RWBY/Recap/Trailers/P1 Red Trailer

A girl dressed like Little Red Riding Hood stands before a cenotaph in the snow, before turning around and trudging through a stand of woods, to the accompaniment of dreamy music and an angelic voice singing about four colors. When she exits the woods, she is confronted by a monstrous pack of slavering hybrid wolf-human creatures. As the music switches to something like classical Spanish guitar, she dismembers, decapitates and shoots nearly a hundred of them using a folding scythe that is also a gun. At the end she stands alone, unharmed, amidst a shower of spent shells.


 * Early Installment Weirdness:
 * The beowolves are a very early prototype for their variety of Grimm, and lack the white and red bony plates and spikes exhibited in the series. This was later Hand Waved by describing them as weaker, "young" beowolves.
 * Ruby's costume lacks her distinctive rose emblem; the large version hanging from her belt is a cross in the trailer.
 * Ruby herself seems very calm, cool and collected, at odds with the somewhat hyper personality she exhibits in the series.
 * A dead beowolf evaporates into rose petals rather than into a black mist.
 * Foreshadowing: Ruby decapitates a beowolf in exactly the same manner as she would later decapitate a giant Nevermore in V1E8.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: The beowolves are disturbingly humanoid.
 * Off with His Head: Ruby decapitates at least one beowolf on-screen.
 * Petal Power: Where Ruby goes, rose petals follow.
