This is the character sheet for ''[[RWBY]]''. Unless otherwise noted, ''every single one of these people'' is a [[Badass]].
Line 166:
* [[Nom De Mom]]: She uses her mother's last name, unlike her older sister.
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: Starting in Volume 4 she seems to have leveraged her [[Super Speed]] and [[Recoil Boost]] into something that is ''almost'' but not quite true flight, including outrageously long hang times and hurtling like a comet at her opponents. (But see ''Flight'', above.)
* [[Pals with Jesus]]: At the end of V9, Ruby finds herself on surprisingly casual terms with {{spoiler|a being who appears to be the creator god(dess) responsible for the existence of the brother gods who created Remnant; and said creator seems to regard Ruby with sibling-like or parental affection}}.
* [[Petal Power]]: Ruby seems to emit showers of rose petals -- and a [[Dramatic Wind]] to carry them -- just by moving. And sometimes by standing still.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Judging by the heights of other characters, Ruby can't be any taller than about 5'2".
Line 208 ⟶ 209:
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: A large part of her motivation for being a Huntress ''and'' going to Beacon, and she only doubles down on it at the end of V4.
* [[Elemental Eye Colors]]: Blue eyes for the Ice Queen.
* [[Filing Their Nails]]: When Jaune's attempt to catch a falling Weiss in [[RWBY/Recap/V01/E08 Players and Pieces|V1E8]] results in ''both'' of them plunging to the ground, she lands on his back and sarcastically says, "my hero" while studying her nails.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Weiss's [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished|surprisingly subtle facial scar]] -- acquired during the events of the "White" trailer -- is definitely a "good scar".
* [[Human Hummingbird]]: Weiss does this at least once, early in Volume 1.
Line 230 ⟶ 232:
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Mellows considerably with [[Character Development]].
* [[Royal Rapier]]
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Despite the
* [[Singing Voice Dissonance]]: Downplayed. Since Weiss is the only one in the group that sings (on-screen at least), naturally Casey Lee Williams takes her singing voice. Casey can sound like Weiss on occasion (particularly when she's vocalizing) but it's still very obvious the voice isn't Kara Eberle's.
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: As demonstrated in her [[Character Development]] between V1 and V5.
* [[Summon Magic]]: A family trait that she initially was unable to use; she finally displays some ability with it by the end of V3, and after considerable effort in V4 has clearly mastered it.
Line 243 ⟶ 246:
=====Blake Belladonna=====
[[File:Blake ProfilePic Normal.png|framed|Blake, V1-3]]
[[File:RWBY Blake V4.png|frame|
::'''Voiced by: Arryn Zech'''
::'''Based on: Beauty of ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'''
Line 272 ⟶ 275:
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Expressive Ears]]: Although they're first seen behaving that way in V4, after the switch in animation engines. Flashbacks made after the switch -- such as that seen in the pre-V6 Adam short -- show that they were just as expressive ''before'' V4, we just didn't see it.
* [[Hereditary Hairstyle]]: Her latest haircut (as of V9) looks very similar to her mother's hair.
* [[Important Hair Accessory]]: Her bow. When she discards it entirely at the beginning of V4, it indicates the growth of her character.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Strongly hinted at with Yang.
Line 277 ⟶ 281:
* [[Mafia Princess]]: She tells Sun she was "born to [the White Fang]" and she is the former partner and love interest of a mid-level ''leader'' of the White Fang. And in V4E5 we learn that {{spoiler|she is the daughter of the original leader/founder of the White Fang, who stepped down five years before the start of the show}}.
* [[My Instincts Are Showing]]: She has demonstrated a few catlike behaviors in V2, such as following the dot of a laser pointer and reacting with hostility to dogs. Her reaction to a bowl of fish in V3E1 is also very catlike.
* [[Official Couple]]: After seasons of Ship Tease, she and Yang finally share their feelings towards each other and kiss.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Her bow in V1-3. Even as early as her first appearance as a ''silhouette'' at the end of the "Red" Trailer people were going "cat ears!" The bow's ability to completely hide her ears (which in V4+ animation ''aren't even in the same place on her head as the bow was'') is completely inexplicable.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Second only to Weiss. Averted as of V6.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Judging by events in both V2 and V3, she and Yang appear to have one. No longer a friendship as of V9.
* [[Sheath Strike]]
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: At the start of V4, in the wake of the fall of Beacon; in her case, it manifests as mild paranoia and jumpiness. She gets over it by the end of V5.
* [[Speed Echoes]]: In the first three volumes, her semblance manifested as Speed Echoes which could take a combat hit for her, and unlike most such echoes looked solid and the same color as her. These echoes were initially stationary, but by V4 became able to move on their own.
* [[Stock Animal Diet]]: Has been seen to gorge herself on fish; when her faunus nature was revealed at the end of V1, Ruby
* [[The Stoic]]: In V1. By V3, though, she has opened up considerably and is very expressive. Unfortunately, the events of the last two episodes of V3 initially undid all that growth, and it took the events of V4 and V5 to restore it to her.
* [[Super Speed]]: And she leaves afterimages in her wake.
Line 380 ⟶ 385:
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: Appears to be subverted with Jaune. He used falsified transcripts to get into Beacon because he felt so strongly the need to live up to his family history, but despite his self-doubts he ''does'' appear to be Beacon material.
** {{spoiler|Given that according to Ozpin in V2E2 all Beacon applicants have to pass a rigorous test to get in, it's pretty clear that Jaune has everything it takes except the formal training (and confidence) -- which means he got into Beacon entirely on ''raw talent and potential''.}}
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: According to Miles Luna, the reason Jaune has
* [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: Inverted -- several of the (much more skilled) girls around him advise him and/or take him under their wing when he arrives at Beacon Academy.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Rare male example.
* {{spoiler|[[Healing Hands]]: One manifestation of Jaune's Semblance (the ability to transfer Aura to others), which he finally discovered in V5E11.}}
* [[Incompletely Trained]]: Almost completely ''un''trained, in fact, at the start of the series -- but Pyrrha (and later, time and experience) eventually
* [[Jeanne D'Archetype]]: Extremely rare male example of the trope, but he's got it -- protected by women who like him under [[The Dulcinea Effect]], making him a [[Magnetic Hero]], and a natural leader. Oh, and the name. Also, his white and gold breastplate and shield are a deliberate echo of Jeanne d'Arc's “harnois blanc” ("white armor"), which when polished shone like the sun.
* [[Legacy Hero]]: Carries his grandfather's weapon from the great war, and implies that his parents are huntsmen.
* [[Magic Feather]]: Late in Volume 1, Pyrrha gives him a little unseen help in a battle with an ursa, the defeat of which allows him to really believe for the first time that he deserves to be at Beacon.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Doesn't seem to notice Pyrrha's crush on him, though he does consider her a close friend. At least until about halfway through Volume 2, when he finds out directly from Pyrrha that she likes him.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Subsequent to Volume 9. In V9, it's revealed that thanks to a little accidental [[Time Travel]], he's spent several decades in the Everafter -- long enough to get white streaks in his hair -- waiting for Team RWBY to arrive. At the end of V9, though, the Blacksmith restores his physical age to that which it was when he entered the Everafter.
* [[Outnumbered Sibling]]: Has seven sisters, one of whom we meet in V6.
* [[Pop Culture Isolation]]: He gives the impression of having grown up relatively isolated from a lot of Remnant's pop culture and/or media.
* [[Socially Awkward Hero]]: But he seems to grow out of it.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: With a little help from Pyrrha, he gains enough confidence in himself at the end of V1 to actually realize he can be a good fighter. He continues to take levels in Badass in subsequent volumes, including quite a few off-screen during V9.
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Pyrrha quickly realizes he has a lot of potential, he just doesn't know how to focus it properly.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Wears a dress at a formal ball because of a promise he made, and manages to look not too bad in it.
Line 415 ⟶ 422:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Even more than Ruby -- Ruby can at least stand still for extended periods of time. Nora, however... On the director's commentary for Volume 1, it's stated that the half-joking idea behind Nora and Lie Ren is that they share a single pool of energy between them, and Nora ''hogs it all''.
* [[Grenade Launcher]]: Nora's weapon is one of these, when it isn't a [[Drop the Hammer|warhammer]]. With hearts on it.
* [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot]]: Thoroughly subverts by doing ''both''.
* [[Heart Symbol]]: Nora, all over. Literally -- from her weapon to the cutout on her decolletage.
* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]
Line 597 ⟶ 605:
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Acrofatic]]: For a guy who's seven feet tall, heavily muscled, carrying a five-foot-long sword and wearing armor, he is surprisingly agile and acrobatic, tumbling, dodging and leaping like [[Spider-Man]].
* [[
* [[The Big Guy]]: At seven feet tall even, he's the largest person in ''RWBY''.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Depending on the kanji, "daichi" can mean "great" or "large" in Japanese.
Line 650 ⟶ 658:
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
* [[
* [[Motif]]: Sage seems to have a clock motif -- his sword has half a clock face (with Roman numerals) inscribed on the blade just above the hilt, and he has a repeating pattern of the Roman numerals "V" and "I" tattooed on his neck.
** [[Feather Motif]]: He also has green wings emblazoning the back of his longcoat, and wing tattoos on his chest.
Line 1,035 ⟶ 1,043:
* [[Ancient Tradition]]: {{spoiler|Member of a nameless organization which has supported the Four Maidens through the centuries, and is responsible for their history becoming [[Shrouded in Myth]].}}
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Maybe, with Winter Schnee. It's hard to say this early.
* [[
* [[Cool Uncle]]: To Ruby and Yang.
* [[Drunken Master]]: Appears to be the case.
Line 1,047 ⟶ 1,055:
* [[Perma-Stubble]]
* [[Quick Nip]]: Especially during the scene in Ozpin's office in V3E3.
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: His as-yet unnamed weapon has a rarely-seen scythe form in addition to its [[
* [[Super Strength]]: He can hold out his arm with Ruby all but performing acrobatics on it, without showing any signs of exertion or strain.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The [[Stinger]] to Volume 3 and the opening credits to Volume 4 both suggested that Qrow can turn into a crow, but it was confirmed in V4E6.
Line 1,108 ⟶ 1,116:
::'''Voiced by: Derek Mears (Corsac) and Mike McFarland (Fennec)'''
::'''Based on: Unknown'''
::{{spoiler|'''Fennec is killed during an assassination attempt on the Belladonna family late in V5.
This pair of brothers are the representatives of White Fang stationed in Menagerie as of Volume 4.
Line 1,473 ⟶ 1,481:
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Miltia's preferred weapon are a set of double claws the length of her forearms.
