Khione Nix

Khione Nix is a reoccurring character in the 9RWBY RP. Khione was a student at Atlas Academy and a member of team FNKI1. Before the events of Volume 3, Khione travelled to Beacon Academy before the preparation for the Vytal Festival. One of the teachers at Beacon Academy, Moss, scouted her out. Seeing Khione's potential, she kept an eye on Khione to see how she would use her semblance and her abilities.

Khione Nix is also a mute, stemming from a background of isolation to the outside world.

Appearance
Khione is a pale cat faunus with light blue eyes and armpit length white hair. Khione's faunus traits are in the form of a pair of cat ears. Around her body she also has minor scars, due to an overuse of her semblance causing frostbite damage to her skin.

Casual wear
Most of the time Khione wears a white and blue flannel on top of a white shirt, with some blue jeans. She uses this when she is not specified to wear any form of uniform or her combat suit.

First combat suit
Khione's combat outfit is a skin-tight white suit, to make her more nimble in combat. Her suit is made of a special material that adjusts her body temperature cool, so she is able to use her semblance. It is also fitted with small containers around her waist and on her back, which stores ice dust for her to use in combat.

In combat she will tie her hair up in a pony tail to avoid getting it in her face.

Second combat suit
The second version of her combat suit, functions similar to her first suit, but with a few changes done by Moss. This new suit has ice dust woven into the material, so she is able to drop the containers, making her more nimble. This comes at the cost of the outfit having to be remade after extensive use, as an extreme usage of the woven in dust, will slowly destroy the suit.

Personality
Khione is an ambitious girl, who matches her effort with her goals. She always puts in an extra ounce of energy in everything she does, and whenever she is fighting or sparring, her energy motivates the opponent to match her energy in the fight. She is always looking for a good fight, finding great joy in having a strong opponent to match her. Even in her losses, she tries to always stay cheerful and happy, wanting to rather focus on how she can grow stronger, instead of dwelling in the negative thoughts about the loss. Khione sees herself as a silent protector, not really wanting the spotlight, but just wanting to do her duty as a huntress and a soldier.

Powers and abilities
Khione unlocked her semblance early on, unlocking at a very stress-filled moment, meaning she had exposure to it early on. However her parents were not a fan of her having a semblance, putting her under house arrest. This led to her not having access to the cold, meaning she could not practice it well. When she then starter her academy training, it was like a beast let out of its cage, being very volatile and out of control. This meant she adapted a more supportive style to focus on helping instead of attacking, as her offensive attacks were wild and out of control.

Khione mostly uses her semblance in fights, seeing it as a better weapon than a sword or a gun. She is also able to use her semblance more, as she has an extraordinary amount of aura to spare for her semblance.

Khione has two different fighting styles, both an offensive, as well as a supportive style. Whenever she fights alone, she uses her offensive style, which is based around just keeping the opponent at bay using her semblance. This style is very volatile, so she prefers to only use this style when she fights along. Her supportive style is more based around smaller attacks and creating ice structures with her semblance. When she fights with Flynt Coal, she is able to add ice dust to his trumpet blasts to create a chill blast to freeze the opponents. When she fights with Neon Katt, she is able to keep her beat going and make sure she keeps going. When she fight with Incarna Canavar, she is able to make sure she did not go feral and keep her focused on the opponent.

Semblance
Khione's semblance, Blizzard (also known as Cold Control), allows her to have an excellent control over water under 0°C, the lower the temperature, the better the control. She is also able to turn ice dust into ice and snow, which is her only source of ammunition without any nearby cold water. With this ice she is able to bend it in any way she wants, although some requires more focus than others. Examples of what her power can be used for:


 * Create ice rings
 * Create and throw shards of ice
 * Create walls of ice
 * Create minor snow storms

Her semblance is why she has a lot of appraise from the high-end of the Atlesian military, as well as Professor Moss from Beacon. It is very powerful and flexible, allowing her to have a huge toolbox of abilities and powers. However it comes at two great risks. It can tear through her aura at a tremendous rate, it being a form of fuel source for her powers. She is still able to use her semblance without her aura, but it comes with another risk, which is frostbite damage to her skin. In season 6, her powers causes her to lose a hand and half her arm, requiring her to have prosthetics. Her powers also have a large weakness to fire, as a large intensity of fire can lead to her ice melting.

Weakness
Khione's main weakness is exposure to fire, as its effect on her semblance evolved into a phobia towards fire. Getting in close and exposing her to fire will be a challenge in itself, but a very effective method for dealing with her. Due to her large amount of aura, she excels in long fights, so if an opponent expects to outlast her, they should be expected to have a long fight. However if they manage to outlast her in combat, her frostbite damage can prove to be an effective help in beating her. Khione spends a lot of time early in a fight to analyse how her opponent fights, meaning she will expect a certain pattern from her opponent, but by being spontaneous in ones style, can throw her off a lot.

Trivia

 * "Khione" stems from the greek goddess of snow "Khione" / "Chione". Nix is latin for Snow.
 * Khione was not meant to be a member of team FNKI and therefore was not made with the idea of being like an internet culture. Her inclusion in the FNKI team was also done before the introduction of the official canon members Kobalt and Ivori. The reason for her inclusion was mostly done due to her Atlesian background, as well as her fitting into team FNKI, as there was only the "K" of the team missing.
 * A fun note, is that at some point Khione and another character "Ivory" had beef, which makes it funny that one of the official members of team FNKI is called Ivori.
 * Khione was originally just a one of character, and not originally meant to be made. The creator was asked by one of the other members, Neo, to make a cat faunus, but Khione later became a relatively known and used character.
