Baihu is in laymans terms an airhead. She is easily distracted and is also quite stupid. Or so she thinks she is. She is surprisingly intelligent but pretends that shes stupid to avoid being considered a nerd.
She does have a penchant for bright colours and sparkling objects, which she does love to focus on painting with glitter paints.
She does have a strong love for tuna and chicken and has a tendency to horde food a memory of her time growing up. She is also rather creative in the manner of ahording.

She likes to paint and cook and often spends her time cooking large feasts of fish and chicken.
She does hate loud noises however which does cause her to restrict her semblance.
Backstory[]
The third member of Team DAWN, a team based from Vacuo, consisting of her brothers and sister, to be adopted by the Grandmaster, the man who became her adoptive father and martial arts teacher, she was always the more outspoken and boisterous of the students. She would often spend her time practicing her calligraphy and reading the texts of her master, struggling to find her school.
One day she stumbled upon her master training her team and she sat there on the outside studying her siblings, then she asked her master "why can't I play?" she said feigning ignorance of martial arts, the Master, more astute than he gave off escorted the tigress to the dojo and pointed to the scrolls, stating that the scrolls of the White Tiger where missing. The tigress sighed and told the master she was bored and practiced the teachings. The Master nodded and began to train Baihu in the form of the White Tiger
Yu grew jealous of the interaction between her Master and Baihu and would often make sure Baihu couldn't get the training. However, Baihu trained by herself, until they attended Vacuos academy.
Upon the knowledge of her Master's heart attack and death and the scar, she decided to push herself beyond what she was capable of, still slacking in the school front but excelling in the martial.
Upon her graduation and hiring to protect the wolf Faunus, she decided to take a vacation and train at the White Tiger Monastery in the Valley before the Vytal Festival to hone her craft.
Upon Beacon Fall she rushed to Vale to help her teammates missing her charge, Wolfe Black, and his sister escape Vale moments before the incident.
Relationships[]
She despite being childish and aloof, cares deeply for her siblings and has a small little art book where she paints her siblings in heroic settings, sleeping with it in her room close to her heart, scared she would lose them.
Her relationship with her father, The Grandmaster would leave many to be desired, often the playful child even when training she would cause no end of frustration but they loved each other as father and daughter.
Her sister, Yu'long, on the other hand, was more of a teasing relationship. Whilst Baihu was the more skittish and one who wanted to be close by, Yu'long was distant and uncaring. However, upon the death of the Grandmaster, months before the Vytal festival they became close slowly over the course of the months, but Baihu being the kitten she is, is always the one teasing and trying to get a rise out of her sister.
Her brothers on the other hand, Mo'chung and Chi are more of the bratty younger sister to the annoyance of her brothers, but deep down they take care of her
Abilities[]
Combat:[]
Baihu is a user of White Tiger style, (Tai Chi) and practices it daily in the morning to act as a meditative trance.
To deal with Grimm she uses a set of gauntlets and greaves to use against her Grimm based opponents.
Semblance: Fireworks[]
Baihu learned upon her activation of her aura and training to use her Semblance, she learned she could emit bright lights that can explode into a flash of colors. These cannot deal any damage to any opponent, she uses them for brief flashes of light or as flares.
The downside to this semblance is for her, she can only use it once every five minutes, due to not only the loud bang scaring her, and the lights can blind her without special protection such as sunglasses
In terms of cof range and effects, it is that of a flashbang grenade. A five second white flash and ringing effect that lasts up to about 10 seconds on human opponents and up to 30 on Grimm, however, repeat usages have diminishing effects leading to a 2 second up time.
