My name is Connor rose. I have blue eyes and short wild black hair. And this is my story.
Ever since I can remember I've only ever had one dream. To become a hunter or more specifically a hero. I thought that it was the best job in the world. To me a hero was someone who had power and used it for the better of others. My mother summer rose and father tai yang xiao long were my main supporters alongside my sisters of course. But my mother....she really made me feel like I could leap tall buildings in a single bound or run faster then a speeding bullet. She even made me a cape so that I could be a hero. I never took it off because I thought a hero should always be super and nothing less. It was the best gift I could've asked for.

My sisters had similar dreams of becoming hunters. So we often played games with each other where we played as hunter and huntress that took down evil doers who were really our parents dressed up in cardboard boxes and sheets.

Our dreams of becoming hero's were encouraged even further as we grew older. By the time me and ruby turned 9 and yang 10 their semblance's unlocked. Yang was able to take a hit and dish it back just as hard or even stronger while ruby was able to run at great speeds leaving rose petals in her path just like mom. I on the other hand still hadn't unlocked my semblance. But I tried not to let it damper my spirits. I kept holding onto my dream. one day it payed off

Conners pov

Mom and dad were taking us out on a picnic in the forrest. We're currently in the car driving to the spot they found while they were on a previous job. I was sitting in the back of the car with ruby and yang.

Yang: I wonder what the occasion is?

Ruby: what do you mean?

Yang: don't you think it's kind of weird that they just suddenly decided to take us out on a picnic.

Conner: when you put it that way I guess it does kind of seem weird.

Ruby: why can't you two just enjoy it instead of being skeptical?

Yang & Conner: because it's strange.

Ruby: (sigh) you two are so weird.

Summer: we're here!

The three of us then placed our faces against the windows to see outside. The area was a small clearing in the woods that had tall grass and flowers scattered about. It was nice. But what caught all of our eyes was the person standing in the middle of it.

Ruby/yang/Conner: uncle Qrow!

He simply smiled and waved as we drove up next him and parked. As soon as we stopped the three of us practically fell out of the car as we scrambled to hug him. When we finally reached him we tackled him to the ground in a big hug.

Qrow: wow! Hey kiddos.

Ruby: it's been so long! where have you been?

Qrow: oh you know fighting Grimm and saving damsels in distress.

Conner: you got any stories for us?

Ruby/ yang: yeah tell us stories!

Qrow: Ok Ok. But first lets help your parents set up the picnic. Ok?

All three: Ok.

So we started helping unpack everything and set it up in the center of the field. When we finished setting up we sat down around qrow as he started telling us stories of adventures. He told stories of how traveled all of remnant and fought all sorts of Grimm. He told us a story of how he beet up six guys in a bar who had been messing with a waitress. He claimed he beat them all using nothing but a pencil. Tai said he was just being dramatic but I believed every word. To me Qrow was one of the coolest hunters. He was so cool and had an awesome weapon to match. But what really inspired me was how he helped so many people even though they never even asked for it. He was in my eyes a true hero.
