A mysterious Faunus who doesn't particularly keep anyone close or far away from her. Is into literature and strangely, blades. Doesn't cause trouble, is always at the library, and most people don't really know who her family is because she come from a different kingdom.

A quiet heiress who is incredibly intelligent and hard working. Is musically gifted. Everyone wants to be close to her for various purposes and none of them are good. Is a good student, every teacher likes her, loves staying at the academy's west wing where there is a piano and because nobody is usually there, everybody knows her family, the Schnee.
