What happened?

Good(ish) AU

In this world Emerald attends Beacon Academy at the same time as Team RWBY. Due to the nature of her semblance and nobody wanting to sleep yet alone live in the same room as a thief Emerald is on her own team wise.

Her personality is nearly identical to the Emerald you may know of and doesn't take shit from anyone. Especially a certain blonde brawler boasting she could break Emerald like a twig.

Speaking of which...
