the love comes the tough love. There are times that Ruby just needs a little push when it comes to trying new things, and Yang is well on hand to provide. Sure, she has no problem shoving Ruby into making friends with over eagerness and the tendency of ditching, but she does this for Ruby’s benefit more than her own. Okay a little benefit to her, because gotta hang out with friends somehow. She just doesn’t think it’s healthy for Ruby to be glued to her hip without even trying to make a friend or two.
So yeah, Yang will mostly take it easy all the time. But remember: don’t touch the hair. Yang is very proud, slightly over possessive, of her hair and anything who manages to snag a strand or five will meet her fist repeatedly. She likes to flaunt her looks, but her hair is more special. It’s long, it’s poofy, it’s lovely, and she takes extra good care of it. So when somebody walks in and ruins her hard work like that, yeah, there’s going to be fire and there’s going to be skulls broken.
In conclusion, Yang is a big old ball of fun and explosions who loves her little sister and loves busting in the door.
Abilities:
Being the bruiser of the team, naturally Yang needs the crazy strength that one would expect from the girl who wins by punching things in the face. And crazy strength she has in droves. She can easily punch an opponent through walls or several trees without breaking a sweat. Yang’s fighting style is very much inspired by boxing, looking at her stance and the way she dodges attacks. And as an action girl in and action show, Yang also has insane endurance.
So what better weapon for a boxer to have than something to give their punches a little more bang. She wields a set of gauntlets called the Ember Celica, and these gauntlets are actually Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets. While looking like a set of bracelets when not in use, the weapons actually fold out into the armor once their activated. Loaded with 12 shells each, her punches then launch a shotgun-like burst. This burst can be used short-ranged in hand to hand or can be launched at a distance for less impact, depending on the ammunition she loads into it.
To go with her fiery personality, Yang’s semblance has to do with fire, so her hair sometimes starts emitting fire. This comes with her getting more intense in a fight, and the explody part comes when someone messes with her hair. Her eyes also turn from purple to red when this happens, all going with the fire theme.
Other: She burns.
Yang Xiao Long || RWBY || reserved [3/3]
First Person:
[Weird day can’t stop the wild teenage girl from immediately messing with her new phone. And hit record here-]
Welp. Sure wasn’t expecting any of this when I crashed last night. I’m more used to not waking up in a new place with a new family and no obvious way to get in touch with anyone back home. But hey, got a new phone for the trouble. That’s something. [Shrug. Hey at least there is some kind of bright side here. Somewhat.]
So this all is likely being broadcasted to everyone here? Probably should make an intro, huh? Name’s Yang, and I’m looking for a few people. Their names are Ruby, Weiss, and Blake, so if any of the names ring a bell, I could really use the heads up. Especially Ruby, since I don’t think she’ll be too happy that I got a new sibling to replace her.
[And if Ruby is listening, sorry sis.]
Also, is it normal for stuff to go missing too? Because I’m in my normal clothes, but my Ember Celica are just gone. They look like a pair of gold bracelets if anyone’s seem them. Not the kind of things you want falling into the wrong hands if you know what I mean.
Third Person:
There are people who, after finding themselves in a place like this, would stay indoors, shut the curtain, and hope the crazy dream was a passing thing. Yang? No, she definitely wasn’t one of those people. Sticking in one place too long, especially when there was plenty of new to see, she couldn’t pass the opportunity up. So, first chance she got she was out the door and out on the street. A nice walk alone was always a good way to get the thoughts together anyway; exploring, getting her thoughts straight, it was killing two birds with one stone.
“Brr.” One cold stone. She just had to show up right when it was hitting winter. It was a little bit brisk outside, give it time and it was probably going to get colder. Right now it wasn’t too much of a bother, but grabbing a coat from the store just jumped up on the priorities list. Reaching into her pocket, Yang pulled out the credit card she got when she was working on that lease. “Five hundred big ones huh? Probably won’t last long, but hey, I like the color.” With a smirk, Yang put the card back where it belongs as she continued to walk aimlessly throughout the neighborhood. She’ll worry about money when it gets to be a problem.
“Boy, sure is quiet around here.” Back of her mind she began to ponder what kind of people was she going to meet in a place like this? Everything was so pristine, clean, and most of all quiet, felt just a little eerie. Hopefully the people didn’t match the neighborhood; else this was all going to get really dull really fast. And when it gets dull, Yang starts yelling. “Hello? Anyone around?” When was something good going to happen?
