RWBY/YMMV

"And thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime."
 * Complete Monster: Salem is the Ultimate Big Bad of the series. Once a sympathetic character who merely wanted her lover Ozma back, she would willingly throw away her redeeming qualities out of selfishness and a refusal to learn from her mistakes, she would then begin an empire with Ozma, waging war against those that don't worship them, after Ozma left her she would battle him, killing their daughters in the process. For centuries she would kill thousands with the Grimm, and would have her forces commit Genocide on the Silver Eyed warriors. A master Chessmaster she would set up the Fall of Beacon, arranging for a Grimm attack on the Academy. Her ultimate goal to divide the world against each other and tear down human society, so she can rule over the remains.
 * Genius Bonus: In V3E1, as Emerald says her teammates are "socially awkward", we get a closeup on Mercury sniffing the inside of a boot from a vendor at the fairgrounds.  The implication is that he's a little weird, and that's how Team RWBY takes it.  But actually, the smell of the leather of which they're made is an indicator of the quality of a pair of boots, so Mercury is actually doing something appropriate if he's seriously considering buying them.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: Pyrrha says to Jaune in V2E7:


 * It's a sobering moment when you realize,.


 * The Scrappy: Cinder Fall. Sure, she's nightmarishly evil, but there are RWBY fans who want her to leave the show instead of simply getting her comeuppance. It doesn't help that she has what one would call a "power fetish", which isn't exactly uncommon among villains. Volume 6 has given her character development, but only to a small extent.
