She gave a big sigh.
There was no game out today. So much for her last day on the hunt.
She packed up what little game she had, hooked her sniper rifle onto her back and headed back to camp.
She was an attractive girl, at least that's what all the men at the camp say. Long red hair that almost reached her knees, held up by two yellow pins. A maroon jacket with orange flames down the sleeves covered her arms and shoulders, as well as a scarf that she could duck into to hide her nose and mouth. A black bikini top with red flame patterns covered her rather ample chest, exposing her stomach. Black short shorts held up by a white belt lead to thigh high white boots.
But the most recognizable thing about her was the skull shaped hairpin in the front of her hair.
She was just 5 years old when her home was taken from her by the White Fang. She didn't know who from her small village of Littner survived, if any at all. But after running for sometime through a forest, exhaustion took its toll on the girl. That was when a savior in black and red found her and took her to the camp.
Raven.
The girl owes Raven everything. Raven took her in and gave her shelter, food and a place in the Branwen tribe. She even gave her a new name.
Rikako. Raven said it meant "strong one." She trained the girl to better fit the name. After discovering her superb shooting skills, Raven trained her to use a sniper rifle.
The sniper rifle was electrically powered, so she can swap out bullets for arrows and dust if she chooses. A single edged blade rests on the edge of the barrel. The handle appears to have joints so that it can rotate into a katana handle.
She finally makes it to the edge of the camp, where Vernal is keeping watch.
"You've come back nearly empty handed." Vernal smirks at the girl.
"Yeah, well you try and hunt where we know Grimm and other wild animals have been, then maybe you'll appreciate the trouble." The girl fires back.
"I'm going to miss your complaining, Yoko. How you even managed to convince Raven to let you go to Beacon is beyond me." Vernal smiled.
"Well….., it wasn't me per say. She actually asked me if I wanted to go there. She said she would allow it if I did something for her while I was there." Yoko spoke her thoughts.
"Well, whatever. Come on. I'm sure the boss wants to give you a proper send off." Vernal said as she started into the camp. Yoko smiled and followed her in.
Several hours later, she found herself on an airship. She glanced around and saw a multitude of strange people. The blonde girl teasing the raven haired with red highlights. The guy puking in the bathroom on the ship. The raven boy with a pink strand being pestered by a redhead who looked like she was having a sugar rush. The two white haired girls sitting and talking on a bench. The maroon haired girl talking to a navy blue haired man.
But none of that was particularly interesting to her. She was more annoyed with the blue haired idiot who was parading around declaring something about manliness.
Hopefully she wasn't going to see him a lot at Beacon.
