Weiss Schnee \\ Cup of Joe

Weiss is a character from the RWBY universe. Weiss is a pale-skinned young woman with pale blue eyes and long white hair that is often pulled back into an off-center ponytail or braid on the right side and pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara. Weiss has a scar which runs vertically down her left eye and face, gained during her battle against an Arma Gigas long ago.

Weiss wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this, she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest.

Everything has been decided for Weiss in her life and because of it, she is a bit of a rebel. This manifests itself in her physical appearance as she wears her ponytail to the side of her head, disrupting the symmetry of the rest of her outfit. When someone states that Weiss has received everything she wanted in life, she responds that it is not entirely true, thinking of her father's attitude and abusive nature. She takes pride in her name and the company, though, as seen when she first meets Blake, when she discusses it with her team in Mountain Glenn and when she confronts her father over it. Weiss is nice but can also be a little bit rude. She is irritable and confident in her abilities, though also acknowledges her deficiencies and the need to hone her skills further. Her confidence in her skills and intellect often comes off as arrogance to others. Weiss takes her time at Beacon more seriously than her teammates, taking notes even when the topic is not related to the knowledge she seeks. She equates such dedication in the classroom with dedication in the field. Thus, she is annoyed at those who do not take things seriously, especially when it comes to becoming protectors against the Grimm. Weiss remains calm and tactical during encounters and mentally coaches herself. She is thoughtful and fights with precision and coordination. Weiss vows that as a Huntress, she will elevate the Schnee name from her father's dishonor to it and put her desires behind others' necessities. Weiss has demonstrated the ability to keep a level head in the face of intense and deeply emotional situations. Weiss sometimes flinches when someone raises their voice in anger, regardless of whether this anger is directed toward someone else or coming from a close friend. This unconscious habit may have been another result of her dysfunctional childhood and strained family life, as it has been implied by Weiss that her father and mother would frequently fight with each other in angry voices. Weiss has been described by Blake as the personification of the word "defiance." This is shown to be true in her various rebellions against those who try to decide things for her, or make assumptions about her. Weiss gets annoyed at being called "Ice Queen" and doesn't like the nickname.

Weiss likes coffee, despite most people immediately assuming she'd like tea for being fancy and rich. She really loves it, to the point she might be considered a coffee connoisseur, knowing just what exactly is good coffee and how to both prepare and enjoy it, but she is frustrated at the coffee provided at Beacon Academy, believing it to be of lower quality and prepared in a much worse way than what she's used to in Atlas.
