Breeder shirt 1 (Yang Xiao Long).

Age: 20

Yang Xiao Long is one of the four titular main protagonists of RWBY. She is a Huntress, having been trained at the now-defunct Beacon Academy. Her weapons of choice are a pair of Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets, Ember Celica.

She made her first appearance in the "Yellow" Trailer, searching for clues regarding the whereabouts of her mother, Raven Branwen, who left her when she was a child. From Volume 1, Yang became a member of Team RWBY alongside her younger half-sister Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna.

History: Yang is the daughter of Raven Branwen and Taiyang Xiao Long, and was born approximately two years before her younger half-sister, Ruby Rose. Ruby mentions that Yang used to read bedtime stories to her when they were young.

Yang was raised alongside Ruby on the island of Patch, off the west coast of Vale. Their father, Taiyang Xiao Long, was a Huntsman who taught at Signal Academy and a former member of a team consisting of Summer Rose, Qrow Branwen, and Raven Branwen - the last of whom disappeared shortly after her birth. Following this, Yang's father became romantically involved with Summer, who took the role of Yang's surrogate mother and gave her a sister two years later: Ruby.

However, Summer would frequently embark on Huntress missions all over the Kingdoms and, early in Yang's childhood, she was killed during one. Yang's father, distraught at losing yet another love, suffered an emotional breakdown. It was then that Yang found out Summer Rose was not her biological mother, and that the woman who gave birth to her, Raven Branwen, had also abandoned her shortly thereafter. Motivated to find out why her mother left her, one day, Yang attempted to follow up on what she thought was a clue to her whereabouts and waited until her father left the house and traveled to the location herself, wheeling Ruby in a wagon and walking until she was bruised and tired.

Upon arriving at the building, Yang and Ruby were attacked and almost killed by three Beowolves. Their uncle, Qrow, thankfully, appeared just in time to save them. Yang was ashamed of her stubborn, brash actions, aware that she had almost gotten her younger sister killed, and resolved to continue searching for her mother while helping to raise Ruby, but also to not allow that search to consume her.

-Welcome to Beacon Yang is first seen greeting Ruby on the airship to Beacon Academy, displaying her excitement that her "little sis" will be attending the same school as her. She teases and then consoles Ruby when the latter displays her nervousness, and even unhappiness, that she might be treated as someone "special" at their new school.

Yang shows concern for Ruby's apparent lack of social skills and manages to create an opportunity to let Ruby learn on her own by dashing off with her friends, leaving Ruby alone (who later falls down on Weiss Schnee's luggage).

Yang reappears inside the auditorium of Beacon Academy where the students have gathered and waves Ruby over beside her. She asks Ruby about her day so far, who responds by recounting the trouble she got into involving Weiss and Blake Belladonna. Yang, at first, thinks Ruby is joking, but realizes her little sister is telling the truth when Weiss comes up and starts berating Ruby again.

She tries to play the easygoing mediator between the two, but with no success. Their heated conversation is interrupted when Professor Ozpin starts with his welcoming speech, and Yang shows some vague exasperation when Ozpin mentions that they are still nothing compared to the world they will enter. She mentions directly afterward that Ozpin seemed "kind of off".

Later, when all the new students are preparing to go to sleep, Yang crashes next to Ruby and asks her about the letter she is writing. The two have a conversation where Ruby, once again, brings up her unhappiness at having to join the school without knowing anyone, but Yang tells her that there are plenty of friends at Beacon whom Ruby has just not met yet, after teasing her about Weiss being an enemy rather than a "negative friend".

Yang drags Ruby over to where Blake is reading a book and attempts to engage the two in a conversation. At first, Blake's aloof, unsocial character causes the conversation to die multiple times and Ruby and Yang awkwardly try to pick it back up every time it happens, but after Yang proclaims that Blake is a "lost cause", Ruby inquires about the book Blake is reading, which starts what appears to be a genuine exchange between the two.

However, Yang butts in and tells Ruby about how she is proud of her for starting a conversation and expressing her dreams to be a protector of the peaceful world they live in so other people may enjoy it. Yang then picks Ruby up, which annoys the latter and causes a brief fight between the two, until Weiss storms up and interrupts them again.

-Family:

Taiyang Xiao Long (Father): A hunter and teacher, he raised Yang and Ruby on Patch Island.

Raven Branwen (Mother): The leader of the Branwen tribe who abandoned Yang at birth.

Ruby Rose (Half-sister): Yang's younger half-sister, with whom he has a very close bond.

Summer Rose (Stepmother): Taiyang's second wife, who was a vital maternal figure until her disappearance.

Qrow Branwen (Uncle): Raven's brother, close to the family.

Relationships:

Ruby Rose: Ruby is Yang's younger half-sister, schoolmate, teammate, and leader. Yang shows high levels of appreciation and affection for Ruby.

Weiss Schenee: Weiss is Yang's schoolmate and teammate. After an incident with Ruby involving Dust, Weiss returned to her to read a Dust usage pamphlet. In an attempt to be friendly, Yang asked the two to try to make up, with less-than-stellar results. Later in the dorms, Weiss, complaining about the lack of sleep, came over to Ruby, Yang, and Blake, only to have an argument ensue.

Despite their hostility, the tension between the two seemed to have ceased by the time of the festival. Regardless, Yang strongly opposes Weiss on her comments regarding how a White Fang and Faunus are the same.

The two seem to be on entirely friendly terms by "Welcome to Beacon", with Yang feeling comfortable enough to put her hand on Weiss's shoulder and Weiss not being outwardly annoyed by this. Yang also offers Weiss advice on how to correctly play Remnant: The Game, even leading her to the brink of victory.

Blake Belladonna: Blake is Yang's teammate and academy partner. The night before the Beacon Academy Initiation, they meet when Yang drags Ruby over to her in order to help Ruby make some more friends - Ruby and Blake having been vaguely acquainted. The conversation becomes awkward and Yang thinks they should leave, but Ruby manages to connect with Blake's interest in reading.

-Semblance: Burn.

Yang's Semblance 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.

Yang has the ability to absorb energy from the damage she has taken, and redirect it twice as hard at her opponent, effectively making her stronger with each hit she takes. She can save up the energy to use later for an even more devastating attack. When using her Semblance, she draws power from her hair.

Her Semblance does not make her invincible, as she still loses Aura when she is hit and can still take damage when her Semblance and Aura are active if hit by a strong enough attack

As a side effect of her Semblance, Yang's eyes change color from lilac to red and her hair glows bright yellow with a fire-like effect.

Yang's Semblance does not make her angry, but anger has sometimes led her to impulsively activate it.

-Places in history:

Vale: Vale was one of the Kingdoms of Remnant, located to the east of Vacuo on the continent of Sanus.

Like the other three Kingdoms, Vale was governed by a ruling council to represent and see to its people's needs.

The notable locations of the Kingdom included its capital, Vale; and the island of Patch. Vale was located on the northeastern end of Remnant's largest continent, Sanus. It was bordered to the northwest by shallow waters and to the southeast by steep mountains. These geographic features made Vale a place of relative safety.

The Vale region was known to contain the city of Vale and several coastal cities, as well as Patch, a small island to the west. Beacon Academy, one of the four main Huntsman Academies of Remnant, was located in the city of Vale, while Signal Academy is located on the island of Patch.

An attempt to expand the reach of the region to the southeast resulted in the ill-fated extension, Mountain Glenn. Other areas of interest included the Forever Fall Forest and the Emerald Forest. The island of Vytal is situated to the north of the Kingdom. Merlot's Island was used by Dr. Merlot to help him continue his experiments after he caused the destruction of Mountain Glenn.

City: Vale was a large city on the western coast of the former Kingdom of Vale. It was the location of Beacon Academy, one of the four Huntsmen Academies of Remnant.

Vale had a large port area where passenger and cargo ships dock, including international ships from Vacuo and Atlas. The cargo docks included large-scale container-handling facilities, indicating that the port handled large quantities of goods regularly.

To the southeast lay a mountainous and uninhabited area, but it was also known to contain the ruins of Mountain Glenn, a failed attempt by the Kingdom to extend the city's borders. The location was overrun by Grimm and had to be fenced off from the rest of the city.

The city's leadership was its council and manager. Former City Manager Jimmy Vanille was pressured to be under the employ of the Xiong Family to control Dust shipments before his passing. The Xiong Family was the most powerful organization in Vale, with even the city's police force under their payroll, before Vanille's demise and Roman Torchwick's rise to criminal power.

-Beacon Academy:

Beacon lies along the east edge of the city of Vale and has a wide river that runs through part of it. Vale Airships were used to transport new students to the academy.

A port is seen at the bottom of the cliffs next to Beacon Academy, implying that naval transportation was also possible.

Beacon's boundaries appear to extend rather far, including the large Emerald Forest and some surrounding terrain, such as the Beacon Cliff. The academy also held field trips in areas such as the Forever Fall Forest.

Beacon Academy is the Huntsman Academy of the Kingdom of Vale. The Academy trained teams of Huntsmen and Huntresses to slay the various monsters that plague Remnant. It was overrun following an assault on the Academy led by Cinder Fall in conjunction with Grimm and White Fang. Prior to its fall, the Headmaster of Beacon was Professor Ozpin.

Beacon Academy is a residential or boarding-type school, with its students residing in dormitories on the campus. The school seemed to provide all living facilities, including hygiene, food, and laundry. However, students were not restricted to the campus outside of lessons and frequently spent their weekends in Vale.

In order to be accepted into Beacon, students typically went to combat schools, such as Signal Academy, in order to prepare for the Academy's rigorous entrance exam. Some candidates, like Ruby Rose, may be invited to the school after showing exceptional skill. However, attending previous combat schools does not seem to be a prerequisite, as some entrants were talented enough to pass the exam without transcripts, such as Blake Belladonna. Students were generally admitted at around age 17, although Ruby was one exception, being admitted at age 15.

In the lead-up to the Vytal Festival, Beacon also participated in an exchange program with the academies of the other three kingdoms of Atlas (Atlas Academy), Vacuo (Shade Academy) and Mistral (Haven Academy). Exchange students participated in some activities, such as sparring matches, and attended events such as the Beacon Dance.

-Dress Code: For boys, the Beacon Academy uniform consisted of black suits lined with gold, accompanied by a blue vest and a white shirt with a red tie. Girls wore a red plaid skirt, stockings of various length, and a brown jacket with a tan vest and white shirt with a red ribbon tied at the collar.

Students were given the freedom to customize their attire, as Ruby also wore her hood with her uniform. The dress code did not seem to be upheld very strictly, as students were often seen in casual attire during classes, assemblies, and field trips. Students tended to avoid wearing their uniforms during combat practice.
