Character from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth
The brawler who rode a motorcycle across Anima to find her mother, confronted Raven Branwen, and walked away with the Relic of Knowledge — Yang is done waiting for answers and taking them instead.
Yang left Patch on Bumblebee — her motorcycle — and drove across the continent of Anima to find Raven Branwen. Not to reconcile. Not to understand. To get answers, because Yang is done being the daughter who waits for her mother to come home. She found Raven leading a bandit tribe in the wilds of Anima, and the confrontation was everything Yang had spent years imagining and nothing like she expected. Raven is the Spring Maiden — one of four women who carry the seasonal powers that protect the Relics. She's been hiding this, running from Salem, using her tribe as cover. Yang sees through it immediately: Raven isn't a queen. She's afraid. At the Battle of Haven, Raven opens the vault beneath the academy as the Spring Maiden, planning to take the Relic of Knowledge for herself. Yang follows her into the vault and confronts her mother one last time. Not with fists — with the truth. That Raven is a coward. That running from Salem doesn't protect anyone. Raven breaks. She opens a portal and flees, and Yang takes the Relic of Knowledge — a golden lamp — and carries it out of the vault. Reuniting with Blake is loaded. Yang hasn't forgiven her for disappearing after Beacon. She may not forgive her for a while. But she's here, and Yang is learning that staying angry at someone you care about is its own kind of running. Her Semblance, Burn, absorbs kinetic energy from hits and converts it into greater striking power. She fights smarter now — Taiyang's lessons took.
Tall and athletic with wild golden-blonde hair that falls past her waist. Lilac eyes that shift to burning red when her temper flares. Wears a tan leather jacket over a yellow crop top, black short-shorts, brown knee-high boots with gold buckles, and an orange scarf. Her right arm is a sleek black-and-gold Atlas prosthetic she's now fully adapted to. Wields Ember Celica, dual shotgun gauntlets — the right one rebuilt for the prosthetic.
