I promised I'd post some work before the year is through so here we go!

This is Team CLDN (CeLaDoN), my older RWBY oc team! From left to right is Crystal Equus, Lux Colt, Daw Kaiyote, and Napier Anguis all in their "freshman" looks.

More Team CLDN character sheets!

I wanted to draw them all in alternate outfits, so from top left to right in each are their time skip outfits, formalwear, "beach episode", and then lastly their winter clothes.

)(I made a playlist for Team CLDN as I work on the story. The first four are character themes in order of name in team name [so Cerise, Lynden, Dior, and Nash], and the other songs currently in there and eventually added are just songs that make me think of the team, whether individual members or the whole team or just relationships between two of them)(

Team CLDN had been a promising team. No real arguments between the members, and while Cerise was a quiet girl, the three boys seemed content to let her be the leader, even though most times it was as if there was no leader. And they did well on the few missions they were sent on, not perfect but good enough. But, at the end of it, they were still kids, given too much responsibility than they were prepared for.

That last mission, the end of dreams. It was near the end of their first semester in school, December bringing snow to the surrounding areas of Beacon. CLDN had been sent out to a small village near a forest, reports of beowolfs roaming the forest and the worries of the villagers. And for the first few grimm, the teens were successful. One pack down, and they had thought they won. That’s when the other pack attacked.

Separated in twos, Dior and Nash managed to barely escape, calling for immediate backup once they reached the forest edge. But Cerise and Lynden, they had been left behind. And the beowolfs kept coming, fueled by the terror and the blood from their injuries. In the end, Lynden succumbed to his wounds long before help arrived. Cerise managed, somehow, to hide with the body. Once help arrived, consisting of experienced hunters and the guards of the Godiar family, it took them another hour to find the two, fearing the worst.

Cerise was in critical condition for a long time, surviving but scarred more than physically. She didn’t return to school until a month into the second semester. The team was officially disbanded, and Nash put all the blame of the event onto the fragile shoulders of Cerise, the leader who failed his twin, who should’ve died in the place of her comrade. And she believed Nash.

For what no one knew except for Cerise, but Lynden had died for her. Had pushed her out of the way of a beowolf’s jaws. Sacrificed himself for the girl he loved the most, dying for the sake of a love hidden by both for fear of rumors. And so, team CLDN, so talented and shining brightly, was torn apart, all because sometimes adults put too much onto the shoulders of the young.

Lynden Rayleigh- Chin length and curly black hair parted to the right, grey-green eyes, and brown skin with a mole under his left eye. Wore a long sleeve lime green shirt under a dark grey short sleeve hooded jacket with his symbol, a linden leaf, on the back, black jeans, and green sneakers. His weapon was a battle axe with ornate carvings on the handle.

Dior- Wavy waist length dirty blonde hair usually pulled up into a braid, copper colored eyes, olive skin, and dirty blonde colored ferret ears. Wears a dark brown sweater with their symbol, the alchemical symbol for gold, on the left sleeve, dark yellow jeans, and brown boots. Their weapons are a pair of golden tonfa that are also guns.

Nash Rayleigh- Chin length and curly black hair parted to the left, grey-green eyes, and brown skin. Wears a dark grey long sleeve shirt under a lime green short sleeve hooded jacket with his symbol, a branch of ash leaves, on the front, brown shorts, and grey combat boots. His weapon is a large axe that can become a hammer.

)(Team CLDN was comprised of Cerise Beaumont (pink), Lynden Rayleigh (lime green), Dior (gold, orphan with no last name), and Nash Rayleigh (dark grey). CLDN is supposed to be celadon, which is a pale jade green glaze for pottery. Lynden and Nash were twins, Cerise and Lynden were partnered in the team while Dior and Nash were partners, and Lynden was the one who died. Nash blames Cerise and actively torments her for something that was honestly just a stroke of bad luck and not her fault. The accident happened in the middle of the first semester, and Cerise was pulled out until the beginning of the second semester due to her injuries.)(
