The Weapon

WEAPON'S NAME: The katana, Aseryo

WEAPON'S HISTORY: Aseryo was hand crafted by Ariadne's father. Before it became her weapon, it was one of his swords. The sword itself is about twenty years old. It is the only thing she has to remind her of her father and is the most valuable item she owns.

UTILITY & APPEARANCE: Aseryo is a traditional katana. It was crafted using the finest steel and is infused with Silver Wind Dust. The blade often takes a silver, shimmering appearance and occasionally glimmers in the light; however, the blade clearly appears old and worn.

Aseryo was crafted to be the perfect weight for any wielder of any age or size. It fits perfectly for Ariadne, just as it did for her father. It allows the wielder to move at deadly speeds and was crafted to be easily drawn at a moment's notice. Being crafted with Wind Dust, Aseryo moves as though there is no resistance with the wind. The wind moves with the blade, making all slashes faster and more precise

Character Information

ALLIANCE: Huntress

HISTORY: Ariadne's story begins with her father, Remus Ward. He was born in a country far from Vale. Being an orphaned faunus in a country that did not appreciate faunus, Remus had a very rough childhood. In order to survive on the streets, he became a great thief and developed into a common criminal. As violence against faunus escalated, Remus also had to become a fighter to survive. When he was a mere boy of fourteen, Remus joined the Red Fang in order to gang protection.

All of a sudden, it became a lot more than just stealing; Remus had become a warrior. Years would pass and Remus would eventually make the decision to leave this life behind with the hopes that he could start a new life elsewhere; so, he abandoned the lifestyle entirely, including all his friends, and moved to Vale. There, he did the unthinkable: he fell in love with a human.

Ariadne's mother, Arwen Ryuuji, was a graduated Huntress of Beacon Academy. Something she often told Ariadne was that love was mysterious and bizarre and she could never explain why she fell for someone so different than herself. The human and the faunus had a human baby girl.

For the early years of her life, Ariadne lived happily with a mother and father. Her mother, who knew all about Remus' past, was able to forgive all that he once was in order to begin their new life together. Remus kept his promise and never kill, nor stole; he, just as Arwen did, hunted bounties to make a living.

From a young age, Ariadne wanted to be just like her parents. She played with practice swords constantly and begged her mother and father to teach her how to be a fighter. Eventually, she would get her wish; but, it came in an unfortunate and unexpected way.

Remus' past caught up with him. One evening, while Remus was on his way home from a trip, an assassin sneaked into the Ward household and slit Arwen's throat. Remus made it home before he could do the same to eleven year old Ariadne. For months, her father grieved in silence, wondering who it was he had wronged to deserve such a punishment.

Fearing that more assassins would come, Remus taught Ariadne how to wield his blade, Aseryo. For years, he practiced with her day in and day out, and taught her everything he knew about wielding the sword. When she was fifteen, Remus suddenly disappeared.

To this day, Ariadne does not know what happened to her father. She worked hard to get acceptance to Beacon Academy with the hope that she could become a Huntress and find piece in life; but, in secret, she hopes to travel the world, find her father, and find the assassin that killed her mother.

PERSONALITY: Ariadne is a person who is strong-willed, confident, and independent. She is a great fighter because she is persistent, eager to learn, and not a quiter; however, Ariadne is not a great team player because of her independence and hardheadedness. She'll often get too wrapped up in her own goals that may neglect and ignore her teammates.

Due to the loss of both her parents, Ariadne is not very friendly. She is often distant, lonesome, and untrusting of others. She fears loss more than anything and will neglect to make relationships so that she does not have to feel loss ever again. It can be difficult to get through to her and even more difficult to keep it that way.

She is naturally a fast learner and tends to have a great memory. Ariadne will often remember small things that other people would easily forget. She likes things to be in precise order and to make sense. She cannot stand people who are clingy, arrogant, or obnoxious.

Ariadne has a short temper, especially with people who she may think of as unintelligent. Lots of people would consider her a loose cannon, though she does not see herself as such. Ariadne is often more on the quiet side, but has no problem letting people know how she feels.

SEMBLANCE: Ariadne's semblance allows her to be swift, agile, and nimble. She is able to move almost flawlessly even while in a full sprint. She can easily change directions in a seconds notice and dash through narrow passages. Sometimes, Ariadne can also change direction while in mid-air, allowing her to redirect her angle.
