*Sylvia's POV (10 years old)*
Menagerie, a place where only faunus are welcomed and a few exceptions like my aunt Coco and uncles Yatsu and Fox...
It was a peaceful day, people yet again looking at me because after all I am a daughter of the owner of The Strict Phase, the most famous band in all of Remnant, even though I never really listened to their songs or when they made concerts I didn't go because of school... or rather the people in it.
I was right now walking to my next class and opposite me was some guy and a girl that was pinned to a wall
???: "Please let me be!"
Guy: "Tch... you're too friendly with that Sylvia Do-it-for-Fame Belladonna."
???: "I don't know what you have against her... she isn't going in her parent's step."
Guy: "Stop it Vixen... her parents are famous, she has whatever she wants..."
Vixen: "Just because you're poor doesn't mean she has to do it for fame or because of her parents." He slapped her.
Guy: "I'm not poor you hear?"
Sylvia: "LET HER BE!!!" The two of them looked around Vixen scared and that guy with a smirk.
Guy: "Or what? You gonna call your parents and tell them to sue me?"
Sylvia: "I could do that yes... but I'm not like that you know... it's not my fault I was born to the Belladonna family. Yes I admit my parents are rich but I don't care about that money."
Guy: "Then you don't mind giving it to me right? Be a friend Sylvia."
Sylvia: "And donate to the likes of you? Bullies? You can only wish!"
Guy: "You'll pay!" He charged at me but I dodged his attack and slapped him.
???: "Enough!" It was a voice of my least favourite teacher. He was always against me.
Teacher: "Sylvia Belladonna... you attacked your classmate... go to the principal's office!"
Vixen: "She didn't do anything! That bully charged at her!"
Buy: "I didn't do that."
Sylvia: "You know how it ends Vixen... don't worry about me."
Vixen: "But someone-"
Sylvia: "We can't do anything..."
Teacher: "I said something Belladonna! Do you want a detention?" I rolled my eyes and went to the office.
I arrived there and the principal looked at me.
Principal: "What did you do this time Sylvia?"
Sylvia: "Self-defence!"
Principal: "Liar... I'll call your parents!"
Sylvia: "Please do as you wish..." He did so and soon after the doors opened revealing my mom, Velvet Belladonna.
Velvet: "What's the problem?"
Principal: "Sylvia over there just attacked a classmate."
Velvet: "Sylvia?! Attack someone?" I saw Vixen behind her.
Vixen: "It's all a lie."
Mom sat on a chair and Vixen entered as well as we stood next to each other.
Principal: "You should go to your class Hilsner!"
Velvet: "How was it then?"
Vixen: "It was self-defense.."
Sylvia: "I admit I slapped him but it was like Vixen said."
Velvet: "Sylvia clearly has a witness... what about you?" The principal started to sweat but then a smirk appeared as he showed her a camera footage... where I was the one charging. "Care to explain young lady?"
Vixen: "That's a fake!"
Sylvia: "I didn't do anything."
Principal: "Hilsner is just covering her so she won't get into trouble."
Velvet: "That's a very wrong thing to do... be ashamed..." even though she looked angry she winked at us. "Is it okay if I take Sylvia with me?"
Principal: "Please do as you say." We left the office, Vixen behind us, luckily it was mid-lesson otherwise the bullying I got and Vixen too because of me would never stop. We left the school.
Velvet: "So how was it? Vixen?"
Vixen: "Like I said... some guy was bullying me because I am friend with Sylvia and then she stepped in... that guy charged at her, she slapped him and then we were in the office."
Velvet: "I see, so this school only bullies my daughter, same as the times we were called before."
Sylvia: "Yeah..." I looked away.
Velvet: "You'll get transfered Sylvia... no saying no this time."
Syvia: "But mom-"
Velvet: "I don't exactly like my daughter being bullied and neither does your dad."
Sylvia: "I know... but-"
Velvet: "So starting next week you'll go to different school."
Sylvia: "But I don't wanna leave Vixen behind..."
Vixen: "Sylvia I'll manage it..."
Sylvia: "I refuse!"
Velvet: "Vixen... if they will bully you they will still continue with it... are you okay with that?"
Vixen: "Well not exactly but-"
Velvet: "Then we'll go to your parents and you will tell them you want to go to other school.... with Sylvia."
Vixen: "I don't wanna trouble them."
Velvet: "I'll explain it to them. I'm sure they will understand." Vixen only made a defeated expression.
Vixen: "Alright." We got on the way. It was in silence... until Vixen asked again. "Do you have any new songs out?"
Velvet: "Ah yes. We do." She gave her headphones. "Just finished it." And played it while she put the headphones on.

Vixen: "Ah I see... return to the origins right?"
Velvet: "Yes you can say that."
Vixen: "It's so awesome!"
Sylvia: "I bet it is."
Vixen: "Why don't you listen to it Sylvia?"
Sylvia: "Because of the bullies."
Velvet: "You're transferring, sweetie."
Sylvia: "I know, I'm just... worried about the new school."
Vixen: "Then let's make a bet!"
Sylvia: "W-Wha? What about?"
Vixen: "If you will get bullied within a week after the transfer you'll have to listen to your parent's music... and if you won't... well we'll go to karaoke and I'll sing."
Velvet: "Why karaoke? You can sing in the studio..."
Sylvia: "Yeah... the studio... but wait hearing you sing again? For the laugh why not."
Vixen: "What? What do you mean for the laugh? I'm a great singer!"
Velvet: "You're not... remember that one time you invited us to listen to you sing? Everyone in a ten mile radius would rather die."
Vixen: "That hurt... especially coming from you Mrs. Belladonna."
Velvet: "Cruel truth is always better to say."
Vixen: "Why you hurt me so much."
Sylvia: "Sorry... well then we should probably go."
Velvet: "Right... next week you'll start in a different school I promise that."
Vixen: "Alright." The way was in silence people we passed looking at Mrs. Belladonna like she was some kind of an idol... well I don't blame them... she kind of is.
Velvet: "If this was past me."
Sylvia: "What do you mean mom?"
Velvet: "I mean... if I was younger... around your age I'd run away if this many people were looking at me."
Vixen: "What changed you?" We arrived to the front doors and I knocked... mom is home for sure. She said she will. Meanwhile Velvet smiled.
Velvet: "Y/N... He changed me a lot... back then I was scared and shy and I wasn't sure of anything but... I was slowly gaining confidence after I met him."
Sylvia: "Really?"
Velvet: "Yes, oum girls you just reminded me how much I love him and how much he means to me... thank you."
The doors weren't opening and I forgot my keys... just my luck. I knocked again then. Louder this time.
Sylvia: "I can't imagine you being shy." Finally the doors opened... revealing my mom, Jimra Hilsner, she was a monkey faunus just like me... I had blonde hair while she had black but I had her dark blue eyes... unfortunetaly I never met my dad but mom said he was a womanizer... whatever that word means.
Jimra: "Vixen, what are you doing here so- uhhmmm... Mrs. Belladonna?"
Velvet: "How many times have I told you to call me Velvet."
Jimra: "I'm sorry... well come in."
Velvet: "It's okay." We did as mom said and went to the kitchen... we sat around a table.
Jimra: "Why aren't you two in school?"
Velvet: "Bullied."
Jimra: "What... again Sylvia?"
Sylvia: "Not only me this time... Vixen too."
Vixen: "Put me on the spotlight like that why don't you."
Jimra: "Vixen? What happened?"
Sylvia: "She was just... it was not protection... standing up for me... yeah that."
Velvet: "That's why I came here actually... I won't just stand there and do nothing when I see how the teachers handle bullying... that's why I said Sylvia will transfer to another school."
Jimra: "Okay? And why are you telling me this?"
Velvet: "Because Sylvia won't go unless Vixen will."
Sylvia: "Yeah I mean... it's not fair... if I left they'd target her just because she's my friend."
Jimra: "I understand.... and do you want to transfer Vixen?"
Vixen: "I'd like to..."
Jimra: "Well I don't have enough money to pay for another school."
Velvet: "Don't worry we'll pay for everything needed."
Jimra: "I don't wanna trouble you Velvet..."
Velvet: "Don't sweat it... you're a friend... and besides I'm sure if it comes to you and Vixen, Y/N wouldn't hesitate either... after all someone has to pay for your daughter's needs if HE doesn't."
Jimra: "But I feel like I'm a burden."
Velvet: "You aren't, weren't and never will be Jimra... so just accept it."
Jimra: "Fine..."
