Original name: (Y/n) Malachite

New name: Thorn Branwen

Before escaping: age 7

Joining Beacon: Age 16

Adopted father: Qrow Branwen. Although he adopted you, you had to stay and live with Taiyang and his kids, which lead up to Ruby and Yang calling you their brother even though you 3 are cousins.

Fighting styles:

(Against people): fights similar to Yang, only doesn't use gauntlets. Your usual fighting style when faced with humanoid enemies, due to being afraid to use weapons on people cause of your past

(Against Grimm): fights similar to Qrow, though you like using your scythe more then the sword and gun modes.

(Fighting seriously) you combine your combat styles with your first summoned Beowolf, named "Shadow"

Shadow Bio:

(Puppy)

(Adult)

(Shadow when fighting seriously)

Weapon: Crimson Death

Able to shoot out magnum bullets from the barrel on the sword

Aura color: black with red outline

Symbol/emblem:

Semblance:

Grimm manipulation: due to his past, he is able to create Grimm that he has complete control over, as long as he has been able to defeat them himself. Always keeps his first summoned Grimm with him, hidden in his shadow. Can combine with his Grimm to have properties from the Grimm (Beowolves can grant Thorn gauntlets, Nevermores gives him wings, Ursa gives him super strength, others give him different abilities) Shadow gives him a demonic arm that allows him to destroy almost any Grimm in a second, though it damages him as well.

Personality:

Before escaping: timid and afraid, used to getting beaten up and cut up by his family

After adopted: hot headed, shy, loves weapons, cares deeply about his new family and his summoned Grimm, hates his old family, and loves his motorcycle named: "Crimson".

Love interests: pick to have one, both, or neither.

Ruby Rose: new adopted sister. Fellow weapons lover. Knows you like her and likes you back, but is waiting for you to confess. Willing to share with Yang. Very protective of you, to the point of almost being Yandere.

Yang Xiao Long: new adopted sister. Fellow motorcycle fan. Knows he likes her and likes him back, but is waiting for him to confess. Willing to share with Ruby. Very protective of you, to the point of almost being Yandere.

(A/n): First time I'm writing a story like this, so go easy on me. Btw, just to make it clear, Taiyang is NOT the abuser here. If you want to read a story like that, then sorry but this story isn't for you. Anyway, enjoy the story.

Btw, I need help deciding which Grimm to give the reader/Thorn, so choice 1-2 Grimms to have as summons in the beginning.

(A/n): decided to go with a harem route. Just remember I'm still new at the harem/romance stories. Anyway, at the moment, the harem will only involve these (for now):

Team RWBY

Neo

If you want me to add more, I need info on the characters you want me to add, but remember that this story follows the RWBY plot, so if a character is added from a different volume, they might not show up till said volume.
