Johanna Bach

Johanna, all over a very Aryan appearance. Blonde, flowing hair. Piercing and big, blue eyes, tender and soft curves. Silky and white skin. 5'3'' (1,60m) in height and 110 lbs (50 kg) heavy. A well proportioned and rounded face. Overall extremely harmonic, but nothing tends to stick out as special with Jana's body. Tending to keep it like that, Jana does not want to draw attention to herself. Instead, she wants to surprise with perfect harmony if someone were to decide to inspect her more carefully, in which's case a dazzling appearance is of course a necessity. This is mostly caused by the pressure of the high society which she has learned to cope with. Since her birth, she has had to fill the output that was expected of her completely. This also mirrors in her looks. Her effort to look absolutely accurate and precisely adequate for any kind of occasion is what defines her appearance. Then again, Jana is a girl deep inside. She does have the basic need of attention females often present.

Starting from the top, Jana's blonde hair that reaches down to the middle of her spine is soft and silky. She has been growing it ever since and would be quite opposed to getting it cut. It defines her and is part of the girl in her. Voluminous and long as it is however, she often uses a blue beret hat to tie it under so it doesn't disturb her during formal events or activities. This hat becomes extremely important during battle in which her hair could get in the way. Of course, she also wears the hat so her hair doesn't get hurt, but that is something she would never admit. Because Jana takes utter care of it, going so far as to get quite angry if something should happen to her glistening blonde strands, she keeps it under check. Except for personal time where she is alone or together with close friends. It would appear notorious and paranoid to some people how much care she lays into her hair.

Moving down, is her face. Quite small and round, it doesn't jump the eye right away, but is still what people would define as cute and pretty. Her eyebrows are perfectly in shape and fitting to the form of her large, navy blue eyes. Her small ears are usually covered by hair that sticks out of her beret, which frames her face. Then her small mouth leads down to her sharp chin. Her tender and thin neck is then followed by proportionally small shoulders and her upper body. Her face usually unveils a simple and calculative expression. She tries to not show too much negative emotion as to appeal to all the people she works for. With a physiognomy that is usually quite bland and unrevealing, it is easy to tell if Jana is insecure, though she barely finds herself anxious. While trying to keep a straight face in a confused expression marks her face in situations of unease which is the indicator for her anxiety. But all in all, a plain mood and tactful manner is what her eyes, forehead and mouth reveal most of the time.

Lowering the view of her body again are her shoulders and arms, her chest, stomach and her hips. While she is not one of the physically strongest Students of Beacon, Jana has never tried to be. Her overall (solely), athletic built upper body bares quite the tendency towards fast working muscles and reflexive muscles. She is also extremely flexible because of athletic and acrobatic training. She can touch the back of her thighs by bending her back. Also her arms have been reputed to be snake-like. Her upper body is built for flexibility and to support her speed wholly, as she is a girl and never had the chance to bare as much strength as her male affiliates. Because of that she has worked quite hard and earned the reputation of being one of the fastest Huntresses. Her work-out as a sprinter, runner and an overall rounded athlete has brought her the body she needs to prove herself in battle as a Huntress. All in all her upper body mirrors that of a petite girl though. Her skills are quite hidden inside in the small shoulders and chest, the slim arms and curved stomach and hips.

Along to the extremely proportioned and trained body, Jana can brag about fantastic curves. From her B cup down to her 75 cm in circumference waist everything seems proportionally perfect to her height. They round off her innocent appearance and make her seem quite fragile. This might be her strongest weapon, as opponents don't usually deem her all that strong or dangerous. Not even looking her age, she has been able to backstab opponents who have been deluded by her appearance. Often trying to jump into openings, one-hitting and beating people in an instant looking out for moments of carelessness. Additionally her fragile appearance has proven to make her performance that much more outstanding and appealing to all the people she has met on the way to where she is now.

Down below, sticking to her upper body are her legs in perfect transfer over her pelvis. Thighs attach proportionally perfect to her rear end. They are quite trained even though they might not exactly look like it. That is all part of Jana's effort to look innocent, making her performance again that much more outstanding in relation to her appearance. The legs hide years of athletic training to the utmost capacity. They are probably her most important means of combat. Her legs are the main reason Jana always had the potential to be one of the fastest Huntresses (next to those with Speed Semblances of course). Additionally to her being quick on the legs, she is quite flexible and has trained since little in acrobatics being quite successful in athletics and even winning many competitions. Her being a girl is another benefit that adds to her flexibility and ability to bend and flip all around the place.

Usually flurrying in the colors of her family, blue and white, Jana wears almost only military clothes she herself has styled up. Everything from her dress to her hat have been altered by her to fit her taste and practice during formal, personal and military activities. Most of the time she wears a simple dress that veils half of her thighs but is open to the down end and revealing a lot of her back, making it extremely comfy for combat and granting her probably the most mobility she can reach while still having clothes on. Adding to her combative outfit are steel toe-capped, high-top boots that go halfway up the shin in blue and white colors including her black leotards up to her thighs. Then, she wears sleeves to simply cover the lengths of her arms up to her shoulders. Including her beret hat, it completes her combat outfit as it appears.

An extra to her combat outfits are the numerous pockets and fabricate holders she has sown into her clothes. On the inside of her standard dress are pockets for small weaponry and possible grenades or other perks. All over though, she sews as many as possible into her clothes. She has managed to sew them into her clothes in a manner that they are invisible to most anyone looking from the outside. They don't stand out in any suspicious way. And at that, she usually keeps pockets all over her body. All in all, Jana tries to bring as much equipment with her as possible to have the greatest advantage she can have.

For more formal activities she will wear a small, blue coat over her shoulders that covers her back and upper arms. A small, white shirt that has no sleeves is added to a blue skirt that is held in place by a belt. Then, the usual black leotards under the blue high-top boots and that outfit is also complete. Reminding of a schoolgirl outfit this is surely something she wears to draw slight attention to herself as an innocent and lovely girl, though she herself would never admit such a thing again. While I+Jana wants to keep her outfits clean, she is not afraid of getting dirt on her clothes if it happens for purposes of fulfilling the job. This all represents her will to, even though it takes barely any effort, adapt her life to the expectation of her family as much as possible but at the same time representing her and the Hunters' collectively individual beauty in the most personal way she is able to.

So all in all, even when not in battle or engaging in formal activities Jana tends to keep her wardrobe neat, tidy and stylish. Coexisting with the part of her that is fully female, they reflect her will to show the pride and glamor as a Huntress but are not a representation of how she actually behaves and is as one. Despite that, her female side does get overhand in some situations but she has learned to turn it down when needed. Summarized it is all part of her personality to stand for her job and herself somehow. But even though her clothing is deeply-rooted into her mind and heart, she wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice it in battle. Unless they are fights she doesn't need to take that serious, she can stop caring for her looks and concentrate on battle. Or at least that is what she thinks. One may criticize her need for living in style.

Faceclaim - Noel Vermillion:

As a child born into the severely strict and highly regarded “Bach” household, Jana's fate was as good as decided from day one of her life in this world. It was written in stone that she would become a Huntress, it was written in stone that she would someday become a teacher at Beacon Academy, it was written in stone that her athleticism would excel, it was written in stone that her beauty would excel. There was not one aspect of her life that wasn't set in stone. Everything would go regulated. It was even set in stone that she would excel at musical talent, despite her wanting to; or not. Overall, her story is the usual, often-heard and retold story of the girl that came from a background where she had to be perfect. Usually, people like these end up extremely fragile and rebellious in the end. But the difference to the stereotypical story came with Jana.

Johanna Bach was the child that did not only meet all the expectations she was supposed to meet. Oh heavens no! Jana completely surpassed any expectations set up for her. From early on, Jana was by no means a normal kid. Without having to force Jana, she wanted to do all the things her parents had set out for her. Jana wanted to try and play instruments. She wanted to be good at sports. She wanted to be a child model to endorse her family. Even though she didn't fully understand what she was doing and not really caring for her parents, she was a born perfectionist with a completely rational way of thinking.

Calculating and manipulative, her intellect was probably always her greatest feature. During her early childhood, from around 4 on, when she was starting to show reason to her actions, Jana started building the highest structures of blocks, walking and running steadily, showing proper manners and completely speeding up the process of her “growing up”. Even able to work completely autonomously, daily routines started to function without guidance by the age of 7. By then, Jana was way past the level of satisfaction of her parents. They were awaiting, anxious, eager to see what their child genius would do every next day. Every new day, Johanna presented them with something new. A new trick she had taught herself. A long time ago, she had started picking up instruments and learning to play by listening to all sorts of music. Her creative spirit was turning greater and greater by the day. By the age of 8, she became obsessed with the creation of paintings. Paintings that brought in some gigantic amounts of money for her family. At school, she was always under the best students. Never once did she let herself slip in grades. And as all these things came naturally, she started to detach herself from the meaningless high society.

By the age of 10, Jana had already entered puberty. The ominous changes to her body as well as her mind were of course confusing, but she had transcended the mindset of impulsiveness and had entered a quite rational state in which she was able to carefully observe herself. It was probably the most significant phase, as she was starting to understand herself more than she understood the world around her. A natural affinity and self-consciousness was developing. As well as a strong sense for justice and an extremely airtight morality had begun developing. In short, Johanna was starting to become a full-grown adult short after entering puberty. She was a child genius as it seemed. In truth, the sense for rationality was just that much greater in her, and thus the perfectionist girl known as Johanna Bach set foot into the world by the age of 12. Dancing, Music, Art, Athletics and modeling were all of the fields she completely excelled in. Not only that but her academic potential skyrocketed. All sciences and linguistics layed at her feet at the affinity for the world she presented. There was barely anything she couldn't understand. And thus, a peculiar mindset was created.

A dead on rationalist was created, with little regard to things she was unable to explain. Yet, with her unrivaled ability to understand her own being, she was still a girl with similar wants and needs. These wants and needs ultimately manifesting in the ability to create music in front of hundreds of people and one of the best athletics and dancers who would win enough prizes for three lifetimes. Jana had started to create a public image by the age of 13. She came to be nicknamed as the “Blue Princess” as the sigil for her family was blue and she was the only daughter her parents had given birth to. Overall, her personal sense for attention was compensated with this publicity during her young years. She knew fully well that it was just a means to control her impulsive emotions. Attempting to fully control herself and her habits, Jana had succeeded in becoming a completely independent teenager. There was no one that didn't look up to her, and there was no one that didn't come to find the need to care for her. Jana had grown completely detached from any dependency on anyone. She was standing alone at 13 years in a world that was looking up to her.

At this point in her life, Jana had started to see the imbalance and injustice in life. The deafening sound of the poor had started resounding. She had moved herself so far from the actual world with her selfish creation of an image and coping with herself that she was finally able to see it clearly. The destruction, the evil and the inhumane conditions that reigned in the world. And in that moment, she realized that to fully visualize something, to fully realize something one must step as far away from it as possible. And thus, she turned her head towards the injustice in the world. Jana took a step back from herself and realized that it was part of her tasks as a human to make life fair for the humans.

At the age of 14 she was then introduced to proper Huntress training. Learning everything that related to becoming a Hunter, Jana very much greeted this new possibility with open arms. It seemed like it would give her great strength for the future. And she knew that it was the best option to become a respected persona not only to those who look up to her abilities, but also to those she is unable to reach. The poor, the broken, the hurt. Eventually, she would be able to reach out to them. And after 2 years of preparation, study in mechanics, history and biology of the Grimm, they would become her utter nemesis. She enrolled into Beacon by the age of 16 and had a high headstart to all of her other classmates. Of the “genius child” glamor nothing next to her amazing affinity for arts, sciences, sports, linguistics and academics was left. Something which granted her a prestige that stood entirely for itself. And promptly, three years later she found herself as an established student sitting at the very top of Beacon Academics. A regained sense of humanity had immersed through the rationality that had dictated her being up until then. Gained, through excessive societal management of her own life. Nevertheless, Johanna had been working largely alone up until then, only ever being assigned a team momentarily. After multiple attempts, it usually got disbanded for multiple reasons, one of them being the members not being able to cope with her inconsiderate attitude. But she was set that she would make it out of Beacon successfully and completely able to be a famed Hunter.

The Perfectionist. Jana is a helpless perfectionist. She is utterly caught in the mindset that if she does something, it has to be done not only correctly but to the extent of all of her abilities. This is also the reason she constantly attempts to better herself. To run faster, to lift heavier weights, to learn more about the world, to know more about everything else, to be better at playing music and to grow stronger everyday. To try and bond with the people around her. Her whole life is race trying to see how far she can run. Jana is entirely too rational to think about competition. The only thing that she focuses on when perfecting herself is actually herself. There is no one she is trying to impress anymore, no one she is trying to really gain attention from next to herself. Jana knows that she has to try her best to be a strong person, which is why she only ever does things to her most utmost potential. There is no half-assed work for her. And in the end she always turns out on top despite not trying to actually stand at the top. Because she knows that she's trying this hard to be the best person she can, she has come to realize how some people are  just lazy. Ultimately, it has made her detest laziness to the very core. Johanna never tolerates laziness. She will never once accept if work is done half-heartedly. Her view on life is too narrow and channeled through the eyes of a gifted rationalist as that she could see a lazy person's justification for not doing his or her best.

The Rationalist. Next to always trying her best, Jana is a spot on rationalist with little concern for her own feelings. She has amazing intellect which proves extremely helpful in most any situation. Her ability to properly analyze just about anything is so great, that she will not back down from anything she doesn't understand. Something, that makes her life quite hard, as the most difficult to understand beings are actually humans. So she spends her life constantly trying to analyze humans to the utmost capacity, making her somewhat unpopular, as her ability to psychoanalyze has grown over the years. There is little things that Jana can't interpret or doesn't interpret correctly. She will know a person if she sees one, but often it is unable for her to logically extend her empathy to the point where she is able to feel sympathy for a person being unreasonable in her eyes. Next to that, her way of speech and behavior are quite unemotional, not rigged with anger, cheerfulness, care or any other useless emotion that have no place in her ways. While she does know that it is necessary to show emotion to properly interact, Jana bares no real sense for them. Everything she does is play according to the given situation, having her turned into quite the actress over the years. Finally it is also her dead rational actions that have carried her to the point she is. Respected by the teachers and known throughout the faculty, Jana is mostly held in high regards.

The Woman. Part of Johanna Bach is what it is. A  woman. Nobody understands that better than herself.  But due to her self-respect, self-consciousness and understanding of herself Jana has absolutely no problem with being the girl she is in public. This will usually make for comedic moments, as she subconsciously longs for things like jewelry, clothing or food, making her impulsively act on her needs. She fully knows that she's letting impulsive actions take over of course, but Jana tells herself that it is good to let that unreasonable part of her take over at times since she's a human, and not a machine. Stimulation is needed, and the “woman” part  of her gets all the stimulation that is necessary for Jana. This is also the reason Jana is extremely clean. And also the reason she lays extreme value on cleanliness. Her dorm is probably the cleanest dorm in the whole of Beacon because Jana doesn't allow it to be ridiculed by dirt. It is beautiful in its own way and she actually also likes cleaning. Just as she also likes wearing sweatpants when nobody is looking. Next to that, there's a lot of girly stuff she also finds pleasure in. Such as horses, or romantic paintings, or romantic literature as well as chocolate and perfumes. Overall, it is quite hard to completely assess the “woman” part of her, as it is literally ever-changing, depending on the stimulation she needs. Since it is the only real part receiving true stimulation, Jana does have difficulty completely taking care of it, making this side of her constantly fluctuate between happy, sad, satisfied and needy. Ultimately, her woman side is complete chaos and if somebody were to attempt to understand it, he would probably explode because of a sensory overload.

List of Dislikes:

List of Likes:

Personal Strengths:

> Activity: As much as this seems inhuman she hates lazing about, and to be true, Jana is on the border to being hyperactive. She is quite the jumpy woman, which has benefited her in quite many ways. Because of her constant need to do something, she has had little to no problems keeping up with her lifestyle and education. Additionally, it is not the “not moving” part of lazing about that gets to her. It is the part, where the brain isn't expanded with knowledge and not fed anything but left to it's imagination while the body does not move at all, that gets to her. She either needs to move her body, or needs to feed her brain with information and knowledge. Anything else and she is unhappy. Adding to this dislike, she gets bored quite quickly. But because she does do something and some kind of action while not sleeping, either reading in bed or athletic practice or analyzing some form of art, she has no problem with her constant need for activity.

> Gifted: Jana is crazy talented in a number of cultural aspects. The innate luck to have talent for academics, sports and arts was given to Jana since her birth and without realizing herself, this insane luck has made it feasable for her to be the prodigy she is. At 19, she already was a famed child star once, and now she stands at the top of Beacon Academy because of her natural talent.

> Collected: The ability to have self-control over body, mind and being able to fully control one's habits is completely inherent in Jana and also one of her greatest features. She is nearly unable to be brought out of concentration. The ability to multitask is within her, deeply-rooted, as well as the other side of that coin, the one of total focus is in her. Jana's intellect and brain capacity are her greatest weapon, and that makes itself noticeable in the insane amount of information her brain can process at once.

> Strong-Willed: Jana is an exceptionally strong-willed and self-conscious individual. She does not back down before anything or anyone. Nor does she let anxiety or fears get the better of her. Always ready to do what is necessary, her will is humanly indominable. There is nothing about her she isn't aware of, and her ever-collected and calm presence and rational attitude are one of her greatest tools in life. She is aware of who she is, where she stands and what she wants to be. Jana is standing steady on the ground with both legs. There is little that can cause her to cringe.

Combative Strengths:

> Analytical: Jana's ability to analyze just about anything at high speeds is one of her god-given, natural and innate abilities. She is just that type of person and to Jana, breaking down, looking at closely and understanding just about anything is not a problem at all. She can discern just about anything within seconds, and the things that need time get the required time and are understood afterwards. If not, she won't rest. The only exception to this are humans as their behavioral patterns are almost impossible to fully pack into psychological terms and conditions. If she can't understand someone, she lets it be.

> Accurate: Jana's ability to be accurate is not only given into her academic ability, but also shines through in her potential for sports. Her eyesight is greatly enhanced and her control over her body as as her coordination (all things acquired through training), Jana is able to fire down even moving targets. She is incredibly gifted when it comes to being on-point, in human interaction, work or with actual projectiles.

> Instinctive: Thanks to many years of practice as well as many experiences, Jana can act inherently instinctive. Some things have been done so many times over, with such great accuracy that she is able to automate herself and function almost like a machine without fully processing what she is doing. Jana can, in a sense, put her mind on standby while she's working. Additionally, the training as a marksman in symbiosis with both her semblance and her enhanced senses have made her react at insane speeds without fully noticing it. She has a 6th sense for danger and that makes itself noticeable in her instinctive reflexivity.

> Agile: Her hours upon hours of training as a dancer, acrobat and athlete have given her a female body that is nearly impossible. She has a snake like body, capable of bending and stretching extremely far. All of her flexibility is supported by muscles of course, but her now innate capability of touching her heels by bending backwards remains one of her greatest features and most-rumored abilities. Her fast-functioning muscles bring her speed up to peak human capacity.

Personal Flaws:

Bored: Jana gets bored quite quickly. If she has absolutely nothing to do, she will search something to do. If she has nothing to think about, she will search for something to think about. This is completely vacant in battle as combat requires a constant need for attention, but in life her brain is constantly active. It needs to do things, quickly, and now. Because of this her instincts are turned down quite a bit. Because her brain constantly needs to work, she tends to rely on that instead of her pure instinct.

> Afraid of Infertility: She doesn't reduce the female gender to giving birth. She hands everyone their freedom to decide if they want to give birth or have kids, even though she is of the opinion that you should have kids if possible. Simply because without procreating their kind would cease to exist.  She wants to give birth to bring her part for the world and actually be a mother. A part of her has always wanted to be a mother. Those are the reasons she is afraid of infertility. Being infertile would mean the meaninglessness of her life as she would fail to realize to be a mother to a child she herself has given birth to and the fact that she could not continue their species.

> Style-Focused: Not flipping but getting quite aggravated, her girly side feels quite insulted whenever someone insults her style. Simply because she knows that she has, what some people would call “it” as a woman, and she feels that people who don't want to see her sense for fashion are either blind, ugly or want to piss her off. And Jana does not like being provoked. She has enough on her mind anyway, someone who is simply there to piss her off can stay away for all she cares.

> Afraid of Undeath: Probably one of her most deep fears which has evolved out of her sense for humanity. While most fear death out of various reasons that can all be summarized with the words “death means the end, people fear the irrevocable end” she fears the exact opposite, Jana does not want to live eternally. She has already decided that when the time comes she wishes to end her life. The uncomplicated way of her life ending itself is not an option for Jana. She wants her body to last far past human age so she can see her goals become reality, but living forever seems scaring. Jana fears the final indifference that she deems to wait at some point during eternal life.

> Afraid of Bugs: Quite the simple fear, Jana has it because of a simple human impulse. There is little to no reason why she should fear bugs, but she simply does. She fears them to a point of disgust which she often tries to hide. The many bug-like Grimm are quite pleasing to kill though. All in all bugs are a irrational fear of her which has no real base, but she can't seem to get rid of it no matter how hard she tries. And Jana HAS tried, but the thought of the little crawling an squealing and squiggling beasts disgusts her.

Combative Flaws:

> Hair: One flaw about Jana would be that she cares about her hair a tick too much. Just enough to make it decisive in battles, where she is not focused enough to keep up her mental stability and has to worry about more things than she can handle. In those situations she ticks when something happens to her hair since her head is usually filled with enough thoughts for 3 people. Thus, she loses focus and gets vulnerable. Jana has found a preventive way that ensures her mental safety regarding her hair. She has put a hat on her head to cover her hair.

> Inconsiderate: Jana is somewhat inconsiderate because of her dead-on rationality. She has only a very small amount of empathy which prevents her from being able to read the mood without analyzing it at first, often putting her focus off from what is needed on what interests her. She was often inconsiderate towards her former teammate's and could never properly care for their anxieties, fears and problems with themselves and others. Ultimately, she is not a good teamplayer as she imromptu undermines just about any leadership or sense of individuality when facing combat. She also doesn't feel remorse when facing other individuals. She does what is needed because she knows best what is needed, and often people don't understand that she is not their enemy.

> Fragile Body: While her outward strength isn't below average, her small body may be her weakest link. It is susceptible to damage in an extreme way. While she can lift quite normally and even throw a punch or a kick, it doesn't take much to fling the light-bodied Jana around the place. It doesn't take much to lift her off her feet, and it also doesn't take much to physically damage her. Anyone with slightly above average strength could easily break her arm and toss her around if he were to catch her.

> Reckless: This isn't meant in an emotional or impulsive way. God knows it is not possible for her to let her emotions gain the upper hand. Jana's sense for justice and protection often undermines her rationality in the sense that she will fight fights that she knows she can not win if it saves others lives. She will do what is needed to be the better person, without any regret or hesitation. There is nothing in her that holds her back when fighting. She does not fight for fun, but for the better of it. Jana goes out into combat if that is what is needed, and will not step back.

> Ranged: As a ranged fighter, Jana is somewhat dependant on the distance she puts between herself and her enemies. If someone were to close in on her, then she would certainly need to create the distance again to achieve maximum efficiency during fighting. In close quarter combat her weapons bare the least potency, meaning she tends to create a gap of several meters/feet between herself and enemies to properly apply her skills of accuracy.
