It was summer and Blake was feeling it more than most, she needed a job badly to maintain her apartment she had acquired for breaks from Beacon. She of course could stay with her partner Yang, by she was living with her dad and sister Ruby; as well as her uncle from time to time when their father went on archaeological digs, considering he changed careers from Huntsman to Archaeologist. So Blake looked through the newspaper looking for any kind of employment a young Faunus could do, without it being either criminal or discriminating. Luckily she saw and address for one and decided to check it out.

"This can't be right" Blake said looking at the building realising it was a fashion label "Why would these guys be hiring Faunus if it's what label I think it is" Blake decided to tread carefully from here on out. She didn't want to walk head first in a trap, so she slowly approached opening the door until she was sure everything was okay

"Excuse me are you here for the job?" a delicate voice asked

"So what if I am?" Blake asked

"Then I'm Kori Schnee" Kori said, she was in her late teens early twenties with titian hair and warm green eyes, nothing like the usual silvery white or platinum blonde hair and blue eyes all other Schnee. she also had a few freckles across her nose. If one could classify her as a season it would be summer as opposed to the rest of her family's winter theme.

"Not what you were expecting huh?" Kori asked smiling as she noticed Blake was caught off guard by the girl

"Um, no it wasn't" Blake said blinking in surprised

"That's okay come on, want to do a test shoot to see if you have the ability to?" Kori asked.

"Ability?" Blake asked

"To see if you have an ability to shine on a photo shoot" Kori said winking before pulling Blake to the back area.

"Um I really don't feel comfortable about this" Blake said covering her chest with her arms while Kori looked for something

"Man I think this one will do nicely" Kori said producing a little black dress with white lace trim, "Now do you want your bow on or off, if you want it off we coulkd possibly remove them in post if you want" Kori said

"No its okay, my ears and bow will be fine in the picture" Blake said as she slipped the dress on and smoothed it out.

"Okay let's try it on the set" Kori said leading her out to the studio area.

To say Blake was in awe at the studio setting was correct. She had never been in a photographic studio before mostly because of her heritage, and yet here was a member of the Schnee Family offering her a chance to do so, which was a little bizzare for her.

"I know what you're thinking" a voice said making her look over to someone using a light table and a laptop "Why would a Schnee family member choose a Faunus?" he said "Well it's because she doesn't want to continue the hostilities with the Faunus, so she decided to hire one and see how it turned out" the photographer said looking up

"Nice to meet you I'm Trip Upperton" Trip said smiling as he held out his hand which was covered by a brown leather fingerless glove, Trip had a dirty blonde bird nest for a head of hair, dark green eyes and a small goatee

"I'm Blake" Blake smiled "so what happens now?" Blake asked

"First comes the stylist and makeup artist to give you a bit of a touch up and then I take your picture, but first hold on" Trip said taking out an old film camera and taking a shot

"It's so that I can have a record of a model's natural beauty. I have got to say you look simply stunning with that bow and the purple eyeshadow" Trip said making notes in a leather bound book

"Um...thanks?" Blake asked "And what's with the book?"

"Oh this, just a little something I can give to the hair and makeup girls for a model's particular look" Trip said "Something that most photographers don't do but Kori seems not to mind it" Trip said

"It's actually helped us a lot" Kori said walking over to the table "How was the formalwear shoot?" she asked "Anything good?"

"Here, I've just been going over both the digital photos on the laptop and the film negatives. Model 3 had a bit of a tear on the side"

"Thanks Trip, now can you do Blake's test shoot?" Kori asked

"Give me..." Trip started before glancing at the clock on his laptop "Five minutes?"

"Okay, now come on Blake" Kori giggled pushing the Faunus away.

"Okay, so the reflectors are in place, lights are at optimal level and the set's good. All we need is Blake" Trip said

"Do you mean me?" Blake asked walking onto the set

"You look beautiful, now let's get to it" Tripp said as he starting to take the shots. With each shot Blake would change her pose a bit depending on what Kori and Tripp said to her; ranging for elegant to formal

"HEre try this" Kori said giving Blake a flower which Tripp then had taken a picture of her sitting on a sofa smelling the flower with her eyes closed, giving a romantic feel to the photo. After that photo Kori smiled and shouted that the shoot was finished as she walked over to Blake with a bottle of water

"Here" the manager said

"Thanks, I didn't think it would be so tiring" Blake smiled

"I know, but now you can head home and relax after a hard day's work" Kori said

"Thanks, so did I?" Blake asked

"See you next week" Kori said smiling as she left the Faunus "oh and by the way you can keep the dress"

"Thanks" Blake smiled going to get changed before she left
