Rhoda Hylonome

Rhoda Hylonome is a student at Beacon and member of Team HKRI

Appearance
Rhoda is a girl of average weight and a slightly tall figure. She has a fair complexion, green eyes, and long crimson red hair tied into a ponytail (horse pun...). Also on her head she has her set of horse ears, that are a darker shade of red compared to her hair.

Her main outfit consists of a black leather top under a red and black coat. She wears one shoulder guard on her left, and a single black glove on her right hand. Rhoda also sports a black skirt that stops a bit above her knees, along with black long stockings. Her knees are covered with a light metal plating. Rhoda also wears a pair of black and red boots.

Because she is an archer, Rhoda also carries her quiver on a belt attached to her waist.

Personality
Rhoda is what many people would describe as a Tsundere. At first she can be seen as unpleasant, often starting off with a low opinion of others. People find she has a cold demeanor after interacting with her for the first time, though this is just how she chooses to present herself. In actuality, Rhoda does have a caring side to her personality; she has an affection toward cute things, but won't express it out loud. It takes some time before she'll show it, though only to certain people. And even though she's giving you a compliment, sometimes it will sound somewhat offending (it's just how she is).

She's known to be a hot-head as well, and is described as anger prone by others. It doesn't take too much effort to get her in a bad mood, but it won't be to the point where she's utterly pissed off; if it's anything small, she'll just reply with a snarky comment. If you've gotten her mad up to the point where she starts to get violent, running away from her is your best option for two simple reasons: one being it calms her down, and two, if you just stand there, you'll end up getting kicked a lot and hard. The kicking also applies at any moment she gets embarassed, though it depends on the person who's teasing her.

You don't have to worry so much about outrunning Rhoda as she won't chase you at full speed; the reason she'd be chasing after you is just to let off some steam with a little exercise.

Weapon & Abilities
Rhoda uses a collapsable short bow dubbed "Phoenix's Wing". It's red in color and has a set of 3 large feathers at both tips. The arrows she uses are primarily tipped with Fire Dust for a more powerful impact (being explosive) or the arrowheads can just bathe an area in flame upon impact; Rhoda also keeps normal arrows with her, in case she needs to tie them to a rope for climbing up a cliff.

She's been training long enough to be able to aim and fire quickly with an 80% accuracy rate no matter the situation she's in. Whenever an enemy gets too close to her, Rhoda's bow becomes useless for attacking, so she uses her legs for close combat by kicking her opponents.

Her basic abilities are speed and endurance, because Rhoda has been training her leg strength over time as well as her accuracy.

Aura and Semblance
Rhoda's Aura is rose in color and her Semblance helps to enhance her vision. Her ability, called Scope, turns her eyes a brighter shade of green enabling her to focus intensely on her target allowing her to search for any weak points, abnormalities, or common attack patterns to exploit. She can also use her Semblance to give her binocular-vision which helps her to clearly see things at far distances (how does 50-100 yards sound?), like spying on an enemy meeting. Her Semblance is used more before battle rather than during, to try and get some sort of advantage on her opponents.

To be able to use Scope with as little strain as possible, Rhoda has to stand as still as she can; she can't exactly focus on finding weak points while trying to get out of immediate danger. Also her Semblance has a side-effect of temporary migrains when used for too long or too often.

History
Ever since childhood, Rhoda has always been practicing archery due to it being a part of family tradition. Every adult in the Hylonome family were professionals at the trade, and always passed down their knowledge to every new generation so they could use their skill and become great Hunters in the future.

The only one in the family who wasn't too fond of this tradition was Rhoda's older brother, who eventually left home as he didn't want to be forced into being a Huntress; instead he decided to join the White Fang, thinking his skills would be better used to gain rights for Faunus rather than killing monsters. Because he knew his parents wouldn't approve of this decision, he ran away without a word to anyone. Ever since then, Rhoda's goal in life had been to look for her older brother, and thinking a Hunter might encounter them while still under violent leadership, she might meet up with him again in the near future.
