Rwby High School AU where Weiss is a goth 👀
The newest member of the Ace Ops: Marina Tortuga!
Aesop Fable: The Tortoise and the Hare (shares this with Harriet Bree) Art done by @cadhla182
Her name means “sea turtle” in Spanish.
She is the tortoise of her fable
She speaks with a Hispanic accent but uses surfer lingo such as “gnarly”, “radical”, “stoked”, “totally”, “s’yeah”, “groovy”, “dude/dudette”, or “psyched”
Her full name given to her by her beloved stepmother: “Marina Fernanda Garcia Ramirez Del Vega Tortuga”
Has a very ditzy, “chillaxed” “I’m high as fuck” personality.
Bit of a thirsty perv.
Was raised by a turtle Faunus woman and her 10 step-sisters on a beach in Menagerie after being abandoned by her Atlesian parents.
She dislikes the White Fang and the Schnee Dust Company for the parts they play in dividing Faunus in society. Holds no ill-will towards Blake or Weiss for being affiliated with respective organizations.
Has a slow wit, but her skills as a huntress will leave you surprised.
Marina: “I’ve got some wicked tricks up my sleeves!”
A/N: But you’re not wearing sleeves…
Marina: “Then it’s up my skirt! It’s all good, yeah?”
A/N:….
Her weapon is her razor-edged surfboard that can generate waves she can ride on through water or fire dust. Can also hover with gravity dust and surf on walls or high surfaces. Her board can turn into a large sword that shoots out beams with hard light dust.
The magnets on her shoes and inside her gloves allow her to hold her down in place on her board.
Very flexible body and is pretty good with combat. Her sexy legs aren’t just for show. She doesn’t like punching though. Doesn’t want to break a nail.
Little Miss “Menagerie Barbie”
A/N:...They hazed you?
Marina: “’S’yeah! On my 3rd day of school at Atlas Academy, I was invited to a beach party on campus grounds and I ended up walking on stage at the auditorium in my teeny bikini in front of the ENTIRE school!”
A/N: Why would a beach be on campus? Or even in Atlas?!
Marina: “I don’t know, dude! I thought there was totally like, beaches in the sky or something since Atlas is floating and all.”
A/N: Marina! You live in Solitas! There are no beaches!
Marina: “Duhhh! I know that NOW! Gosh!”
A/N:..You’re an idiot...
She cannot drive. Will happily ride motorcycle, ship, or truck regardless.
She’s skillful on the job but is very airheaded.
Marina: “So like, wheres the beach?”
Clover: “Marina this is the tundra...”
Marina: “I still wanna catch some icy waves, bro! Ooh! Can I go boogie boarding down the mountain later?”
Clover:...
Her semblance is “Euphoria”. Very useful when interrogating someone.
A very patient young lady, but doesn’t mind a little fast pace adrenaline if it means she can get some excitement.
Marina: “So, like, back in school, I was made leader!”
A/N: ...You were a leader? You?!
Marina: “S’yeah bro! I think it was called team...MNNT (mint)? Or was it MRRS (mars)? Hmm... maybe MLNS (melons)?”
A/N: I wonder if your teammates even liked you...
Low key low self-esteem.
After being abandoned by her parents, and being practically disowned by her step-sisters, Marina grew to dislike herself feeling as though she is a nuisance who is unwanted by others. She sometimes has 2nd thoughts about truly belonging in the Ace Ops...
Wishes for Faunus and Mantle citizens to have a good life.
Will coat herself with her semblance to relax before an intense mission to relax or to cope with stress.
Adores Clover and is grateful for him recommending her to join the Ace Ops.
Marina: “Clover? Did I do a good job?”
She’s more than willing to preach about his greatness to the others.
Marina: “Clover’s like totally righteous bro…like a GOD! I get totally psyched whenever I see him, brah!”
Will attempt to sweet talk him to get out of trouble.
Clover:...
Marina: “Dude, please don’t report me.”
Clover:: “...And why shouldn’t I?”
Marina: “Because...deep down you like totally have a thing for me!”
Clover: “Your semblance isn’t gonna work on me Marina. I’ll also have to report this to the General.”
Marina: “But Clover! We’re brossss! XD”
Clover: “First of all, you’re a woma-”
Marina: “We’re bros Clover! We’re brosss!”
Clover:...
Gets along with Elm. Though Elm sometimes questions her intelligence...
Marina: “So I was like whoa! And he was like WHOA! And she was like whoa...”
Elm: “...What are you talking about?”
Marina: “Hee hee...I don’t know!”
Elm:...
Vine dreads being paired up with Marina and wishes she did things by the book even though things work out for her in the end.
Marina and Harriet are constantly at each other's throats…poor Marrow can’t catch a break if he’s the only other Ace-Op to witness the two of them at a bad time on an airship after a mission…
Marina: “Bree is nothing but an angry, old. kook with pinkeye! She thinks cool because she’s fast. Bragging is not okay! She needs to learn how to take things slow. Dude, she was like totally spazzing out on me the other day telling me to cut my hair because the length is too much of a distraction in battle! How can she talk to me about haircuts when she looks like she cut her hair with a blender?!”
Vine:...
Marina: *Overdramatic gasp.* “You don’t think she wants to sell my hair to the monks in Mistral do you, dude?”
Vine:...
Nice girl with a snarky streak.
Marina: “Dude you like totally need a chill pill!”
Harriet: “Shut up! Stop calling me dude and take things more seriously! I can’t believe Clover chose an idiot like you to join the team!”
Ace Ops:...!!!
Marina: “Yeah? Well, maybe you should team up with someone on your level, Bree! Like maybe a trash can?”
Harriet: “What?!”
Marina: “Maybe if you were a little nicer, I might have shared some hair care tips with you!” *Flips hair and walks away*
Harriet: “EXCUSE ME?!”
Ace Ops:!!!!
Marina likes Marrow and doesn’t mind a little playful flirting. Sometimes a little too playful...
Marina: “Clover said I’m not allowed to hit that. Gotta like totally remain professional. Whatever that means... but dude! Marrow’s a total babe! The way he wags his tail is so freaking hypnotic! Totally puts me in a trance...bringing him coffee and treats in the morning at briefings make seeing his tail wag so worth it...”
A/N: What you are, is a freak with a tail fetish...I’m glad Clover enforced that no dating rule...
Marina: “Clover said we couldn’t date. He, like, totally never said we couldn’t show each other a little “affection” off the clock...”
A/N: With that semblance of yours, I’m afraid to ask what you guys do, so I’m gonna move on...
Marrow’s touched by Marina’s kindness towards the Faunus and her support for Faunus rights.
He affectionately nicknames her “Mari”
Marina can’t seem to stay out of trouble.
Marina: “You got banned too? That’s so hot!”
Marrow: “Wait. You got banned?!”
Marina: “Forget about that! Let’s go howl at the moon tonight like a wolfpack!”
Marrow: “Marina I’m not a-”
Marina: “Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuoooooooo!”
Marrow:...
Marina: *Gets close to him* Doooooo itttt!
Marrow: *Blushes* “F-Fine...we can go...”
Nicknamed “Beach Bunny” by Robyn and “Bimbo” by May.
Low key Hill supporter.
Robyn: “Hey! Beach Bunny! Shouldn’t you be on guard by the entrance?”
Marina: “Whoaaa! Robyn! It’s like totally killer to see you! I’m like totally voting for you for the election next year, brah!”
Robyn: “...I’m running this year...this is my election party...”
Marina: “‘S’yeah?! Right on dude! You are totally groovy!”
Robyn:...
Don’t discriminate Faunus in her presence and don’t call her a hippie. Seriously don’t do it…
Will never stop fascinating over technology.
Once saw a commercial involving a nacho cheese dispenser and developed a new addiction since.
She’s determined to find the machine that makes nachos. Even in strange locations such as a Manta airship. She’s a nacho-holic and is not afraid to show it.
Nowadays Marrow’s the one who has to show her the ropes. Mainly because Harriet will literally tear out her mohawk if she has to sit through Marina’s BS during pilot training again.
Marrow has to keep composure and act professionally towards Marina which is easier said than done considering how attractive she is.
Marina: “Hey...”
Marrow: *blushes* “Oh h-hey...”
Marina: “Dudeeee….So like…does this button make…nachoooos?” *Points a button*
Marrow: “Nachos? I don’t think-”
Marina: “I really love nachos...the melted cheese is so ooey, gooey...moist...”
Marrow: “Y-y-yeah...moist...”
Marina: “Let's push the button together okay?” *Puts her hand on top of his over the button making him more nervous*
Marina: “One...two..”.
Marrow: “Th-three...”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A stoner off the clock.
Weed plus semblance equals bliss. Likes to keep Faunus children company at a Mantle orphanage, eat a bowl of nachos, or go partying in her spare time.
She doesn’t have too many friends her own age but she enjoys the company of the young Faunus children in Mantle who she tells stories of her adventures to.
In her mind, the holiday “4/20″ is Christmas part 2! You’d totally want her around at a party.
Marina: “Dude, the secret 4/20 parties down in Mantle that I host are totally killer brah! The dudes of team FNKI are like the perfect party promoters!”
A/N: Marina, you could get fired if you get caught...
Marina: “Not if your a snitch like Bree...”
Loves music! A great dancer! Singing not so much since she can’t hit those notes...
Low key considers team RWBY and her fellow teammates friends but doesn’t admit it as she fears teasing by her fellow co-workers.
She would really love to go out clubbing with them sometime. (Mostly Marrow and Clover)
Speaking of co-workers, she’s rather popular with lower-ranking military soldiers who often try their luck at asking her out on a date.
Likes to input bright ideas at meetings. Even bad and crazy ones.
Not above using her feminine wiles or her assets.
The type of gal to go “weee” or “sicckkk” in excitement if she’s on an airship that’s spiraling out of control. Of course, using her semblance helps with that.
A good VA would be Maria-Canals Barrera (Paulina from Danny Phantom anyone? Or Fire from Justice League Unlimited?”)
Ship names for fun:
Marrow x Marina: Doggie Paddle
Clover x Marina: Sea Weed
Harriet x Marina: Beach Bunnies
Robyn x Marina: Bluebirds
