Description
Introducing, Team SLVR's third member, Valoura Zhuhong!

Name: Valoura Zhuhong (Valoura is a play on the word Velour, a typically red fabric. Zhuhong is Chinese for Vermillion)
Theme Color: Vermillion
Race: Lynx Faunus
Age: 17
Weapon: Natura Suantrai (Nature's Lullaby)
Semblance: Verdant Earth
Height: 5'08''
Weight: ...Valoura: "...n-n-none of your business!"

Backstory
Abandoned in Forever Fall forest, Valoura barely survived there, surviving only by being placed in a tree until she was found by her adoptive father, an ex-teacher at Beacon, Huntsman, and hunter. She was raised to be an extremely skilled Huntress by her father, but never had much chance to be social, living in Forever Fall, fighting Grimm and bandits along side her father. A year before joining Beacon, her father had went to stop a group of bandits from pillaging a nearby town, but in the process of protecting a family he was accidentally killed by the bandits... In her fit of rage Valoura attacked all of them until they couldn't move. After she gave her father his proper burial by using her semblance to bury him in a field of red tulips... the first flower she ever was able to grow via semblance with her father's help, she left for Beacon with his will, saying that he wanted his daughter to continue his legacy, in becoming the Huntress he knew she could be and becoming a normal girl in the process by going to the school he taught for, which was Beacon.

Personality
Very shy and quiet, is very awkward with new situations, and quirky, she is often day dreaming or playing outside with the animals, not much of a people person, whether you are Faunus or human. Can be kind and sweet at times (although very rare) and is sort of a tsundere. She knows how to be cordial and interact with people though since she's just been around her father her whole life, she can be kind of naïve in social situations.

Semblance: Verdant Earth
Valoura's semblance allows her to grow all kinds of flora at accelerated rates and control them to her will via Aura. Her aura is special in that it flows from beneath her and interacts with the ground around her, prompting flowers, trees, and all sorts of plants to grow in mere seconds. She can use this semblance to mutate the plants she grows as well, providing flowers that have a variety of effects including healing her teammates, poisoning, anesthesia, and hallucinogenic, not to mention using thick tree roots, branches and trunks to ensnare and crush her enemies. In addition to controlling whole plants, she can control parts as well, as long as they originate from something she grew. This allows her to produce a field of flowers that she can strip the petals off of to make a blizzard of razor-sharp, aura enhanced, flower petals among other uses. This does have it's drawbacks though, as she cannot use this ability without touching the ground or an object contacting it. If she's in an aircraft of some sort, she's simply out of luck and cannot use it. It also has a radius limit around her of about 30 feet, not to mention creating bigger plants equals more energy drain for her.

Weapon: Natura Suantrai
Valoura's weapon is Natura Suantrai, a TGSC (Tranquilizer Gun Staff Combo) and is a combination of two long barreled tranquilizer guns that can be combined into Chinese Bo Staff. This weapon has six different switches on it, two of them being regular triggers. These triggers only work when the staff has been separated into it's twin guns mode. To fire these when it's in staff mode, all Valoura has to do is grip the two protrusions with the green music notes under them (these are also triggers). The remaining two music note triggers simply separate the staff into it's twin guns mode. The ammunition that this uses is a combination of Valoura's own tranquilizing pollen via semblance and water Dust darts that basically enhance the effect speed.

Fighting Style
It's hard to best Valoura in forest combat considering where she was raised. She easily utilizes the trees to her advantage utilizing acrobatic movements. When not in the forest, she's very fast and agile still and utilizes her staff for sweeping combos as well as actively switching between it's two weapon modes in combat.

Trivia
Likes sweets, cute animals, music
Dislikes bitter drinks, bullies, unfairness, Sable to an extent
She uses music as a means of coping, she can't stand being in a crowd, and has her feline moments.
