Personality: Pyrrha is a kind, steady girl who grew up as a formal warrior. She's friendly, and perhaps too diplomatic in some of her interactions, extending more patience than she should. Still, she's a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, as fierce in her blows as she is polite in her speech. This, and her body armor, can make her intimidating to some people. She is one of very few girls in her class who actually wears metal armor - not that it's all that common much anymore with guys, but it's definitely a callback to her formal training. Pyrrha cannot stand for outright bullies, no matter what courtesy dictates. Push her too far, and she will put you down. She also will sacrifice herself even if she can't win; she has to make an attempt at helping, even if it ends up being for naught.

Pyrrha can be a little awkward, socially, with her peers; she is not the best at making friends, despite her good nature. Recently, she's been fitting in a lot better with her teammates, though sometimes her maturity can get in the way of connecting properly. Pyrrha grew up faster than most, after her father left and her mother nudged her into training. She has always had a sense of loneliness in her life; on her homeworld, she's something of a celebrity, having won the Mistral regional tournament four times in a row (a new record) and even doing some work as a brand spokesman. This sets her apart most of the time, raising people's expectations and perceptions of her. Jaune, her team leader and the subject of her silent, pining affections, is the only person who sees her when he looks at her, not the prize fighter. Jaune is oblivious to her fancy of him, and Pyrrha fully intends to keep him that way. She is selfless often, as best exhibited by her giving Jaune genuine advice on how to approach Weiss to ask her to the school dance. She would never admit her feelings (at this point in time), for fear of getting in the way of his happiness by clouding things.
