Crescent's POV

Hello. My name is Crescent Glow, and I am a wolf and crow faunus hybrid; wolf ears on my head, and crow wings stretching out from my back. I can make my wings disappear and reappear, too.

My mom was the crow, and my dad was the wolf. It's weird that two different faunus can have a baby with different traits. At least, that was what our home, Menagerie, thought.

I was treated unfairly by many kids, and was feared by the elders.

But I didn't care what others thought about me or my family. I'm just unique.

That's when humans and Faunus started attacking each other.

It was a bloodbath. One by one, both races were getting shot at.

Chaos struck like a lightning bolt. My parents and I made it out alive, thankfully. Others, weren't as lucky.

We managed to hide in a cave, and we thought it was over.

My dad went outside, only to get killed by two Faunus.

It was as if time froze, his blood staining his clothes, his green eyes looking at my light red ones as he slowly fell with a thud.

The killers aimed to fire at us, but I grabbed my mom and flew out of the cave, anger and sadness building up inside me at those monsters.

My mom cried for hours as she held onto me. I realized just then:

I had to care of us both, and to ensure our survival without my dad.

Since then, I cooked and cleaned, took care of my mom -- she's better now -- created my weapons, which are two long handheld guns that transform into swords, and helped with building the house. Yes, we built our own house.

Our house is a huge tree house, hidden deep within the forest so no one would find us.

Then the day came that changed my life forever.

The day I was enrolled into Beacon Academy.
