Chae-Yeong is a rwby oc I made originally for a ttrpg that I'm running. I said it in the submission, but she's an autistic ace-pan milf. Since rwby uses a lot of fairy tale allusions, her allusions are to the Paper Ballerina from the Steadfast Tin Soldier, the Scarlet Pimpernel, and I like to joke also to the mythical ethical billionaire
Currently she's the CEO of Vermeil Industries, a company that largely produces vehicles. Aware that she has far more money than anyone ever should, Chae-Yeong created the Vermeil Foundation, which is designed specifically to help people who are struggling financially by providing free shelter and resources to help them get to a more comfortable situation. She's a firm believer in rehabilitative justice and is known to hire people released from jail to help try to give them a more legitimate means of supporting themselves, and in general her company pays very well and has great benefits regardless of what you're doing there
But Chae-Yeong is also aware that sometimes rehabilitative justice on its own isn't enough, so combining that with her anger issues in need of direction, she became a vigilante called the Scarlet Shepherd. At night she fights against people who are trying to take advantage of others, meaning she's often dealing with people hired by the rich and powerful. Again tying into the Batman joke, she's very anti-killing, so a lot of her goals with being the Shepherd are to provide some immediate justice by physically stopping others from doing harm. But when the day comes and she goes back to her normal life, she then focuses on getting people the help they need to change for the better and grow
If you want more info for her and her overall vibe, check out her character tag on my blog (easy access to it in the tags of this post!). I also have multiple fics featuring her on my ao3 (most of them really lol), so you can read about her there. This one is just under 700 words and a character study from the pov of someone who dislikes her, so imo it's a good place to start learning more about her. And this one is longer, but it's written to be like a newspaper article talking about her so it's another good look at her public image
