Permaberry Neopolitan

1. #1Roman Torchwick

   Roman Torchwick is a major antagonist in RWBY, serving as the main villain of Volume 1 and a secondary antagonist in Volumes 2 and 3. A tall, lanky man with orange hair and a distinctive bowler hat, he was a charismatic and manipulative career criminal. Roman was born in Wind Path, abandoned by his mother, and became a pickpocket in Mistral. He was briefly mentored by Lil' Miss Malachite before his ambition led him to defect and become an independent criminal mastermind in Vale. Roman held a nihilistic worldview, believing the world to be cruel and that only those willing to take what they wanted could survive. He took gleeful pleasure in his elaborate heists and infamy. His weapon of choice was Melodic Cudgel, a cane that doubled as a cannon and grappling hook, which he used with impressive skill and accuracy. Roman was also a skilled pilot, capable of operating Bullheads and Atlesian Paladin-290s. Despite his independent nature, he was coerced into working with Cinder Fall, though he has no respect for her or the White Fang, often referring to Faunus derogatorily. Roman genuinely cares for his partner, Neopolitan, which was a rare display of his self-serving personality. He never discovered a Semblance, relying instead on his wits, charm, and strategic planning.

2. #2Cinder Fall

   Cinder Fall is a central antagonist in RWBY, a Human and the current Fall Maiden. She is a key member of Salem's Inner Circle and led her own faction, being the main antagonist of the Beacon Arc. Cinder's backstory reveals a life of servitude and abuse as a child, first in an orphanage and later at the Glass Unicorn hotel under an abusive step-family. Her Semblance was awakened due to this mistreatment, and she was briefly mentored by Rhodes, a Huntsman. Cinder's personality is characterized by her ruthlessness, sadism, and cunning, driven by an insatiable desire for power and a deep-seated hatred for the elite class. She gained her Maiden powers by stealing them from Amber. Cinder is highly skilled in combat, capable of formidable swordsmanship, unarmed fighting, and marksmanship. Her Semblance, Scorching Caress, allows her to super-heat and manipulate objects, creating projectiles and explosions. As the Fall Maiden, she can control weather and natural elements, influence Grimm, and conjure explosive weapons. Despite her power, her desperation often clouded her judgment, leading to betrayals of her allies.

3. #3Emerald Sustrai

   Emerald Sustrai is a character who is an associate of Cinder Fall and Mercury Black's partner, operating within Cinder's Faction. She later defected to Ruby's Group in "Risk". Emerald presents as friendly and outgoing, but this facade hides a darker, quick-witted, and sometimes petty nature. Her primary loyalty is to Cinder, to whom she felt she owed "everything," and she is willing to undertake initiatives to impress her. She is a master thief, highly skilled in pickpocketing and stealth. Emerald's Semblance, Hallucinations, allows her to create individual mental illusions by modifying sensory information in a person's brain. This ability is not limited to biological targets but can also affect mechanical ones, though it limits her mobility. Over time, her Semblance evolved, enabling her to affect multiple people and sense their minds.

4. #4Mercury Black

   Mercury Black is an antagonist in RWBY, primarily known as an associate of Cinder Fall and the partner of Emerald Sustrai. Mercury endured an abusive upbringing by his assassin father, Marcus Black, who physically and emotionally tormented him and stole his Semblance. Despite this, he remained dedicated to Salem's cause, though he later began to question his loyalty upon learning her true destructive goals. Mercury is generally carefree and enjoys joking, particularly with Emerald, but he also possesses a serious and strategic mind in critical situations. He is observant, tactical, and analytical, capable of deducing opponents' abilities and using subterfuge. His primary weapons are Talaria, a pair of dual ranged shotgun boots. Unlike most active fighters in RWBY, Mercury succeeded without ever fully developing or utilizing his Semblance due to it being stolen, though he originally had one.

5. #5Adam Taurus

   Adam Taurus is a major antagonist in RWBY, a Faunus whose animal counterpart is a bull, identified by his reddish-black horns. He was formerly a worker for the Schnee Dust Company and bore their brandmark across his left eye, which was scarred and bloodied. This experience fueled his path to joining the White Fang, an organization fighting for Faunus civil rights, where he eventually rose to become the High Leader after murdering the previous leader, Sienna Khan. Adam was initially a mentor and former romantic partner to Blake Belladonna. His personality was shaped by inhumane treatment, leading him to become ruthless, sadistic, and vengeful, especially towards Blake, whom he relentlessly chased after their separation. He was also highly ambitious, desiring to start a war with humanity and enslave them. Adam was an expert swordsman, favoring the "Iaijutsu" method, and was adept in unarmed combat. His Semblance, Moonslice, allowed him to absorb and re-emit energy as powerful red strikes, or to boost his speed and strength, even piercing opponents' Aura. However, he was vulnerable without his sword to channel his Semblance, and his emotional instability and anger often led to reckless actions.

   ADVERTISEMENT Personality

   All my life, I fought for what I thought was right. I had a partner named Adam. More of a mentor, actually. He always assured me that what we were doing would make the world a better place but, of course, his idea of a perfect future turned out to be not perfect for everyone. I joined the Academy because I knew Huntsmen and Huntresses were regarded as the noblest warriors in the world, always fighting for good, but I never really thought past that. When I leave the Academy, what will I—? How can I undo so many years of hate? BLAKE BELLADONNA.

   Blake is described by her voice actress Arryn Zech as being "mellow". She displays a cool, reserved and serious personality most of the time but does not lack a humorous side, which is usually in the form of dry wit and sarcasm. Blake is a righteous person, respecting other people's lives regardless of whether they are Faunus or not. She strongly despises those who judge and discriminate based on racial prejudice. Blake is outspoken, going so far as to indirectly insult the Schnee Dust Company in front of its heiress and defend Faunus of any kind. Despite her generally quiet demeanor, she can be surprisingly charismatic, as when she rallied the Faunus to defend Mistral against the White Fang after the attack on her home.

   Blake is shown to be an introvert. Although she reads books to distance herself from the discussion at hand, as the series continues, she is shown to be more facetious and friendly. Blake appears most conversant when discussing the history and plight of her people.

   As a Faunus, Blake has faced discrimination in the past and wears a bow when around Humans in order to be treated for her character and not her species. However, despite having no hate for Humans, she has seen how the real world works and wonders how she can undo so many years of hate and pain. After the Fall of Beacon, Blake discards her bow and does not cover her ears again, even around the presence of Humans, showing that she is no longer afraid to be seen as a Faunus.

   Blake's past negatively influenced her personality, leading to moodiness, stubbornness, sleep deprivation and trust issues at times. She also has self-loathing issues, viewing herself as a criminal hiding in plain sight because of her past with the White Fang until her teammates convinced her that they still trusted and cared for her despite her being a Faunus and a former member of the White Fang. She also viewed herself as a coward who ran from her problems, as her Semblance was a prospect of her tendency to avoid conflict. She had even felt unworthy of her parents' love after leaving them behind for the White Fang's cause. However, her strong sense of righteousness led her to strongly disagree with the White Fang's increasing level of violence and hatred towards Humans, especially Adam's. It was thanks to her realization of seeing how spiteful and uncaring Adam was for Human lives she not only left the group but also decided to fight back after discovering Adam was planning to overthrow Sienna Khan and gain total control over the White Fang.

   Thanks to her parents' unconditional love and Sun Wukong's support of her, Blake began to grow out of her self-loathing issues and mistrust for others, with Sun persuading her to let her friends help her as much as she believes she is helping them. She uses this in turn to persuade Ilia Amitola to leave the White Fang and find the courage to confront Adam with others' help and to reunite with her teammates at Haven. After she and Yang kill Adam for good, she vows to keep her promise by never running again, no longer viewing herself as a coward.

   During her time at Beacon, she learns to open up more and trust her teammates and became more fun loving while hanging out with her friends, but when the Battle of Beacon happened, and Adam vowing to destroy everything she loved, she was regressed to loneliness and isolation, until Sun's persistence helps straighten out her understanding of the value and importance of having friends. After saving Haven Academy, reconciling with her teammates, and defeated Adam for good, she starts to relearn how to relax and have fun, such as going clubbing with Yang and Team FNKI.

   Due to her time in the White Fang, Blake holds a bias against Atlas and its military as a whole. This is most noticeable regarding her double standard in keeping secrets. In "A New Approach", she goes along with Ruby's decision to lie to James Ironwood and keep Ozpin's disappearance, how many questions left in the Relic of Knowledge, and Salem's immortality a secret. Yet in "Worst Case Scenario", she and Yang have no trouble spilling information on the Amity Communications Tower to Robyn Hill despite Ironwood's insistence on keeping it secret, due to the former sympathizing with her nature as a vigilante. These acts are one of the reasons why Ironwood eventually loses trust in them.

   Her Faunus traits also seem to give her other aspects of a cat, such as climbing up to Ruby's bed to stay away from Ruby and Yang's pet dog, Zwei. Another time, she is distracted by and instinctively decides to follow a laser pointer light to a waiting Yang in "Burning the Candle". She also has a great love for tuna, as shown in "Round One" where she drools over a bowl of noodles topped with tuna.

   In “A Cat Most Curious“, when Blake’s past self offers Blake an opportunity of changing her form to either a human or a cat in order to fit in and not being discriminated, Blake declines her offer as she is done hiding for who she is, and she is proud to be a Faunus. It shows on much Blake has changed and accept her status as a Faunus as she has many people who treated her equally.

   ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

   Blake shows high agility, speed, and endurance, as shown when fighting multiple enemies yet maintaining motion and energy without fatigue. She also exhibits a high level of skill when handling Gambol Shroud. She can slash away at opponents with startling speed and deflect incoming machine-gun fire using her blade.

   Blake also possesses remarkable reflexes, as she is able to dodge a nearly point-blank strike from Adam by using her Semblance. She is also capable of jumping large distances, leaping from building to building and even on moving cars, as seen in "Painting the Town...". Her fighting style takes advantage of her agility and reflexes, evading opponents' strikes until she is in the best position for a counterblow.

   As a Faunus, Blake possesses the ability of night vision, granting her the ability to see proficiently in the dark, as is shown after shooting out the power during the White Fang Faction Meeting, using the dark as a means for her and Sun to escape from Roman Torchwick and the White Fang.

   Blake has somewhat enhanced hearing as well, having more than one set of ears. During her battle with Adam in "The Lady in the Shoe", she hears Yang's approach before Adam does, as indicated by her twitching cat ears.

   She displayed decent control of Aura on two different occasion offensively, releasing crescent slashes from Gambol Shroud in "Painting the Town...", cutting through multiple missiles released by the Atlesian Paladin-290 Prototype and "No Brakes" on the underground Black Cargo Train. Weapon

   Main article: Gambol Shroud 1003 Black Trailer 3586 Blake dual-wielding the sword and sheath Blake's weapon of choice is Gambol Shroud, a sword that has three forms. When sheathed, the weapon is able to slice opponents in two with its cleaver-like cover. However, when unsheathed, Blake is able to use both a sword and sheath in tandem against her opponents. It can also transform into a gun. Gambol Shroud was damaged in combat against Adam in "The Lady in the Shoe"; the blade being cut horizontally in half by Wilt and later received an upgrade in Atlas. Using the black ribbon that extends off the weapon's grip, Blake can convert Gambol Shroud into a kusarigama, a grappling hook to swing herself or her friends, or ensnare or tangle her opponents. In "The Final Word", Gambol Shroud's ribbon is burned in two by Cinder; it is briefly taken up by Weiss but is subsequently lost to the Void when the Evacuation Central Location dissolves. She later gets her weapon back after landing in the Ever After.

   Semblance

   Main article: Shadow 1108 Players and Pieces 13769 Using her Semblance in mid-air to launch herself toward a Nevermore Blake's Semblance, Shadow, allows her to create shadow-clones of herself.[10] These clones push her in the direction of her choosing and can be used to trick and disorient opponents.

   Blake can use Dust to give her clones additional abilities. Dust allows the clones to copy an element, with her afterimages becoming completely solid or even completely intangible depending on the chosen form of Dust. Fire Dust allows her to create fiery clones that explode on contact, Ice Dust allows her to create solid ice copies of herself (which opponents can get their weapons stuck in), Earth Dust allows her to create a clone of solid stone, and Lightning Dust zips her to another location quickly.

   Superpowers

   Blake Shadow Bending FX Reference 1 Concept art of Blake's shadowbending powers. In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Blake is transformed into a human after traveling to Earth. She loses her Aura, Semblance, and Faunus instincts, in exchange receiving superpowers akin to Earth's metahumans. Blake's superpowers are called "shadowbending". They enable the control over darkness-like energy, mainly in the form of dark energy blasts. She can also generate constructs out of darkness/shadows and fly via wing constructs. She loses these powers upon leaving Earth.

   Weaknesses

   Although Blake does not appear to have many physical weaknesses, her Gambol Shroud does in its kusarigama form. If she is using it to grapple and leap around, one can knock it out of its intentional trajectory to make her lose momentum. One can even cut its ribbon and force Blake to fall whilst she is swinging.

   Some of her Dust clones through her Semblance can also be used against her, as seen when she was knocked aside by her own Ice Dust clone in a fight against a Cenitaur.

   Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes Behind the Scenes

   Ruby Rose is the main titular protagonist of RWBY. She is a Huntress, having been trained at the now defunct Beacon Academy. Her weapon of choice is her High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe known as Crescent Rose, which she designed herself.[14]

   Ruby first appeared in the "Red" Trailer, visiting the grave of her mother, Summer Rose. After an invitation from Professor Ozpin following a short battle with Roman Torchwick, Ruby attends Beacon Academy in order to become a Huntress. During her time at Beacon, Ruby became a member and the leader of Team RWBY, consisting of herself, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and her older half-sister, Yang Xiao Long.[15]

   However, after the disbandment of her team following the Fall of Beacon, Ruby travels to Haven Academy as a member of Team RNJR with the remaining members of Team JNPR. After the Battle of Haven, Team RWBY is reunited again, and they alongside their friends continue to fight in the war against Salem and her forces.

   Following a battle with Neopolitan in the Central Location, Ruby was dropped into the void by Cinder Fall and ended up in another realm, the Ever After, along with the rest of Team RWBY and Jaune.

   In “The Perils of Paper Houses”, she ran away from her team due to stress taking a heavy toll on her psyche, later finding herself in a trap set by Neo in "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble". The ensuing confrontation broke Ruby's spirit, eventually causing her to ascend. However, in “Of Solitude and Self”, she eventually accepted herself and returned to help her team defeat the Curious Cat and return to Remnant.

   In lieu of her usual full black stockings, Ruby wears thigh-high stockings reaching to a few inches below the hem of her skirt, decorated by an image of a long-stemmed rose. Her red-soled black boots contain four straps and buckles apiece.

   Her cloak has a singular clip on the right shoulder in the shape of her emblem, replacing the cross-shaped clips from her original attire. Both the cloak and the stockings show tears from hard wear.

   Atlas Outfit (Volume 7-Current)

   After arriving in Atlas and meeting with James Ironwood, Ruby's hair becomes spikier and choppier with her bangs swept to the side.

   She has a new outfit, comprised of a black and red lined lace-up corset with four buckles hanging loose over a mesh sleeveless top over a white low cut long-sleeved blouse, as well as a black choker around her neck. She wears a red pleated skirt that is split at the side with a small brown belted strap across the gap, and bright red shorts under it. On her arms, she wears black bracers with large brown buckled straps around the wrist as well as black fingerless gloves.

   Around her waist, she now has a brown belt with several bullets with a buckle of her emblem on it alongside a pouch on the right side with a Zwei based emblem and she wears black, thigh-high steel-toe boots with red soles and heels, a single buckled strap, rear seam and a large brown buckled strap with attached pouches near the top, over a pair of brown mesh tights. In addition, her torn cape is replaced with a new cape that has a hood as shown in "Pomp and Circumstance".

   In “The Parfait Predicament”, she gave up her Emblem pin in exchange for the last ingredient to make her teammates big again after they had been shrunk down by the Red Prince. In "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", her battle outfit was mostly damaged after her fight with Neo and her illusions, but after her Ascension in "Of Solitude and Self", her outfit is repaired, and she regains her emblem pin.

   Lucid Dream Outfit (Ice Queendom)

   For Ruby, she wears a black hoodie, with red trim on the pockets, a red jacket with pockets, both with some white trimming. She also wears a baggy white undershirt, but only the lower portion can be seen. She wears black tights similar to her Vale outfit, which transition to red, starting from the knees downward, a pair of red sneakers with Velcro, made especially for her snowboard. She sports with a medium dark brown fanny pack slung over her shoulder, which is used to hold coins in the dream world. Atop her head is a red winter cap with two pom-pom balls dangling on the side, snowboard goggles, and 'RWBY' woven into it in white.

   Earth Outfit

   After arriving on Earth, Ruby's hair is styled in a small ponytail with fringes vaguely similar to Robyn's, except with a forelock curled upwards. Her attire is a black unitard with silver trimming, white sleeves with red lines that extend from the back, a red scarf wrapped around her neck in the same manner as Robyn's, black finger gloves with an opening on the back hand, and dark red on the mid-torso, along with a gradation on the legs that turn into heeled boots. Her emblem is embossed on her chest. She is also a bit taller than she was on Remnant, hinting she aged a bit on Earth.

   As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books — someone who fought for what was right and who protected people who couldn't protect themselves. RUBY ROSE.

   Ever since she was little, Ruby has had a romanticized view of the Huntsman profession. She is quick to reveal she wanted to become a Huntress in order to be like the great heroes in fairy tales, and she has described being one as far more "romantic" than being a police officer. Her mentality is described as "I don't have time for my emotions. I've gotta make sure that everybody else is okay."[17] Lindsay Jones claims Ruby's mentality is "selfless, but that means she's not dealing with her own issues. Compartmentalizing and internalizing her grief is what might eventually destroy her."[18] She has also shown a distinct lack of ability to pick up social cues due to being a very open and honest person. This results in her inability to pick up Weiss' sarcasm in the "The Shining Beacon" and her struggling to act formally in "It's Brawl in the Family".

   Ruby is a self-proclaimed dork when it comes to weapons; she is quite intelligent, having designed and built Crescent Rose during her time at Signal, although she admits to going "a little overboard" with its design. She feels that seeing new weapons "is like meeting new people, but better." Oum has said she relies on Crescent Rose quite often in battle.

   Ruby has a strong sense of moral justice, a trait she obtained from stories about heroes and monsters that her sister used to read for her, as well as the way her parents raised her. These stories are what gave her the ideals that she wished to live by and uphold throughout her life and are the reason for her love for books.

   Ruby is shown to be naïve as although she doesn't like to be the center of attention, becoming a Huntress would effectively put her in the spotlight. In addition to her dislike of attention, Ruby prefers to either be alone or with Yang. However, she has become comfortable around Team RWBY and Team JNPR. She does not lack social skills but has problems when meeting new people. This is mostly because of her childish nature and lack of social grace, as she can be bad-mannered (only out of ignorance) and sometimes speaks without thinking. However, because of her enthusiastic personality, she can become very good friends with people who share her enthusiasm.

   Despite this, Ruby's leadership skills make her a worthy teammate. While she may occasionally act without thinking, sometimes she seems to understand the situation better than most. She can then use this ability to quickly formulate plans. This was seen during Team RWBY's battle with the Nevermore, in which her teammates' positions allowed her to come up with a successful plan. After Ozpin assigned Ruby as leader of Team RWBY and talked to her in "The Badge and The Burden, Pt.2", Ruby took her new role seriously, studying so hard and so late, she fell asleep in the middle of the task. She has become a resourceful and dependable leader and was also able to pass her beliefs as leader to Jaune Arc, thus helping him find a new sense of responsibility for the safety and well-being of his own team.

   Ruby is also shown to care for all her teammates equally, despite their background. This is seen in how she expresses sympathy for Weiss' bad childhood after she explains her family's history with the White Fang, before showing the same concern moments later for Blake Belladonna when she runs away, having let slip her prior involvement with the group, and by extension indirectly revealing that she was a Faunus. Ruby's concern is further expressed in her desperate search for her teammate. This sense of care is later shown not to be limited to her teammates. She also shows some worry for Penny, telling the latter to stay out of the fight between Roman Torchwick, Blake Belladonna, and Sun Wukong.

   Although Ruby has no trouble interacting with her friends, she does have trouble actually making them, and once admits that seeing new weapons "is like meeting new people, but better". This could have been a result of her having been accepted two years earlier to Beacon Academy, which forces her to leave her friends at Signal behind, as well as interact with people that are both older and more experienced than she is. Regardless, both she and Jaune Arc toast to being socially awkward during the Beacon Dance.

   In the second chapter of the manga, it is revealed that Ruby originally had enochlophobia, a fear of large crowds, as shown when she freezes up during a sparring match against Cardin Winchester. However, she manages to work through that fear with some encouragement from her teammates long enough to win the spar, and by the Vytal Festival, she has overcome them entirely.

   Despite her social awkwardness, Ruby is far from shy: she is enthusiastic and often eager to speak her mind. She is capable of being assertive, when necessary, as she has verbally stood her ground against many people who have tried to dissuade or humiliate her, including Weiss Schnee before they became friends, Roman Torchwick, Neopolitan, Caroline Cordovin and James Ironwood. Despite her usual kindness, Ruby can also be stern with her friends and close ones when she feels it necessary, such as arguing with Qrow in Argus or with Yang in Mantle.

   Ruby also has a sweet tooth, preferring five sugars in her coffee and scarfing down a large plate of cookies in "Ruby Rose". She is even seen with a plate of cookies in "Jaunedice", while her friends are eating more nutritious meals. This is shown again in "Alone Together", where Ruby rejoices and accepts coffee after learning Weiss put "blasphemous amounts of cream and sugar" in it.

   In combat or dangerous situations, she is shown to be quite impulsive and battle eager, such as when she attacks a Death Stalker upon seeing it before learning of its high resistance to bullets and blades. This trait contrasts with her adaptability, for she is quite capable of forming attack plans with others in order to take down stronger foes, such as the Nevermore in "Players and Pieces" and Roman in the Atlesian Paladin-290 in "Painting the Town...".

   Ruby has been shown to be ruthless at times when it comes to protecting her loved ones, such as when she nonchalantly cuts off Tyrian Callows' stinger in "Punished" after he manages to injure and poison Qrow Branwen. When Neopolitan knocks Yang over the edge of the Central Location in "Worthy", Ruby attempts to cut Neo in half using the same motion she frequently employs on Grimm.

   In "Lost", Ruby further develops as a leader whenever she and her friends find themselves in trouble. This is evident when she directs the group when they are attacked on the Argus Limited and when she stands up to Qrow after he turns down Jaune's proposed idea of stealing a military airship to get to Atlas. In this, Ruby is a great source of inspiration and admiration for her team. In "Dark", Blake recounts that Ruby's determination and optimism are something that has always inspired her, and she continues to look up to her despite being older. In "Risk", Yang points out that, while Ruby's optimism and determination had occasionally been blind, it was also necessary in many situations, to provide the team with hope when they took risks. In "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", Weiss mentions that Ruby has always been the one to get them through the hard times.

   Ruby prefers to be open and not keep secrets from her teammates and friends. Despite this, she feels it to be necessary on some occasions. In "A New Approach", she lied to Ironwood and kept Ozpin's disappearance, how many questions left in the Relic of Knowledge, and Salem's immortality a secret from him, though she obviously felt uncomfortable in doing so. She later expresses doubt about this decision, as she feels it makes her the same as Ozpin. Eventually, after Ironwood agrees to tell the populace about the Amity project, Ruby has Oscar reveal the truth to him in hopes they can finally trust one another. However, when Ironwood decides to abandon Mantle due to Salem's impending arrival, Ruby realizes he can't be trusted to make the right choices anymore and begins steeling herself to stand by her friends instead.[19]

   As team leader, Ruby constantly retains a brave, determined and positive outlook. However, when depressed or under intense pressure, she requires the same emotional support she often provides to her friends. In Atlas, having to make difficult choices gradually began weighing more heavily on Ruby, especially when her plans would fail, or her team would become divided. She was also disturbed after seeing the core of The Hound, concerned about what Salem could have possibly done to her mother.

   After falling into the Ever After and learning about Penny's death, Ruby's resolve temporarily wavered as she grew more depressed, blaming herself for everything that went wrong in Atlas. She had a hard time even picking up Crescent Rose and felt like she didn't live up to her mother's legacy. Despite normally being open and supportive, at the moment she felt too much pressure to be able to talk about her current feelings of depression, and snapped at her friends for seemingly taking her support for granted. These issues came to a climax when, after being tortured by Neo's clones of her deceased friends and former allies blaming her for her past failures, the Curious Cat revealed to have been manipulated her so they could possess her, as well as seeing Little's death, Ruby momentarily wished she could stop being herself. She decided to drink the tea mixed with the Great Tree's leaf to ascend and become someone better. Eventually, after talking with the Blacksmith, Ruby realized that her own mother wasn't as perfect as she thought, and remembering her words of encouragement from her childhood, she was able to obtain closure and accept her failures, deciding to ascend as herself, regaining her cheerful demeanor, confidence, and will to fight, as shown in her altercation with the Curious Cat and remained unfazed by their attempts to break her again.

   In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two following her experience in the Ever After, she is plagued by the reality of her mortality and fear of a lack of legacy. Thus Ruby begins fighting relentlessly to the point of recklessness to her teams concern. It isn’t until Superman counsels her that she is willing to slow down and learn to cherish her health more to uphold her ideals rather than die for them. Powers and Abilities

   In order to become a Huntress, Ruby trained at Signal Academy, where her skills and abilities far surpassed her peers. Wielding a dangerous weapon like Crescent Rose required strength, balance and adaptability, all of which she demonstrated the night she stopped the robbery of From Dust Till Dawn, a Dust shop in Vale. This led Ozpin to accept her into Beacon Academy two years before the usual age of admittance.

   While at Beacon, Ruby developed skills as a decisive leader, being able to formulate and execute tactical plans with others in order to take down tougher foes, such as the giant Nevermore the team encountered during initiation, and later in coordinated attacks against Roman in an Atlesian Paladin-290. However, perhaps Ruby's greatest strength is her ability to give hope when it is needed most- something Ozpin described as "Something unquantifiable... a spark." She always sees the best in people, and has a knack for finding the right words in the right situation, whether when rallying her teammates, comforting demoralized or suffering allies, or trying to sway enemies to her side. While Ruby's willingness to negotiate has occasionally backfired (such as with Raven in "The More the Merrier" and Ironwood in "Gravity") she has inspired many with her words, actions and perseverance as a leader and Huntress.

   Ruby's sense of balance stands out, particularly in precarious situations like perching on a taut ribbon in "Players and Pieces" or running off an exploding airship in "Heroes and Monsters". Despite her small size, Ruby's physical strength is considerable, given how skillfully she wields the large and bulky Crescent Rose. Perhaps one of the best demonstrations of her strength was during her initiation, when she used Crescent Rose to drag a Giant Nevermore vertically up a cliff, at high speed (although she was assisted by Weiss' glyphs and Crescent Rose's recoil).

   Ruby's fighting style relies heavily on her creative uses of and methods for achieving momentum, relying on a combination of her Semblance and Crescent Rose's recoil to allow her to achieve massive impact force, then speeding away to avoid counterattacks and prepare her next strike. She can also throw her opponents off by creating slipstreams and even small whirlwinds using her Semblance. At closer quarters, she will attempt to overwhelm her opponent with a barrage of lightning-quick slashes, often not allowing them time to dodge or check her attack.

   Ruby also has some skills as a seamstress. According to RWBY: After the Fall, she made her original outfit herself.[20] Weapon

   Main article: Crescent Rose Blur Ruby attacking Beowolves with Crescent Rose Ruby's weapon of choice is Crescent Rose. Ruby is self-admittedly obsessed when it comes to weapons, which shows in her complex design and craftsmanship of her weapon, a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe which she designed herself at Signal, as well as her eye for detail when observing other people's weapons and tools. This weapon can transform between a scythe and a sniper rifle and can fire Dust rounds in either form with massive force. Ruby has proven to have excellent marksmanship, making a perfect headshot on a fleeing Geist in "The Next Step" and shooting down a missile in "The Lady in the Shoe".

   After arriving in Atlas, Crescent Rose was upgraded, with the blade now capable of rotation, allowing Ruby to swing her weapon more freely when in cramped spaces such as caves.

   In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Ruby uses a wooden scythe belonging to Scarecrow after losing Crescent Rose.

   Semblance

   Main article: Petal Burst 1201 Best Day Ever 16878 Ruby using her Semblance Ruby's Semblance, Petal Burst (also known as Speed), allows her to dash with an inhuman speed in whatever direction she chooses, often leaving trails of rose petals in her wake.[21] In "Best Day Ever", Ruby is shown to be capable of creating powerful tailwinds with her Semblance; if she gathers enough momentum, the resulting turbulence is capable of lifting people off the ground.

   Within the episode "Ace Operatives", it was stated by Harriet Bree that Ruby's Semblance is not like other speed-type Semblances, though she does not elaborate.

   It is later revealed by Penny in "Strings" that Ruby's Semblance allows her to disassemble herself at a molecular level and reassemble at a chosen location, negating her mass. With practice, she has proven able to do the same with anyone she is in contact with, similar to Ren's Semblance; she can carry at least four people along with her. This allows her to go around obstacles or through paths that she would not otherwise fit. She has also proven able to negate gravity while using her Semblance; in "The Final Word", she uses her Semblance mid-fall to circle up and around Neopolitan, attacking her from behind. However, as shown by her battle with Mercury in "PvP", if her path is blocked by an unexpected obstacle mid-flight, her Semblance can be disrupted, forcing her to stop.

   Silver Eyes

   Main article: Silver-Eyed Warrior V3 12 00136 Ruby using her Silver Eyes Through her mother, Summer, Ruby comes from a line of legendary warriors who possessed powerful abilities related to their Silver Eyes, said to be an extremely rare trait. Upon seeing Pyrrha Nikos die in "End of the Beginning", Ruby accidentally uses this power in her grief and petrifies the Wyvern. However, she has no memory of doing this other than her head hurting. Later in the episode, Qrow describes a fairy tale about warriors with Silver Eyes who are so powerful that even the Grimm fear them.

   In "The Next Step", it is revealed that Ruby's powers injured Cinder Fall greatly, causing her to lose her left eye and arm, and making it difficult for her to speak for a period of time. Salem states that this is due to Cinder's possession of the Fall Maiden powers but does not explain why this is the case. However, when Ruby uses her powers once again in "The More the Merrier", Raven Branwen, who possesses the Spring Maiden powers, is not affected despite being in the vicinity, indicating that the Maiden powers themselves do not cause an individual to be affected by the Silver Eye. This indicates that the reason Cinder was affected was due to her usage of the Grimm, through a Grimm beetle glove and later a Shadow Hand.

   In "Alone in the Woods", Ruby has managed to activate her power intentionally after Maria Calavera tells her to concentrate on her loved ones, turning a group of Apathy to dust. Through Maria's guidance, Ruby was able to petrify the Leviathan in the episode "Our Way", but the massive Grimm was able to partially destroy the stone encasing its body before it was destroyed by Caroline Cordovin.

   Despite Maria's guidance, Ruby still hasn't fully mastered the activation of her powers. In "Out in the Open", Ruby attempts to activate her eyes while fighting an Alpha Megoliath but is unable to concentrate with all the chaos. However, in "The Enemy of Trust", she quickly and easily activates her Silver Eyes upon seeing Cinder.

   In “Light in Shadows” from RWBY: Ice Queendom, her powers can be activate in dreamscapes. She unknowingly uses it for the first time on a Nightmare to weaken it.

   Superpowers

   In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Ruby lost both her Aura and Semblance with her arrival on Earth, replaced instead with the power of teleportation. When teleporting, she causes a burst of red energy and rose petals. Like on Remnant, she could grab people and take them with her, including inanimate objects.

   Weaknesses

   V2 10 00033 Without her weapon, Ruby is effortlessly beaten by two White Fang goons. Ruby is heavily reliant on Crescent Rose. In contrast to her sister, her hand-to-hand capabilities were rather poor, making her easy to be taken down by mere grunts when unarmed. Without her weapon, there is not much she could do in a fight, and her best bet is to run away with her speed. Her cape, on occasion, has been exploited and used against her, notably during the Beacon initiation when a Nevermore pinned her cape to the ground with its feather-spears. In "Lighting the Fire" Ruby is shown to be slightly improving in hand-to-hand combat under the tutelage of Professor Ozpin through Oscar Pine. She shows this further while battling Mercury in "Downfall"; when disarmed by him, she dodges his next blow and knocks him back with a headbutt.

   Although less skilled in unarmed combat, Ruby can often compensate by using her wits and her surroundings to turn the tables on her opponent, if she is unarmed. She has notably defeated Neopolitan, a much more skilled melee fighter, twice in this manner. The first was atop Ironwood's flagship during the Fall of Beacon, where Ruby managed to activate Hush's parasol and blow Neo off the ship. Later, when Ruby is disarmed in "The Final Word", she tricks Neo into lunging at her, then uses her Semblance to circle behind, disarming her and knocking her off the platform in a single attack. In "With Friends Like These", when Harriet lands multiple blows on her and is about to restrain her, Ruby uses her similar Semblance (which is slower but more maneuverable than Harriet's) to outmaneuver her opponent and turn the tables on her.

   Until she was guided by Maria, Ruby was using the power of her Silver Eyes in reaction to the death of a close friend or a loved one being in danger, without control on her part. In "Gravity", when Ruby experienced negative emotions after she found out about her mother's fate, she briefly lost control the power of her Silver Eyes and her head begun to hurt.

   At least you two have something that drives you. I've just kinda always gone with the flow, you know? And that's fine; I mean, that's who I am, but how long can I really do that for? I wanna be a Huntress, not really because I want to be a hero, but because I want adventure. I want a life where I won't know what tomorrow will bring and that will be a good thing. Being a Huntress just happens to line up with that. YANG XIAO LONG.

   Yang's voice actress, Barbara Dunkelman, has said that when Yang's character was described to her, she was described as "the kind of person who would teach someone how to swim by pushing them in the water".[8] This speaks volumes about how Yang approaches most things in life. She is very straightforward and confident.

   Yang is also described as being a cheerful, energetic, and bright young lady. She is arguably the most flippant, carefree, and adventurous member of her team, frequently making sarcastic comments and jokes even in the heat of battle and often taking combat and hostile situations lightly. Yang is very sociable and extroverted, even in unfamiliar situations. Yang's love of adventure is the main reason that she decided to become a Huntress. Blake considers Yang the personification of the word "strength". According to Ruby, she snores loudly.[9]

   However, Yang's "brawler" fighting style is evocative of her personality. Her anger, one of her main assets in battle, can lead her to act predictably and has put her into danger repeatedly. She was easily frustrated when she couldn't land a hit on Neopolitan and could not attack precisely because of it, leading to her getting knocked unconscious and almost killed. Yang is also very protective of her hair, becoming enraged when someone touches or rips or cuts even a small portion of her hair, causing her to attack with straight, blunt force the one who did it. However she is comfortable with letting Ruby touch or brush her hair or even use it to toy with her sister by tickling her nose. According to Taiyang, she shares a flaw with her mother: thinking strength is all that matters in a fight. Her thoughtless anger also led to the quick loss of her right arm in a short encounter with Adam Taurus after he angered her by injuring Blake. While recovering from her injuries, her father lectures her about this weakness and guides her in what she needs to do to start overcoming it along with her flaw that she shares with her mother.

   Despite this, Yang is quite mature. She is extremely nurturing and motherly, particularly toward her younger sister, Ruby. Yang pushes her into being outgoing and also worries a great deal about her sister across the many battles they fight in. This protective and encouraging nature extends to Blake and Weiss as well. Yang is worried about Blake on several occasions, such as when she runs from her team and when she suffers from sleep and appetite problems, opening Yang to discussing her stubborn past. What Yang does not reveal is that she suffers from abandonment issues, blaming herself for her mother not sticking around.[10]

   Yang is also quite guile as she was able to teach Weiss on how to play Remnant: The Game by explaining to her how to use her cards in the game only to better trick Weiss into wasting her armies. She later used a laser to attract Blake so they would be able to talk and even tricked a bandit into revealing the location of Raven's camp. She is also perspicacious as she saw through her mother's facade and attempt to manipulate her into staying with the tribe during their first meeting, recognized her in her corvid form at Haven, and quickly deduced that her mother was the Spring Maiden and had killed the former maiden.

   However, after the deaths of Pyrrha Nikos and Penny Polendina, the Fall of Beacon, the losses of her right arm and her partner Blake, Yang sunk into a reclusive depression. The mention of her missing partner agitates her and she gives Ruby the cold shoulder and even outright ignores her sister when she says, "I love you". Over months, Yang rebounds from this reclusive nature. Though she suffers from PTSD, she tries to keep moving forward, partially for her father's sake when feeling she holds him back. After overhearing her father and Bartholomew Oobleck talking about Ruby outside her window, she accepts the earlier wisdom of her father, Oobleck, and Professor Peter Port and dons her new cybernetic arm.

   When training with her new limb, she learns how to balance her driven and positive nature without overconfidence or agitation. She paints her arm to match her style, changes to a new outfit, and headed to Mistral although her father believes she has not overcome her personality flaws. Fortunately, she has shown to not be as quick to blind anger in combat anymore and now fights displaying good strategy and intelligence, as seen with her rematch against Adam and when she fought the Ace-Ops. While traveling to Mistral to reunite with Ruby she continues to struggle with her PTSD, which manifests in her left arm shaking when she encounters stress. She, however, appears to have overcome it some time after she and Blake reluctantly killed Adam.

   Yang is extremely sensitive about being abandoned and her "simmering anger" stems from these abandonment issues.[11] For the better part of nearly two decades, Yang spent her life searching for her mother, trying to understand her reasons for leaving. Their first reunion in "Lighting the Fire" also demonstrated how low her opinion was of Raven, reacting with anger after Raven said that Yang finally decided to visit her, making it sound like she was the one responsible for her mother not being a part of her life. She even ignored Raven's attempts at lightening the mood and became hostile upon her father, uncle and Team RWBY being insulted in "Known by its Song". Even after her team's reunion at Haven, Yang was still guarded and kept some distance from Blake, stating in "Argus Limited" that their relationship would need time to heal. After a rematch against Adam in "Seeing Red" however, Yang fully accepted Blake's apologies, giving her partner a second chance and understanding that she was not like her mother.

   Despite her fear of Salem, she was still strongly willing to continue fighting against her and to take the Relic of Knowledge to Atlas, despite knowing that it may put a target on her back. Even after learning about Salem's immortality and knowing that she wasn't a match for her, Yang still went against her in order to allow her friends to escape and did not hesitate to call Salem out on her actions. She also has a good degree of heroism and selflessness, being willing to takes the attacks from an Ursa and from Neo to protect Ruby as seen in the "Volume 5 Yang Character Short" and "Worthy" respectively, and even attacked Salem to save Emerald despite her enmity and distrust for her actions.

   She has an opposition to keeping secrets. In "Rest and Resolutions", she had Ozpin swear not to lie or tell half-truths and later, in "Uncovered", she is upset with him for keeping the nature of the Relic of Knowledge a secret from the group as well as covering up Leonardo Lionheart's treachery. In "A New Approach", she was willing to trust Ruby's judgement in not telling James Ironwood the full truth about Salem and the Lamp, but questioned this decision privately later. When sent to apprehend Robyn Hill in "Worst Case Scenario", she and Blake instead revealed Ironwood's plans for the Amity Communications Tower to her. Despite her staunchness towards half-truths, she is not above telling some herself. In "Haven's Fate", Yang told an account of what happened in the Vault without explicitly bringing up how Raven was the Spring Maiden the whole time.

   Following the events of Volume 7, Yang hardens herself in order to prepare for the overwhelming situation that they were in. She was hurt by what had happened to Mantle and wanted to do whatever she could to help them, hinting at her reason for criticizing her younger sister.[12]

   Despite her good qualities, Yang has a tendency to deflect. In "Divide", she deflects blame by criticizing Ruby's leadership, despite the fact that it was due to her and Blake's actions with Robyn that partially led to Ironwood losing faith in them and bringing about the current situation. In "Fault", when Ren brings up some concern that they were not ready and that their actions will lead to people dying, Yang avoids his direct criticism and tries to deflect by offering counterpoints without addressing his actual arguments. Finally, in “Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble”, she sheepishly deflected responsibility for her part in worsening Ruby’s mental decline, simply stating she shouldn’t have expected herself to be perfect.

   However, unlike her mother, Yang is capable of admitting her wrongs as well as recognizing the qualities of others even when their opinions are different from hers, admitting to Blake that her obsession to search for her mother nearly got herself and Ruby killed when they were young, and during her discussion with Ruby in "Risk", she admitted that her own plan didn't work either after Ruby lamented the failure of bringing Amity Tower up and running, even telling Ruby that her blind optimism wasn't a flaw when she believed she wasted time with it, as it was a necessity in life.

   In "A Cat Most Curious", when Yang’s past self offers Yang an opportunity to be whole again by traveling back in time to regain her lost organic arm, Yang declines her offer as losing a part of herself is what makes her a stronger person. It shows that Yang already accepts her losses by learning from her mistakes.

   In "Boba", Yang felt guilty about putting everything on her sister's shoulders along with her teammates, she vows to Ruby, that from now on, the entirety of Team RWBY will share the burden, and even use the word "Boba" as a safe word if they ever feel overwhelmed. Powers and Abilities

   Yang's fighting style is much more aggressive than that of her teammates. She uses a barehanded fist-fighting style, bearing some resemblance to Muay Thai and her weapons; Ember Celica. She is quite agile, able to dodge an onslaught of Ursai and gunfire with ease. Since gaining her prosthetic arm, Yang has taken to using its armored surface defensively, shielding herself from firearms, and staving off attacks to gain greater ground on her opponents, incorporating its advantages into her improved fighting style following further instruction from her father, Tai.

   She is also physically the strongest of the group. Her strength is displayed on numerous occasions, such as when her punch sent a fully grown man several feet into the air and through a glass pillar without the enhancement of her weapon, and in "Players and Pieces", where she was able to keep the mouth of a Nevermore open with one arm long enough to deliver multiple shots down its throat.

   Like all Huntsmen and Huntresses, Yang has had her Aura unlocked, coating her body with a shield powered by her soul, which helps protect her, especially when her aggressiveness gets her into bad situations. Though she already has the highest level of durability in her team, with her Aura unlocked, her durability is particularly high, as showcased in her doubles match with Weiss against Flynt Coal and Neon Katt during the Vytal Tournament, where she withstands numerous hits from Neon during the bout's opening stages and powers through the effects of Flynt's weapon, knocking him out and securing victory for her side shortly after. Due to the nature of her Semblance and the high durability, Yang would typically absorb enough hits through her Aura to empower herself and then finish the fights with her Semblance, which her father criticizes due to her over-reliance in "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back".

   Since the end of Volume 3 and her mental recovery at the end of Volume 4, Yang's fighting skills had improved immensely after training again. Notably, she has incorporated more kicking and dodging. Her new robotic arm also gives her a higher degree of strength, able to send full-grown men flying from the intensity of her blows. During her rematch against Adam, she defeats him despite his superior speed by adapting her combat technique and avoiding attacking him until he uses up the energy from his Semblance so that she can disarm him, showing her improved intelligence in combat.

   Her fight against Elm and Vine with Blake further showcases her more pragmatic approach to battles. She coordinated her attacks with Blake and refrained from using her Semblance until the last moment to destroy the ground Elm had anchored herself to and deliver the finishing blow. Since Volume 3, her use of her Semblance overall in battle has gone down, as she tends to activate it only as a last resort. Even when she does, rather than absorbing blows to her body, she now tends to deflect or absorb blows with her forearms, as she did in her final battle with Adam Taurus. This enables her to use her Semblance more effectively and runs less risk of her exhausting her Aura when she does so. Weapon

   Main article: Ember Celica V4 11 00020 Yang repaints her weapons - Ember Celica and her Robotic Arm Yang's weapon of choice is Ember Celica, it is radically different compared to those used by her teammates, being a pair of gauntlets which can retract into bracelets. Yang's fighting style involves combining her punches with explosive shots from Ember Celica for moderate or short-ranged attacks.

   Ember Celica has powerful recoil, which Yang can use to augment the force of her punch and accelerate her movements. The force is powerful enough to launch her high in the air. The recoil also reloads and prepares the gauntlets for the next shot.[11]

   She can also use her Ember Celica as a form of armor when defending against attacks in unarmed combat. After the events of "Heroes and Monsters", Yang only has one Ember Celica, due to her lost arm.

   Semblance

   Main article: Burn V3 0600051 Her irises turn red and her hair glows when she uses the power from her Semblance Yang's Semblance, Burn,[11] as Ruby states during the events of "Painting the Town...", lets her absorb kinetic energy from every blow she takes and use it to make herself more powerful; this is a form of kinetic energy absorption, with Yang subsequently redirecting said energy against her opponent with double the amount of force. As a side-effect of her Semblance, Yang's eyes turn red[6] and her hair sometimes begins glowing and even becomes covered in flames. Yang's Semblance does not make her angry, but anger has sometimes led her to impulsively activate it.

   Prior to the Fall of Beacon, Yang often used her Semblance to finish a fight, after absorbing enough damage from blows to overpower her opponent. However, after the Fall of Beacon, she begins to use it far less often and more as a final attack due to her improved training in fighting smarter rather than harder with Taiyang. This is demonstrated during her fights against the bandits and the Grimm between Haven and Argus where she doesn't use her Semblance to fight. At the end of her second and last fight with Adam Taurus, she uses it to disarm and overpower him with a very powerful punch.

   Prosthetic Arm

   Main article: Yang's Prosthetic Arm YangGunArm2 Yang's base prosthetic arm After losing her arm in the Battle of Beacon to Adam Taurus she was given a new robotic arm by James Ironwood. She initially refused it due to depression, but after some time to reflect and heal, at least partially, Yang chose to use it, spray painting the new limb yellow to match her remaining Ember Celica.

   Ember upgraded cropped Upgraded Arm Created by Pietro Polendina, Yang's cybernetic limb possesses great strength. Its power is shown in "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back", where a single blow sent her father, a fully trained Huntsman, skidding back several feet even though Tai blocked the attack. It is also outfitted with most of Ember Celica's features, including a shotgun.[11] As seen in "Rest and Resolutions" and "Downfall", the arm can detach from her bicep at will. It is also durable enough to take a fully charged strike from Adam's Moonslice Semblance and continued functioning even after its damage.

   In Atlas, Yang's arm is modified. It is now larger with more mass and more gold plates around. It more resembles the design of Ember Celica.

   Superpowers

   In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Yang loses her Semblance and Aura upon arriving on Earth (DC). In exchange, she gains the superpower "Fire Fists", enabling to fire energy bursts from her hands, akin to Ember Celica.

   Weaknesses

   V3 11 00124 Yang's short temper and Semblance overeliance causes her to lose her arm to Adam Although Yang gets stronger from taking damage, her frustration and anger can be exploited by skilled opponents. This weakness is perhaps best expressed in her very brief first confrontation with Adam, her anger causing her to recklessly charge him and lose her right arm in the process. However, this drawback is more or less under control after her father Taiyang told her to focus on using her opponent's force against them.

   While taking hits from an opponent vastly increases the power of her Semblance, Yang still takes damage in the process. Despite her high reserves of Aura, too many hits can deplete it completely, breaking her defenses and rendering her Semblance counterattack useless. Conversely, activating her Semblance too soon (as she did against Adam and later Neo) will also weaken her Aura's defenses in exchange for an under-charged counterstrike. Yang is also noted to be weak against kick-based fighting styles, seen when she struggles against Neo, Melanie, and Mercury Black.[13] As time progresses however, she has since adapted to kick fighters.

   As seen in her fight with Neo, fighters well-versed in dodging attacks can frustrate Yang, making her attacks predictable and easily avoided, which also renders the added power with her Semblance useless. The fact that she fights barehanded as opposed to using a melee weapon also limits the reach of her close-quarters attacks, enabling opponents with greater agility to evade her strikes.

   While not necessarily a form of weakness, her emotions can also cause her to unintentionally activate her Semblance even if she is not in a battle. Examples of this include her frustrated outburst in "Players and Pieces", her moment of anger toward Blake in "Burning the Candle" and two times in her doubles round tournament fight in "Never Miss a Beat". In "Worthy" she instinctively activates her Semblance to protect Ruby from Neo's attack, breaking her Aura and being knocked into the void.

   Taiyang somewhat jokingly defines her Semblance as "basically a temper tantrum" and a liability against stronger and more experienced opponents; if they can evade or outlast the duration of her onslaught, she is left weak, tired, and vulnerable to a counterattack. For this reason due to her improved fighting style in "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back", Taiyang tells her it's best left as a last resort rather than a crutch like how she used it in the Vytal Festival and due to her over-reliance of using it to win every fight before.

   ADVERTISEMENT Personality

   When I said I wanted to honor my family's name, I meant it. But — it's not what you think. I'm not stupid; I'm fully aware of what my father has done with the Schnee Dust Company. Since he took control, our business has operated in a 'moral grey area' ... which is why I feel the need to make things right. If I had taken a job at Atlas, it wouldn't have changed anything. My father was not the start of our name, and I refuse to let him be the end of it. WEISS SCHNEE.

   Monty Oum had said that 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 Professor Peter Port states that Weiss has received everything she wanted in life, she responds that it is not entirely true, thinking of her father's attitude. 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.

   Considering the lyrics of her leitmotif "Mirror Mirror", it is very likely that Weiss has felt lonely throughout her life, which translated into a cold nature. Constant attacks by the White Fang added heavy strain to her life, explaining her often difficult personality. Her strict upbringing has also given her a tendency to keep quiet about her own desires, likely not to be seen as vulnerable. After warming up to people, she places a great deal of trust in her friends and confides in them when she feels the need. While she doesn't abandon her prickly attitude completely, she gradually becomes nicer and more compassionate to people, especially her friends.

   According to her voice actress, Kara Eberle, Weiss is "nice but can also be a little bit bitchy." 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. This is also mentioned by Kara, who called her the "know-it-all" type of person who can also become best friends with her acquaintances.

   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.

   After speaking with Professor Port, Weiss' attitude appears to change, as she takes his suggestion to "be the best person [she] can be" to heart. She opens up to Ruby, though she does not halt future criticisms. Weiss' development carries into her whimsical and humorous side as she joins her team in a food fight against Team JNPR and a board game. In "Painting the Town...", Weiss attempts to joke but is met with negative criticism from Yang and Blake. Weiss also enjoys planning and participating in certain events, such as the Beacon Dance.

   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. This solidifies in "Lessons Learned" when Weiss heeds her sister's advice and removes her bindings from the SDC to discover more about herself.

   After being retrieved from Beacon and flown home, Weiss is truly affected by the loss that happened during the Fall of Beacon. She becomes increasingly intolerant of the Atlesian lifestyle she grew up in, seeing it as superficial and ignorant. Her change of perspective is demonstrated by her hostility toward Henry Marigold's insensitive and ignorant attitude about the charity event and her public outburst when a couple talks condescendingly about the destruction of Vale.

   Weiss has demonstrated the ability to keep a level head in the face of intense and deeply emotional situations. When Ironwood's paranoia begins to spiral in "Gravity" Weiss attempts to regain control of the situation by pointing out that his concerns are not relevant to the current situation. After Neopolitan knocked Yang over the edge in "The Final Word", Weiss immediately attempts to comfort Blake before the latter lashes back at Neo in rage. While Ruby and Blake are preoccupied with Neopolitan, Weiss quietly resigns herself and does her duty by fighting Cinder and drawing the Fall Maiden's attention to keep as many civilians out of harm's way as possible during the evacuation.[10]

   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 is first shown in "Taking Control" when she overhears an argument between her father and General Ironwood. It is also shown in "Known by its Song" when Yang snaps at her mother, Raven Branwen, for mocking Qrow Branwen and Taiyang Xiao Long. The latter incident shows Weiss remaining on edge around Yang even after her anger subsides. 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.

   Despite her good qualities, Weiss holds a double standard regarding others and secrets. In "Sparks", she is upset on Winter's behalf due to the fact that she believes Ironwood is keeping secrets from her, even though she went along with Ruby's decision to lie to Ironwood and keep Ozpin's disappearance, how many questions left in the Relic of Knowledge, and Salem's immortality a secret. When Winter reveals Fria to Weiss as a gesture of faith to show that Ironwood has trusted her, Weiss keeps what she knows a secret from her sister.

   Due to the ongoing violence between the SDC and the White Fang terrorist group, Weiss despises the White Fang and shows a noticeable distrust of Faunus at first. The White Fang's activities seem to have contributed to a difficult childhood for Weiss, for she had close ties with numerous people who were either killed by or disappeared because of the White Fang. This led to her father frequently coming home angry, and this further colored Weiss' views on the White Fang and Faunus.

   When Blake defends Sun Wukong's criminal acts, Weiss makes many derogatory comments about him and suggests he would likely join with the White Fang. However, shortly after the fight with Roman Torchwick, Weiss no longer cares about her argument with Blake, stating they are teammates, and it changes nothing. Regardless, she says she remains unsure of how she feels about Sun, but they grow to be on friendlier terms. Weiss and the rest of her team keep Blake's status as a Faunus a secret.

   Weiss' hostility toward the Faunus downgrades considerably through her time at Beacon, as seen when she shows concern for Velvet Scarlatina and the rest of Team CFVY. She is even friendlier and empathetic toward Blake, having placed trust in her as well after fighting alongside Blake against the White Fang several times. In "Dead End" when Caroline Cordovin shows blatant racism towards Blake for her Faunus heritage, Weiss immediately snaps "What's that supposed to mean?!" and in "The Greatest Kingdom" when a drunk shows Blake the same prejudice, Weiss uses Myrtenaster to hurl him into a dumpster, saying it was worth it- showing how significantly her views have changed. When Team RWBY explores an abandoned SDC mine, Weiss expresses shame and remorse to Blake for the pain her family has caused the Faunus.

   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; from her father, to Flynt Coal in the Vytal Festival Tournament (who initially believes she is nothing but a spoilt rich kid) to even General Ironwood and her older sister in Volume 7. This defiance culminates in her encounter with Cinder Fall in "The Final Word", when Weiss is left as the last of Team RWBY to face her; Cinder mocks her status as a Schnee, claiming she let "all her friends die first". Despite her Aura being broken, and outmatched by the Fall Maiden's power, Weiss continues to attack Cinder in order to buy her other friends time- showing that she is, indeed, defiant to the end.

   In “A Cat Most Curious”, when Weiss’ past self offers Weiss opportunity of becoming a nobody and to get rid of her family name, Weiss decline her offer since she is proud to be Schnee. This shows how much she has changed and grown to accept herself as being both the granddaughter of a hero and the daughter of a villain. Ice Queendom

   In RWBY: Ice Queendom, it is implied that she likely used to suffer from both a superiority and an inferiority complex, often coming across as supercilious, haughty, and disdainful towards those she views as being beneath her and seeing herself as a perfect example of what a future Huntress should be but will often fall into long periods of paranoia and self-doubt whenever someone dares to challenge these beliefs.

   This behavior likely stemmed from Weiss's estranged relationship with her father who always expected her to be the best at everything she set out to do but because she could never hope to live up to his expectations was constantly seen as a disappointment in his eyes.

   In the case of Ruby Rose, Weiss is initially dismissive of her believing that she has no place in Beacon and that she isn't worth her time as a leader. However, after her conversation with Port, Weiss misunderstands what he was trying to tell her and resolves to try and "fix" Ruby's flaws as a leader believing that it will help raise her standing with the rest of her team and the other students attending Beacon.

   Weiss is also shown to be far more prejudiced against Faunus in general in this version, showing a strong distrust towards them as the White Fang were responsible for many people she had once known getting hurt or killed. This grudge was so strong that it even extended to her teammate Blake Belladonna as upon finding out the truth about Blake being a Faunus, she burst into angry and fearful tears at having been forced into close proximity with her believing her to be too dangerous to live with.

   After being freed from her nightmare, Weiss's personality has shown to improve vastly becoming much more friendly towards her team and accepting of Faunus. Though she still seeks to be the best that she can be, she acknowledges that there are always going to be things that others can do better than her but resolves to not let it stop her from trying to accomplish her goals.

   ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

   As the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss was raised from youth to strive to be the best in all she did, and combat was no exception. As a testament to her skills, Weiss was on the top ranking of the sparring class during the events of the Vytal Festival. Weiss can move quickly and is creative on the battlefield, particularly with Ice Dust.

   Weiss' fighting style resembles fencing and ballet, where she relies on thrusts and slashes, being heavily reliant on ricocheting off either surrounding surfaces or off of her Glyphs. She relies most on her Semblance, enabling her to switch from offense, defense, support, and evasion. On top of this, it provides greater control of the fight through rapidly attacking from multiple angles to take the enemy off balance. Unlike Winter, Weiss relies more on balance, grace, and speed instead of being aggressive and direct. Learning to summon her Arma Gigas, she fights alongside the Summons, leaping from its sword or using it as a shield, proving able to summon it between glyphs.

   Weiss also has some skills in medical treatment. In "War", she helped Nora Valkyrie after she had injured herself overusing her Semblance by bandaging her up and tending to her at her bedside. However, it is insufficient in fully handling her condition.

   As seen in "The Final Word", Weiss is capable of using guns despite never having been shown to hold any experience with them before, as she shot Cinder with three bullets using Gambol Shroud. She also showcased some skill in a dual sword style, having fought Cinder Fall using both Myrtenaster and Gambol Shroud.

   Although Ruby is usually the one who makes the team's battle plans, Weiss is the one who came up with the plan to use Emerald's Semblance against Ironwood in "Creation".

   In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Weiss would lose both her Aura and Semblance with her arrival on Earth. However, unlike her team, Weiss gained no new abilities and was simply a baseline human. Dust Usage

   V2e11 glyph ice Using a glyph to make an ice dome. Most notably, Weiss frequently utilizes Dust in battle. She has shown a preference for Ice Dust, only switching types if it provides her with an advantage, such as using Wind Dust against sonic-based attacks or creating certain types of glyphs such as black or time dilation glyphs. She has used Ice Dust to trap enemies, create a trail to push enemies from a height, create a slippery sheet of ice and form pointed ice chunks to use as projectiles.

   Weapon

   Main article: Myrtenaster Castle Weiss prepares to fight the Giant Armor Weiss' weapon of choice is Myrtenaster, a Multi-Action Dust Rapier. The rapier has a revolving chamber inside the guard, which has six slots in total, each of which contains a vial of powdered Dust. The revolving chamber is constantly stocked with red, cyan, purple, white, yellow, and blue Dust.

   Weiss utilizes the Dust in combat, either in raw form or in conjunction with her Semblance to create various effects that suit the situation. When not using Myrtenaster as a Dust supplier, Weiss utilizes her speed to dodge attacks and her sword to deliver damage through quick thrusts that leave little room for counters.

   In "The Final Word", Weiss took up the katana blade of Gambol Shroud after Blake Belladonna and Ruby Rose were thrown into the abyss of the Evacuation dimension during her last stand against Cinder.

   In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Weiss would use a freeze gun created by Mr. Freeze, which could shoot blue beams that create ice upon hitting a target. Though due to being in storage for to long, it ran out of power, forcing Weiss to discard it.

   Semblance

   Main article: Glyphs 1110 The Badge and The Burden Pt.2 02929 Her glyph's design. Weiss has the Schnee family Semblance of Glyphs, allowing her to create glyphs that can be used in a variety of ways: create a slippery platform to skate on at high speed, generate midair platforms to manipulate her trajectory in the air and perform limited time dilation that can speed up actions[11], to name a few.

   She has gained more control over her Semblance upon her arrival in Atlas. During her fight against Marrow Amin in "With Friends Like These", she could use her glyphs to create several ice spikes to simultaneously speed up and throw the ice as makeshift spears while summoning her Arma Gigas.

   Summoning

   With mastery, a Schnee also can summon avatars of the foes that they have defeated. While these avatars have the appearance of Grimm, they do not possess the same weaknesses. For instance, they are unaffected by the light from Silver Eyes.

   In "Lessons Learned", Winter specifies that the summoned foe had to have caused the Schnee to push past who they were and become who they are now.

   V2 11 00055 Lack of stamina and endurance cause Weiss' defeat by the White Fang Lieutenant Weiss has poor endurance and stamina, as seen in "The Emerald Forest" after Ruby and Weiss are forced to retreat from a pack of Beowolves after a forest fire; Weiss is shown to be panting in exhaustion while Ruby is still fully energized.

   The biggest sign of her lack of endurance, however, is her inability to take heavy hits. In fact, she is the weakest out of everyone on her team, having been knocked out the most, such as by Nora Valkyrie with her watermelon hammer during the food fight, and the White Fang Lieutenant smashing her head into the ground.

   Despite her glyphs' durability, they have been demonstrated to be breakable, such as when she summons three black glyphs in an attempt to stop the cargo ship's crash. The ship falls far too fast or is too heavy for her, causing it to rip the glyphs apart as it falls through them.

   In regards to her summons, larger ones like her Arma Gigas take greater time and effort to manifest, as shown in her duel with Vernal, who heavily exploited this weakness by constantly interrupting Weiss' attempts to bring forth the sword-wielding warrior.

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes Behind the Scenes

    Neopolitan,[9] born Trivia Vanille[10] and now better known as Neo, was a character in RWBY. She was the partner of Roman Torchwick, with the two sharing a close and possible romantic bond. Her weapon of choice was called Hush, a parasol with a concealed blade. She first appeared in "Painting the Town...". After the Fall of Beacon, she hunted down Cinder Fall in revenge for Roman's death, but subsequently joined forces with her, shifting her target to Ruby Rose.

    In "The Final Word", she was betrayed by Cinder in the Central Location and knocked into the void, finding herself in the Ever After. She is the secondary antagonist of Volume 9.

    In "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", she got possessed by the Curious Cat (becoming the NeoCat) after driving Ruby to ascend, who intended on using her body to leave the Ever After.

    After killing the Curious Cat in "Of Solitude and Self", she chose to stay in the Ever After instead of returning to Remnant, undergoing ascension.

    Neo was also featured as one of the main characters in the novel, RWBY: Roman Holiday.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    1/2

    Neo, themed after Neapolitan ice cream, had the appropriate trio of colors in her hair and on her outfit. While sometimes altered via illusion for disguise, her hair color was typically half pink and half brown, with white streaks on the pink side. As of Volume 6, Neo's hair was also styled differently. It was noticeably thicker with a slight wave to it along with shorter bangs and missing her white streaks. The white streaks appeared as an emotional reaction to her parents' deaths in Roman Holiday.[11]

    Neo's natural eye color changed between brown, pale pink, and white, and they could alternate coloration in differing combinations, with this ability apparently being entirely under her control. Neo appeared to have a condition known as heterochromia iridum, where the eyes of a subject have two different colors. In her case, it was complete heterochromia, where one iris in its entirety was a different color from the other. During her childhood, her left eye was pink, and her right eye was brown.[12] In Volume 3, she was seen wearing green eyeshadow, starting with her paramedic disguise.

    Despite being in her twenties by the start of RWBY, Neo was also rather diminutive in stature, compared to the rest of the main cast, including Ruby Rose, as shown in the height chart presented by Monty Oum. This was demonstrated in "No Brakes", when she stood up against Yang Xiao Long, as Neo was only able to reach her chin despite wearing high heels. Original (Volumes 2-6)

    V2 11 00041 Neo wore a white cropped wide, broad tailed jacket with a pink interior, collar, a single pink button and large pink cuffs. She wore skintight brown leather-latex pants with a dark belt that had a gray buckle and an additional narrow belt under it. Under her jacket was a brown over bust whalebone corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, which exposed her hips. She also wore a multitude of black beaded necklaces, which hung haphazardly around her neck. Neo also wore black and white spat styled under the knee boots alongside black gloves.

    Neo with Roman's hat In "The Coming Storm", Neo went through a slight outfit change: she wore Roman's hat, seemingly in remembrance of him, and her clothing was shown to have been torn up over the time since her last appearance, especially on her jacket's left shoulder that revealed a broad shoulder strap of her corset, her coattail and leggings. During her fight with Cinder in this episode, she hid the damage and Roman's hat with an illusion until they moved the fight into an alley.

    Post-Timeskip (Volume 6–Current)

    V7 13 00006 In "Our Way", Neo sported a new outfit while still wearing Roman's hat. It consisted of a chocolate brown jacket that starts just below her shoulders and above her chest and had a pink interior, two brown belt shoulder straps and twin gray button seams. She wore a gray scarf similar to Roman's, and a white three gray button-up vest style top that was strapless and cropped exposing her midriff. She also wore a pair of chocolate brown detached sleeves with puffy tops and pink trim alongside a pair of white funnel cuffed gloves with gray button detailing. She also wore skintight white belted leather-latex pants and black and white spat styled ankle boots with cutout detail just above the ankle. The back of Neo's jacket was shown to have a small, coned ice cream key chain that was usually covered by her hair.

    Notably, Neo's eyes no longer switched colors between each other in her natural state, while she kept her green eye shadow.

    Trivia Vanille

    Prior to going by Neopolitan, Trivia Vanille originally had only brown hair but maintained the pink and brown heterochromia in her eyes. In public, her parents made her wear colored contact lens that made both eyes appear brown. At the time, she wore her hair in pigtails, and her clothes consisted of a brown dress with dark brown cuffs and a white collar with a black ribbon attached to the collar with matching ribbons in her pigtails.[12] At the age of twelve, she also had an "adventuring outfit" consisting of a white tank top, brown blazer and matching pants alongside white sneakers with pink hearts.

    NeoCat

    V9 09 00087 Neo after getting body snatched by the Cat. After becoming possessed by the Curious Cat, Neo's body briefly underwent a transformation. Her eyes became those of the Cat's in their normal form, with a light blue sclera and white pupils and her teeth also became much more jagged and sharp. Later, her arms were changed into large light blue claws, partially tearing her sleeves in the process.

    She later changed back to her original form after the Curious Cat had left her body.

Her hair was black with lighter streaks where her white streaks would normally be, and her default eye color was green, though she could change it to pink, brown or white at any time. Her hair was done up in a twin tail hairstyle with white bows and her bangs were still in the same usual style from her original appearance.

    She wore an outfit with a black and white color scheme. Her attire consisted of a sleeveless black blouse with white frills on the chest and collar and a black ribbon bow hanging from the front of the collar. The blouse exposed her midriff, and she wore medium-length black armbands on both of her wrists. Along with the blouse, she wore a knee-length skirt fastened with a white belt. She wore black shoes with a triple tomoe emblem, a mitsudomoe, on the soles, with white legwarmers. Later, in RWBY: Amity Arena, it was revealed that she wore large, thick white socks over her shoes.

    In "Beginning of the End", she disguised herself in a paramedic uniform, with a cap on top of her short hair, and her eye color changed to magenta. In "PvP", she assumed her regular appearance but donned the uniform of an Atlas Military officer. In "Our Way", Neo was briefly seen in a Mistral Police uniform. In "Cordially Invited" and "As Above, So Below", Neo disguised herself in a Schnee waitress uniform with black shoulder-length hair clipped with two barrettes and green eyes.

    In "Out in the Open", it was shown that Neo could disguise herself as already existing characters i.e., Ruby Rose. In "With Friends Like These", Neo was shown to be capable of taking on forms of different genders as she took on the appearance of Oscar, however she had never been seen impersonating anyone with extreme size or build differences.

    In "Witch", Neo showcased the ability to camouflage herself as inanimate objects, as she turned herself into a wall of Monstra to steal the Relic of Knowledge.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Unlike Roman Torchwick, who appeared as a cold and calculating career criminal, Neo was a more unstable unpredictable dangerous killer.

    Neo was a mute who cannot speak since birth and as such communicated purely through body language, miming, or text messages. [12]

    Neo was stated to be cruel, vicious, and sadistic, as seen in her smile as she prepared to stab Yang in "No Brakes", as well as in "Round One" when she proceeded to brutally stomp on her opponents face with a cruel smile despite him being physically unable to continue their match. [13] However, she did seem to exhibit fear and hesitance when she knew she was outmatched, fleeing if her opponent proved to be as such. This could be seen when Raven Branwen appeared and engaged her on the White Fang cargo train. She was rather perceptive and was able to recognize superior abilities to her own, despite her confidence. Neo was also seen to have a vengeful side by her attempt to kill Cinder Fall in "The Coming Storm" for her part in Roman Torchwick's death, only stopping when she revealed her Maiden powers.

    Neo was highly determined when she set her mind to a task, often dealing with any problems presented to her efficiently and competently. During her battle against Team JNPR, Neo took notice of Lie Ren's protectiveness of Nora Valkyrie and took advantage of that by transforming into her using her Semblance to make him hesitate. She also used Emerald Sustrai and Hazel Rainarts's escape as a cover to steal the Relic of Knowledge and skip away in the dust cloud created from Monstra's explosion.

    Additionally, she was extremely ruthless, easily turning to violence as a means of achieving her goals and often doing so with a playful demeanor. In "Worthy", she alongside Cinder and Arthur Watts had assaulted the people stationed at the Atlas Command Center.[14]

    Neo possessed a desire to be validated whenever she accomplishes a task, as well as to be treated as an equal by a partner or superior. She was happy with working with Roman, as he often acknowledged her for completing a job. However, while working for Cinder, she was irritated by her lack of recognition or respect towards her. She was further angered when Cinder took the Relic of Knowledge from her without a word of gratitude and failed to give her credit for successfully stealing the Relic, as well as taking credit for her accomplishments to redeem herself before Salem. These actions eventually resulted in her going against Cinder's orders for her own wishes.

    Neo was extremely loyal to Roman and very close with him. She willingly carried out his demands and he was the only one she did not show contempt towards. Likewise, Roman never got upset with Neo like he did with others, and they were very proficient in wordlessly coordinating attacks. Neo was shown to be devastated after his death, and wears Roman's hat in memory of him. She is solely driven by a need to exact revenge for what happened to him and has gone to near suicidal lengths to do so, including facing Cinder alone. Neo had a previously lonely life until she met Roman, and after his death her life returned to said state. This is illustrated by her disheveled appearance in "The Coming Storm".

    Later, Neo took fights slightly more seriously becoming even more sadistic, cruel, and merciless than before. Previously, during her V2 fight with Yang, Neo toyed with her before knocking the girl unconscious and afterwards unsheathing Hush. Similarly, in her V3 fight against Ruby, Neo opted not to use her sword to fight, and later used it to threaten Ruby, which ultimately turned out to be her undoing when she used Hush to send her flying. Comparatively, in current fights, while she continued to mock her opponents, Neo used her blade more frequently and is shown dispatching foes much more quickly and not dragging out finishing moves any longer than necessary. It's implied that this notable change in behavior may be a result either of her perceived feelings of guilt for having failed Roman when he needed her the most, frustration at all of the constant delays towards avenging him, growing fed-up with all of the ridiculous situations she's found herself in or even a combination of all three.

    In RWBY: Roman Holiday, it is shown that Neo was abused by her father and mother for not being the perfect child, due to her inability to speak, heterochromia, and unruly behavior. She had an imaginary friend named "Neopolitan", who she subconsciously used as a scapegoat to take the blame for her own rebellious desires that she had externalized. This was due to her parents simultaneously punishing her for her wants while not taking them seriously, as well as her loneliness and desire to be free—"Neopolitan" was everything Trivia had wanted to be.

    Eventually, Trivia realized that "Neopolitan" was an externalization of her own desires—that she and "Neopolitan" were one and the same. All the violently lashing out at those who wronged her, rule-breaking and illegal activities, taunting, freedom and danger "Neopolitan" had pursued was just what Trivia had wanted, but felt she wasn't allowed to after a series of events—including her introducing herself as Neopolitan rather than Trivia to Roman, which she felt was "right" and gave her "a fresh start", with the metaphorical final straw being her mother physically shattering the illusion of "Neopolitan" conjured by Overactive Imagination in front of Trivia. When Trivia took on her new identity and name as Neopolitan, she viciously and fervently enforced her own wants and whims in contradiction to how long she'd been forced to repress them. Similarly, she took great pride in herself and cared little of how other people perceived or felt about her, in contrast to how her parents had insisted their image mattered more than anything else, including Neo's desires.

    At the end of Roman Holiday, during the fight at the Vanille Estate involving Neo, Roman Torchwick, Senior Xiong, and Lil' Miss Malachite, Neo made a split-second decision to trick Lil' Miss into triggering a Dust explosion on the third floor in order to escape the fight, though the explosion ended up unintentionally killing her father and she suspected also her mother. This was Neo's first experience with the death of someone known to her, uncertain of how to react and feeling that it didn't affect her, although she gains her iconic white stripes in her hair at this time, indicating she was impacted by their deaths no matter what she thought. Her inability to legitimately process her parents' deaths was indicative of her larger inability to handle grief, as further shown by her single-minded revenge driven handling of Roman's death.

    In “Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble”, after she drove Ruby to ascend in the Ever After, she became a broken and emotionless person herself as she realized she only wanted revenge, not to conquer the Ever After, and now that she achieved it, she no longer had a purpose. She became so broken that the Curious Cat was able to take over her body to fulfill their own agenda.

    In “Of Solitude and Self”, Neo was released from the Curious Cat’s control and upon being exposed to the smoke of the Great Tree’s leaves, Neo was shown to have gone through significant emotional growth, as she eventually realized that revenge wouldn’t make her happy, nor fill the emptiness in her heart and would only consume her entirely, leaving her with nothing. The entire experience in the Ever After caused Neo to finally let go of the past, by letting go of Roman and accepting his death, as instead of trying to continue attacking Ruby or her friends, she decided to go through Ascension in order to find a new purpose for herself and become something new.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    In "No Brakes", Neo proved herself to be a highly skilled combatant, able to defeat Yang in a one-on-one fight, seemingly playing with her opponent as she was able to defeat her without taking anything more than a glancing hit. Her fighting style was highly evasive, dodging, deflecting or maneuvering around her opponent's strikes until she had exhausted them, or was ready for a counterattack. Neo also displayed incredible reflexes and speed, dodging several of Yang's attacks with ease, even when holding her umbrella in one hand.

    This was further shown in "Heroes and Monsters" where she was easily able to keep up with and defeat Ruby almost single-handedly, and in her fight with Cinder in "The Coming Storm", with Neo taking two hits and delivering four back to Cinder in a mostly even fight, only backing down when Cinder resorted to the use of her Maiden Powers. Cinder also commented Neo had 'grown stronger'. An example of that was shown in "The Enemy of Trust" with despite being completely outnumbered by both Oscar and Team JNR, she easily evaded, parried and dodged their attacks and overpowered and outmaneuvered them with quick and powerful strikes while doing so in a joking manner, hinting that Neo herself was not taking them seriously and was toying with them during the majority of their battle.

    Neo had also displayed herself to be very acrobatic and exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat relying on her agility to dodge and misdirect enemy movements and attacks, before retaliating with her own kick-based attacks resembling Bartitsu with the way she blocked with her parasol, and Capoeira with her acrobatic kicks. She learned this as a student at Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy for Girls, where they had a secret program for training chosen students to be assassins with a wide variety of classes in fencing, self-defense, and escape artistry. Neo excelled in all these classes and even trained under a rogue Huntress, her skills reaching the point that she could stand up against the Malachite sisters when they tried to stop her from escaping the academy.

    However, Neo had also been shown to immediately back out of a fight she knew she couldn't win. She instantly retreated upon seeing Raven in "No Brakes" and stopped attacking Cinder in "The Coming Storm" when she activated her Maiden powers, despite instigating the fight in the first place. It also appeared that she had more difficulty against opponents equipped with a melee weapon, as opposed to barehanded fighters; she easily bested Yang in "No Brakes" but had a more even contest against Ruby in "Heroes and Monsters" until Roman arrived to reinforce her. During her fight with Cinder in "The Coming Storm", Neo initially held the initiative, but Cinder gradually gained the advantage once she equipped herself with dual swords. During her duel with Maria Calavera, Neo was consistently outmatched until Maria became distracted. When she faced Ruby again in "Worthy" and "The Final Word", she held the initiative, but fell for Ruby's attempt to goad her, lashing out in anger that enabled Ruby to get the better of her.

    While using her weapon in sword form, Neo has displayed a sword style similar to Victorian Age fencing, as seen during her battle against Team JNPR and Oscar, where Neo held one of her hands behind her back as she made several swift sword stabs, jabs and swipes at her opponents. Notably, during her first few appearances, Neo never used Hush's blade to fight, only to down fallen opponents like Yang. Later, she is seen using it once, for a split second against Cinder and afterwards begins employing it regularly in fights.

    By Volume 8, Neo's combat skills became powerful enough that she could easily fight multiple skilled opponents simultaneously. In "Worthy", she was able to fight against both Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna and largely keep them on the defensive. Weapon

    Main article: Hush V9 10 00131 Neo holding Hush as part of her chrysalis Neo's weapon of choice was Hush (a custom-made gift from Roman),[9] a parasol containing a long, thin blade hidden within the length of the parasol's tube, which could also project the blade's tip from the top end of it. The canopy of the parasol was made of an extremely dense, durable fabric that could repel minor Dust explosions, allowing Neo to use it as a shield or a glider. Unlike many of the weapons shown in RWBY, Hush did not appear to contain a concealed firearm or projectile weapon, therefore it could only be used for close quarters fighting.

    In "Of Solitude and Self", it became a part of her wooden chrysalis when she ascended.

    Semblance

    Main article: Overactive Imagination Neo illusions Yang shatters the illusion wall Neo's Semblance, Overactive Imagination, allowed her to create "physical illusions that can be seen by everyone", as opposed to Emerald's Hallucinations, which usually only affect the person(s) she targets.[15] These illusions were highly convincing and shattered like glass when she dispelled them, or someone broke them. Her most apparent use of them was creating illusions around her body, either to disguise herself or for her opponent to target while she escaped or moved unseen to another point of attack. They also seemed to be somewhat resilient to damage. While fighting Cinder, the illusion concealing Neo’s outfit was not dispelled even after taking or landing some hits. This was revised however in Volume 7, as her disguise was dispelled upon receiving a punch from Oscar. Additionally, in later volumes, she has learned to use her Semblance for psychological manipulation, exploiting the appearance of close friends and families in her enemies to torment and overpower them.

    V6 13 00006 Neo disguising an entire Mistral Airship as an Atlas Manta In "Our Way", Neo displayed her new mastery over her Semblance, where she managed to completely disguise an entire Mistral Airship to physically resemble an Atlas one, implying that she could maintain the facade long enough to fool the Atlas Military and cross the continental border checkpoint into Atlas.

    Neo also used her Semblance when communicating with others in lieu of her muteness, as seen in "Out in the Open" where she transformed into Ruby when arguing what to prioritize with Cinder.

    Initially, unlike Emerald's hallucinations, Neo's illusions did not affect a person's hearing, as she was not able to mimic sound or voices; thus, if she was disguised and someone tried to talk to her, her muteness might give her away. Before her time in the Ever After, her illusions also seemed to be limited in their range; they typically only covered Neo herself, and either a short distance around her or something she was touching, such as the Mistral airship that she disguised as an Atlesian Airship in "Our Way". However, as seen in her battles against Yang, Ruby and Cinder, she could maintain an illusion after moving away- until something made contact with it, after which the illusion will shatter.

    As shown in "Witch", Neo herself had showcased the ability to create a camouflage illusion across her entire body in order to hide in plain sight. She altered her physical appearance, completely blending in with the dark crimson colors of Monstra's walls. Doing so, Neo was able to observe Oscar, Emerald, and Hazel accessing the Relic of Knowledge.

    V9 03 00159 Neo Clones In “Rude, Red, and Royal”, Neo’s Semblance evolved further, where she now had the ability to make multiple copies of herself. These clones were semi-autonomous, able to either copy movements of Neo or perform commands given by her. She could also control them at will and the clones themselves retained the ability to physically attack others, such as the Jabberwalker.

    V9 05 00127 Jabberwalker Clones In “The Parfait Predicament”, it was shown that she could create clones of other beings as well, such as the Jabberwalker, and could even have them mimic the speech and voice of the original.

    As seen in “The Perils of Paper Houses“, her Semblance could seemingly replicate another being to the point of copying their unique abilities. This is implied when the Jabberwalker clones attempted to devour Ruby, suggesting that the clones also possessed the original’s ability to permanently kill a Afteran by eating them, though this is currently unconfirmed.

    In "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", Neo created clones of Penny Polendina, Pyrrha Nikos, Ozpin, Leonardo Lionheart, Clover Ebi, James Ironwood, Oscar Pine and Roman Torchwick. Her clones were able to perfectly replicate their voice, facial expressions and even to a degree, their personalities and fighting styles. She could also construct complex constructs such as appliances and even entire buildings, having replicated a copy of the Vanille Manor, complete with functioning lights and furniture and portraits of her memories. She could even create functioning weapons using her Semblance, as shown where she recreated Miló and Akoúo̱, Floating Array, The Long Memory, Stalwart, Melodic Cudgel, Due Process, had Milo and Akouo, Due Process, Melodic Cudgel and Stalwart fire rounds, and Milo and Akouo change forms.

    V9 08 00046 Neo speaking through her clones Furthermore, as implied in "The Perils of Paper Houses", Neo possessed a connection to her constructs and could project her psyche through them, first shown where she remotely transformed one of her Jabberwalker clones into herself to send Ruby a message of her targeting her. Later, she projected her thoughts and feelings through her clones of Ruby’s friends and acquaintances, signified when their eyes turned into her heterochromia of pink and brown.

    Neo's power was shown at its strongest when she had her final confrontation with Ruby in "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble": she created a large Tea Room for Ruby to walk in, hosting a tea party of sorts with fallen comrades of Ruby. Her projections had enough autonomy to speak, fight and even bleed. They speak in Neo's stead, acting as a way for her to verbally communicate what she hated about Ruby and how she had personally failed them, all which quickly broke Ruby's spirit.

    Other Skills

    Neo herself proved to be a competent getaway driver and a highly skilled infiltrator, as shown in "Beginning of the End", where she, disguised as a paramedic, drove Cinder, Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai away to an unknown location in an Air Bus after they initiated their plan to frame Yang.

    This has been proven to be one of Neo's greatest talents, as she showed that combined with her Semblance, she could easily infiltrate military compounds no matter how well guarded or secure they are. One of the best examples was when she was shown walking through an airship full of Atlesian soldiers she presumably killed to free Roman and later Neo again showed her skills in infiltration and hijacking, when she managed to easily acquire a Mistral airship after presumably infiltrating a Mistral air base to steal it without being detected or noticed by the Kingdom's military or officials. Later she showcased that she could even easily infiltrate the highly secured Atlas Academy and later escape from it with no one noticing her at all and managed to again hijack and steal an Atlesian Manta.

    Neo has displayed a high level of cunning and skill in acting when using her Semblance, as seen when she observed and notices the close relationship between Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie and was able to use it to emotionally manipulate Ren into giving her an opening to attack and escape. After her Semblance evolved, Neo’s ability to psychologically manipulate others using her Semblance had also increased, as shown where she was able to make her clones of Penny, Pyrrha, Ironwood, Ozpin and Oscar act, behave and sound like the originals to the point that they were able to effectively illicit emotional anguish from Ruby. Neo also showcased the ability to make her clones of Yang, Blake, Weiss, Jaune, Nora and Ren behave similarly realistic.

    With the aid of her Semblance, Neo was shown to have expertise in pickpocketing, as she was easily able to steal the Relic of Knowledge off of Oscar without him knowing until it was too late.

    Weaknesses

    Although Neo was an exceptionally skilled melee fighter, she had a habit of dropping her guard when she decisively gained the upper hand, either out of smugness or anger; this sometimes allowed opponents to make a successful counterattack. Examples included her gloating after defeating Yang in "No Brakes" and Ruby in "Heroes and Monsters"; in both cases, this gave her opponents (Raven and Ruby) time to turn the tables on her. In "The Final Word", after Neo disarmed Ruby, Ruby provoked her anger over Torchwick's death, causing Neo to impulsively attack and fall straight into Ruby's trap. In "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", when Neo had Ruby at her mercy, she left herself open to a surprise attack from the Curious Cat, temporarily disrupting her attack on Ruby.

    She also had a one-track mind, which while admirable in achieving her goals, presented some drawbacks. She did not care what happened to her so long as her goal was achieved, as seen in "A Place of Particular Concern", where she attempted to kill Ruby even while the two were falling through the void to their apparent deaths. This one-track focus also meant she did not consider what she'd do next if she ever achieved it. In "Tea Admist Terrible Trouble, after she tortures Ruby into ascending, she falls into a catatonic state, not knowing what to do with her life now and leaving her free for the Curious Cat to possess due to her empty heart.

11. #11Ascension

    Keys: Ascension

    USER Various TYPE Reincarnation Overview Image Gallery

    Ascension is a process that occurs in the Ever After and is linked to the Great Tree.

    ADVERTISEMENT Description

    1/2

    Similar to concepts such as resurrection and reincarnation, Ascension occurs when an Afteran is no longer doing the assigned role that they are supposed to be. It is triggered by them losing their ways, wearing out, doubting themselves, or even just finishing their assigned tasks. Upon ascending, all Afterans are taken to the Great Tree and repurposed into someone or something else with a new identity, personality, and role in the Ever After. Their memories are erased in the process; however, their hearts do not forget their defining moments.

    Notable examples include the Red King and the Herbalist, who both underwent Ascension after no longer properly fulfilling their duties. The former was eventually reborn into a new being known as the Red Prince.

    As revealed in “Of Solitude and Self”, the God of Light and God of Darkness were the ones originally in charge of handling the process of Ascension. However, as time went on, the Brothers quickly grew in power, and no longer bound to their role, decided to create beings who could replace them. The first was the Curious Cat, who would go around finding and “fixing” the broken parts of the Ever After, as well as and taking on their role of managing Ascension, as they can trigger the process in other Afterans. They gave the Cat numerous abilities to help them in their new role and duty, one of those was the ability to decide whether or not an Afteran is performing their roles adequately, and persuade them to continue in their role, or to send them to the tree. After the success of the Cat, the Brothers created a second being, the Jabberwalker, who could “finish what the Cat started” and provide the Afterans a way to stop ascending and die. They gave it the ability to disrupt the Ascensions of other Afterans by devouring them, preventing them from being reborn.

    According to the Curious Cat, Humans and other creatures from different worlds are unable to be properly ascended by the tree and so the results are largely unpredictable. Though this was disputed by the Blacksmith, who claimed that Ruby Rose was getting very close to Ascension at the time.

    ADVERTISEMENT Process

    V9 Trailer 00020 Ruby being confronted by a hallucination of her past self The process of Ascension can begin through multiple means. As shown with Team RWBY’s meeting with the Herbalist, one way is through the Great Tree’s leaves. By inhaling the smoke from the leaves, a being would hallucinate someone important or significant to them, who then begins questioning their identities, goals and desires and tempting them at the prospect of changing, such as when Yang, Weiss, Ruby and Blake were faced with their past selves. It's been implied that if the four had accepted the proposals of these hallucinations, they would have then been swallowed into the ground by the tree's Roots and put through Ascension. After being hit with the smoke by Team RWBY and Jaune Arc, Neopolitan began her Ascension by jumping into the tree itself after letting go of Roman Torchwick for good.

    Later, during Neo’s plot to break Ruby, she convinced her to drink a cup of tea brewed with a leaf of the tree. Once Ruby had ingested it, she briefly glowed the same multicolored, purple, blue, green, yellow color of the leaves before being swallowed into the ground by the tree's roots. It's not clear whether or not the choice to Ascend could be rejected or not like it could with the smoke.

    V9 04 00108 The Cat giving the Herbalist “a piece of their heart”. Another method to reach Ascension is through the Curious Cat. When a Afteran has a “Broken Heart” and has become unsure, confused or unhappy with their “roles”, the Curious Cat can help them by “giving them a piece of their heart”, which either convinces and assures them of their roles or convinces and causes them to go to the tree and ascend. As shown with the Herbalist, after the Cat gave him a piece of their heart and convinced them to ascend, they were immediately taken by a hole in the ground and collected by the tree’s roots after he agreed that he wasn’t following his original role anymore and needed to change.

    The final method to ascend, as shown with the Paper Pleasers, is to die in the Ever After. When a Afteran’s body is destroyed their remains are stated to be blown by the wind to the Great Tree, where they automatically go through Ascension. Little also went through this method of ascension after being crushed by Neo.

    The Herbalist’s chrysalis The Herbalist’s chrysalis Ruby’s chrysalis Ruby’s chrysalis Once someone accepts going through Ascension, they are immediately brought to the tree in the Central Acre of the Ever After, where they are then encased within the tree inside a wooden chrysalis, very much like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, until they finish ascending and emerge in their new form and identity.

    V9 09 00093 The Blacksmith helping and guiding Ruby’s decision on her new identity and form. Once inside the Great Tree, the person seemingly meets with the Blacksmith as they are transported into her workshop that is located in an entirely separate realm within the tree. The Blacksmith then asks them on who and what they want to become in their next life. The Blacksmith then tries to guide this soul through this process and decision. As implied, once the soul decides what they want, the Blacksmith is the one in charge of creating their new form and gives them the powers and abilities they would need to help them fulfill their new purpose.

    Herbalist finishing his Ascension. Herbalist finishing his Ascension. Herbalist’s new form. Herbalist’s new form. When this process is complete, the soul emerges from their wooden chrysalis in their new form and identity, not having any memories of their previous lives but still retaining certain feelings. This is confirmed in the case of the Red Prince, where despite going through Ascension, he possesses a deep mistrust in humans and a belief that they were all cheaters due to the past experience of his original self as the Red King. The Curious Cat explained that this was due to "the heart hardly ever forgets", implying that despite losing their original personality and memories, an Afteran still retains certain emotional aspects of their original selves in their new incarnations. This is further shown with Little, who after Ascending, no longer had memories of their time with Ruby and her friends, but still retained their feelings of friendship with them, describing them as familiar and Ruby in particular as “like a happy dream they can’t remember” and even calling her “huntress”.

    Ruby finishing her Ascension. Ruby finishing her Ascension. Ruby in her "new" form. Ruby in her "new" form. For Humans, while the person is able to choose a new identity for themselves, the process can also be an opportunity to rediscover who they truly are. Upon which, they emerge from the cocoon in their original form along with all their memories, with only a slight alteration to their appearance. This was first demonstrated by Ruby Rose, who after a great crisis of faith in herself was able to regain confidence in herself as a Huntress, thus allowing her to emerge as herself, but with all the damage she received during her fight with Neo healed up and regains her emblem pin that she previously gave away to the Teapot Lady.

    There may also be a time limit with Ascension, as during Ruby's inability to decide what to be, the Blacksmith claims that Ruby's time to decide was running out. This implies that if a figure cannot figure out who or what they should be, they may forcibly be ejected or become something else altogether, though this is unconfirmed. It is very likely that the Blacksmith said that because her friends were losing against the Curious Cat.

    ADVERTISEMENT History

    Ascension is described as a core process of the Ever After, being deeply intertwined in Afterans' lifestyles and culture. Due to this, it can be assumed that it has existed as long as the Ever After itself.

    Following his encounter with Alyx where he lost his game due to her cheating, the Red King was inconsolable and wavering about his role, so the tree saw fit to have him ascended to make him more resolute in his role. Following his Ascension, he became the Red Prince, who resumed his rule of the Crimson Castle, this time determined to win his game at any cost. Thus, where the King was honorable, the Prince now saw fit to cheat in his game to win no matter what.

    V9 04 00111 The Herbalist's Ascension. Another Afteran who went through Ascension was the Herbalist. Team RWBY visited him in "A Cat Most Curious", where they asked for guidance toward the tree, which the Herbalist assumed meant they wanted his help to ascend. Using the tree's leaves, he used his mist ability to try to perform the Curious Cat's role, questioning their resolve to determine whether they are fit to ascend. While Yang, Weiss and Blake were resolute in refusing the offer to "become someone else", Ruby was left uncertain and depressed due to her recent defeats and perceived failures. Interrupting the process before Ruby could take the offer of Ascension, the Cat claimed the Herbalis wasn't performing his role adequately and gave him a piece of their heart to allow him to ascend and find his role again. (However, the Cat's real motivation behind disrupting the Herbalist's actions was revealed later in "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble")

    This led Team RWBY to question the Curious Cat on what exactly Ascension was, and they explained the process to the team in "The Parfait Predicament". Soon after, Ruby Rose meets the Blacksmith, who offers her to set her burden down, seeing as she was the only one to doubt her role in the Herbalist's mist.

    During the events of "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", Neopolitan attempts to drive Ruby Rose to despair and drink tea made from a leaf from the tree to ascend. In order to do this, she uses clones of people she knew Ruby Rose failed to save in the past or that she had some role in their deaths recreated from her Semblance Overactive Imagination. Among them was Roman Torchwick, Pyrrha Nikos, Penny Polendina, Leonardo Lionheart, Clover Ebi, Ozpin and James Ironwood who she used to beat Ruby physically and mentally while calling her out for her actions ever since she started at Beacon Academy. She also used clones of her friends Oscar Pine, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long, Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie and Qrow Branwen to torment her into drinking the tea as well. Eventually, after Ruby witnesses Neo smashing her heel on Little and killing them, she finally ends up being driven to despair and drinks the tea to ascend right as the real Weiss, Blake, Yang and Jaune arrive.

    In "A Tale Involving a Tree" WBY, Jaune and Juniper finally reach the Tree after Jaune found acceptance in his inability to save everyone. There they found the wooden chrysalises of the Herbalist and Ruby. Yang attempted to free her sister from the Tree, but Jaune stopped her, finally understanding that Ruby's Ascension was up to her and not them. Shortly later the group witnesses the Herbalist break free from his wooden shell, revealing him to have gained legs and wings from his Ascension. This helps Blake convince Yang to accept Ruby’s Ascension, despite the reality upsetting them both.

    After choosing a representation of Crescent Rose, Ruby emerged from the tree as herself. Following the defeat of the Curious Cat, Neo jumped into the tree to undergo an Ascension of her own while Little emerged, having ascended into a new mouse dubbed "Somewhat" by Ruby.

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes Behind the Scenes

    Cinder Fall[8] is the secondary antagonist of RWBY. She is a member of Salem's Inner Circle and was the leader of her own faction. She is also the current Fall Maiden. Her machinations are the driving force behind the events of the first three volumes and cemented her as the main antagonist of the Beacon Arc. She made her debut in the first episode of Volume 1, "Ruby Rose".

    Cinder used a special Grimm glove to steal half of the Fall Maiden's powers from Amber. During the Fall of Beacon, she gained the other half and killed Ozpin in battle.

    When Beacon fell, Ruby Rose unleashed the power of her Silver Eyes, putting Cinder into a state of near death and causing her to lose her left eye and part of her left arm. She had incredible difficulty speaking for a time, and her entire left arm was eventually replaced with a Shadow Hand.

    After narrowly surviving a defeat by Raven Branwen, Cinder allied herself with Neopolitan, one of her former associates, in order to eliminate their shared enemy against the orders of Salem. She later succeeded in getting the Relic of Knowledge thanks to Neo and returned to Salem on Monstra.

    In "The Final Word", Cinder obtains the Relic of Creation and the Relic of Knowledge, and sends Team RWBY, Jaune Arc and Neo falling into the void. Afterwards, she delivers both Relics to Salem.

    1101 Ruby Rose 10751 Cinder's tattoo Cinder is a fair-skinned young woman with bright amber eyes and long, ashen-black hair that covers her left eye and rests over her left shoulder. On her upper back she has a black tattoo of her emblem: a pair of high heel shoes placed sole-to-sole, forming a heart shape inside. Her fingernails are painted dark red. In "Black and White", she wears lipstick and violet eyeshadow. Original Outfit (Dustweave Vestments, Volumes 1–3)

    V3 11 00131 She wears a dark red, long-sleeved, off-the-shoulders, V-neck minidress with a quadrant-shaped keyhole on the upper back framing her tattoo and two laces tied together across the neckline. Golden regal designs decorate the dress around the keyhole, across the chest, and down the sleeves which end in loops around her middle fingers. The dress splits from her right hip down, and has a tapered tail ending just above her knees. The hem is trimmed with black lace.

    She wears black, lace-up shorts underneath her dress as well as a black choker around her neck. She also has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes.

    Mounted on her right hip where the dress splits is a brooch consisting of a black, rhombus-shaped gem set within a gold metal frame with several iridescent blue and green feathers radiating out from it. She has a gold hoop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear, and a jeweled anklet around her right leg.

    The designs on the dress glow bright orange whenever she uses the Dust that is sewn into them. Her eyes and earring also glow.

    It is possible that her appearance is influenced by East Asian culture, as the aforementioned regal designs are styled similarly to traditional Japanese or Chinese patterns.

    Her clothes throughout Volumes 1-3 are referred to as Dustweave Vestments in RWBY: Combat Ready, seemingly confirming they have been woven with Dust in them.[9]

    Haven Uniform

    When undercover at Beacon, Cinder is seen wearing the uniform of Haven Academy, a more conservative dark gray outfit with a long-sleeved collared top and white armband. Unlike most female students, who wear silver knee-high socks, Cinder wears black tights.

    Infiltration Outfit

    During her infiltration of the Cross Continental Transmit System Tower, Cinder is shown wearing a black infiltration outfit, which she had previously been seen sewing together in "Extracurricular".[10] The outfit consists of a sleeveless jacket, long gloves, stiletto heel boots, a black glass mask and several straps with containers of powdered Dust lined across her pants. The gloves, boots and pants have black mosaic designs that are infused with Dust that glows bright orange when in use. When needed, Cinder can instantly transform her infiltration attire into a formal black evening gown that has black glass[11] designs on it.

    Tournament

    1301 Volume 3 Trailer 0964 When attending the Vytal Festival Tournament, she wears gray pants and boots, a beige leather sleeveless jacket with light-beige details, brown gloves, a sarashi tied around her chest and another around her hips, and a pauldron on her left shoulder. She also wears a belt around her waist which has multiple brown pouches attached to it. Her fingernails are painted with tan nail polish.

    Flashback

    V3e7 cinder scouting During the events of "Beginning of the End", Cinder had shorter hair. Her previous attire looks similar to her original outfit except that her dress has separated sleeves and the dress is held up by straps tied around her neck in a bow. Her heeled shoes are made of a more typical material, rather than glass. She did not have her characteristic tattoo until after she stole a portion of Amber's Maiden powers. Her fingernails are a dark red color.

    Mistral Outfit (Volumes 4–6)

    V5e11 cinder spear After the timeskip following the Fall of Beacon, Cinder's appearance went through a drastic change. Her hair is much shorter and she wears a mask that appears to be made of black glass over her missing left eye and the scarring from said injury extends into a slight x-shape over the bridge of her nose, as well as having deformed and degraded the tissue of her left ear.

    She wears a long, dark red, velvet dress with one long, wide sleeve hiding her left arm. The collar and the opening for the right arm are trimmed with gold piping, and the dress is decorated with golden regal designs from the collar over the left shoulder and down the left sleeve. The right side of the dress is split from the hip down with two gold-colored straps made of interwoven ropes connecting the front half to the back half of her thigh. Under the dress, she appears to wear black pantyhose. On her right arm she wears a gray, opera-length glove with gold metal trim atop the cuff with curved, branching extensions up her arm. She retains her glass high heels.

    The brooch on her right hip has changed; the feathers are colored a cyan-magenta gradient and are arranged in an array facing downward. Her previous earring has been replaced by one with a black hoop and a larger gem, and there is a new black hoop earring higher up.

    Cinder's Shadow Hand In "Vault of the Spring Maiden", Cinder reveals that her left arm has been replaced with a Shadow Hand grafted halfway up her upper arm where there is a significant amount of scarring. The appendage resembles that of a Geist, with a skeletal forearm and long, sharp claws. The arm is also capable of stretching great distances, and periodically emits black smoke.

    Mistral Disguise (Volume 6)

    After the Battle of Haven, Cinder kills a woman passerby and takes her cloak; a light brown robe worn over a white shirt and pants with a shawl, sash and skirt of a matching dark brown color, with black socks and light brown sandals. Her left Grimm arm is wrapped in bandages, and she no longer wears her black mask or nail polish.

    Atlas Outfit (Volume 6-Current)

    Beginning in "Our Way", Cinder dresses in a black, one-sleeved bodysuit with a gold zip on the right, and two gold notches and gold trim on its rounded, stand-up collar. Slung around her hips are two crisscrossing belts, one narrower and with gold trim while the other has a gold-trimmed pouch on the left buttock, with a third belt around her left thigh at an angle.

    On her right arm, a black armband carries a small pouch with gold trim over bandages wrapped around her bicep, and there is a long, black wristband extending partway up her forearm. An opera-length glove on her left arm overlaps the sleeve of her bodysuit to completely cover her Shadow Hand. The glove is embellished with a gold line that encircles its slightly-flared upper cuff and transitions into a shape reminiscent of a downward-pointing arrowhead on the lateral side. Additionally, the glove appears to be made of an elastic material allowing it to stretch with the arm, as demonstrated in "The Enemy of Trust", and conform to its claws. She also wears black, thigh-high, lace-up, high-heeled boots with red soles and decorative cuffs resembling flowers.

    Her outfit is usually mostly covered by a black shoulder cape with gold trim worn over her left arm and capable of slinging behind her back to allow for more mobility.

    From her previous attire, she retains the feather brooch which now occupies the right side of her chest attached to a gold cord draped atop her cape, as well as her two earrings. In place of the glass mask that once covered her left eye is a large eyepatch secured by two straps running above and below her right eye.

    She appears to have put blush on her cheeks, as seen in "Out in the Open".

    Cinder's Shadow Hand, having spread up to her shoulder The Shadow Hand replacing Cinder's left arm appears to have extended up to her shoulder, as shown in "The Enemy of Trust" and onward. Moreover, it appears the scars on her arm have gone through change, now having a raw appearance.[12] Following her battle with Winter and Penny, she loses the glove along with the sleeve covering her arm, exposing her Shadow Hand.

    Young

    In her youth, Cinder wore her hair in two messy bunches, or "conytails"[13], which left short, dangling bangs over her left eyebrow. She wore a white shirt with a red apron, black pants and black shoes. Notably, her left index finger and right wrist were covered in bandages.

    Cinder was also shown to be noticeably haggard and gaunt looking during her early childhood, as is seen when she is shown to be noticeably thinner, her cheeks more sunken, her eyes having deep black bags underneath them and she often had a tired expression on her face. All clear signs of her mistreatment within the Children's Home in Mistral, where she was likely overworked and underfed.

    Glass Unicorn Uniform

    In her late childhood and early teens, Cinder primarily wore a uniform issued to her by her "Step-Mother" as a "employee" for her hotel, the Glass Unicorn. Her outfit consisted of a white shirt with grey laces as well as grey pants and shoes. As seen during her time growing up in the hotel, she would usually tie her hair into a single bun on the back of her head.

    After Cinder killed her abusive step-family and Rhodes, she rips off the shock necklace she was wearing while she was working at the Glass Unicorn and has a noticeable scar where it was on her neck.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Cinder is ruthless and sadistic, as demonstrated when she delivers a killing blow to a clearly defeated Pyrrha Nikos in "End of the Beginning" and when she throws a spear at a defenseless Weiss Schnee in "The More the Merrier". She is relentlessly driven to gain power and determined to cross any line to obtain it. Cinder demonstrates a cunning that shows in her successful manipulation of events and people throughout the first three volumes. Cinder is also arrogant and egomaniacal and, as such, relishes in dominance and gloating, displaying shameless pleasure in the misery she has caused others. She believes that the power she is after is owed to her, having been promised godlike abilities and the Maiden powers by Salem.[14]

    She also seems to be ambitious and demanding in the role of a leader, expecting her subordinates to execute exactly as she wishes with what little she gives them. She does not seem to tolerate failure, preferring for her goals to be successful regardless of the situation. Cinder prefers that such problems be solved quickly, is seen to give very direct orders, and keeps her subordinates on a strictly need-to-know basis, sharing a similar leadership style to Salem. However, she does display a cunning streak, as her allegiance revolves around having Neopolitan kill Ruby Rose so Cinder will not be going against Salem's orders to not kill her.

    Usually, she maintains a calm and collected demeanor and is willing to take over a fight if necessary. In the rare occurrence in which she is caught off guard, Cinder's monumental temper surfaces, showing her immense shock and outrage. This is most notable when Jaune Arc just barely nicks the edge of her mask during the Battle of Haven resulting in Cinder flying into a childish rage and start to yell and make threats. This explosive response to even the slightest attack on her shows Cinder's intolerance of fear, leading her to react poorly when others see her feel it. Cinder seeks to be feared and therefore detests being made to feel fear by both her enemies and her superiors alike. Additionally, Cinder is stated to be jealous of those with natural talents.[15]

    When Cinder first obtained the Fall Maiden powers, she saw it similarly to a brand-new toy that made her feel like she was the best and strongest. Because of this, she became addicted to the feeling and stopped considering the strengths she had acquired before that moment.[16] Because of this, she was humiliated from her defeat and injury by Ruby atop Beacon Tower. As shown in Volume 4, she did not display her usual confidence, instead appearing sullen and taking insults from the other members of Salem's Inner Circle without reply due to her inability to speak, thus relying on her subordinates.

    Even after recovering in Volume 5, her deep desire for vengeance against Ruby clouds her judgement, shown when she negotiates a deal with Raven Branwen to stage an ambush in Haven Academy, despite protest from Arthur Watts. In the end, this results in Raven betraying Cinder, leaving her for dead and taking the Relic of Knowledge. Because of her actions, Salem was forced to change her plans, focusing on attacking Atlas instead of Vacuo due to the Lamp being taken there.

    Cinder's thirst and desperation for power stems from a life of powerlessness and having nothing.[17] This desperation has led to a fear of failure and a hatred towards the elite class, who have held power from others forever. She apparently detests being called out on her actions, as shown when Raven cites Cinder's choice to take the arm of a Grimm. Cinder retorts angrily, showing she sees herself as being beyond judgment or the moral codes of others. She is incapable of accepting any sort of criticism from others. However, in "Taking Control", she is visibly horrified watching as Tyrian Callows maniacally kill a Beowolf in grief of having displeased Salem, showing that even she has limits with absolute violence. It is implied that Cinder only enjoys the psychological torture she inflicts and dislikes the bloodier brutality of her associates.

    Later, the full extent of Cinder's desperation for power is shown in her reaction of again being denied the power of a Maiden, as seen in "The Enemy of Trust". During her battle with Penny Polendina and Winter Schnee and upon being overpowered by Fria, her anger and frustration reached its boiling point as she began viciously lashing out at Winter, injuring her badly and nearly killing her for deterring Cinder's quest for power.

    The World of RWBY: The Official Companion states that Cinder chose to hasten Pyrrha's demise by incinerating her body, sparing her a slow death after being shot in the ribcage. This hints that Cinder might possess a small sense of mercy.

    Although Watts' angry rant regarding her arrogance and short-sightedness hinted at Cinder having a change of heart, in reality she does not change at all, merely doubling down on said qualities.[18] In "Worthy", she murders tons of civilians in the central location during the evacuation to Vacuo, and in "The Final Word", betrays and murders her allies without a second thought such as pushing Neo into the void and trapping Watts in the Atlas Command Center before setting it on fire to kill him.

    Based on her upbringing shown in "Midnight", Cinder's current personality and desperation for power stems from the abuse she suffered as a child. She faced constant bullying, starvation and abuse from the other children from the home she was raised in, and was later abused even further after being adopted by her step-family, who treated her as nothing more than a servant and abused her regularly.

    Despite no longer being under them, Cinder still retains several psychological scars from their abuse. This is seen in Cinder's behavior, where she had apparently unconsciously adopted the cruel traits of her past abusers into her own personality. Though the electrocution she got from the necklace also had an effect on her, making Cinder disdainful of physical torture.

    Due to her abusive childhood, Cinder has shown to possess a docile, fearful and submissive side to her personality when dealing with someone who is superior to her. This side of her was most pronounced in her childhood and later after returning to Salem's side after redeeming herself of her past failures. Despite this, Cinder's lust for power ultimately caused her to disobey Salem's order regardless of the consequences when she decided to go to Amity Communications Tower. In "Amity", Cinder is shown to be a bit of a hypocrite, claiming to Penny that she serves no one, yet still serves Salem despite not always following her orders, psychologically projecting herself onto Penny. During their fight, Cinder was shown at her most manic and reckless nature, which would be one of the last times she went way over her head thinking she could achieve her goals through brute strength alone.[19]

    As seen during her childhood, Cinder had a more positive and vulnerable side to her personality. This is was partially due to the positive influence of her mentor Rhodes, who attempted to guide Cinder to a better path in life as a Huntress. This is seen when, after being talked down by Rhodes about her wanting revenge on her step-family, Cinder backed down from wishing to hurt them and expressed her true desire of simply wanting to be free and be strong enough to look after herself without relying on them any longer. With Rhodes' influence, Cinder instead chose to focus on becoming a Huntress and becoming old enough to leave. This would later not come to pass after she kills her step-family due to them finally taking their abuse too far. This showed that Cinder initially was hesitant at the prospect of killing and that she was only resorting to it due to seeing it as her only way out, as was seen after Cinder had killed her step-family and was noticeably repulsed by her own actions and did not actively enjoy or take pleasure in having taken their lives.

    Cinder was also shown to have developed a genuine friendship with Rhodes, most likely due to his being the first person in her life to have treated her with kindness. She later felt deeply betrayed after Rhodes made his stance clear that he would take her in for killing her step-family, causing her to enter into a rage for him having betrayed her trust. Later after Cinder successfully killed him, she would shed a single tear for her mentor.

    Following her experience at the Glass Unicorn, Cinder began hating being "under someone's thumb". She hates it when other people have power over her and even when she works with someone, she is not content to do as she is instructed. She herself always wants to be at the top and can't be anyone's equal.[20]

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    Cinder is a highly skilled combatant in both unarmed combat and swordsmanship, being able to out-duel both Winter Schnee and Penny Polendina simultaneously in their battle, and later fend off the entirety of Team RWBY with casual ease in "Worthy".

    She is also a capable markswoman, launching three arrows at once with great accuracy and pragmatically exploiting any advantage whenever possible, such as launching an arrow in Amber's back just as the latter was about to kill Emerald. Cinder has shown to be quite stealthy as well, having snuck around a guard at Beacon Academy to easily knock him out and escaping Ruby when the latter encounters her on her mission and fights her. She is also quite adept at piloting, able to fly a Bullhead during one of Glynda's attacks.

    Cinder is adept at Aura-based blocking techniques and easily capable of blocking bullets from Crescent Rose.

    She can make extensive use of raw Dust without difficulty. Her primary technique at the time of her battle with Ruby in "Ruby Rose" was a highly forceful blast of fiery projectiles. It was later revealed by the presence of her tattoo that Cinder had obtained half of the Fall Maiden's power prior to this confrontation, although the Maidens were not added as a story element until after Volume 2 and thus were not a canon aspect of the show at the time. Cinder is capable of weaving Dust into her clothes, as shown in "Extracurricular".[10]​​​​ Additionally, the arrows used when firing Midnight are made using Dust.[21]

    Cinder's physical strength is shown being well above average in "End of the Beginning" and "The Enemy of Trust", where she knocks Pyrrha away by jabbing her in the stomach with her elbow and physically overpowering both Penny and Winter with ease. In "Midnight", Cinder showcased that even as a young teenager, she was already physically strong enough to carry a fully grown woman and lift her off her feet by her throat using only one hand and break her neck by simply squeezing her throat and tightening her grip.

    As shown in "Midnight", she has a high pain tolerance, most likely due to her years in the Glass Unicorn. Weapon

    Main article: Midnight (weapon) Main article: Cinder's Weapons During the first three volumes, Cinder's weapons of choice were Midnight. She showcased immense swordsmanship skill in using a dual bladed fighting style and was shown to be skilled enough to overpower the previous Fall Maiden, Amber, and fight off Ruby, a prodigy scythe wielder, with ease.

    Midnight can combine together at the bottoms of the swords' hilts to form into a bow, allowing Cinder to make long range attacks by firing arrows at her target.

    Later after becoming the Fall Maiden, Cinder chose to no longer use Midnight.

    Currently, Cinder is able to use her Maiden powers to conjure Magical Weapons at will. Usually, she prefers using blades, and has shown to wield a variety of differently shaped ones with ease. However, she has also conjured bows, arrows and spears as well.

    Cinder has also shown some skill in using polearm weapons, with her having used at least two different spears as projectiles.

    As seen with her arrows and blades, Cinder can make her projectile weapons explode at will, with them being shown to possess considerable power in order to bombard her targets.

    As shown in "Midnight", Cinder's sword skills were taught to her by Rhodes. Because of this, her fighting style greatly resembles his own.

    Semblance

    Main article: Scorching Caress V3 07 00054 Cinder forming rudimentary projectiles to throw at Amber. Cinder's Semblance, Scorching Caress, allows her to super-heat objects and manipulate their shape.[17] She can use it to generate explosions by super-heating the ground, as well as turn dirt and dust into glass.

    The most notable instance of Cinder's Semblance is during her fight with Pyrrha Nikos, during which she disintegrates her opponent with Scorching Caress.[22]

    Her main usage of it in battle is both launching projectiles created by superheating dirt, as seen during her battle against Amber, as well as manipulating her weapon Midnight which is formed through Dust. She can also produce heat from any part of her skin, such as when she burnt Penny using her thighs.

    It is revealed in "Midnight" that Cinder's Semblance was awakened due to the abuse from her step-family.

    Shadow Hand

    Main article: Shadow Hand V7 13 00142 Cinder painfully regrowing her severed Grimm Arm. During the Fall of Beacon, Cinder is severely injured by Ruby's Silver Eyes. Following this, her left arm is replaced with a Grimm limb known as a "Shadow Hand".[23] It is implied that the arm itself possesses some sort of sentience, as Salem instructed her to make her new limb respect and fear her. The arm is capable of stretching out a long distance and has been shown to be capable of extracting the Maiden powers as seen in her fight with Amber.

    The arm is capable of regrowing after being cut off with no permanent damage, as seen during "The Enemy of Trust" when it was cut off by Winter Schnee. However, the process itself is exceptionally painful, with Cinder screaming in agony as it regenerated itself.

    As of Volume 7, Cinder's Shadow Arm seems to have slowly begun progressing in covering her entire body, as the Grimm flesh has now reached all the way to Cinder's shoulder while previously the arm only halted at her elbow.

    Despite being attached to Cinder, the Shadow Hand possesses a connection to Salem. This is seen in "Midnight", where she uses it to induce pain on Cinder for her disobedience. It is also seen in "The Final Word". Upon reforming, the Shadow Hand acted up, signaling Cinder of her master's return.

    Maiden Powers

    Main article: Maidens In order to acquire the Fall Maiden powers, Cinder used a special glove to steal it from Amber. However, she only took half of it when the process was interrupted, which she described as an emptiness. Upon obtaining the remaining portion in "Heroes and Monsters", Cinder gained the ability to use fire-based attacks without the need of Dust or her Semblance.

    V8 05 00065 Cinder conjuring a bow and arrows using her Maiden powers. Cinder later displayed power over other elements she has not used before, such as conjuring a small blast of ice to freeze Raven Branwen solid and the power of wind to levitate herself and fly at high speeds. Furthermore, Cinder also used the power of earth to create a giant flaming molten rock sword out of thin air. Her skill over fire allows her to conjure her glass based weapons without the need of Dust or her Semblance. As the Fall Maiden, she is the only one that can access the chamber of the Relic of Choice, although has yet to do so.

    Additionally, she also displayed the power to affect the behavior of Grimm, having been able to somewhat influence the actions of a gigantic Wyvern through her Maiden Powers.[17]

    Since her arrival in Atlas, Cinder is shown to have improved in her capabilities, being able to summon weapons that explode at will. She is also capable of breathing fire. However, she is not a fully realized Maiden yet, as she could not face Fria in a fight. She was eventually overpowered in her duel with Raven as well.

    During her battles in Atlas, Cinder demonstrated the ability to use fire to fly by creating blasts underneath her feet and in the palms of her hands to act as thrusters. Cinder's mobility and maneuverability in flight was shown during her aerial battles against Winter Schnee and Penny Polendina, wherein she was able to outmaneuver the both and defeat them.

    In "Worthy", she creates a vortex of fire similar to the one Fria made out of ice. She also showcased her ability to breathe a long jet of fire and infuse lightning with her flames when hitting Ruby in "The Final Word".

    Weaknesses

    V5 11 00062 Cinder is briefly incapacitated after her Shadow Hand is injured by Ruby's Silver Eyes. Following Cinder's unexpected defeat during the Fall of Beacon at the hands of Ruby, Salem reveals that upon acquiring the powers of a Maiden, Cinder gained a crippling weakness to the powers of the Silver Eyes, most likely due to her usage of a Grimm glove. After getting a Shadow Hand grafted into her body, its innately soulless status prevents Cinder from protecting it with her Aura, leaving it vulnerable to other weapons and Silver Eyes. Upon her first exposure to the Silver Eyes, Cinder was greatly weakened and significantly injured.

    Other than this, Cinder has shown that she could also be defeated by far more experienced Maidens, as was the case with both Raven and Fria.

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes Behind the Scenes

    Raven Branwen is a character in RWBY. She is a former Huntress, the mother of Yang Xiao Long, the older twin sister of Qrow Branwen and the estranged wife of Taiyang Xiao Long.[2] Her weapon of choice is Omen, a sword with a rotary chamber filled with six types of Dust blades. She first appeared in "No Brakes", saving her daughter from being killed by Neopolitan, before vanishing through a portal.

    Raven is the leader of the Branwen Tribe as well as a former member of Team STRQ alongside Summer Rose, Taiyang and Qrow. She is also the current Spring Maiden who used her fellow tribe member Vernal as a decoy, until her death at the hands of Cinder Fall in "Downfall".

    She served as a main antagonist in Volume 5, joining forces with Cinder in order to obtain the Relic of Knowledge from Haven Academy, though she intended on double crossing her to take the Relic for herself as insurance against Salem. However, after a confrontation with her daughter Yang, she hands over possession of the Relic to her before disappearing through a portal, using her link with Taiyang to make an escape.

    She makes a reappearance in "Jr. Detectives", attending a meeting at Shade Academy alongside Winter Schnee, Professor Theodore, and Oscar Pine.

    V5 09 00016 In her first appearances in Volume 2, Raven's outfit consisted of a V neck black and red kimono top with a black pleated skirt that has black shorts underneath, with series of beaded necklaces. She also wears a red obi sash around her waist alongside a red tasset wrapped around her waist that carries her weapon's sheath. Attached to it is a long black object that is either fur or feathers, with a red and white bandana material like hanging from behind her. Her forearms bear red armored gauntlets that protrude outwards and black fingerless gloves. She wore black mid-thigh high boots that had armor plating with red splatter patterns.

    In Volumes 4 and 5, her appearance changes slightly: her boots gained a red sole and heel and have become solid black, losing the splatter design and armor and her eyes now a darker crimson color.

    Her most distinctive feature is a fearsome, full-face mask that resembles the face of a Creature of Grimm. The mask has four eye slits, further enhancing the character's inhuman appearance. In Volume 2, Raven's eyes are visible through the lower slits, but in Volume 5, the slits are black and red inside. She wears this mask to not only hide her Maiden powers, but to also appear more intimidating when leading her tribe.[3]

    V5e10 raven Under the mask, she looks very similar to Yang; they share the same facial shape and long, bushy hair. However, Raven's hair is jet black, her eyebrows are a little bit higher, her complexion is significantly lighter and slight age lines are under her eyes. Her hair is tied by a red bandanna and loosely done up in a ponytail with the ends resembling curved black feathers. A cowlick can be seen protruding from the top of her head, similar to that of her daughter's.

    Corvid Form

    As a corvid, Raven is similar to her brother's corvid form, only lacking his head feathers. However, befitting her name, she transforms into a raven rather than a crow. This is indicated by their different calls (Qrow's is a harsh caw, whereas Raven's is a deeper croak) and different flight patterns (Qrow tends to flap his wings more, whereas Raven soars).

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Raven is cynical, patronizing, selfish and stubborn. She believed her act of "kindness" of saving Yang's life from Neopolitan was sufficient despite having left Yang at a very young age and refused to protect her daughter when in need after that. Raven is intended to be more intimidating the less you know about her.[4]

    Given her upbringing in a nomadic bandit tribe, Raven has a "survival of the fittest" mentality, and she has little issues with taking the lives of the innocent or even that of Huntsmen, indirectly or otherwise. Despite murdering the former Spring Maiden, Raven presented her actions as merciful and necessary, saying that the Maiden never learned anything despite the training Raven put her through and that she wasn't cut out for this world.

    However, beneath her "survival of the fittest" philosophy and despite her great powers as a Maiden, Raven is a coward who is really troubled and fakes confidence.[5] Her fear of Salem is so great that she chose to run from it all after deeming the fight unwinnable. She is even willing to risk her brother and daughter's lives in order to get access to the Relic of Knowledge in hopes of warding off Salem. As Yang pointed out, Raven's definition of strength is shallow. As despite her great power, she chooses to run away from her problems instead of facing them, sacrificing others as shields to gain herself advantage. In the end, Raven's survival of the fittest philosophy is just a façade to hide her fear of Salem and her other insecurities, one that is heavily implied to be a fear of being a mother.

    Raven is not above manipulating others, having tried to emotionally manipulate Yang during their reunion in "Lighting the Fire" so she would choose to stay with her instead of reuniting with Qrow and Ruby Rose, first by taking a faux warm and theatrical attitude before revealing secret information and threatening Yang in the hope that it would scare her from joining Qrow and Ozpin. She also successfully deceived Salem's subordinates into thinking that Vernal was the Spring Maiden and into setting an ambush for Qrow and the students in order to get access to the Relic in "A Perfect Storm", although the latter was due to Cinder Fall's need for revenge.

    Raven is also very prideful and hypocritical, refusing to acknowledge her faults and always trying to justify her actions both to others and to herself, often putting the blame on others for them even if she feels guilt. She states to Qrow in "Family" that she did not know that the Grimm would come quickly to destroy Shion, despite the fact that it was the tribe's attack that left it vulnerable in the first place. When speaking to Lionheart in "True Colors", she refuses to admit that it is out of fear of Salem that she worked with her subordinates, unlike Lionheart who freely admitted it. Finally in "Haven's Fate", she tells Yang that she knew that she could handle the trap on her and her friends even though it wasn't the case and presenting her murder of the Spring Maiden as an act of mercy due to the girl's perceived weakness, stating she would have been hunted her whole life. Also, despite criticizing Ozpin over keeping information from others, using others to reach his goals and being manipulative Raven has no issues doing the same. While aiding Summer in a mission, she brings up her choice to leave her family in the dark about the details, to which Summer coldly reminds her is something she also did.

    While Raven and Qrow used to see each other as family when growing up, she now sees Qrow as a traitor for leaving their tribe and Qrow outright stated that she was dangerous and hostile, though he continued to care for her and they stayed in touch, though Raven seemingly only contacted Qrow to get information from him. When Qrow confronted her on her setting a trap for him, Yang and Ruby and renounced her as his sister Raven went as far as implying that she may have never seen Qrow as family. Raven is a cynic who claims to have foreseen Ozpin's failure to protect Beacon Academy from its destruction. She believes that Ozpin is not the man her daughter thinks he is and condemns those who trust him, such as Qrow, Ruby and even Taiyang and Yang.

    Because of her prideful and self-centered mentality Raven often fails to measure the consequences of her actions, such as her attempt to manipulate Yang into staying with her and to distrust Qrow and Ozpin by calling Ruby a lost cause, and revealing Salem's existence and insulting Qrow and Taiyang, which only reinforced Yang's determination to reunite with her uncle and sister, and reject Raven further. She also advised Yang to question everything which eventually caused her to question her mother's own motives and actions. She also devised a plan to get the Relic of Knowledge to keep Salem away from the tribe while overlooking the fact that it would only cause her to become a greater target for her.

    According to Qrow, Raven has a very skewed definition of what a family means. Despite having constantly watched over Yang in her corvid form, Raven never took a part in her daughter's life or tried to meet her in spite of her Semblance. With Qrow, the only reason she would visit him was only when she needed something from him rather than trying to maintain or reestablish a good relationship with him. When reunited with Yang for the first time Raven used a theatrical attitude trying to be welcoming to Yang by praising her and offering hospitality, only to drop the act after Yang stated that she wasn't here for her.

    She also does not understand why Qrow chose to stay with their former teammates and his nieces over returning to the tribe despite how close Qrow has become with them, as well as underestimating how far Yang would go for Ruby by trying to scare or convince her with knowledge about Ozpin and Salem, which instead only reinforced Yang's determination to reunite with and protect her sister.

    Yet despite her ruthless and immoral behavior, Raven isn't totally devoid of morality as she showed some regret for her actions, such as the treatment of her family and the killing of the Spring Maiden. When battling Cinder in "Downfall", she is disgusted by her complete lack of scruples in her quest for power, calling her out for having become a monster by getting a Grimm arm. However, because of her pride, Raven often tried to deny her true feelings, hiding it behind an aloof attitude. She states to Vernal that she did not care about Yang being in danger due to her plan even though her body language said otherwise. Likewise, when Ruby made a proposal for her to join them in "The More the Merrier", she showed an instance of vulnerability, before hiding it and dismissing her entirely. It's implied in a conversation with Summer that some part of her choice to leave was because Summer could be who she couldn't, shifting her responsibility over to her.

    According to Taiyang, Raven had a straightforward approach, often dealing with obstacles by going through them instead of going around, and saw strength as all-important in a fight, traits that Yang inherited. He adds that Raven was ambitious and gave her all to whatever cause she saw as just while acknowledging she had unspecified faults that greatly contributed to the dissolution of Team STRQ. When Raven told Yang that she didn't know her, Yang replied that she only knows the Raven that her father told her about, asking her mother if she killed her previous self too. The question caused Raven to be shocked and look away, indicating that Raven was once a braver, more idealistic woman before leaving.

    After defeating Cinder, Raven shows a softer side, taking the time to close the deceased Vernal's eyes and thank her for her service. This side of her is further shown in "Haven's Fate", in which she and Yang share an emotional conversation. After Yang calls Raven out for killing the former Spring Maiden, her cowardice and hypocrisy in refusing to fight Salem, and for showing a callous indifference to her own daughter's well-being, Raven once more begs Yang to stay out of the war against Salem, but to no avail. Raven subsequently breaks down in tears, apologizing to Yang before fleeing.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    Raven possesses great speed in combat, so much so that her attacks are difficult to follow with the naked eye. She shows proficiency in "Iaido", the art of swordsmanship also practiced by Adam Taurus, as seen when she first engages Neo. After her initial attack, she challenges Neo with a more traditional stance, indicating a more intricate fighting style. During her fight with Cinder, she was able to slice in half a massive boulder and use the elemental effect of her ice blade to smoothly slide away from an attack, all within seconds, showing a faster than average reaction time. She allowed Cinder to chase her during the initial stages of their battle, letting her opponent expend energy before launching a counterattack. She also takes to account her surroundings during battle, and often uses what is around to her advantage, such as falling debris.

    As a testament to her skills, Raven as a child, with no formal training, was able to get into Beacon through sheer skill, which normally requires several years of training at a combat school to do. She then went on to train directly under Ozpin and became skilled enough that he entrusted her and Qrow with a portion of his power, as well as becoming a part of his inner circle.

    It is stated in "Welcome to Haven" that Raven is equally matched with her brother Qrow, although this did not take her Maiden Powers into account. During the one time they were shown fighting each other, Raven had the initiative, forcing Qrow back and landing a kick on him. Weapon

    Main article: Omen Raven's weapon of choice is Omen, a scabbard that has a rotary chamber filled with different types of Dust blades, reminiscent of the Dust vial chamber of Myrtenaster wielded by Weiss Schnee. The blades, when connected with the accompanying handle, are reminiscent of the long-bladed, single-edged ōdachi, or "great sword". Using the handle, Raven is able to wield a variety of different blades, each one possessing a different color and property.

    By reattaching the handle to the scabbard, Raven is able to interchange, or if need be, replace the Dust blade. The blades are telescopic, which allows them to be approximately twice the length of the scabbard. She tends to most often use the blade made of Red Dust, though she has also used others. The colors seen so far in combat include Red, Blue, Yellow, Gray/Black, and Green. The Dust blades, though powerful, can be broken if struck several times or hard enough. Since they are Dust, she can use them for elemental based attacks.

    Semblance

    Main article: Kindred Link V5 11 00009 Raven creates a portal with Omen. Raven's Semblance, Kindred Link,[6] allows her to create portals to instantly travel to people she has a strong emotional connection with and can cover vast distances through them. Raven largely uses this ability to make an exit, rather than for offensive purposes: she has notably used them to teleport to Yang in order to save her from Neo, as well as to leave the bar in Higanbana after talking with Qrow and to allow Salem's associates to walk into Haven Academy from her camp. Raven can also allow other people through her portals, as she did with Weiss and Yang, without going through herself or requiring them to be bonded to her, provided they are with- or traveling to- someone she is bonded with. To activate the ability, she swings her sword, causing a portal to open a few feet in whatever the direction the blade was swung at, but she is also able to open portals without her sword, such as when she opened one in her bird form. To date, she has bonded with at least four people:

    Taiyang Xiao Long Qrow Branwen Yang Xiao Long Vernal † Maiden Powers

    Main article: Maidens Without knowing that it was his sister, Qrow Branwen deduces that much of the damage wrought in Shion Village was caused by the Spring Maiden, exemplifying her destructive utilization of the Spring Maiden's powers. She is able to generate a lightning strike in "Lighting the Fire", summoning it from the sky like the previous Fall Maiden Amber could. In "A Perfect Storm", she is able to summon strong gusts of wind and turn the sky from clear to cloudy in an instant. In both cases, she was able to disguise her power and make it appear that Vernal was performing the feats.

    V5 13 00083 Raven using her Maiden powers. When she uses her magic, her eyes produce a dark red flame matching her Aura, which is why she wears her Grimm mask whenever using Vernal as her decoy. In "Downfall", during Raven's fight with Cinder, she makes use of several different elemental powers. She can generate ice, either by condensing it into weaponry, forming ice spikes or freezing from a distance. She can also generate electricity from her hands and release it in close ranged strikes. Lastly, she demonstrates the ability to fly, which she has been able to use additionally to propel herself at high speeds.

    Unlike Cinder, Raven does not choose to specialize in or prioritize the use of one element above the rest. Rather, she varies in attacks that she uses to keep her opponents off balance. Also, she does not rely heavily on her Maiden powers, mostly using it as a physical boost, as seen in "Downfall" where she used them to keep up with Cinder.

    As the Spring Maiden, Raven is the only one that has the power to open the Vault containing the Relic of Knowledge in Mistral. Later it was revealed that again only Raven can lock the Vault once it was opened.

    Transformation

    Like her brother, Raven has the ability to transform into a corvid, specifically a raven, which she demonstrated in "Known by its Song". This ability was bestowed upon her by Ozpin through magic in order to act as his eyes in the world. With it she can fly and cover large distances, though she largely uses it for stealth purposes, such as observing Qrow or Yang as well as disguising her arrival at Haven. While transformed, she can still use her Semblance, as seen in both "A Perfect Storm" and "Haven's Fate". She can also talk while in this form

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes Behind the Scenes

    Jaune Arc is a character in RWBY. He is a Huntsman, a former student at the now defunct Beacon Academy, a member of the now inactive Team RNJR and the leader of the remaining members of Team JNPR. His weapon of choice is Crocea Mors, which consists of a sword and a sheath that can expand into a shield. The weapon was handed down in his family from his great-great-grandfather, who used it to fight in the Great War.

    He makes his first appearance towards the end of the first episode, "Ruby Rose", throwing up in the Vale Airship. There, he earned the nickname "Vomit Boy" from Ruby Rose.

    In "The Final Word", he was unable to escape the Central Location as it dissolved, leading him to fall into the void and find himself in the Ever After.

    After picking a stopwatch fruit in "Confessions Within Cumulonimbus Clouds", Jaune was sent back in time and aged many years, becoming known as the Rusted Knight from the fairy tale The Girl Who Fell Through the World and taming a Jackalope he named Juniper.

    In “Of Solitude and Self”, he was reverted to his original age by the spirit of Alyx as a final gift to her old friend. Afterwards, he and Team RWBY return to Remnant where they arrive at the Kingdom of Vacuo.

    Jaune is a tall young man with fair skin, blond hair and dark-blue eyes. He is quite toned, having strong muscles in his arms, shoulders, and upper chest. Original Outfit (Volumes 1–4)

    V3 12 00176 During his attendance at Beacon Academy, Jaune wears a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves and a dark brown image of the bunny rabbit Pumpkin Pete trimmed in white with cute black round eyes. Covering his hoodie and hiding the Pumpkin Pete symbol is a white diamond-shaped chest plate cut off above his lower abdomen, and placed over his shoulders are a pair of white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Below, he wears blue jeans with a white patch placed on the left knee and black sneakers which have "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles. In Volume 1, Jaune has elbow guards with cords strung through them and he wears black high tops.

    He has two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them. Jaune wears brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and small metal plates over the back. His sword is strapped to his left hip in a sheath that doubles as a collapsible shield.

    Pajamas

    During his attendance at Beacon, he sleeps in blue full-body pajamas with blue bunny slippers and a white bunny face on its chest.

    Mistral Outfit (Volume 4–7)

    V4 01 00139 After the timeskip following the Fall of Beacon, his attire is updated. He retains his black hoodie, but he instead wears a modified pure white chest plate covering a bit more of his upper abdomen trimmed with gold lining and similarly colored bracers. Additionally, he wears black gloves with gold-colored metal armor plates over his fingers, and he appears to wear a red sash around his waist, similar in design to the late Pyrrha Nikos. He wears dark brown laced boots and a single brown belt with a pouch included worn around his waist.

    Like some of his other companions, he has grown in height as well.

    Child

    When Jaune was a child, he wore a similar outfit to his original battle outfit, except he wore a yellow shirt underneath and white socks.

    Atlas Outfit (Volume 7-current)

    V8 Opening 00024 After arriving in Atlas and meeting with James Ironwood, Jaune cuts his hair short and styles it to be upswept and somewhat spiky in a quiff-like style. He also gains a new outfit. He wears a high collar black shirt under a re-modified pure white chest plate that covers a bit more of his upper abdomen and similarly colored bracers. Both the chest plate and the bracers are trimmed with gold, and he once again wears two shoulder pads. He retains his gloves and sash except he now wears dark navy jeans and dark brown boots.

    In "Of Solitude and Self", Jaune is reverted back to his proper age and Volume 8 appearance by Alyx's spirit, albeit he retains the white strands in his hair from his time as the Rusted Knight. His rusted armor also reverts back to its Volume 8 appearance, effectively deaging alongside Jaune.

    Rusted Knight (Volume 9)

    V9 05 00137 As the Rusted Knight, he appears slightly aged with a few wrinkles. His hair has grown longer, with some strands having faded to white, and is tied into a ponytail with a torn piece of red fabric. He has also grown a beard. His armor now covers more of his body and has accumulated a significant amount of rust and wear. He replaced his short-sleeved turtleneck shirt with a long-sleeved gambeson and wears brown pants instead of navy.

    Jaune begins as an outgoing, goofy, and all-around friendly person. He treats people equally and has no problems expressing himself to strangers and bonds with them easily, showing a lot of confidence. When faced with entirely new social situations, Jaune's confidence leads to bold behavior. This can become out of hand and backfire especially when pursuing romance. His voice actor, Miles Luna, admitted this by saying when Jaune tries too hard it can cause a misunderstanding. At heart, Jaune is a kind, amiable person and means well. Additionally, Jaune is prone to get airsick, as seen in "Ruby Rose" and "As Above, So Below".

    Jaune maintains his unselfish manner regardless of the situation, going as far as to defend Cardin Winchester, who had been blackmailing him and forcing him to do his work. A strong sense of integrity makes him willing to deliberately put himself in awkward situations, such as wearing a dress in public without a hint of embarrassment to uphold his family motto of not going back on one's word. During conversations, Jaune never contradicts himself and, while sometimes harsh, is always honest with answers.

    Jauneismad "I don't care what you do to me... but you are not messing with my team." Jaune is shown to care for his friends and the people around him, being protective of them and having a sense of responsibility as team leader. He focuses only on his teammates' well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally, disregarding his own to ensure theirs. He steps forward when others threaten his friends, and he has proven himself unwilling to do something that may hurt those he cares about.

    At first, Jaune's family lineage leads to an obsession with being a hero. However, he was never formally trained like others in his family, causing him to lack self-esteem and assign a lot of importance to his image as a fighter. He values this image so much that he is willing to act dishonestly to achieve it- even using fake transcripts to be admitted to Beacon. The obsession had made him brash and headstrong in battle, jumping in without considering the risks and behaving predictably offensively.

    However, following the Fall of Beacon, his personality had somewhat changed. After witnessing the aftermath of the attack on Shion, he is shown to be somewhat cynical, saying that they would arrive at Higanbana "if it's still there". He would also get angry at Qrow Branwen for his involvement in Pyrrha's death, openly accusing him of using Ruby as bait. This was a completely different reaction from a year earlier when he tried to justify Cardin's bullying. Jaune initially tried to keep his grief to himself, as he had continued to train on his own as a way to cope with the death of Pyrrha, listening to her recordings on his scroll, which had shown a deep-seated sense of regret and guilt at not being able to save her from Cinder Fall. Jaune's good nature renders him almost incapable of comprehending the actions and personalities of people like Cinder, unable to fathom how someone can be so cold and cruel. This expression of disbelief at the sheer sadism of others serves to show how idealistic and noble Jaune remains despite his trials and losses, ultimately proving him to be a fundamentally humane and caring individual.

    While Jaune is a good person, he has shown that he is not above losing his cool, as seen when he punched a hole in the wall of his sister's house and when he took his anger out on Oscar Pine over Ozpin keeping so many secrets. In spite of this, he isn't above keeping secrets himself. In "A New Approach", he went along with Ruby's decision to lie to James Ironwood and keep Ozpin's disappearance, how many questions left in the Relic of Knowledge, and Salem's immortality a secret from him.

    It is only when he found Pyrrha's memorial statue in Argus that he finally came to terms with her death, understanding that she had to try and make a difference despite the overwhelming odds against her, and became inspired to follow her example. This is best seen where in "Fault", where instead of getting mad at Ren who insulted him for faking his transcripts, he chooses not to argue and focus on getting to shelter. It is also during this period that he also becomes a lot more patient and wiser, mediating the argument between Ruby and Yang as well as giving advice to Ren in order for him to open up on how he was feeling.

    Despite his optimistic and ideal attitude, Jaune has been shown to be a remarkably strong-willed individual by doing things that most characters would not be easily willing to do. One such example of this is when he forced himself to go through with taking Penny's life in order to fulfill her desire to pass the Maiden powers on to Winter Schnee and, in the process, prevent Cinder from acquiring even more power. Despite having the will to commit to such a decision, Jaune was still distraught by the act of killing his friend, screaming and crying while he did so.

    After the destruction of Atlas and Mantle, being forced to spend decades alone trapped in the Ever After, as well as being poisoned by Alyx and left for dead, Jaune's overall mental state was severely affected. Because of this, he was more prone to fits of anger, such as when he met the Curious Cat again, and when he would lament at the fact that he couldn't even be a "make-believe hero" when he tried to get Alyx and Lewis on the same path as the fairy tale in order to get home. His mental state was so severely affected, he wasn't initially sure Team RWBY was real and not a hallucination until they hugged him and reaffirmed that they were, in fact, real.

    Alongside his deteriorating mental state, Jaune also showed strong signs of stress and depression from the severe isolation and loneliness within the Ever After. This is shown in “The Perils of Paper Houses”, where Jaune's deteriorated mental state was exemplified in how he treated the Paper Pleasers. He named them after the people that he had once known and cared about back on Remnant as a way to still feel connected to them, which prevented him from letting them ascend since he viewed ascension as death, which reminded him of his past failures and his inability to save others. He also developed a deep hatred and prejudice against Afterans in general, believing them all to be either too clever, too stupid, or too crazy to trust. However, his attachment to the Paper Pleasers was demonstrated when they were finally able to ascend after the village was flooded due to a break in the dam, where he collapsed to the ground in sorrow, lamenting the fact that he had once again failed to save something close to him. He would later show open hostility towards Ruby for trivializing their "deaths" when she had called them his "make-believe friends", only calming down and apologizing after Weiss approached him.

    However, in “A Tale Involving a Tree”, Jaune’s mentality would begin to improve for the better. After initially being confused at what the Ever After "wanted" from him and being tormented at being unable to save Ruby, Jaune was brought back to the Paper Acre alongside Weiss, Blake and Yang, where he would then meet the new incarnation of the Paper Pleasers, the Genial Gems. Jaune would watch as the Gems began rebuilding and remaking the flooded town of the Pleasers, causing him to realize that the errors of his actions as their "hero" through overprotecting them had prevented them from becoming what they needed to be due to a desire to be a hero and get the rush from successfully saving someone. After being comforted by Weiss and assured that he wasn't a failure by her, Blake, and Yang, Jaune's emotional and psychological state had been considerably restored as he accepted himself alongside his flaws and failures. This moment made Jaune realize that just because he had failed and made mistakes, it didn't mean that he was a failure as a person or a Huntsman.

    In "A Knight's Journal", after leaving the Ever After and finally reuniting with the rest of his team, Jaune found himself unable to fully readjust to life with his former friends often feeling like the odd one out among the three due to being mentally older than them despite having been physically deaged back to the point he had been before falling into the void. Because of this, he spends much more time with Oscar feeling a kindred spirit with him as someone who has had a similar life-altering experience. Powers and Abilities

    1106 The Emerald Forest 11927 Jaune's Aura, unlocked Despite not having it unlocked prior to the Beacon initiation, Pyrrha had noted in "The Emerald Forest" that Jaune possessed a lot of Aura. This has proved useful over the course of the series as his lack of experience caused him to be hit frequently. Overtime, Jaune would use his shield and his durability to his advantage, taking or deflecting hits from opponents in order to force them within striking range of his sword.

    During the initiation, Jaune demonstrated the skills to be an adaptable leader, being willing and able to coordinate with allies while under pressure, such as when a Death Stalker attempts to knock down the bridge his future team stands on.

    Although he initially didn't have much skill in fighting, he did have considerable physical strength than would be expected out of him. While not at the level of his teammate Nora Valkyrie, he is strong enough to deflect an attack from a giant Death Stalker with his shield as well as decapitate an Ursa Major with a one-handed swing of his sword. During his fight with the Nuckelavee Grimm, he was able to hold back its charge for a few seconds. In his brief bout with Tyrian Callows, he was strong enough to hold him up on his shield. During his brief battle with Cinder, he was able to lock swords with her and not budge. He has also shown at various points in the series that he is capable of launching his teammates into the air from his shield with one arm. His attacks are also shown to be incredibly strong. He is capable of cutting through the flesh of large Grimm with ease and the great force behind his attacks is made evident when the impact of his blade clashing with Cinder's caused a chain behind her to move despite being several meters away. Weapons

    Main article: Crocea Mors 1108 Players and Pieces 15507 Jaune and his shield Jaune's weapon of choice is Crocea Mors. In contrast to Ruby, Jaune's weapon was not designed or made by him. It is instead a family heirloom that was passed down from his great-great-grandfather, who used it in the Great War. It is composed of a simple arming sword whose sheath unfolds into a heater shield for protection.

    Post-timeskip, it adopts the same style of his armor and has the symbol of Pyrrha's headpiece. Jaune can combine the sword and shield of his modified Crocea Mors to form a more powerful blade whose edge is lined with metal from Pyrrha's weapons, Miló and Akoúo̱. Crocea Mors upgrades by having its sword placed into the sheath as the sheath folds inward, forming a second, stronger blade around the sword. It was used against the Nuckelavee and was noticeably more effective than Jaune's lone sword.

    During his stay in Atlas, the weapon has received further upgrades. The sword now has Hard Light Dust built into the sides, allowing Jaune to cover more of his body when using the shield in defense and give his weapon a sharper edge. The Hard Light also allows Jaune to use the shield as an improvised paraglider. Jaune has also had his emblem on the shield modified to store Gravity Dust, allowing him to blast targets away or break long falls by using the shield as a bounce pad.

    In "The Final Word", Crocea Mors was broken by Cinder Fall after she attacked Jaune in a fit of rage due to him killing Penny Polendina in order to deny Cinder the Winter Maiden's powers.

    Main article: Disc Grenade While in Atlas he also acquired a Disc Grenade, which can project a Hard Light Dust shield and be pulled back to Crocea Mors through the use of Gravity Dust. The Disc Grenade was shown to be durable enough to withstand attacks from multiple Sabyr Grimm as well as a large fireball created by Cinder Fall.

    Leadership

    Jaune's most remarkable feature is his natural leadership. He shows these skills, quickly grasping the tactical situation, forming plans to work according to their advantages and counter possible threats. He's very aware of the capabilities of his team and is able to properly coordinate them into achieving feats that can give them the upper hand during an encounter.

    Semblance

    Main article: Aura Amp V5C12 00070 Jaune transferring some of his Aura to amplify Weiss' Jaune's Semblance, Aura Amp, allows him to amplify his own Aura and that of others, effectively increasing the effects of Aura. He first accidentally uses it in "Forever Fall, Pt.2"[7] when his Aura shield is intensified to the point of Cardin hurting his hand after punching him. Jaune can also use his Semblance to accelerate the healing effects of Aura and intensify another person's Semblance, as well as helping Penny Polendina resist the effects of a virus meant to control her actions. He can also amplify his own aura, shown when training with the Ace-Ops his aura went from 65% to 95%. However, it cannot remove severe scar tissue from a person's body as shown when he tried to heal Nora in "Risk".

    He does not fully discover his Semblance until "Vault of the Spring Maiden" when he desperately tries to save Weiss Schnee's life and helps her recover from severe injury by amplifying her Aura.

    Weaknesses

    V5 11 00064 Jaune defeated after recklessly attacking Cinder, a much stronger combatant Jaune's lack of experience had remained an ongoing problem for him throughout the volumes. Despite his noticeable improvement, evidenced by the speed with which he slays an Ursa in each of the first three volumes, Jaune would always be the person on Team JNPR that contributed the least in terms of physical feats, much to his frustration. Additionally, while his physical strength is notable, he would rarely show it unless enraged by someone like Cinder and would fly off the handle when doing so.

    Starting out, Jaune would be prompt to fearlessly and recklessly charge enemies when engaging them in single combat, which led him to be defeated in a spar with Cardin, and nearly got Jaune to lose all his Aura against an Ursa during the events of "Forever Fall". In his first encounter with Cinder during the events of "The More the Merrier", Jaune once again charged against a stronger enemy without a plan, fully intending to subdue her with brute force, and was easily defeated. Although Jaune usually keeps his emotions in check during a fight, the previously mentioned cases had shown that Jaune would be easily angered at even the slightest provocation, which caused him to make mistakes. Jaune implied during his confrontation with Cinder that he had developed a martyr complex, justifying himself dying as long as it bought his allies time to accomplish an objective. In response to this, Cinder bluntly dismissed him as "just a pathetic failure with a death wish trying to make his own inadequacies seem noble," and Ren and Nora would later confront Jaune about his complex during their stay in Argus.

    Jaune has since taken efforts to improve upon his weaknesses in the months after the Fall of Beacon, as evidenced in "Remembrance" where he trained using an instruction video sent to him by the late Pyrrha Nikos. His fighting stance is more composed, and his sword swings are shown to be so strong that their force causes gusts of wind to blow through the air several meters in front of him. The independent training he underwent has since allowed him to become a more competent combatant that can confidently fight alongside his peers.

    During his time in Atlas, Jaune showed drastic improvement in both his fighting skill and keeping his emotions in check during battle. He was able to use his upgraded shield as a glider, allowing him to fly around and propel both himself and his opponent in battle, providing better mobility in the air. His competency in combat has improved to such an extent that he was able to defeat Flynt Coal in one of his team's sparring sessions by himself. He has also shown to no longer rush into danger, as after he was forced to kill Penny Polendina and saw all of Team RWBY fall to their presumed deaths, he did not rush and attack Cinder Fall, instead deciding to retreat. He even ordered Winter Schnee to do so as well to prevent the risk of the Maiden powers falling to Cinder.

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes Behind the Scenes

    Adam Taurus was a major antagonist in RWBY. Formerly a worker for the Schnee Dust Company, and later the leader of the White Fang's Vale branch, he eventually became the High Leader after murdering the former leader Sienna Khan in a coup, but was ousted after their defeat in "Haven's Fate". After his failure at the Battle of Haven and subsequent expulsion from the White Fang, he began relentlessly chasing his ex partner, Blake Belladonna, only to be overpowered and killed by her and Yang Xiao Long in "Seeing Red". He served as the main antagonist of Volume 6 alongside Caroline Cordovin.

    Described as both a mentor and former romantic partner,[2] Adam made his first appearance in the "Black" Trailer as a deuteragonist where he worked together with Blake to attack a train carrying a Dust shipment but was abandoned by her at the end of the trailer. He later made his first proper appearance in the show at the end of "Breach". His weapons of choice were Wilt and Blush, a sword and a rifle that doubles as a scabbard.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    1/2

    V6 11 00087 Adam's scarred face Adam was a tall Faunus with a lean built and auburn hair that spikes backward in a windswept way. While most of his hair was red, he had streaks of brown. A noticeable trait of his appearance was the mask he wore, which obscured his entire upper face above his nose. Behind his mask was a scarred Schnee Dust Company brandmark across his left eye, which was bloodied with a gray iris and a singed eyebrow, as opposed to his remaining blue eye and brown eyebrow. His Faunus heritage was a bull,[3] as he had two reddish-black horns, one on each side of his head, also seemingly slanted back. Original (Volumes 1–4)

    Adam wore an asymmetrical black, long-sleeved, double-breasted stylized high-collared blazer with slit sleeves along with red thorn sigils adorned with a white crest that lined up on his left shoulder. His suit jacket had crimson lining atop his red shirt, with red thorn sigils atop a black flap attached to the bottom of the left hem and his wilting rose emblem on the back over an emblazoned white sigil resembling the curved stems and flower of the deadly nightshade plant. His blazer was half-buttoned, exposing a red shirt with a black line running parallel to his collar under it.

    His mask was whitish-tan with red, Japanese style, horn-like symbols decorating the front and two slits on each side presumably to allow for vision. This is a redesigned version of the Grimm masks typically worn by most members of the White Fang.

    He wore long black dress pants, black shoes with red soles and black gloves with red sigils resembling the Greek letter Ω (Omega), the last letter in the Greek alphabet.

    He wore a black belt with white domino marks on it. His color palette generally consists of black and red, similar to the colors scheme used by Ruby Rose.

    Past (Volume 6 Adam Character Short)

    The designs on Adam's jacket and the red Omega emblems on his gloves were not shown when Adam encouraged the members of the White Fang during the raid on a Dust processing plant. The wilting rose emblem on his jacket and a white symbol on the left side were later added when he defended the White Fang from an attack on their convoy alongside Ghira Belladonna, Ilia Amitola, Sienna and several White Fang members. The red floral design on the front of Adam's jacket and the corresponding white design on the back of it were not originally there. They, including the Omega emblems on his gloves, were added after Blake reassures Adam that he still has her and prior to his mission with Sienna and Ilia.

    Post-Timeskip and Final (Volumes 5–6)

    Adam's outfit was updated to a form-fitting, double-breasted three-tone black and gray leather tunic jacket with red interior lining and two-layers of flares that hung the entire bottom of his jacket around his thigh, befitting his more militaristic mindset after the Fall of Beacon. His rounded collar up to the shoulders of his jacket was black with the two-tone gray colors at the rest of his jacket, which also included a zipper for his left breast pocket, and two more at the sleeves, which also possessed black cuffs.

    His dress pants were a matching gray to the tunic and mounted a maroon belt at the right thigh. The back of his tunic retained his red wilting rose emblem with white nightshade stem and flower sigils. Completing this outfit were plain black gloves exposing his wrists, along with twin maroon crisscrossing belts that hung Wilt and Blush on his left, and a black and red-lined drape retaining the red thorn sigil on his right. Finally, he still wore his red-soled black shoes.

    Sometime after leaving the White Fang headquarters following the Battle of Haven, he replaced his Grimm mask with a black blindfold.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Fueled by the inhumane treatment he received when he still worked for the Schnee Dust Company and his growing personal vendetta, a young Adam found the home he was looking for in the White Fang, where he was accepted and loved; his happily ever after. During his time as a part of the White Fang, Adam realized his comparative strength to everyone else and began to make use of it.[4]

    In the "Volume 6 Adam Character Short", Adam was initially not nearly as antagonistic as he was in the present. He did not begin killing Humans until he was forced to do so to protect Ghira Belladonna. He showed a brief conflict over this action when the latter reprimanded him for it, though after Sienna Khan praises his actions, he began to kill more frequently. Adam's manipulation of Blake Belladonna was also shown; after being confronted by Blake for his violence, he lashed out at her by mentioning her parents' abandonment of their cause, and then apologized and professed his fear of losing her support, emotionally shackling her to himself. By the time of the "Black" Trailer, he shows little regard for the lives of the Humans on the train when he planned on destroying it.

    Blake described him as feeling completely justified in how he went about making the world a better place. However, his vision for a perfect future did not include everyone, and Blake began to believe that Adam himself was becoming a monster in the process of trying to obtain it. In "Necessary Sacrifice", Blake explained that her description of Adam changed over time, believing at first Adam was the embodiment of 'justice', then 'passion,' until she realized he was 'spite'. Adam had also proven to be highly ambitious, as shown when he disclosed to Sienna, the White Fang's High Leader, that he wished to start a war with Humanity and enslave them, before usurping and killing her within the same moment.

    In "Beginning of the End", he took his cause and the lives of his underlings seriously, rejecting Cinder Fall's initial offer of an alliance, citing the unnecessary risk of dying for a Human cause. It was also hinted that he dislikes Huntsmen, sardonically stating she could have gone to one who strayed from their "righteous path". However, after Cinder arrived a second time, this time with an offer of Dust and Lien as well as a death threat, Adam begrudgingly accepted her terms. By the time of "The Next Step", he continued to be loyal, as stated by Salem.

    In "Heroes and Monsters", Adam's true personality came to light. He was revealed to be an embittered, ruthless, sadistic and vengeful man, willing to cut down any opposition towards his twisted ideas of justice being dispensed upon Humanity. He took great pleasure in tormenting Blake, ultimately promising to destroy everything she loves as punishment for her betrayal of the White Fang and, by extension, him. He exhibited extremely possessive, violent, and abusive behavior.

    Fennec Albain had noted that Adam's behavior had become increasingly impulsive both because of the stress of leading the White Fang and his obsession to punish Blake for her perceived betrayal. This becomes increasingly clear in "Downfall", where he began to lose his composure in the face of inevitable defeat and he was so desperate after being surrounded that he pressed the switch to detonate the bombs without a second thought as to the safety of his soldiers or himself. This was a clear indication that Adam had changed from a justice-seeking revolutionary to a murderous and spiteful person, as he had previously refused to risk the lives of his followers for anyone only to be willing to sacrifice them when he thought victory was out of reach. While once desiring freedom for all Faunus, by the end Adam only sought to fulfill his desires.

    Following his defeat at Haven, Adam became even more aggressive. Upon his return to the White Fang base in "Argus Limited", he lashed out and killed his fellow White Fang members when they refused to take orders from him. He was unable to control his rage to point where he vandalized his throne, showing disregard for his own symbol of authority. With the loss of his leadership of the White Fang, Adam was left only with his hatred of Blake, coming up with excuses and deflecting blame onto others.[5]

    His hatred for Blake was to the point where he hunted her for weeks just to get a chance to attack her. In "The Lady in the Shoe", he states that the reason he was so bent on killing her is that she left him alone, her act of abandonment hurting him far more than any physical abuse Humanity had subjected him to.

    In "Seeing Red", Adam was clearly jealous of Blake's close relationship with Yang Xiao Long, wondering what she saw in her, and claimed that Blake promised she would stay be his side. However, Yang believed she only promised that to the person he was pretending to be, implying that he never truly loved or cared about Blake and was only manipulating her. Eventually, his anger reached the boiling point where he failed to notice Yang used her Semblance to absorb his own, much to his shock. After being fatally stabbed by Blake and Yang, Adam dropped to his knees, dumbfounded before falling into the river to his death.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    Adam was highly adept in swordsmanship, quickly cutting through Atlesian Knight-130s with ease. He had a preference towards the usage of "Iaijutsu", a method in Japanese sword fighting that involves quickly unsheathing for a rapid attack and then sheathing again. Adam proved to be adept in unarmed combat, utilizing kicks and grabs in addition to his swordsmanship. Although Blake and Yang ultimately managed to defeat and kill him, all three exhausted their Auras during the final duel, showing that Adam was nearly a match for their combined power.

    Furthermore, Adam's speed is shown to enable him to deflect numerous bullets in rapid succession with Wilt and Blush. Adam appeared to have advanced endurance, showing no signs of fatigue during an extended battle. He was also skilled at shooting his blade and hurling it as a saw-like attack.

    Adam was very intelligent despite his aggressive personality, as he repeatedly proved himself to be very quick thinking and a skilled manipulator, best shown of his takeover of the White Fang. As a leader, Adam displayed an excellent tactical acumen, planning the White Fang's Vale operations, and successfully executed a political take over of the White Fang. Adam was also capable with psychological warfare, skillfully taunting Blake and Yang in all of his engagements with the two. Even at the height of his obsession with Blake, Adam retained his quick thinking on the battlefield. Weapon

    Main article: Wilt and Blush Adam's weapons of choice were Wilt and Blush. Wilt is a red sword and Blush is a rifle that also functions as a scabbard.

    Semblance

    Main article: Moonslice Black trailer moonslice Adam's final attack from the "Black" Trailer With his Semblance, Moonslice, Adam was able to absorb or block the energy from an enemy attack and re-emit it again in powerful red energy strikes; he could also use the absorbed energy to increase his speed and strength, to the point that he could pierce others' Aura (as demonstrated by his wounding of both Blake and Yang at the Battle of Beacon). However, he could only absorb energy through a weapon, as shown in his fight with Blake and Yang. This enabled him to avoid taking damage directly during absorption, but left him unable to use his Semblance if he was disarmed. When using Moonslice, Adam's hair, blade and parts of his clothing glowed red.

    Weaknesses

    In light of all of his strength, power, and cunning, Adam was far from unstoppable. His over-reliance on his sword to fight and channel his Semblance caused him to become practically helpless without it in his final duel with Blake and Yang.

    Adam's most obvious weakness was his emotional instability. His one-track need to enact his vengeance on those whom he felt wronged him often caused him to lash out with either physical or emotional violence, driving others away. After his humiliating defeat in "Haven's Fate", he quickly lost all support from the White Fang as a result of this. It could also drive him to the point to where he was blinded from anger like an actual bull, causing him to recklessly attack opponents without thinking his actions through, which would ultimately lead to his defeat by Blake and Yang.

However, she was killed by the Curious Cat in a fit of rage over her breaking her end of their deal.

    Lewis would later write a tale of their adventure in honor of her while omiting his own involvement from it, making him the author of The Girl Who Fell Through The World.

    Alyx was a young girl with dark brown skin, long dark brown wavy hair and hazel eyes. She wore a baby blue collar shirt with short puffy sleeves, and a navy blue dress that fades lighter towards the skirt with golden trimmed design and off-white tulle underneath, and black leather boots. In addition, she wore a dark blue headband with two knots resembling rabbit ears, a colorful waist sash that consisted of navy, red, cyan, gold, and magenta strings with a golden rabbit pin, and bandages wrapped around her right leg.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Alyx, in the fairytale The Girl Who Fell Through the World, was described as a petulant, cunning, intelligent, innocent and adventurous girl who strived to return home after arriving in the Ever After. In order to navigate through the foreign world she managed to manipulate, lie and cheat the natives of the world into helping her in her quest, with the story ultimately painting her as both a desperate little girl who had done everything to survive in a foreign world and as someone "mean" due to her methods. Alyx was also described to have had difficulty in understanding the customs of the Ever After and unknowingly ignited a war by accident due to her ignorance.

    As depicted in the story, she was described by Yang Xiao Long to not be the nicest person, due to her actions of lying and cheating her way through all of the challenges in the Ever After. According to Ozpin, she entered the Ever After after fleeing from the consequences of a choice, and rather than learning from her mistake, she ends up spreading her failure. Weiss Schnee argues that instead, she was merely trying to survive in the perilous land and her actions are due to the simple morals of old fairy tales.

    In reality, as revealed by Jaune in "Confessions Within Cumulonimbus Clouds", Alyx was, selfish and even outright cruel, believing that the Ever After was imaginary and the rules didn’t apply to her. After meeting the Herbalist, something changed in her, as she turned on Jaune, the Curious Cat and even her brother Lewis and questioned them on everything. She become completely fixated in returning home to Remnant, going as far as tricking and poisoning Jaune, as she believed that he was against her.

    The Curious Cat claimed that Alyx lied and manipulated them with false promises to continue helping her and Lewis. Her selfish personality was intense enough that Jaune suspected she would get rid of her own brother by sacrificing him to the Tree just to escape, though this was proven false. In reality, once Alyx arrived at the Great Tree, she had a crisis of faith that led to a change of heart, and she decided to remain in the Ever After to fix all the problems she caused, so Lewis ended up being the one to leave. However, the Curious Cat saw her choice as betrayal which led to them killing her, debunking the Cat's earlier claim as nothing more than their own fury towards her.

    It was revealed in "A Knight's Journal" that before her strained relationship with the others, Alyx had enjoyed the Ever After. Jaune noted that she had fun hearing all of his stories alongside her brother, showing delight as she explored the land with them and smiling at all the wonders.

    What is known of Alyx's fighting ability is limited. While her story describes her as someone who managed to escape the Hunter Mice's trap and fought off the Jabberwalker, it is uncertain how she did it.

    Her most notable trait was her cunning personality. As depicted in her fairy tale story, Alyx had manipulated, lied and cheated her way through her journey in the Ever After and it was implied that her intelligence and cunning was the main reason why she managed to survive through the ordeals she faced. Some of her successful schemes was her tricking the Red King in his game in order to get his help in her quest to get to the Great Tree. She also secretly poisoned Jaune's meal without him suspecting anything and convinced Lewis and the Cat to continue helping her to escape the Ever After despite her actions. Weapons

    Alyx had an ordinary dagger to defend herself with in her journey in the Ever After. However, while it was stated that she used it to defend herself from the Jabberwalker, she was was unable to fight back against the Curious Cat when they turned on her, ending her life.

    Amber had a light brown complexion, with shoulder-length, straight brown hair. She had a beauty mark below her left eye. She used to wear a long, green hooded cloak on top of an off-white blouse with frill detailing on the shoulders, pleated lower half with a central split, alongside a brown vest that had three straps and golden lining around the collar. She had a dark brown corset with matching pants, as well as a pair of brown thigh-high boots with large cuffs and golden armour plating covering the boots up to her knees.

    She also had an amber pendant on her vest, a gold bracer on her left arm, and two gold bracelets on her right wrist. Finally, she had a golden spaulder on her right shoulder as well as a brown shoulder strap with some pouches slung diagonally across her body.

    After she was attacked, she was left with extensive facial scarring. When housed inside her life support pod, she was seen wearing a white tube top and a white skirt.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Not much is known about Amber's personality, but when she came across an illusion of a young girl crying she went to check on her and offered her an apple, showing her to be very kind.

    Also, Qrow described her as "inexperienced," implying that she was somewhat naïve and easily fooled due to her kindness.

    This assessment is given further credence by that fact that she was easily fooled by Emerald's illusion of an innocent little girl wounded in the roadside, despite the obvious suspicious circumstances concerning why a child would be alone in the middle of nowhere.

    However despite her naivety due to her inexperience and compassion, it is shown that Amber at least had enough combat experience and instinct to be able to detect Emerald despite her illusion still rendering her invisible.

    However, Amber could also become cold and ruthless when pushed to the edge, such as where she was fully prepared to kill Emerald after successfully disarming her and putting her at her mercy.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    During her fight against Cinder Fall and her team, Amber showcased a considerable amount of skill when in combat, able to overpower the trio and fend them off for a prolonged period of time, even nearly defeating all three of them at the same time.

She also showed that she could use her weapon as a spear to stab her opponents by using the sharp ends of the Dust crystals, seen where she attempted to finish off Emerald.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    Similar to Jinn, Ambrosius' appearance is that of a Human, but much larger. His skin is blue that glows and gives off smoke, similarly to the Relic of Creation. He has elongated, pointed ears, and lacks some Human anatomy. He also has short, spiky light blue hair with a long ponytail leading down to his thighs. His eyes are dark blue in the sclerae and pupils and a lighter blue in the irises.

    Ambrosius appears nude-like and wears only various accessories, all of which are gold: stud earrings, gold ring for his ponytail, arm ring on his left upper arm, bracers on his wrists with chains dangling from them like broken shackles, vine like ornaments on his right thigh and left lower leg and a ankle bracelet on his right and chains around his torso crossing his chest and terminating in point resembling the Relic of Creation.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Described by Ozpin as quite a character, Ambrosisus is an extremely enthusiastic and boisterous being, being very loud and animated in his mannerisms and having an unparalleled passion for creation and design. However, he is quite prideful and temperamental, making it clear that he doesn't want to hear any complaints about what he creates if it isn't exactly what the user wanted. As seen from how he created the portal doorways, he is extremely detail oriented.

    Ambrosius seems to enjoy subverting the person who uses him as seen in "Worthy", where he purposefully made the portals from Atlas to Vacuo inaccessible after exiting by taking advantage of Weiss Schnee's metaphor of making the portals a "One-way ticket", even though he warned them prior that he will give exactly what they asked for.

    Despite this, if presented with genuine creativity from someone he is much more lenient. When Team RWBY explained to him their plan on saving Penny Polendina, he was so impressed that he allowed them to "cheat" a bit regarding his rules in order to achieve it.[1]

    He has an appreciation for the work of fellow craftsmen, as he complimented whoever created Penny and stated that he would have loved to meet them.

    Like Jinn, Ambrosius is supposed to be impartial to whoever uses his Relic, and will accept any request given to him that does not directly violate the rules of the Staff. Despite this, the God of Light gave him a benevolent nature and he ultimately wants Humanity to succeed.[2]

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    As a being created by the God of Light, the full extent of his power is unknown. However, it is clear that he is very powerful and capable of many feats.

    He has the ability to create anything provided that he is given precise details on it. He was able to conjure an exact copy of Penny Polendina using her existing robot parts as well as create a new body to house her soul, effectively transforming her into a Human. Ambrosius also showed the power to manipulate space-time to not only create a dimension similar to the Vaults, but portals to everyone in Atlas that exit to Vacuo, all without any effort. Despite this, only one of his creations can exist at any time, as the previous one will cease to exist the moment he finishes another task.

    He is also extremely specific with how he uses his powers, as when Team RWBY asked for a "one-way ticket" to Vacuo, it was later shown that there was quite literally no way back through the portal once already traveled through it. Finally, he is forbidden from resurrecting the dead and destroying, the latter being against his purpose. However as seen in "The Final Word", it is possible for him to indirectly destroy by creating things that can be harmful such as fire.

    His creations appear to have no limit, as Ambrosius was able to generate an infinite supply of energy to keep Atlas afloat indefinitely as well as an endless amount of flames upon being requested by Cinder Fall.

    Like Jinn, Ambrosius is capable of stopping time whenever he is summoned from the Staff.

    Glass is an arrogant Atlesian elitest who has ties to the conspiracy led by Bram Thornmane against General James Ironwood. According to Weiss Schnee, even someone like her father Jacques Schnee wouldn't do business with Glass.

    When Team RWBY confront him, he boasts about his reputation and is annoyed when Ruby Rose doesn't really know who he is. After challenging the team to battle, he runs away in fear after seeing them arm themselves before returning with his "Glass Cannon Mk. II", a mechanical suit to fight them. History

    At some point Glass became part of the conspiracy against James Ironwood led by Bram Thornmane. Eventually, Glass was able to steal high-tech Atlas Military technology with the help of Olive Harper secretly supplying it to him and armed an entire Atlas mob with it after a weapon furnishing operation that took place in Solitas' southern coast Dust Mine. He was also able to distribute the orbs that attracted the Grimm as well after obtaining the blueprints from Thornmane from Fort Arrowfell.

    Harper eventually told Team RWBY of his involvement with the orbs and tell them to confront him in downtown Atlas while warning them about his goons being prepared for them. In reality, Harper was working as Thornmane's mole in the military and helping Glass get his hands on the military technology he provided for his goons.

    When they meet Glass in downtown Atlas, he warns them about snooping into his business and about his reputation before Ruby says she really doesn't know who he is which annoys him. After declaring that they would settle it between them, Glass ran away after seeing Team RWBY arm themselves with weapons before returning with the "Glass Cannon MK II", a mechanical suit he used to fight against them.

    After they defeated him, Glass told them everything he knew about the conspiracy and the orbs which he told them were bait to attract the Grimm. However, he didn't know much about who else was involved due to the other members using codenames to hide their true identities and everything being done without ever meeting them in person. Once he finishes, he asks them to leave him alone which they do. Powers and Abilities

    Despite Glass being fearful of Team RWBY after seeing them arm themselves, he was shown to be a skilled pilot when he used the "Glass Cannon MK II", a mechanical suit to fight against them. The Glass Cannon MK II is extremely durable, can move quickly on tank-like threads and has four arms, each one equipped with a different weapon: A cannon that fires electric orbs forward which change direction and fly downwards when they're above their target, a giant claw that can dislodge large boulders off the ground and toss them as projectiles, a pincer that launches large fire bombs, and a homing missile launcher.

    Arslan Altan[2] is the leader of Team ABRN. Arslan and her team were first revealed at the RTX 2015 RWBY Panel on August 7th, 2015. Arslan is seen fighting Yang Xiao Long during the Vytal Festival Tournament.

    Appearance

    Arslan has a dark complexion, platinum blonde hair and olive green eyes. She wears a yellow robe with only one wide, loose-fitting sleeve over a black tube top. She also has black pants and shoes and a red sash embroidered with a white "endless knot" on it.

    She has bandages on both her legs and arms as well as a red necklace and what appears to be two matching red sticks on the back left side of her head.

    In her concept art, she wore both sleeves, which hung loosely at her side, exposing her shoulders. Her tank top also had straps. She wore boots instead of shoes and lacked the pins in her hair and necklace. In their place, she had red bands in her hair. Personality

    Arslan is a no-nonsense and serious girl who is motivated to prove herself as a leader and a capable Huntress. She is highly protective of her teammates, showing a deeply caring nature towards them, as shown when she defends Velvet Scarlatina from Xanthe Rumpole. Arslan is described as an amazing natural leader by Scarlet David, who deserves better.

    Arslan is also highly courageous, as shown by being amongst the first to step to defend Shade Academy, and is more patient than her teammates in ABRN. Powers and Abilities

    Arslan is shown to be skilled at hand-to-hand combat, being evenly-matched against Yang in both speed and physical strength, despite the fact Arslan fights barehanded. Her strength is later demonstrated once more when she swings down a Nevermore and lifted the taller and bulkier Yatsuhashi Daichi with a single arm before throwing him into the air with ease.

    According to RWBY: Amity Arena, Arslan is extremely proficient in the use of her Aura. Among her Aura techniques, Arslan can focus it all into a single large hit, which she can use to shatter objects such as large, rolling balls of ice. She is also listed as having extremely high physical capabilities.

    She appears to be one of the stronger, if not the strongest member of her team, and she saves her teammates Bolin Hori and Nadir Shiko from being knocked out of the ring. Ultimately, however, Arslan and her team are outclassed by Team RWBY.

    Weapons

    Main article: Arslan's Weapons Arslan's weapons of choice is a dagger which is able to shot from the hilt and connect to a chain, and a First Dust hand wrapping which she attached to her palm, allowing her to "punch" flames.[3]

    She is proficient with the dart, being able to trip up her opponents and catch them off-guard with it and even using it while she is simultaneously avoiding her opponent's attacks, jumping and flipping over the thread before launching it towards them to catch them when they least expect it.

    She can also use her rope dart to swing around objects and even using it to swing herself in an arc down a Nevermore before bringing herself back into the air with it.

    Trivia

    Allusion

    Arslan is Turkish and Mongolian for "Lion". Altan means "red dawn" in many Turkic languages and "golden" in Mongolian. Altan (Telgey) is a Mongolian earth goddess. Character&Design

    When asked what color Arslan's eyes were, her character designer, Erin Winn responded that she calls them olive green.[5] The fighting styles of Team ABRN (particularly Arslan) were stated on the DVD commentaries to be intended to have an Eastern martial arts influence to reflect the fact that they come from Haven.[6] Arslan's emblem is an endless knot, a symbol with strong religious significance that is primarily tied to Tibetan Buddhism. The endless knot symbolizes the infinite love and interdependence of all things.

    Doctor Arthur Watts was a major-supporting antagonist in RWBY who was introduced in "The Next Step" of Volume 4. He was an associate of Salem and part of her inner circle. He was also a disgraced former scientist from Atlas who had faked his own death in an event known as the Paladin Incident. He served as the main antagonist of Volume 7.

    In "The Final Word", he was trapped in the control room of Atlas' Command Center by Cinder Fall, which she proceeded to set ablaze, leaving him to die when Atlas collided with Mantle.

    V8 Opening 00034 Watts was a tall middle-aged man with a slim build and slightly tanned skin. He had short black and gray hair as well as a thick mustache and eyebrows, and green eyes.

    Originally, Arthur wore a gray overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt, and a black necktie. His pants were the same color as his overcoat. His yellow-buttoned undercoat and fingerless gloves matched his cordovan shoes, under which he wore yellow socks.

    V7 06 00078 Watts' coat and rings Following his arrival in Atlas, Watts began to wear a three-tone purple and lavender coat with a fur-lined hood and a gold buckle at the waist, and that had an upside-down pentagonal, dark gray strip of material below the collar. Additionally, he wore four rings on each hand, which he could use to hack Atlesian technology.

    In "Worst Case Scenario", it was revealed that when Watts had worked with Pietro Polendina, he wore a yellow turtleneck sweater underneath a white lab coat along with light gray pants and black shoes. His hair was black, and his mustache was thinner at the time.

    Watts was a formal and sophisticated man. He spoke in a refined accent, yet he could be arrogant and condescending, even to his allies. However, he was humble enough to not take credit for things he didn't achieve by himself, for when Salem initially thought he found out where the Spring Maiden was, he revealed it was Qrow Branwen when he spoke to Leonardo Lionheart.

    Watts stated that he had a very low opinion of failure, which extended to Cinder Fall after she was defeated by Ruby Rose. He criticized and belittled Cinder and enjoyed provoking her every chance he got, especially since she couldn't talk back. He also looked down upon her underlings, Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black. However, Salem chastised him for his needless "malignance", and he avoided speaking out of line in her presence. When not in Salem's presence he would accurately point to why the person failed and how they could improve very bluntly and very rarely showed regret for what he said. However, his tendency to insult people ended up backfiring and got him harmed as seen with individuals like Cinder and Ironwood.

    Arthur also had a tendency to become interested in new topics of study. Case in point, when he and Lionheart reported to Salem about the location of the Spring Maiden, Arthur showed immense interest in the Seer. Because of this habit, he showed no interest in unlocking his own Semblance due to believing that the time needed would be better used for his research.

    Even before his apparent fall from grace in his field, Arthur had a self-serving and strategic mindset, creating a backdoor in Mantle's security network for his own personal use and potential exploitation. He was shown to be spiteful and vengeful, with his apparent motive behind joining Salem being rage against Ironwood and Pietro Polendina, claiming Ironwood never appreciated his genius and made an effort to spite James after he managed to get Jacques Schnee on his side.

    This grudge against Ironwood and Pietro also heavily emphasized that Watts, similar to his associate Cinder, possessed a massive ego and intense pride in his abilities and talents, and took great offense when Ironwood refused to acknowledge the greatness of his genius and felt a severe blow to his pride when the General selected Pietro's work over his own. An aspect of this is the fact that Watts was never able to wrap his head around the idea of a soul transfer, and he greatly underestimated Penny's cognitive capabilities because of this.[4]

    Watts was rather sadistic, as shown in his evident satisfaction in trapping James Ironwood's organic left arm during their fight within Amity Tower, and when he laughed when he armed Ironwood's bomb after Harriet failed too. In "The Enemy of Trust", Watts contently smiled when he saw Salem and her incoming army finally arrived in Atlas due to believing she would destroy the Kingdom. However, he didn't relish in the pain and fear of his enemies to the same extent as his colleagues, Cinder Fall and Tyrian Callows.

    He was also a cunning and opportunistic individual, as when he was coerced into working for Ironwood with the threat of being shot if he didn't comply, Watts was able to take advantage of a moment of distraction from Ironwood and his subordinates to discretely hack into Penny and caused her to fall to the ground before managing to make it look like it wasn't his fault, and taunted Ironwood into throwing a Scroll at him which he hid and took with him when Ironwood's soldiers escorted him back to his cell, allowing him to contact Salem while in prison.

    When threatened by Cinder in "Ultimatum", Watts showed no fear of dying. Notably, instead of freaking out when she held him by the edge of building, he harshly called her out on all of her failures. However, in "The Final Word", he was shown screaming out in fear after he was trapped in the burning control room, suggesting he did fear dying, just not by Cinder's hand. Powers and Abilities

    Watts was a masterful scientist, specializing in the fields of computer engineering, mechanical engineering, anatomical engineering, espionage, guerrilla warfare, and security systems. He was held in high regard by Salem, who typically addressed him by his title of "Doctor", which indicated her respect for his capabilities.

    Watts' fighting style was very methodical, keeping track of the number of shots fired by himself and his opponents. He was also somewhat agile for his age, moving deftly using his rings to create Hard-Light Dust projections to create platforms across vast distances. He even was able to use his projections similarly to bear traps, serving to pin his targets' limbs in place at the risk of burning off a great deal of flesh if they attempted to flee. In addition, he displayed some skill in close quarters fighting, briefly defending himself against James Ironwood's attacks while landing a few blows in return.

    However, he wasn't very physically durable, as he was taken down by a few direct hits from Ironwood and he never discovered his Semblance.[5] Programming & Hacking

    V7 06 00098 Watts forging a video recording of Penny in Tyrian's place slaughtering the people of Mantle Arthur's main role in Salem's group was the manipulation of technology: in the starting stages of starting the Fall of Beacon, Watts was the one who developed the Black Queen virus Cinder used to hack into the CCT tower in "Dance Dance Infiltration" and allowed her to control communications and even aspects of the Vytal Festival's tournament, such as selecting the otherwise randomized team matches. His emblem was visible in her Scroll when using the virus. The virus was also able to take control of Atlas' robot soldiers and turn them against the Kingdom. His expertise in virus creation was seen again when he installed a chip in a sword stolen from Penny Polendina that was able to transmit a virus to command her to open the Atlas Vault and ultimately self-destruct.

    In "A New Approach", he mentioned that he made the code used in Mantle's systems, and in "As Above, So Below" Ironwood confirmed that he designed Mantle's entire security network and was seen manipulating the cameras so he wouldn't be exposed.

    Watts' acumen in technology and computer systems, along with rings on almost every finger, allowed him to synchronize an array of Scrolls to hack into the Atlesian security systems. In "A Night Off", the use of multiple, small Scrolls to make up the processing power of a single, centralized system permitted Watts to remain mobile and difficult to locate, playing into his pragmatic and strategic mindset. He was also able to frame Penny for the murder of several Mantle citizens by manipulating the recordings of her fight against Tyrian. Through the use of Jacques' new credentials, Watts neutralized the heating grid, which led to a Grimm invasion in Mantle.

    Amongst Watt's inventions included environmental Dust controls and the prototype of the Atlesian Paladin-290.[6]

    In Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, it was revealed he made a digital backup of his consciousness should the Atlas plan fail showing he is smart enough to make backups of the human mind.

    Prosthetics

    He was also able to give Tyrian Callows a new stinger after his old one got cut off by Ruby, displaying prowess in biomechanical engineering. The new stinger and tail that he constructed didn't appear to inhibit Tyrian's production of venom, but rather use it, with the addition of making the actual stinger itself retractable, while the segments to the tail seamlessly mesh with the organic base's flexibility and range of motion.

The shields themselves were strong enough to protect himself from several shots from Due Process.

    Additionally, the Rings also possessed a trap function, whereby placing the Rings in four corners to shape box-like magnets and activating them, Watts could handcuff a person by literally trapping one of his opponent's limbs in a Hard-Light shield that, if attempted to forcibly remove by sliding past it, would severely burn and even permanently damage their limb.

    Oobleck is a man with messy green hair. In Volumes 1 and 2, he has brown eyes, but in Volume 3, his eyes are a sapphire blue. His eyes changed back to brown in Volume 4. His attire is disheveled: his white shirt partially tucked into his dark-green pants and its collar raised, showing a slack yellow tie, along with mismatched brown and black shoes. He also has round glasses that appear to be opaque.

    When assigned to lead Team RWBY on a search and destroy mission located in southeast Vale during the events of "Field Trip", Oobleck wears a long brown great coat, a khaki buttoned safari shirt and a pith helmet; this is presumably his combat outfit, all of which appear to be properly worn and tucked in and such, unlike his earlier attire. He also carries a rather large backpack.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Oobleck's trademark characteristics are his extreme hyperactivity and his love for coffee, tea, or some other stimulant. Not only does he frequently "glide" about in class at incredible speeds, but he also speaks very rapidly. This energy might be a result of him constantly drinking what appears to be coffee. His unkempt look and the mess on and around his desk suggest he has little to no regard for tidiness.

    During his class, Oobleck is very enthusiastic and strict about his work, being very happy when inattentive students, such as Jaune Arc, seem ready to contribute to class and punishing students who perform poorly. This is because behind his almost flamboyant behavior, Oobleck is an incredibly deep and compassionate thinker, completely dedicated to and relishing in his roles as a Huntsman and teacher. Oobleck views history as an important way to prevent the repetition of past mistakes, saying the advancement of knowledge is worthy of being referred to as fighting, for it will better prepare Humanity's future in the fight for survival against the Grimm.

    Oobleck respects Faunus, shown when he shakes his head disapprovingly at Cardin Winchester's discriminatory remark and his strong disdain when hearing several Faunus students in his class had suffered discrimination based on heritage.

    Oobleck also takes into account why Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee chose to become Huntresses. However, none of them gives him a satisfactory answer, though later he finds out the girls' true, more mature and more satisfactory reasons behind training to become Huntresses that night while pretending to be asleep.

    Oobleck takes pride in his historical knowledge. In "Mountain Glenn", Oobleck is upset and angry at himself for not remembering the information about Mountain Glenn's underground city. This same pride causes him to snap at people who call him "Professor", demanding they address him properly as "Doctor".

    He is not without a sense of humor, however, as shown in "Family" when he laughs at an anecdote about Qrow Branwen being tricked into wearing a skirt to class.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    Despite his eccentric demeanor and his civilian appearance, Oobleck is a skilled and experienced Huntsman, considered qualified to escort students on field assignments and assess their fighting abilities. While capable of wielding traditional weapons, Oobleck himself believes his greatest asset and contribution is his mind, studying past mistakes in order to impart that knowledge to his students so that they may avoid repeating them. He has also earned a Ph.D., a testament to his intellect, and possesses expertise in the fields of history and archaeology, something of which has turned out to be extremely useful, as seen during his mission with Team RWBY. He has been shown to be able to move at great speeds, although it is unclear whether this is his semblance or merely comical exaggeration. Weapon

    Main article: Antiquity's Roast Oobleck's weapon of choice is Antiquity's Roast, a flamethrower staff that can transform into a thermos. It is first seen in "Jaunedice, Pt.2", and in its extended form of a large torch in "Mountain Glenn". In "No Brakes", Oobleck shows to have tremendous skill with his weapon, using it to fend off a Paladin with ease while also using his speed and the attack of his weapon's fire to his advantage. He has been seen to move so quickly, he appears stationary while speeding across a room. He shows great teamwork with Ruby and Zwei.

    The Blacksmith is a unique Afteran that Ruby Rose and Little meet in the Ever After, first appearing in "The Parfait Predicament".

    In "A Tale Involving a Tree", she is revealed to be an avatar of the Great Tree and is responsible for guiding the process of Ascension.

    Appearance

    The Blacksmith appears to be mechanical in nature, bearing an almost robotic skeletal appearance. Her eye sockets look to be hollow, and her head is made up of several segmented metallic plates. In back of her exposed spine is a contorted wooden trunk that branches outward to resemble a tree. She is also rather tall, easily towering over Ruby Rose, and has pronounced feminine features.

    She wears a leather apron tied behind the neck and cinched with a belt buckle around the waist, a pair of large gloves, and a blue bandana tied around her forehead from which a chain is draped similar to a braid. Image Gallery

    Obscured by shadows Obscured by shadows Full appearance Full appearance Personality

    The Blacksmith has a very calm and kind personality. She is kind enough to let people lay down their burdens and trade a new weapon for these burdens. She also becomes concerned whenever the people she encounters are alone. Much like the Curious Cat, she possesses a mysterious and enigmatic personality, often giving off a very cryptic demeanor to those she meets. Unlike the Cat, however, who was eventually revealed to be cruel and manipulative, the Blacksmith genuinely has only good intentions and seems to want to help her fellow Afterans and others.

    Her doting motherly nature reflects her role in the Ever After, being the one who repairs and transforms those who have ascended or become broken. She always appears to be diligently crafting. In matching her role as a smith, she also appears to be patient, willing to set down her tools and works to make time to assist those in need of counsel. However, she gently expresses that the final choice is ultimately up to her charges and not her, and that she only acts as a guide to help her charges understand who they want or need to be.

    The Blacksmith takes great joy in creating, especially the not knowing of what something will turn out to be. Unlike the Gods, the Blacksmith has a different belief towards balance. Rather than two opposing forces in a never-ending conflict, she believes that balance is an ecosystem, a living thing that restores equilibrium on its own without force, manipulation, or calculation. Hence why she rarely intervenes directly in situations, choosing to let things play out on their own.

    Despite their differences, the Blacksmith has a great appreciation towards the Gods' creations, stating that their interactions and influence in the Ever After brought forth marvelous changes in the most unexpected ways. Powers and Abilities

    As an Avatar of the Great Tree, the Blacksmith possess several immensely powerful abilities and powers. She is insinuated to have a in-depth knowledge of those she seeks to assist and also awareness of events that occur in not just the Ever After but beyond. The scale of her full capabilities is unknown.

    Summoning: She has the ability to bring whoever they want to her domain, through isolating their target in a fog of darkness that begins replacing the environment around them into the Blacksmith's workshop. Conjuration: She also appears to have the ability to bring forth lost items before her and even call forth several weapons contained in glass cases each representing a possibility of a new identity. Apparition: Within the plane inside the Great Tree, the Blacksmith displayed the ability to transport herself instantly from one location to the next. When she uses this ability, she appears with a glow of green light with multi-colored leaves. Memory Projection: The items and weapons possessed by the Blacksmith are not just representations of possible identities but also offer glimpses of the past of those who wielded them when touched. The Blacksmith herself is able to see the memories that are reflected without physical contact. Additionally, in conjunction with the burning light of her forge pit she can project images of the past to others. Portal Creation: The Blacksmith is capable of creating portals at a wave of a hand, similar to Ambrosius, though unlike him who requires exact blueprints and schematics, she is capable of designing one that takes the user not only where but even when they are needed most. Dimensional-Awareness: The Blacksmith is shown to have knowledge of what occurs beyond the Ever After, as she was able to show Ruby Summer's past despite not being there. There are limits to this ability, as the Blacksmith admitted that the Great Tree had no idea about the Brothers secret experiments nor expected Ruby to ascend so soon. Ascension: As shown in “A Tale Involving a Tree”, the Blacksmith is an Avatar of the Tree who oversees the process of Ascension. Creation: As seen during Ruby’s ascension, the Blacksmith is the one who is in charge of creating the new forms of an entity that goes through ascension with her role reflected in metal-working and wood-carving. She does this at her workshop, where she forges weapons and items that represent the new forms and identities of a person. Power Granting: As implied by the Afterans, after a being goes through ascension, not only is the Blacksmith able to create new forms for the being’s new life, but she can also grant them unique powers to help them fulfil their new purposes and roles.

    Bram Thornmane is the main antagonist and final boss of RWBY: Arrowfell. He is introduced as a guardian of the village of Essen at the end of the first chapter of the game. As the game progresses, his malicious intentions come to light, with the events of the game caused by his plot to overthrow James Ironwood.

    Following a battle with Team RWBY, he was imprisoned by the Atlas Military. However, with the destruction of Atlas in “The Final Word”, his current status is unknown.

    Appearance

    Thornmane shares the red and white color scheme of many Atlas operatives such as the Ace-Ops, though rather than a primary color of white, his outfit is primarily red. He has a very formal appearance, wearing a red jacket with golden accents, and golden brooches on his shoulders. The left brooch holds a golden chain connected the lapel of his jacket. Beneath the jacket is a black vest with gold accents tucked in beneath his beige slacks. Under the vest is a white dress shirt and a darker red tie.

    Thornmane's in-game portrait Thornmane's in-game portrait Personality

    When Team RWBY first encounter him, Thornmane is initially shown to act noble and caring towards the people of Essen, telling Team BRIR to leave since they were done with paying them for protection. He was also helpful towards Team RWBY since he took the mysterious device off their hands and recommended they consult with Atlas Military Lieutenant Colonel Olive Harper to learn more about it.

    In truth however, Thornmane is the leader of a conspiracy against General James Ironwood due to him not being chosen as a member of the Ace Operatives. Thornmane was revealed to be a manipulative individual due to threatening Hanlon Fifestone to work with him and tricking Team BRIR into believing that Team RWBY were the ones actually behind stealing the orbs from Fort Arrowfell. He is also shown to laugh after attacking and let's his guard down, something Team RWBY take advantage of in order to defeat him. Right before he is defeated by the team, he revealed that he wanted to join the Ace Operatives so he could be seen as a hero and admired by the people, revealing that he is a glory seeker in the process.

    Thornmane was also an observant judge of character, as he seemingly noticed Ironwood's deteriorating mental state before anyone else, stating that it would only be a matter of time before the rest would notice as well. Though due to his hatred towards Ironwood, it is unknown if he truly noticed or simply stated it in anger due to being captured and arrested, but his words later became true when Ironwood decided to abandon Mantle and later planned on destroying it. History

    Thornmane was once a student of Atlas Academy and trained under James Ironwood in the hopes of becoming an Ace Operative. This did not work out for him, as Ironwood rejected him due to not having a strong enough Semblance. He departed the academy sometime after, resentful toward Ironwood due to the rejection.

    He spent some time as a Huntsman before retiring to live in the village of Essen where he acted as the village's guardian.

    Over time, his resentment towards Ironwood eventually grew into a conspiracy to show him in a bad light to the public using technology from the abandoned Atlesian Military base Fort Arrowfell. Among the individuals involved with the conspiracy were Huntresses Team BRIR, Lieutenant Colonel Olive Harper, Mantle union leader Hanlon Fifestone, and Amoncio Glass, a member of the Atlesian elite. RWBY: Arrowfell

    Thornmane is first seen after Team BRIR kill the Megoliath around Essen after Team RWBY weaken it. After this, he tells Team BRIR that he already said for them to never come back due to not wanting to deal with them harassing the people for payment. After they leave, Thornmane introduces himself to Team RWBY and tells them about Team BRIR being rouge Huntresses who only protect people in exchange for payment. He also learns that they have a strange orb-like device that could apparently attract the creatures of Grimm. Under the guise of assisting them and due to not wanting his plot to be discovered so soon, Thornmane takes the device off of Team RWBY's hands and directs them to his mole in the Atlas Military, Olive Harper, to assist them with uncovering what the device is as they leave.

    Following this, Thornmane met with Team BRIR again and framed Team RWBY as the ones who stole the orbs from Fort Arrowfell.

    After Team RWBY defeat Amoncio Glass in Downtown Atlas, Thornmane is shown in Ironwood's office as Harper tells Ironwood what just transpired as Team RWBY return. As everyone present discuss the situation, they come to the conclusion that Glass got the Atlas Military Technology from someone currently in the military with Thornmane and Harper keeping it secret that the latter was the one that gave it to him. They also realize that the person who has been extracting emotions to power the orbs was Mantle's most celebrated union leader Hanlon Fifestone as they leave Team RWBY to deal with him.

    Once Thornmane is revealed to be the mastermind behind the conspiracy, he and Harper retreat to Fort Arrowfell in order to deal with Team RWBY and the Atlas Military. When Team RWBY reach him, they engage in battle until Thornmane is defeated. He is then restrained by Atlas Soldiers after learning that Team BRIR and Olive abandoned him. Before being arrested, Thornmane yells at Ironwood that it wouldn't be too long before the people see who he really was.

    Powers and Abilities

    Weapon

    Thornmane wields a silver bow that can be split into two daggers, similar to Cinder Fall's Midnight. His weapon allows him to fire arrows in multiple directions and can even remote control certain arrows he fires.

    Councilwoman Camilla is a character in RWBY. She was a member of the Atlas Council, which governed the Kingdom of Atlas. Following its destruction in "The Final Word", her current status is unknown.

    Appearance

    Camilla has a dark complexion, styling her gray hair with a curly style. She wears purple eyeshadow and a black shirt with a wine-red coat over the top. Camilla wears a golden necklace around her neck and matching earrings. She wears black pants and a black belt with a golden circular buckle. Personality

    Camilla is a cordial woman who put her concerns for the Kingdom of Atlas before other priorities. Like the other councilmen of the Kingdom, she appeared to be frustrated with James Ironwood's practices as General and Headmaster of Atlas Academy and had begun expressing expiration and worry for the Kingdom due to the Dust Embargo and closing of its borders from the rest of the world implemented by him, showing that she valued her Kingdom's prosperity and diplomatic relations greatly and desired to restore it before it was too late.

    After trying to confront Ironwood about declaring martial law and watching him kill councilman Sleet, Camilla was horrified by Ironwood's actions and presumably was scared to act against him again.

    Cardin has burnt-orange hair that is combed backward with a slight peak at the front and indigo eyes. He wears silver-gray armor with gold trim.

    His chestplate sports a bird with its wings outstretched. Underneath the armor, he wears a black shirt with red trimmings and black pants with a red sash tied around his waist. He also wears silver-gray armoured under the knee boots that match the rest of his armor.

    It should also be noted that Cardin is very tall. He stands at least a head above the rest of his teammates.

    Original Original School Uniform School Uniform

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Cardin's personality can be compared to the classic stereotype of the "school bully", with some minor exceptions. Such characters are often found in school dramas and teen movies. He and his team enjoy hurting and picking on others. This is shown when he makes fun of Velvet Scarlatina for being a Faunus, which could also reflect some prejudice and hate towards the humanoid species.

    He is also shown to excessively bully Jaune Arc. In "Jaunedice, Pt.2", Cardin further showed his racism and discrimination towards the Faunus by saying it is easier to train an animal than a soldier, which reflects on how he sees the Faunus as nothing but complete animals, leaving Bartholomew Oobleck disappointed.

    Cardin has shown to get offended quite easily, such as when he clenched his fists in anger when Blake Belladonna commented on General Lagune's failure, which is how he will be remembered by. This implies that Cardin may have looked up to, or approved of, General Lagune. However, it is possible that he was angered by Blake's remark about General Lagune not paying attention in class, a trait which he and Cardin have in common, being the cause of him being remembered as a failure.

    Cardin is shown to be quite manipulative and exploitative, as seen when he blackmails Jaune in order to have Jaune do his work. Cardin himself has proven to be quite deceptive, shown when he calls Jaune a "friend", stating he would not reveal his secret.

    However, this may have been Cardin's way of getting Jaune to do everything for him, in return to not tell the secret, or a trick in fooling Jaune long enough until the secret is revealed. He also seems to be very lazy, as are his teammates. Shown by how they frequently ask Jaune for favors while blackmailing him.

    He is also shown to hold a grudge and may have a tendency to exact revenge on others by whatever means necessary, not caring about the consequences for the target. In "Forever Fall", he asks that Jaune bring him some Rapier Wasps the night before the field trip. He then has Jaune find some extra red sap while in the forest.

    He plans to use both of these to get revenge on Pyrrha Nikos for humiliating him in a class by answering a question he could not. This may also show that he finds pleasure in hurting others, or having others hurt people they are close to. This can be seen with his constant teasing of Jaune, Velvet, and many others at Beacon. Cardin is also seen to be somewhat of a coward, almost just like the rest of his team.

    It is shown during his battle with Pyrrha that if driven to a certain point, he will ignore his surroundings and do whatever he can to hit the opponent, as shown when Cardin nonchalantly hits his teammates to get leverage for his next strike against Pyrrha.

    Despite his negative traits Cardin has displayed some positive qualities. Choosing to back off and stop blackmailing Jaune after the latter saved his life. While many other students fled in panic once the Vytal Festival was attacked, Cardin stayed to join the defense.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    During the sparring match in "Jaunedice", he is shown to be physically superior to Jaune during their battle, as he overpowers him easily. His current weapon is called The Executioner - a large mace equipped with a fire Dust crystal. He is able to swing his weapon one-handed and disarm Jaune's shield in one hit. However, he is overpowered by an Ursa in "Forever Fall, Pt.2" while trying to escape, and most likely would have been killed by the Grimm if not for Jaune's intervention.

    Cardin is also rather opportunistic, as he quickly noticed an exploitable piece of information to use against Jaune. In addition, Cardin was shown in the battle against Pyrrha to wait for his allies to create an opening before making his attack; however, he unwittingly knocks out Dove Bronzewing during one of his assaults. Weapon

    Main article: The Executioner Cardin's weapon of choice is The Executioner. In "Extracurricular", Cardin was seen to have a high degree of skill with his mace, as shown in his battle against Pyrrha. He used his weapon effectively with one or both hands in addition to deflecting gunfire or using the Dust to generate explosions. Cardin is also shown to be quite durable, taking several direct hits from Pyrrha without being knocked down until the very end, reflecting a Tank-like approach in combat.

    Young Cordovin and the Colossus on an Atlas military poster Young Cordovin and the Colossus on an Atlas military poster Personality

    Caroline is a prideful, condescending and arrogant woman who deeply venerates the Kingdom of Atlas, to the point where she overly exaggerates Atlas' greatness, denies any weaknesses that her Kingdom or James Ironwood has, and believes that Atlas could take on the world and win. She is shown to look down on non-Atlesians, having a low opinion of Argus' citizens and the rest of the world, who became hostile towards Atlas due to the events of the 40th Vytal Festival.

    She takes her job extremely seriously, such as putting Maria Calavera on the additional screening list for life for bringing contraband one time. She is so strict on following Ironwood's order to close Atlas' borders that she refuses to let anyone in, only willing to allow Weiss Schnee to return home to her family if she goes alone.

    She also shows contempt towards Blake Belladonna, indicating that she may be discriminatory against Faunus.

    Caroline has been shown to be quite unstable and merciless when crossed, as she unleashed the might of an Atlesian Colossus in a display of power despite the risk that such a weapon could pose to Argus and the extremely negative emotions of fear brought out by the massive weapon on the populace of Argus.

    However, despite her extremely nationalist and bitter attitude, she does have a sense of responsibility towards defending Argus, as she was able to put aside her anger and help Ruby's group kill the Leviathan, even allowing them to travel to Atlas afterward on a "missing" Manta transport.

    This shows that despite letting her emotions get the better of her and her own bitter attitude clouding her judgment, Cordovin is also mature and sensible enough to acknowledge her mistakes and put aside her own negative feelings for both the sake of others and her duties.

    Coco Adel is a former student of Beacon Academy and the leader of Team CFVY. Her weapon of choice is Gianduja, a handbag that can transform into a rotary cannon. She is first seen in "Field Trip", after returning from fighting the Grimm.

    Following the Fall of Beacon, Coco and her team transferred to Shade Academy.[2]

    Coco is a young woman with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel.

    Her clothes consist of a long, cocoa-colored shirt with an upturned layered frill collar with a black single strapped waist cincher. She wears black trousers that have golden lining around the pocket and ribbons attached to the back of a golden zipper seam around her knees. A black golden studded belt is normally hidden by a large cocoa-colored belt with gun cartridges on the left side and a large golden crosshair buckle. A large piece of black fabric is attached to her belt hanging down on her right side. She wears a pair of dark black, high-heeled leather calf-high boots with golden buckles.

    Coco also dons a number of accessories, such as a bracelet with black roses as decoration; these are accompanied by black gloves and three beaded necklaces alongside a black scarf tied around her collar. She wears a black beret with a cocoa brown trim and a pair of black, wire-rimmed aviator sunglasses. She is seen holding a black shoulder bag with gold studs, which is held by a bandolier strap; the bag is her weapon, Gianduja, transforming into an oversized black and gold minigun.

    In RWBY: Before the Dawn, Coco's sunglasses are upgraded by Velvet Scarlatina with night vision and scoping technology. Coco refers to this tech as "BunnyVision".[3] Personality

    Coco appears to be very confident: her self-assurance is expressed in the very way she struts through the battlefield. Her experience with Grimm has been consistent enough that their appearance no longer fazes her. Coco is confident enough in her team that she holds Velvet back from combat when she tries to unleash her weapon. She is also seen slapping Fox Alistair on his bottom as she compliments his performance.

    Her confidence is later seen once more in "Lessons Learned" when she states that she likes Emerald Sustrai after her initial taunting of her. There is also a touch of sportsmanship and open-mindedness in showing appreciation for Emerald despite being opponents who sass each other. She claims to love a challenge and being first in things.

    However, the confident, self-assured way Coco carries herself can be disrupted. This is first seen during the episode "Lessons Learned" when her hands began trembling after realizing she saw Yatsuhashi Daichi when he was not actually there. Additionally, Coco contemplates the definition of being a leader, looking to others, such as Ozpin or Glynda Goodwitch, as examples of what good leadership means.

    Originally, Coco was a very individualistic person, but her time in Beacon taught her to trust and lean on her team for support. Still, she was fairly self-centered in Vacuo, something which angered Velvet at times. Over time, this self-centeredness evolved into a protective nature of her team, defending them from even those who she admires, such as when she defended Velvet from Xanthe Rumpole.

    Coco's three favorite things are fashion, explosions, and killing Grimm, thus joining Beacon Academy allowed her to combine all three. Given her attire and her reaction to both the Grimm's destruction of her "favorite clothing store" and her sunglasses getting damaged in the course of her duel with Emerald, fashion is strongly integrated into her personality.

    Coco has a habit of using the cover provided by her sunglasses to discreetly evaluate other people. They also mask her own reactions to things. Despite being easily distracted by attractive women, Coco has shown the ability to move on and refocus on the task at hand quickly. She understands that physical appearance is not a person's most important attribute. Instead, character and ability are more valuable traits to her when selecting a romantic or combat partner.

    She has claustrophobia due to a childhood incident where she got stuck in a cupboard during a game of hide-and-seek. Following Team CFVY's mission at Lower Cairn, Coco had been off her game, being slightly less capable than usual due to the traumatic incident.

    By RWBY: Before the Dawn, Coco's leadership is shown to have immensely improved since the events of the Fall of Beacon and RWBY: After the Fall, now taking her teammates into consideration at every turn, noting how other people had an impact on them whether they realized or not. She is also shown to be demanding of her team, willing to go through with her plans despite her team protesting against them, and is judgmental of other people's leaders. Furthermore, she looks up to great Huntresses such as Rumpole or Glynda Goodwitch as role models for herself.

    Nonetheless, Coco's biggest flaw is the belief that she is perfect or close to it, making her stuck up and judgmental.[4] Powers and Abilities

    To some extent, Coco exhibits superhuman strength. Her weapon is a massive minigun hidden in a designer handbag. The ease with which she swings it around to use as a bludgeon in bag form belies its high mass. Her strength is also needed to utilize the minigun mode, as the rotational inertia of the barrels and the recoil are extremely high and would normally require emplacement to avoid losing control. Her weapon trades accuracy for volume-of-fire, so small and/or fast targets can avoid her shots.

    Additionally, Fox notes Coco has a large amount of Aura.

    In combat, Coco is not dependent on her weapon, as she is shown kicking a large Grimm to the ground before staring it down. In its gun form, her weapon is also capable of tearing Grimm into pieces, making her the ideal choice for clearing large packs. She effortlessly shreds a Death Stalker, followed by multiple giant Nevermores using her minigun; it previously required the combined effort of Team RWBY and Team JNPR to put down one of each. Unfortunately, her weapon has little effect on an armored Atlesian Paladin, as shown in "Heroes and Monsters"; this indicates her weapon is reliant on use of her Semblance to do significant damage.

    In "Lessons Learned", she and Yatsuhashi were outmaneuvered and ultimately beaten by Mercury Black and Emerald. Despite being able to deliver a high volume of fire, she was unable to score any hits whatsoever on either opponent with her minigun. Coco was able to use it to block some of Mercury's strikes even in its minigun mode, further exemplifying her incredible strength. In close combat, she attempted to use her handbag as a bludgeon, but this was likewise ineffective. This could indicate that she is vulnerable to more agile enemies.

    Coco is shown to be mostly a heavy hitter with little-to-no maneuverability when handling her weapon; during her match against Emerald and Mercury, she relied entirely on Yatsuhashi to defend her. After being dragged away by Emerald, however, she displayed enough agility to dodge Emerald's bullets with relative ease, but had to stow her minigun to do so. Weapon

    Clover was a man with short brown hair and teal-green eyes. He wore a sleeveless Atlesian Specialist uniform that consisted of a white sleeveless double breasted coat with red and blue accents with ornate detailing shaped to the form of wishbones, broad tail with red lining and a four-leaf clover pin on the lapel. His belt had a rabbit's foot keychain hanging off it. Clover also wore white pants and covered his hands with brown fingerless gloves. He also wears blue calf high boots with four dark blue straps and silver steel toe plating.

    Following his death, his four-leaf clover pin was kept by Qrow to remember him.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    During his debut, Clover displayed a confident attitude, and leadership skills, easily capturing Teams RWBY and JNR, Oscar Pine and Qrow with assistance from the other Ace-Ops.

    He has been described as a total bro character like Captain America who always makes luck puns. He constantly feels like he's in an action movie because things always go right for him, so he doesn't need to look when he's about to jump. This ultimately leads him to be a person that relies too much on his Semblance and causing him to ride the lines between confidence vs arrogance.[4]

    He appeared to be cordial and calm, as well as good-humored and easy to get along with. However, Clover was quick to turn back to a task at hand when needed. He was fiercely loyal, and tends to bring out the best in people, and did whatever it took to protect his Kingdom. He was also a bit duplicitous when he encountered Robyn Hill and the Happy Huntresses in "Sparks" and lied to them about where the supplies they were carrying were going.[5]

    Clover was highly charismatic and kind hearted to others, even to those he just met. He encouraged Qrow Branwen to open up more and stop beating himself over his Semblance, as well as to be more open to accepting complements. However, he could be somewhat manipulative when seeing windows of opportunity, as seen when he used Robyn's life as a bargaining chip to get Qrow to surrender.

    Clover, like other members of the Ace-Ops team, did not consider his teammates to be friends, due to having kept his heart guarded, only letting it down for a select few, in part from having experienced his share of pain in the past.[6] However, when he does open up to people, Clover was shown to be exceptionally trusting and loyal, willing to sacrifice his life for them if need be. If betrayed, Clover would be reluctant and regretful in regards to growing cold towards his friends and loved ones, pleading to find a way to fix things.[7]

    Like the rest of his team, he was loyal to James Ironwood, and always followed his orders without question. This later lead to his death, as his insistence on arresting Qrow despite the bigger threat of Tyrian Callows eventually resulted in him being murdered by the latter.

    Regardless of his flaws, Clover greatly respected his friends and allies, even if they worked on different sides. While he believed his complete faith in Ironwood was the right choice in his mind, he saw it as difficult and wanted to trust Qrow too, indicating a conflicted side. Even in his dying moments, Clover neither held grudges with nor blamed Qrow for his troubles and wished him good luck with stopping Ironwood.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    As the leader of the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, the most elite group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Remnant, he was a skilled fighter and a superbly formidable Huntsman.[8]

    During his fight with Qrow and Tyrian, Clover made frequent use of punches and kicks, being able to outmaneuver the two formidable fighters repeatedly and simultaneously. He also made use of his horseshoe, utilizing it as a projectile against Qrow. Weapon

    Main article: Kingfisher Clover's weapon of choice was Kingfisher, a collapsible fishing rod which he used as a grappling hook and whip. He was shown using it to grapple onto enemies, pulling at their limbs and tripping them up.

    Semblance

    Main article: Good Fortune Clover's Semblance, Good Fortune, allowed him to manipulate probability positively. Similar to Misfortune, Clover's Semblance was passive and thereby constantly caused good fortune wherever he went, which helped him gain the edge in combat.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    Corsac V5 09 00042 Corsac, without his hood Corsac is a dark-skinned man who wears his hair styled in a mohawk with shaved sides. He is a fox Faunus whose trait is a tail, and is noticeably taller than his brother.

    Corsac wears a red hood that functions partially as a cloak, made of two pieces held together by yellow buttons and string. He wears a black tunic with two sections extending farther down than the rest at his front, and a hole is cut out for his tail. Both the hood and tunic have white trimming. He also wears detached white sleeves, bound at the mid-bicep and the wrists. Black gloves serve that function and attach to his middle fingers. His white pants are pleated. He wears black open-toed sandals with fabric extending up to his knees.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Corsac is not too dissimilar from his brother personality-wise. He is a rather soft-spoken individual, but this belies the lengths he is willing to go to promote the White Fang's beliefs in what is best for the Faunus, which includes assassination. Unlike Fennec, Corsac appears more readily willing to follow Adam Taurus' leadership, despite acknowledging the questionable state of Adam's mental health. He acknowledges that Adam's leadership may not last very long, but believes it to be the best course of action for the time being. However, this was because he and his brother only saw Adam as a means to an end who had his faults and were willing to discard him if necessary.[2]

    Like Fennec, Corsac is shown to be manipulative, convincing Ilia Amitola that assassinating Ghira and Kali Belladonna is necessary, and that Ilia should use her former friendship with Blake Belladonna to help accomplish this.

    However, after his brother's death, being asked by Saber Rodentia if what he did was really worth it and Blake's rallying speech, Corsac starts to show regret, and to a degree, remorse towards his actions.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    Corsac and Fennec were leaders of the White Fang branch on Menagerie and were skilled in planning and manipulating. In "Alone Together", he and his brother showed leadership skills as they led the assault on the Belladonna Mansion.

    Corsac demonstrates his strength in "True Colors", engaging Ghira, a much larger and stronger opponent, in hand-to-hand combat. Weapon

    Main article: Cyclone and Inferno Corsac's weapon of choice was Cyclone and Inferno, which he and his brother wielded together. In "A Perfect Storm", it is shown that their weapons can be loaded with Dust. Corsac's is seen channeling Fire Dust, which can be combined with his brother's Wind Dust in a collaborative attack. Both weapons were destroyed when Fennec was killed.

    Trivia

    Allusion

    Corsac and his brother may allude to Tabaqi from The Jungle book. Tabaqi was a Jackal that fed on Scraps from Shere Khan and the wolves of the Seeonee pack. Color Naming Rule

    Corsac is named after a species of fox known as the Corsac Fox. The foxes are typically a sandy color, but can range from red to white. Story

    The Albains were planned pre-Volume 1 and were intended to be the original antagonists of the Volume before Roman Torchwick's role was expanded.[3] One of the revealed ideas was for them to use Grimm liquid during the Beacon Academy Initiation.[4] Character&Design

    Many Faunus have additional elements in their design that tie into their animal traits: Corsac and Fennec's hoods are in the shape of a fox snout.

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes

    The Curious Cat[1] was a creature residing in the Ever After that first appeared in "Rude, Red, and Royal". They traveled the realm and helped facilitate the ascension process by determining who required it. They served as the main antagonist of Volume 9.

    At first, they acted as a guide for Team RWBY, trying to help them reach the Great Tree. However, in "Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble", they revealed that they were only trying to wear down Ruby emotionally so they could possess her body and travel to Remnant, in order to find out why their makers, The Gods,[2] abandoned them. Though when Ruby ascends, they instead possessed Neopolitan's body, becoming known as NeoCat.[3]

    In "Of Solitude and Self", they were forced out of Neo and then defeated by Team RWBY in battle, before being devoured by clones of the Jabberwalker summoned by Neo.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    V9 Trailer 00017 The Curious Cat's normal form They were a purple glowing quadrupedal cat. They had cyan-colored eyes with white pupils and cyan markings on their face. Their torso was patterned with a cyan checkerboard pattern. Their legs and tail gradually turned into the same light blue color near their ends. They had white whiskers on their face, and purple digital pads on their paws.

    They were capable of growing three times as large, gaining a monochrome color scheme. Their main body became pure white, and their checkerboard patterning became pure black. Their sclera/irises turn black while their pupils turned white. The inside of their mouth turned red, as their teeth became sharp, long, and jagged. They also gained an anaglyph filter in this form, making them seem more unnatural.

    V9 09 00087 The Cat possessing Neo Upon possessing Neopolitan, they gained her form with a few minor differences. Her eyes became those of the Cat's in their normal form, with a light blue sclera and white pupils. Neo's teeth also became much more jagged and sharp. Later, her arms were replaced with large light blue claws, further showing the influence they had over her form.

    V9 10 00051 The "Furious Cat" After being ejected from Neo, the Cat grew much larger than their previous enlarged form, now looking much more intimidating. Maintaining the black and white color scheme, the "Furious Cat"[4] stood on their hind legs and had a much closer appearance to a lynx. Their claws grew very large and sharp, and rather than polygonal checkerboard patterning, they gained black stripes much more similar to other cats. Image Gallery

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    The Cat was very curious and asked questions about whatever they can. They at first exhibited a very mysterious, enigmatic and mischievous personality, and they took delight in speaking in various riddles and rhymes to confuse friend and foe alike. Unlike most of the other Afterans shown so far, who seem to be mostly content with staying in their own respective acres, the Curious Cat instead chose to wander freely across any and all of the acres and would explore wherever they please. The Cat later revealed that their curiosity-defined personality was apparently a fault in their nature that they're "cursed" with: they're driven to insatiably to seek new knowledge infinitely, and they couldn't stand not being able to find new answers. This curse, along with their inability to fix their own heart's mounting wariness via Ascension and trauma over their former companion Alyx's betrayal, twisted them into an extremely manipulative, bitter, and sadistic being with a strong disdain for humans, who became obsessed with escaping the Ever After to find out why their makers abandoned them.

    Befitting the Cat's curious core nature, when they're manipulating Team RWBY, they enjoyed listening to other people's stories and asked a wide range of questions, some of which were seemingly minor and inconsequential ("What happened to Ciel?") to very serious ones that nobody had any answers to ("How will you save Remnant now that Atlas is gone?"). However, the Cat also revealed that they maddeningly loathe repetition and routine stimuli which isn't new to them anymore, further fueling their need to escape their native realm and find new answers. They quip that they've grown "tired of [Jaune's] little sob story" after watching him refuse to move past his failures for decades, and they rant at Jaune that he's "just more fairy-tale nonsense" in the heat of battle.

    The Cat's modus operandi with both Alyx's party and Team RWBY was to approach and aid them as a companion, helping them to reach the Tree so that the Cat could ultimately leave for Remnant with them. The Cat was apparently honest with Alyx about their intention to leave for Remnant and struck up a bargain where she would aid them; but Alyx going back on the deal left the Cat disillusioned, convincing them that the natives of Remnant they interact with only ever want to use the Cat as a means to their own ends, and the Cat in turn treated them the same way. By the Cat's account, they were notably more deceptive with Team RWBY than they'd previously been with Alyx, hiding more of their true intentions from them, while subtly working to wear down Ruby's mental state so they could prey on Ruby's resulting fragility to forcibly possess her.

    The Cat was intelligent, cunning and willing to use underhanded techniques to gain the advantage; using Neo's Semblance to take on the appearance of a frightened Penny Polendina in battle when Jaune was about to stab them, triggering a PTSD attack in Jaune which prevented him from striking. The Cat's method of wearing down Ruby was to ask seemingly innocent questions regarding Ruby and her team's defeats and failures which were, in truth, subtle jabs meant to slowly whittle away Ruby's psyche and increase her guilt and self-loathing. Furthermore, this implied that Team RWBY’s encounter with the Herbalist, the Punderstorm and even the early stages of Ruby’s duel with Neo were, in truth, set up by them in order to carefully cause Ruby’s mental decline but, at the same time, ensuring that she did not go through Ascension.

    Alyx's "betrayal" was a sore spot for the Cat. The Cat before revealing their true colors turned solemn and depressed (to the point where their color scheme changes) when they vaguely recounted Alyx "betraying" them to Team RWBY. The Cat after revealing their true colors was spitting with rage when they recounted the event in further detail. The Cat displayed nothing but contempt and anger when describing Alyx's crisis of conscience that drove her to decide to atone for all the harm she'd caused through the Ever After, at the price of the Cat losing their chance to leave, highlighting how the Cat only looked out for themself.

    The Cat was also sadistic when the need for deception has disappeared. They gone out of their way to taunt Jaune about his past failures, and to project an illusion of Pyrrha Nikos - which smirks throughout the deed - to strike Jaune down in battle. They also tortured Ruby by digging their claws into her chest when she's at her breaking point, and they had no reservations against musing aloud on what they're going to do to Neo while the latter was just cognizant enough to react with horror.

    The Cat showed a desperate side in their maddening need to escape the Ever After and find new knowledge: they frantically cried out and panic when the Tree took Ruby before the Cat could possess her, and when the Cat reached the Tree's gate but found out that the host they've claimed can't go through, they spended an indeterminate length of time repeatedly throwing themselves into the portal only to get churned back out over and over again, crying out in anger and desperation all the while, until the heroes' arrival drawed the Cat's attention.

    As revealed in “Of Solitude and Self”, after being created by The Gods, the Cat during the early days of the Ever After had a much kinder and noble personality, as seen where they were initially very empathetic and caring towards their fellow Afterans and strived to help them when their hearts were broken and they lost their way. However their nature of being cursed with curiosity, alongside Alyx's small act of dishonesty (and, perhaps, the fact that their creators left them behind in the Ever After with no explanation) eventually caused the Cat to undergo such a dark change in their attitude.

    The Blacksmith suggested that if someone had been able to guide the Cat back to the tree for repair of their broken heart, then they wouldn't have gone insane. However, as that was the Cat's own job, there was no one to do it for them. It's also implied that they were fully aware of the fact that they were broken and in desperate need of Ascension but couldn't. This knowledge that they needed to be healed but unable to Ascend likely drove them even deeper into insanity and only made them even more dangerous.

    Furthermore, likely due to their past experience with Alyx and Jaune, the Cat had developed a low and spiteful opinion of humans in general. After being beaten by Team RWBY, they spitefully stated to Ruby that she was weak, broken, confused and incomplete like all humans in a failed attempt to break her by reminding Ruby of her failures. This opinion was likely due to Alyx's broken promise to them to take them to Remnant. That, combined with their feelings of abandonment by their creators, who left the Ever After to create new worlds such as Remnant and new creations such as Humanity, only increased the Cat’s hostility and resentment to humanity in general.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    The Curious Cat was a unique Afteran, proclaiming themselves different from the other Afterans. As revealed in "Of Solitude and Self", the Curious Cat was personally created by The Gods who would take their original role in finding broken hearts of others and ascend them, tasked as a guide to the Ever After in order to follow this purpose. They were also capable of combat with others upon utilizing either their possession of a host, or transformation into their Furious Cat form. With the former, they gained all the skills and even Semblance of their host, allowing them to combat multiple people which included Jaune, Weiss, Yang, and Blake.

    As the Furious Cat, while lacking their host's skill and Semblance, the Curious Cat showcased increased size, strength, agility, and immense durability. Capable of destroying Jaune's aura in one punch, and taking on several attacks on their body, including a point-blank bullet at their head from Ruby. Though there was a limit to how many hits they could take, as the combined attack of Team RWBY reverted them back to their base form and left them momentarily weakened.

    Kiersi Burkhart described them as an "incredibly powerful opponent" to face.[5]

    As a personal creation of the Gods, the Curious Cat was given several unique abilities and powers by them, which include:

    Healing: They had an ability to calm a person down by sharing a piece of their heart. They used this on the Red Prince to calm him down after he lost the game, and on the Herbalist after he used his mist on Team RWBY. This allowed the recipient to decide either to continue performing their role or seek a new one at the tree. Transportation: They had the ability to transport to any place they wished to go. They could do this in two ways: a quick burst of movement that resulted in them turning into purple and blue polygons as they travel, or in a bright flash of light that teleported them and nearby people to a completely different area. Upon possessing Neo, the former version of the ability was powered up by her Semblance, allowing them to travel at a faster rate. Invisibility: They were able to turn and remain invisible, and selectively make body parts visible, such as their eyes, mouth, and face markings. Body Separation: The upper and lower halves of their body could split off and reconnect easily, functioning independently of each other. Levitation: They could levitate in the air with great mobility. Purpose Alteration: They had ability to change the purpose of Afterans and give them new ones. The Afteran emits a cyan line flare eyes which was seen when they used it on Hawker. Emotion Colors: In “Confessions Within Cumulonimbus Clouds”: They could change the tone of their fur depending on their current moods. When they felt sad their fur patterns started to slightly fade away. Energy Blast: As shown when they saved Ruby from being attacked by Neopolitan, The Curious Cat had the power to fire powerful blasts of blue lightning from their mouth. In their “Furious Cat” form, the Cat showcased the ability to fire purple lightning from their mouth. Transformation: They showcased the ability to transform into a larger, more menacing form, turning black, magenta, and milky purple before finally settling into a large black and white form. Later exiting Neo’s body, the Cat transformed into a larger, more battle-oriented form of the "Furious Cat". Possession: They had the ability to possess and take over the bodies of another being, though they could only do so when the intended victim is sufficiently broken down and void of purpose. Overactive Imagination: After possessing Neo, the Curious Cat gained access to her abilities and fighting skills, one of which being her Semblance. They can combine her Semblance with their own power, having used it alongside their ability to travel fast distances to quickly get to the Tree after possessing Neo. Later during their brawl with Yang, Blake, Jaune and Weiss, the cat was shown to use it to manifest blue claws for combat. They also showcased creating clones of themselves to fight multiple battles all at the same time, shapeshift into Penny’s form in order to throw off Jaune, a clone of Pyrrha to ambush Jaune and conjure several distorted clones of Ruby to taunt Yang. Immunity to Ascension: As shown in "Of Solitude and Self", the Curious Cat was seemingly immune to being affected by the leaves of the Great Tree, with the Blacksmith confirming this and stating how there was no one to send the Cat to the tree to repair their own broken heart. Despite this, if possessing someone they could be affected due to the host, as seen when possessing Neo, with the cat later being unaffected by the smoke in their own body later after exiting hers. Whether or not their immunity was due to them being a unique creation of the Gods or due to the Cat being the one responsible for sending Afterans to the tree for ascension was unknown.

    Elm Ederne[4] is a member of the Ace-Ops Specialists, first introduced in "The Greatest Kingdom". Her weapon of choice is a hammer named Timber.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    1/2

    Elm is a tall, young, muscular woman with medium brown hair in a short ponytail, light brown skin, and brown eyes. She wears an Atlesian Specialist uniform that consists of an open white, one-sleeved crop jacket with dark blue accents, shoulder flaps and collar and a dark gray armor shirt. She has silver vambraces over her forearms. On her back, she has a magnet used to carry her weapon.

    She has a red belt around her white pants and goes barefoot save for some martial arts footwraps alongside dark blue calf plates that cover the tops of her feet, the plates have three red straps tied around them; the soles of her feet are appropriately dirty as a result. She also has a silver hoop earring on her right ear.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Elm is described by her voice actress, Dawn M. Bennett, as being a "big buff lady with a heart of gold", illustrating she has a very kind and good nature. She also shows to be a tough and loud person who is not afraid to let someone know what is on her mind.

    She appears to be somewhat overzealous, such as when she rushed to Ruby and stated how bad she felt not knowing who she was when her team arrested her and her friends, all while shaking the girl's hand with great force. She is stated to not have a filter.

    Elm, like other members of the Ace-Ops team, originally did not consider her teammates to be friends, laughing the idea off. Additionally, despite being fairly loud herself, Elm is confused by other over-the-top behavior of people such as Nora Valkyrie.

    Elm was originally intensely loyal to James Ironwood, not questioning any of his orders, citing she only needs to follow them. When Team RWBY reveals they told about the Amity Communications Tower to Robyn Hill, she is disheartened at their apparent betrayal and became hostile towards the four girls, deeming them traitors. This extends to the subsequent fight, where she disagreed with Vine's claim they won't be hurt if they surrender. She was, however, shocked after Yang stated that she and the other Ace-Ops were only 'following orders', before furiously shoving Blake aside to go after Yang, hinting to her hidden conflicted feelings on the matter.

    Despite everything, Elm was shown to be conflicted at having to fight Team RWBY, which was noted by Vine, who concluded that Elm was in truth reassuring herself she was making the right choice in trying to apprehend the girls. However, she became increasingly aggressive and violent as the fight progressed, and was willing to use brutal force against them due to Yang's taunts.

    Elm is said to be the pillar of her team, despite not being the leader like Clover Ebi.[5]

    Like the rest of her teammates, she originally was constantly repressing her true emotions. After Robyn Hill asks them in "Worthy" what was more important, the people or the land they lived on, she stops suppressing them when Harriet decides to bomb Mantle herself and manages to talk her out of doing it by telling her that they are friends. She is also saddened when she is forced to watch Vine sacrifice himself to save them from the bomb.

    ADVERTISEMENT Powers and Abilities

    Elm is a skilled fighter, being part of the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, the most elite group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Remnant. Elm is stated to be the second most skilled member of the Ace Operatives, surpassed on by Clover due to his Semblance bringing good luck to himself. She is noted as an excellent agent with a peerless track record.[6]

    Befitting her size and build, Elm possesses a high level of strength, able to swing her massive hammer with earth-shattering force. She has also proved to be powerful enough to throw massive Grimm, like a Megoliath, high into the air. Elm shows a restrained style when entering battle, along with the Ace-Ops, surprised by Team JNPR's headfirst approach. Weapon

    Main article: Timber Elm's weapon of choice is Timber, a massive hammer/rocket launcher hybrid, whose strength is enough to kill a pair of Megoliaths in one hit. Timber's recoil is powerful enough to the point where Elm needs to use her Semblance to not be blown away by the force exerted from it.

    Semblance

    Main article: Aura Roots Elm's Semblance, Aura Roots, allows her to plant herself in place, causing her to seemingly be unmovable for its duration, allowing for greater strength to be put in blows. Thanks to her Semblance, she is capable of holding the Frosted Petra Gigas Geist in its place by grabbing its leg and successfully stop a charging Megoliath in its tracks.

    Elm's Semblance also makes her perfect in using heavy artillery type weapons, due to the fact that she could easily root herself to the ground to prevent the weapons' immense recoil to fling her right off her feet. The obvious weakness of her Semblance is that it is dependent on the stability of the ground beneath her feet: in situations where the ground is unstable or broken, her Semblance becomes useless, if not detrimental due to instead latching on to broken pieces of stone, effectively putting weights on Elm's feet.

    Emerald-V6 She wears two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of strappy high-heeled pumps. She is stated to be in the age range of a Huntsman Academy student.

    Originally, her attire consisted of an intricate white top and an olive-colored crop top, on the back of which is her personal emblem. This emblem is in the shape of a cut gem, most likely referring to her name. This was intended to be accompanied by white shorts, decorated with what appears to be a gold coin-plated belt with four gold chains draping around her back from two of the coins and what seems to be a green loincloth.

    She also wore a gold, three-ring armband on her left arm and a string of gold beads near the same wrist. As of Volume 2, her outfit has changed somewhat. Her top has thinned, her crop top is now shallow-cut, and her armband and beads no longer seem to be made from gold. She also sports white cropped pants with brown chaps that attach to her brown belt.

    Prom

    For the dance, Emerald wears an olive-colored, halterneck, backless dress with a black sash around her waist, and matching heeled pumps.

    Haven Uniform

    Later, she is also seen wearing the Haven Academy uniform, a more conservative dark gray outfit with a long-sleeved collared top and white armband.

    Flashback

    In "Beginning of the End", Emerald was younger, noticeably thinner, and had her hair tied into a ponytail.

    Her previous attire was a short olive-colored crop top, and she wore her signature chaps which were torn and belt. Beneath her chaps, she wore dark green pants and plain dark brown flat shoes. She also wore white half-gloves.

    Atlas Outfit (Volumes 8–Present)

    Emerald-V8 In Volume 8, Emerald dons a new set of clothes. She now also wears a mint green crop top with off the shoulder pulled back sleeves beneath a cropped white quilted leather, double breasted biker jacket contrasted with black notch lapels with matching cuffs alongside her emblem on the back in black as well as a belt loop at the bottom of the jacket's hem. Completing her ensemble are matching white, skinny jeans and brown chaps that end at her thighs, they appear flared with a small open section with straps on the lower calves. The tops and bottoms of the chaps have a mint green trimming to them as well. She also wears a overlong belt, twice-wrapped, to which her chap straps connect to. She keeps her weapon holsters attached the back of the belts. She completes her outfit with a pair of brown ankle boots with metal toe plating. Her hair is also noticeably fuller and longer and her irises are wider. Emerald also wears a red gradient gem pendant around her neck and a beaded bracelet on her right wrist.

    Emerald initially appears to be affable and disarmingly friendly. However, this belies a darker side of her character. On the whole, she seems to be genuinely outgoing and quick-witted, if a little short-fused. She can also act a little childish or petty, such as when she stuck her tongue out at Roman Torchwick after she stole his lighter to mock him.

    In "Best Day Ever", when she talks to Tukson about books, she seems to be knowledgeable about books and enjoys reading, as she lists off several titles. She also likes Vale, complimenting the city for its "tall buildings and diverse culture".

    Emerald has a tendency to maintain a pretense of friendliness around people in order to gain their trust, doing so around Tukson before threatening and killing him. In "Round One", she states that she dislikes Team RWBY for their cheery and positive attitude, regardless of her acting as their friend for the time being.

    According to Emerald, her loyalty is exclusive to Cinder, rather than to Salem, and only complies to her plans and wishes due to owing Cinder "everything". Accordingly, she is willing to take the initiative to impress her, such as tracking down Tukson and killing him. When Cinder rebukes her for doing so, she defers to Cinder's judgment, quickly apologizing.

    Although she has no qualms about killing, judging from the nonchalant way she talked about killing Tukson and even lightheartedly joking about it afterward with Mercury, she does get a bit seems to be overwhelmed at the sheer scale of the destruction and violence being caused during the Fall of Beacon. Nevertheless, Emerald continues to demonstrate loyalty to Cinder, such as in the "The Next Step" in which she speaks for Cinder, who has lost her voice.

    Upon Cinder being supposedly killed during their failed mission to destroy Haven and retrieve the Relic of Knowledge and narrowly escaping punishment from Salem, Emerald showcased increased frustration in her situation. Her resolve is later shaken by Cinder's callous ingratitude toward her in "Midnight", and by overhearing Ozpin's revelation of Salem's plans to destroy Remnant in "War".

    In "Witch", Emerald and Hazel Rainart both decide to help Oscar Pine escape from Monstra, after confirming that he was telling the truth. She shows grief when Hazel is killed buying them time to escape Salem, as he was the only one besides Mercury or Cinder who showed any concern for her.

    In "Ultimatum", Emerald is unapologetic and sarcastic toward Yang's team, making no effort to defend herself for her actions and saying that she would prefer to go on her own way than go with them. However she later showed pity for the citizens of Atlas that were cowering in the subways, especially upon seeing children, and continued to walk with Yang, Oscar, Ren and Jaune even after Yang stopped holding her at gunpoint.

    In "Risk", Emerald joined Ruby's Group in an effort to save both the people of Mantle and Atlas, and begins to put her past dislike for them behind her. Powers and Abilities

    Emerald seems to be quite adept with her weapons, demonstrating skilled swordsmanship and marksmanship, demonstrating the ability to ensnare opponents in her chains and reel them in, even from a great distance, even bringing down Ruby despite the latter using her scythe's recoil for extra speed.

    Emerald is stated by Mercury to be a master thief, and she has proven that she is adept at pickpocketing, with one victim being Roman, stealing his lighter to show him that she was a capable thief after he mocked her. As seen in her fight with Coco Adel, her stealth abilities allow her to move silently and attack from an enemy's blind spot.

    Though she hasn't engaged anyone on extended close-quarters combat, in "The More the Merrier" and "Vault of the Spring Maiden" it is shown that she's strong and skilled enough to hold Ruby at bay and even temporarily knocked her out at one point (although Ruby was distracted at the time). Weapon

    Main article: Thief's Respite V2e12 blade telescope after Emerald's Thief's Respite Emerald's weapon of choice is Thief's Respite, a pair of dual-wielded pistols that can also be converted into a pair of kama, the blades of which can detach and be swung from chains as kusarigama.

    Semblance

    Main article: Hallucinations Emerald's Semblance, Hallucinations,[2] is individual mental hallucinations[3] - the ability to modify the sensory information in a person's head while their brain is processing it.

    Emerald's Semblance is the main reason Cinder first scouted her, having witnessed Emerald use her power to trick a jewel merchant, in order to steal one of his rings - the merchant just smiled at her, as she took the ring right before his eyes.

    What Amber sees, due to Emerald's Semblance What Amber sees, due to Emerald's Semblance What everyone else sees. What everyone else sees. Her Semblance is not limited to biological opponents, but can also affect mechanical ones. In "Amity", she is able to cause both Penny Polendina and Maria Calavera to experience visual illusions, despite the first being an android and the latter having cybernetic prosthetic eyes. However, she was unable to affect Penny's heat vision sensors, which she used to locate and defeat Cinder Fall. Emerald's Semblance also seems to limit her mobility, unlike Neopolitan's; she typically remains still or moves slowly and cautiously when conjuring hallucinations.

    In "War", Emerald's Semblance even extends towards Grimm, as she managed to make herself invisible from being detected by one of the Seers.

    As per "PvP", while Emerald's Semblance was originally limited to two people at her limit, she has expanded that number to at least three without tiring as showcased in "Witch". In "Haven's Fate" she managed to affect nine people with her Semblance simultaneously, though this put her under such strain that she lost consciousness. Her Semblance is also now powerful enough to affect Salem, who remarked on its usage.

    With the evolution of her Semblance, she can sense the minds of others within a certain radius of herself and if they were weak or strong.

    In "A Night Off", Fiona shows she's easily flustered by crowds, eagerly cheering them on. She appears to have a bright outlook on life, seeing Robyn's campaign in an optimistic view under the belief it will help Mantle get out of its situations.

    During the Battle of Atlas, Flynt dons the uniform of an Atlas Soldier, losing his signature hat and glasses.

    Personality

    Compared to the rather excitable nature of his teammate Neon Katt, Flynt exhibits a more serious, placid nature.

    He used to harbor some animosity towards Weiss due to the Schnee Dust Company forcing his father to close his own Dust shop. This is particularly apparent in his taunts towards Weiss, insulting her family and questioning her skill. However, when she risks her life to save Yang from his attack, he ends up respecting her determination and says that he "digs it."

    Weapon

    Main article: Flynt's Trumpet Flynt's weapon of choice is his Trumpet, showing that he is most likely a musician. With his trumpet, Flynt is able to not only restrict Yang and Weiss' movements purely through the sound waves it produces, but also boost the movement speed of his teammates. Likewise, he can use the sound waves to redirect attacks or hazards, as shown when he blew his trumpet on a fire pillar, guiding it towards Weiss like a tongue of flame. His trumpet contains Dust vials, which add several effects to his sound waves. However, other effects have yet to be displayed in the series.

    V7 05 00040 Flynt's "Killer Quartet" Semblance Flynt primarily battles at range while stationary, and he is never seen attacking in close quarters with the trumpet (though he does land a kick on Weiss after dodging her strike, indicating he may have some skills in hand-to-hand combat). Throughout the battle against Weiss and Yang, he seldom dodges or blocks his opponents' attacks during their duel. Despite this, he demonstrates surprising endurance and durability, absorbing all of Weiss' attacks with merely a stagger to indicate that they had registered. Additionally, he was able to withstand a pillar of flames engulfing him while still having enough Aura left to battle, whereas Weiss was completely depleted.

    He wears a sleeveless, muted orange zipper vest with black lining and a high collar, a pair of black jeans, and brown, laced shoes. His eyes are pure white, showing that he is physically blind. His arms are covered in scars, and he has a vertical scar on his lips.

    He also wears a pair of long black gloves and has several pouches attached to his belt.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    Fox is sarcastic and laid back in personality. Though he is reserved in new social situations, he is lively in familiar ones to the point where he considers himself the comedic relief of Team CFVY. He is comfortable enough on the subject of his own blindness to make jokes about it himself. Fox thinks of himself as a prankster; he has a tendency to make practical jokes and poke fun of his friends. He holds himself in high esteem and directs himself with confidence, having no qualms being blunt about people if need be. In battle, he often banters with opponents or plays around with Grimm or wildlife, dancing around mole crabs during his encounter with them in Vacuo.

    As a young boy, Fox's parents would treat him as though he were weak and helpless due to his blindness, which he resented. Oddly, the death of his family wasn't what affected Fox the most. It was that their deaths were meaningless and impersonal. After having grieved, a young Fox decided he'd protect people who couldn't protect themselves and that his death would have a purpose.

    Fox has exhibited a caring personality, consoling his teammate Velvet Scarlatina when Coco Adel and Yatsuhashi Daichi lose their Vytal Festival tournament match.

    However, Fox is not above torture, as seen when he uses Neptune Vasilias' hydrophobia against him to pressure Neptune into telling him things, even having been aware of the trauma Neptune had with water[4], and is stated to be a bad leader by Umber Gorgoneion.[5]

    Fox demonstrates considerable strength, speed, agility and reflexes in combat through his fighting style, which resembles Muay Thai (Thai Boxing).[6] He is capable of swiftly moving around the battlefield, delivering rapid punches and performing impressive flips.

    Fox appears to be able to create a form of a shockwave that is capable of exploding an entire Grimm body, similar to what Lie Ren does in "The Emerald Forest" by exploding the head of a King Taijitu.

    He displays strong control over Aura, being able to sense the quantity of Aura a person has and manipulate his Aura to orient and balance himself. Fox is also able to identify Auras[7], and even sense connections between them such as familial ties.[8] Weapon

Additionally, the system is set to adapt to the user of the device, and it contains a compass feature.

    Fria appeared to be a friendly woman, politely sharing a conversation with Winter Schnee, implying the two are on good terms. She enjoyed hot tea and painting, decorating part of her room with her art. Fria appeared to miss or have some nostalgia towards the outside world, solemnly asking how the weather is in Atlas.

    During her confrontation against Cinder, it was revealed that due to her old age, Fria has become senile, showing traits similar to Alzheimer's disease, rendering her to have patches in her memories, a difficult time remembering things, and keeping conscious track of time.

    However, despite her failing memories and frequent sense of confusion, Fria has displayed fierce loyalty and a strong sense of duty and dedication to her role as the Winter Maiden despite her failing health and fading memories. Despite knowing that she would die and her sense of time slowly fading, Fria still held on and remembered her duties to safeguard the power of the Winter Maiden and showed no fear at the prospect of dying as long as she knew her powers would be inherited by a proper successor who would continue on her duties for her.

    Winter noted that Fria had "fully realized" her powers as the Winter Maiden, showing that Fria had completely mastered her powers during her youth. She easily overpowered Cinder despite the latter being much younger and physically stronger than her. This is made even more impressive given the Fria was only acting on instinct and was near death due to old age, further highlighting just how much stronger a fully realized Maiden is.

    1201 Best Day Ever 18233 Glynda appears to be a middle-aged woman that has very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar.

    She wears a white long-sleeved, pleated blouse that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black fading into brown stockings.

    She wears black boots with bronze heels and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears to be an emblem of a tiara that is her personal symbol.

    When not in use, The Disciplinarian appears to be collapsed and attached to the top of her right boot. At one point she also wore a golden wristwatch.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    It seems that Glynda has a very stern and sharp personality - one that does not tolerate mischief or needlessly getting into dangerous situations. This is apparent when she berates Ruby for fighting Roman Torchwick and his group in the first episode. She does, however, admit that Ruby might have done the right thing, despite the fact that she put her own life and the lives of others in great danger. Glynda is mainly seen as cool and business-like; even her fighting is very systematic.

    Her stern behavior is not absolute, however. After cleaning up after the food fight, she sighs with weariness and takes Ozpin's advice to go easy on Teams RWBY and JNPR. Her concern at the moment reveals that she's driven by her desire to guide her students into being defenders of the world. Glynda also shows compassion toward James Ironwood on multiple occasions despite being vocal about her disapproval of him and some of his methods.

    Glynda is fond of her students, being particularly proud of Team CFVY. She shares Ozpin's ideals about what embodies the perfect Huntsman, and hates goodbyes.

She frequently uses her crop as an instrument to focus her Semblance.

The white toes of his black leather boots have a shape reminiscent of paws with claws at the tips. His physique is in general quite hairy, as what little can be seen of his bare arms and the backs of his wrists are shown to be covered in thick, black fur. He also possesses retractable panther claws in his fingertips.

    When preparing for his speech in "Unforeseen Complications", Ghira is seen wearing a pair of reading glasses with round lenses.

    He wears a black band on his right arm which likely his marriage to Kali as incorporating colors on clothes/person in some way is the most common way people express their bonds to others on Remnant.[2] Past

    He had a shorter beard during his days as High Leader. He wore an open dark violet vest with white fur trim that shows his chest. A pair of long, extended fingerless gloves reached his upper arms, and he wore beige pants and brown leather boots. In addition, he wore an original White Fang emblem pin attached to a few leather straps and shoulder pads.

    Ghira's great size contributes to his ability to be intimidating, which he utilizes from time to time. However, Ghira is good-hearted, clearly doting on his family and enjoying a good laugh.

    His brusque attitude can be both impulsive and controlled. When he gets angry with himself for forgetting a meeting, he pounds his fist on the table and needs to be soothed by his wife. When being given upsetting information, however, he merely uses words and expression to convey his seriousness. He can also be blunt, such as when he directly tells Sun Wukong that he does not like him.

    As noted by his wife, Ghira has difficulty opening up to others and showing emotional vulnerability, even to his family. Preferring to keep his emotions bottled up, even when something is bothering him or if he has a problem. As stated by Kali, Ghira has the preference of either ignoring his problems and emotions and avoids talking about it if he can. A tendency that his wife has stated he shares with his daughter Blake. Due to these tendencies, Ghira, like Blake, can be very awkward and shy when it is time to open up about his feelings and talk about them to others.

    Ghira is a seasoned leader, knowing when it is wise or advantageous to speak, but also knowing when it is better to let others to take the stage. This can be seen in permitting his daughter to speak on behalf of all Faunus to the entirety of Menagerie following the White Fang's assault on his home.

    Following the Battle of Haven, Ghira realizes that he isn't finished fighting against discrimination and decides to begin taking more responsibility again by rebuilding the White Fang into what it used to be.[3] Powers and Abilities

    Overall Abilities

    Ghira is fairly adept at hand-to-hand combat as shown in "Alone Together". Together with his guards, he is able to fight against the assault on his home. He is strong enough to throw White Fang soldiers about like ragdolls, take a fireball and wind blast from the Albain brothers point-blank without fatigue and when enraged, enters a berserker state of sorts. Though he does not typically wield a weapon, he is skilled at throwing spears; he pins Corsac Albain to a wall by the Faunus' hood.

    He also has good tolerance to pain as he was able to shrug off being stabbed deeply in the back.

    Leadership Skills

    Since he is the former leader of the White Fang and left to become the chieftain of the entire settlement on Menagerie, it is reasonably presumed that he has good leadership qualities. He also seems to be a skilled orator and is shown to be experienced at giving speeches in "Unforeseen Complications".

    Special Ability: Claws

    As a Panther-based Faunus, Ghira naturally possesses sharp retractable claws on all five of his fingers, as his Faunus trait, that he then primarily uses as his main weapon when fighting. As seen where he brought them out in order to battle the White Fang soldiers that attacked his home to make fast swipes and claw strikes with them.

    Trivia

    Allusion

    His first name alludes to Bagheera from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, which is all the more evident as his successor to the White Fang leadership, Sienna Khan, alludes to Shere Khan from the same story. घिरा (Anglicized as Ghira) is Hindi for "surrounded" while غير (Anglicized as Ghira) is Arabic for "Jealousy". But it could also mean "Change" or "Different". Color Naming Rule

    Bella donna means "fair lady" or "beautiful woman" in Italian, and is also the name of a toxic plant, commonly known as deadly nightshade. It also commonly bears purple bell-shaped flowers, which lends to his Aura color. Character & Design

    Apparently Ghira was given a beard that according to the art director, Patrick Rodriguez, was inspired by Father’s beard in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as a nod to the fact Kent Williams had voiced both characters. Beards were not possible to have for character models during the show’s first three volumes due to the limitations of Poser. As a result, a strict “no beards” policy was applied which saddened Kerry Shawcross at the time. Many Faunus have additional elements in their design that tie into their animal traits: Ghira has paw shaped tips on his boots. His beard, chest hair and hair on his hands could reference the fur of a panther.

    Overview History Relationships Image Gallery Quotes

    The God of Darkness is one of the two Gods who created Remnant and the younger brother of the God of Light.

    He initially resided in the Land of Darkness alongside his creations, the Creatures of Grimm. However, after Salem's failed rebellion, he instead chose to exterminate Humanity before departing the world with his brother, blasting through the moon and leaving it partially destroyed.

    In "Of Solitude and Self", it is revealed that he and his brother originated from the Great Tree in the Ever After, and shaped the realm into its current state by creating the Afterans and the different acres suited for them, before eventually leaving to create other worlds.

    Appearance

    In his humanoid form, the God of Darkness appears as a slim male with curved, segmented horns on his head that arc back and curve upward. His form is a deep purple that seems to draw in surrounding light. Like his brother, the Dark God's face is utterly devoid of features, though humanoid contours are present.

    In his draconic form, he appears as a large, real-world Western traditional, four-legged dragon with two wings whose membranes are frayed and dotted with multiple holes in them, and even more ornately spiraled horns. His overall body is skeletal, with a face like a skull with empty eye sockets, and a row of bone-like spines that run the length of his body.

    As shown in “Of Solitude and Self”, the younger form of the God of Darkness appeared as a purple lamb. As he grew in size, his form gradually became more and more draconic until he reached his current appearance. Personality

    The God of Darkness is a proud, unforgiving, and temperamental entity. When Salem led an army against him and his brother, he wiped them out without a second thought, showing that although he is attached to his creations, he will not hesitate to put them in their place. In spite of his pride, he is not above apologizing, such as when he retaliated against his brother for a perceived attack upon his authority within his own home. This instance of humility shows his more reasonable and diplomatic side.

    He seems to have more of a taste for the theatrical, in contrast to his much more straightforward brother. This is shown when they were both killing Ozma, the God of Darkness used a massive dragon breath while his brother simply waved his hand and made him disintegrate. Similarly, as they were leaving Remnant, the God of Light teleported away while the God of Darkness chose to fly away in a ball of energy, crashing through the moon in the process despite it being one of his past creations.

    He is somewhat jaded and cynical, basking in the pleas of Salem, who came to his domain in her quest to bring Ozma back to life. He graciously resurrected the hero twice against his brother's wishes. However, when made aware of Salem's manipulations, he killed the young man, showing his contempt for being controlled by others.

    In addition to this, he appears to be somewhat jealous of his elder brother and all of the positive attention that Humanity constantly gives him and has implied that he would also like to receive similar worship and faith. This simple sibling rivalry was likely the reason why he was so quick to agree with resurrecting Ozma for Salem, as he felt that she was the first person who wasn't afraid of him.

    He can be casually destructive; when he departed Remnant with his brother, his exit shattered the moon and caused massive devastation by way of a meteor shower.

    In spite of his darker nature and jealousy towards him, he is still loyal to his brother, coming to the God of Light's side during Salem's rebellion in order to defend him.

    He was also shown to be very caring and protective when it came to his own creations, the Creatures of Grimm. After his truce with his brother, the God of Darkness chose to live in the Land of Darkness among his own creations as opposed to anywhere else. When Salem arrives at his temple, a pack of Beowolves can be seen living peacefully in the main chambers. Later, after wiping out all Humans on the planet except for Salem, the God of Darkness notably leaves the Grimm alive.

    This genuine love for the Grimm may be a result of his previous creation, the Jabberwalker, which he would always resurrect every time his brother destroyed it due to his beliefs on balance. However, when the two created Remnant and his brother created abundant life on the planet, he responded by creating creatures with a desire for pure destruction and gave them forms similar to the Jabberwalker, as if to honor it.

    In "Of Solitude and Self", it revealed the origin of his feud with his brother. After creating the Jabberwalker, the God of Light believed that it disrupted the balance and wished to destroy it, while the God of Darkness did not think their creation should be punished for their mistakes, ironically reversing their positions as beings of creation and destruction. The two could not find a compromise; making them resent one another. Though this feud later seemingly came to an end when they created Humanity. Myth

    The Animal God

    In the Fairy Tales of The Shallow Sea and The Judgment of Faunus, The God of Animals is a shapeshifting Faunus deity appearing in creation myths of Remnant. However, the god's existence is questionable as to whether it is true, but they are described in The Shallow Sea as having ram horns when revealing themselves and having branching horns in The Judgement of Faunus, indicating they may be the Brothers in disguise.

    The Two Brothers

    The Two Brothers is a fairy tale detailing more information on the Brother Gods. As detailed in the story, in the beginning of time, a lone Dragon traveled the universe in search of other beings like himself. Overcome with loneliness, the Dragon decided to create one himself. Despite being all powerful, even the Dragon had to split its magic in half – into two symmetrical forms, one of light and the other of shadow. Each side thought they were the original and the other was the copy. Despite different personalities, they were ever only complete when they were together.

    The events of the fairy tale play out similarly to the Brother Gods' story from then, with the notable exclusion of Salem's role in their departure of the world and the fact that they become continents of Remnant rather than abandoning it.

    In "Of Solitude and Self", this tale was revealed to be untrue, as the Gods came into being simultaneously as two separate individuals.

    Powers and Abilities

    V6 03 00043 The God of Darkness shatters the moon as he departs Remnant While the majority of his abilities have yet to be laid bare, the God of Darkness is an unfathomably powerful being whose power transcends the mortal world. As a being of destruction, he is naturally attuned to its forces.

    He has the ability to shapeshift between a humanoid and draconic form, the power to create sentient life, recall a soul from the afterlife, teleport and unleash massive waves of magical energy. He is precise enough with it that only those he target are affected, such as when he vaporized an entire species on a global scale while leaving everything else untouched, or when he unleashed a torrent of energy to kill Ozma while leaving Salem unharmed despite her holding on to him. In addition, he can manipulate matter and energy to a great extent, such as creating a physical body for Ozma's soul that is identical to the one he originally possessed. He is also the one who bestowed Magic to Humanity.

    While in his dragon form, the God of Darkness possesses the power of flight, immense physical strength and the power to breathe a torrent of dark energy from his body. His physical powers are of such magnitude that he was capable of shattering the moon with no discernible care or effort.

    Before Remnant, he resided in the Ever After, where he and his brother created the Afterans and assigned them their purpose and roles. The two also created the Acres, each existing as their own self-contained realms and operating under their own set of rules. Eventually, they grew powerful enough to no longer be bound to their roles, creating the Curious Cat and Jabberwalker to replace them before departing the realm to a "greater beyond".
