Unfortunately I have not yet been able to take care of the improvement of the last two chapters because I am not satisfied with their quality .Well for the time being I cannot find the time for this but I will certainly try to improve them when I find it .

Pov 3 person
Yang : "I don't honestly know if it's a diminutive of her name but I know Blake used this nickname . Anyway how do you know that Uncle Qrow?"
Says Yang when at that time Tai notices the strange behavior of Qrow who upon hearing Yang's words momentarily loses composure on his face when apparently serious thoughts are going through his head.
Qrow : " Don't worry just a passing thought ."
Says Qrow when his tone betrays something else .
Tai : " Blake is that Lappland friend you were talking to ?"
Asks Tai distracting Yang from Qrow's suspicious behavior . Before Yang could say anything further , she yawned deeply which made Tai pay attention to his daughter's fatigue .
Tai : " Never mind we will talk tomorrow you are already too tired. Leave your scroll on the table and go back to your room , when I'm done talking to Qrow I'll bring you something to your hangover if it's still bothering you .
Says Tai to which Yang just shakes her head at her father's worry .
Yang : " I'm fine , just my head hurts a bit ."
Says Yang looking at her father who continues looking at her insisting that she should go to her room . Not wanting to upset her father Yang left her scroll on the table then she moved with the intention of leaving the room when she was stopped by her father's words .
Tai :" Yang don't make me regret my decisions today."
Says Tai when Yang listening to his words walks out of the kitchen leaving the two adults alone .
Tai " what is going on ? I saw your face after Yang's words . Who is Lappy ? Who is this girl , do you know something ?"
Asks Tai right after making sure Yang has them around at this time the atmosphere around him becomes tense apparently due to the behavior of Qrow , who seeing Tai's approach to the matter sighs .
Qrow : " Nothing sure , just a thought ."
Says Qrow but Tai knowing that the matter concerns his daughter attacks further what at that moment make Qrow knew that Tai would not let him go until he answered his questions , cursing in his mind Qrow thought about how to convey his anxiety to Tai.
Tai : " Qrow this is about Yang " .
Says Tai seriously while closing the kitchen door.
Qrow : " Do you remember how noisy the underworld was a year ago , that string of missions entrusted to me from Ozpin ?"
Asks Qrow at which Tai thinks for a moment then nods in confirmation .
Qrow:" It was about the death of " white wolf " this person was a high rank in the white fang force or rather this person was the main force of the white canine ."
Qrow : " Ozpin was interested in the girl , so for a while I collected information about her for him . It turned out that she is a wolf faunus with dual characteristics which is already rare or rather not found "
Qrow :" Because of the fact that she wore a custom wolf skull mask all the time and her hair was white , some people started referring to her as a "white wolf " . It is not known from where or when the nickname "Lappy" began to be used. Eventually it was " Lappy the white wolf " that gained the most fame . "
Qrow : "And that's honestly all I was able to find out about her , despite the fact that she was notorious for most of her actions and activities no one knew anything about her . Most people didn't even believe that she had dual features , it was said that either her ears were part of a mask or her tail was fake and she was doing it to mask her identity "
Qrow : " In the end I never delved into it more , because she died and Ozpin thinking it was agents of you know who themselves eliminated this girl. Because of which Ozpin gave up the idea of recruiting her . "
Says Qrow looking at Tai giving him time to think .
Tai : " White-haired wolf faunus , double animal traits , name Lappland . Lappy white wolf ."
Says Tai understanding Qrow's logic .
Qrow : " Right ? It's hard not to think about it like that , especially since Yang's description is all the information I collected myself . "
Says Qrow looking at Tai who was disturbed by Qrow's words but nevertheless he knows well that this is not the whole story and the fact that his daughter's sympathizer is possibly a former member of the white fang can not be the worst here , especially since Ozpin's name was mentioned in the conversation . This is what his parental instinct told him .
Tai : " What did Ozpin want from her and why that woman would be interested in her ?"
Asks Tai delving into the subject of Lappy, hearing Ozpin's name beaing implicated .
Qrow : " There have been rumors saying that her eyes was able to frighten even grimmy normal I would just say that it was said to make the figure of the white wolf even more threatening but we got recordings .... She really drove the herd away with just a look ."
These words were enough to shake Tai for a moment .
Tai : " Silver eyes . That's impossible ?."
Asks Tai looking at the nodding Qrow .
Qrow : " Maybe so I never confirmed that she had them but looking at the fact that her eyes were not pure silver , rather not . But the girl could have been a trump card for us even without eyes . If there were not some problems with her. "
Qrow said , causing concern in Tai because of his tone .
Tai : " What do you mean by problems ? Isn't being a member of a terrorist group the worst thing ?"
Asks a concerned Tai to which Qrow sighs deeply not sure if Tai wants to know more .
Qrow : " It is fine when your enemy calls you a monster , the problem is when an ally starts to do the same . From what I learned this girl is a cruel machine without empathy . With high skills and experience , equipped with a powerful semblance she has made many names for herself . Unfortunately, none positive ."
Qrow : "She killed not only people , hunters but even fsunus fleeing the white fang or simply disagreeing with her opinion. Addicted to blood , fighting , alcohol and drugs . She was a monster who was eventually eliminated ."
Qrow : " With such a reputation even if half of this is true I have not found even one good opinion about her . She has more enemies than friends . Only a few seem to associate her in a positive light , and they are all very old members of the White fang . Thanks to them I learned that the girl has a close relationship with the Belladona family and has many problems " in her head " that she can not deal with ."
Qrow : " However, no matter how I searched , couldn't find anything about her past total conspiracy of silence even Ozpin and Ironwood found nothing . What with their contacts and plugs is impossible . Ironwood is a rank general but he knows nothing about this girl as if she does not exist . "
Qrow :" Even without her data , not finding anything was disconcerting even to Ozpin who strangely insisted on continuing so in the end I even went to the menagerie to check the information but apart from the girl herself I found nothing ."
Said Qrow when Tai only after a while understood Qrow's words .
Tai : " Have you met her ? "
Qrow : " Yes , I saw her hanging around the Belladon residence . And despite the fact that I was in my second form she paid attention to me . She didn't detect me but she looked at me with those eyes of hers . "
Qrow : "Silver with blue just as Yang described which confirmed then that she was not a warrior with silver eyes , I know nothing about the scar because of the mask but I saw that she had white hair with dark tips . From the overall figure she looked young maybe 16 or 17 years old just a kid "
Qrow : "However, this atmosphere around her was something new . Combined with those eyes of hers filled with emotional emptiness , I'm not surprised that the grimms were running away . I will never forget those eyes not in a child ,it was not the eyes of a teenager but of an adult who has lived through hell and is still living in it ."
Said Qrow when at the mention of the girl's age his face changed expression for a moment but Tai noticed it well and knew that such things would always affect Qrow which makes sense knowing that he had similar experiences in life .
Qrow : "My knowledge agrees with Yang's description all too well but don't talk about it Yang for now , I'm not sure and don't want to come off as a racist by calling every faunus a criminal . It could just be a coincidence there are thousands of faunus in the world ,maybe Lappy and Lappland are two different names . Perhaps they are sisters or distant family ."
Says Qrow looking at the concerned Tai .
Tai : " Coincidence ? Coincidence ? Can there be that many ? When too many coincidence and connections exist at the same time can it be coincidence ? Faunus with two features Qrow ! How many of these do you meet because I have met only one. "
Asks Tai looking at Qrow who only sighs at the reaction of his brother-in-law .
Qrow : " I have not confirmed anything Tai . Even if it is the same person what are you going to do about it ? Are you going to lock Yang in a room ? You know very well that the girl will not stop , did you tell her about Raven ? And what she is doing is looking for her it will be the same with this girl , if Yang really likes her she will try to change her and you will not stop it . After all you were the same with Raven ."
Said Qrow making the room go silent .
Qrow : " We don't know the whole story . The death of the white wolf has always been suspicious to me . We don't know the girl Yang is talking about but maybe if she and White Wolf are the same person. Then this fake death perhaps is her attempt to escape, maybe she wants changes in her life . "
Qrow :" The girl Yang was talking about wants to become a huntrres .Do you really believe that Yang would be so stupid not to sense danger ."
Qrow says making Tai's anxiety lessen a bit because he knew well that Qrow was right as Yang was always able to recognize someone's character .
Qrow : " Who knows maybe this girl no longer wants to go down the path she was going . Or in Yang's words she is sick and needs help . If I said that it is impossible for someone to change the path they are walking then that would be hypocrisy on my part .Of course as long as it is actually true identity ,after all the white wolf is dead . "
Qrow says while getting lost in his thoughts . But hearing this words coming from Qrow Tai knows that he can not judge this situation at all .
Tai : " Then if she is dead then why are you worried ? . "
Asks Tai looking at Qrow who scratched his neck and then lowered his head low . The next looking at Tai he says .
Qrow : " Honestly, I don't know it was a hunch a fleeting thought . So don't worry about this anymore ."
Qrow :" If something was going to happen it would have happened already , even more so after Yang's situation with this girl . Believing the rumors Yang would already have problems . "
Says Qrow reminding Tai that his daughter threw up on the girl in question .
Qrow : " We will take over the situation without panicking.Knowing Yang she will bring this girl here to introduce her to us . Then when I look at her I will confirm if it is her or not . And for now let's give this girl and Yang time to breathe . If it still worries you , then at my free time I will fly after Yang and see how she is holding up " .
Says Qrow sighing knowing that Tai will not give his daughter peace . However , despite the fact that he tries to be neutral there is still anxiety in his body because he knows that he may or may not be wrong and the girl may really be dangerous .
Thinking about this Qrow was completely unaware that he was right about her identity but unfortunately this girl had become rather more dangerous which left evidence in one of the alleys in the Vale .
An alley in which a girl with an umbrella in her hand was staring . Although the shadow of her umbrella covered the upper part of her face , it didn't matter in the darkness of the night when a pair of her mismatched eyes stared into the dark alley from which the rain washed out more and more blood , up to the white heeled shoes belonging to the girl .
But paying no attention to the blood-red water, the girl continued to stare at the alley darkness in which she could see the outlines of a man lying on the ground with a tall object protruding from his chest and another lying nearby as his head protruded from beyond the darkness .
However, it was the image of the more lighted part of the alley that most caught the girl's eye. Lying there were three dead bodies one almost split in half from shoulder to hip which allowed his lungs to catch " fresh air". Next to him was a massive man with a ragged face and dented chest and further on lay the body of a young boy and it was this body that caught the girl's attention .
Roman :" As I say , even if it's her , you won't have time to find her before she finishes . Now let's go back , In a moment all the cops in the area will be here ."
Said rain-soaked Roman looking at Neo standing in front of him who continued to stare blankly at the empty alley . Sighing at his partner's displeasure, Roman looked behind him where he saw a store window under which lay the lower part of a human body, from the waist down to be exact.
The mere sight of the body had no effect on Roman who only after seeing something like unformed excrement falling out of a protruding piece of intestine caused him disgust on his face . However, as if not listening to him Neo caught something with her eyes and moved forward into the middle of the alley not caring about the ghastly atmosphere and the stench of blood which even the rain could not wash away .
