Well, Mona, before I died there was this boy.. His name was Jaune Arc. He was the leader of my team, team JNPR (Juniper). He treated me like a normal person, not like a prize on a pedestal that no one could reach, like everyone where I lived did. But he was a god awful fighter. He only got into Beacon Academy because he submitted faked transcripts, and so I trained him to be a great warrior. Then the Vytal festival came, and we were going to the singles round, which I fought in. My opponent was a girl called Penny. She.... She was a robot. She wielded swords attached to sharp strings. I panicked and forced the swords back, but the strings caught her and sliced her to pieces, pieces of mechanical strain everywhere. Next thing I know, I run away from Jaune, my best friend and crush, and am fighting a woman named Cinder Fall, who stole the power of the Fall maiden. She struck me in my heart with an arrow, thwn turned me to ash, then next thing I know, I wake up in a Hospital bed here in Tokyo
