“My name is Corey ‘Gold’ Tokiwa,  I'm just a Faunus, I have cat ears as an extra pair of ears.” My hands take off my hood to reveal them in the mirror. “I wear a black cloak to conceal them. I think of them as a burden half the time. I was accepted as a student at Beacon Academy. A school for Huntsman and Huntresses. We fight creatures called Grimm.” I throw my hood back one before anyone sees me. I keep my true eye color hidden, I wear contacts to help me see. I was born with silver eyes like my mother who has two silver eyes. She is the reason why I was born a Faunus. I have everyone believe that they are blue with the help of my contacts, it makes it look like I have two blue eyes.

I don't blame her for me being me. I see my Faunus traits as a burden. My father, Sora Tokiwa, was a human soldier. My mom Angela Silver-Towika was a model for Atlas. They moved to Menagerie after my brother was born. She didn't want us to be deprived of our heritage as animalistic Humans. My baby sister Amber Towika was born human. That's enough about my family for now.

Let me back up a bit. My life on the Run with an organization called the White Fang. I took out a bullet on a golden chain.  It was a reminder of what I needed to fix by atoning. My friend from Menagerie, Blake Belladonna, was attending. 

I heard a door slammed behind me, I nearly jumped out of my skin. It was a cowboy-dressed individual with blue eyes. He has brown hair and no weapons. Strangely, he doesn't look like someone who doesn't use any kind of weapon.

“Hello?” He asked in a thick Atlas accent.

“H-h-hi.” I stuttered a bit.

“Who are you?” He asked me.

“Corey Gold Towika Silver,” I got myself to say. “I prefer Just a Passing through Faunus… I mean Hunter, you better remember that.” I add sarcasm to that last part.

“Donald 'Dan' Crimson.” He extended his hand. “I'll remember that just a passing through Faunus. That's a great joke.”

I shook his hand but I felt like I had met him somewhere before. “So what do you use to fight?” Dan questions me.

“I fight with…” I sighed and two gauntlets appeared from the cloak. They had claws built-in and a chamber for bullets or dust. “I call them Fated Hour.”

“Nice name for an Edge lord.” Dan teases. “I don't use a weapon. I rely on my Semblance of Stubbornness. It lets me double my strength with every hit I take.”

“What about when your Aura breaks?” A girl with Violet eyes walked towards us.

“I usually don't worry about that.” Dan took off his hat. “I usually have my enemies down before I worry about that.”

“I create Shadow clones.” I shrug but my eyes are drawn towards the girl with Blonde-hair.  She drew my attention.

I saw her on the plane earlier. I stepped away from these two. I didn't know the girl but her Violet eyes I feel like I had seen her before. I walked over to the girl with Blonde hair.

“How's your first day going, little sister?” She asked Crater Face  

“You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?” She had silver eyes like me.

“Yikes! Meltdown already?” The blonde-haired girl.

Ruby replied “No, I exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?”

Yang smiling broadly “Are you being sarcastic?”

Ruby scoffs as Weiss right next to her “I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!”
