• Door Stopper: The first volume completed at 426,000 words, with the grouping nevertheless in their kickoff week at Beacon. The "remastered" version of that volume, despite condensing some before moments, expands others and adds so many boosted scenes and capacity that information technology becomes even more of an example.
• Eating the Eye Candy: Oh, so much. Almost every chapter has at least a few instances of Team RWBY and/or Squad JNPR commenting on how bonny their teammates and friends are. With Yang being the biggest example of them all.

Something that looks human but isn't and would gladly impale everything in the city if Salem gives it the go-ahead. Even Cinder is terrified of this thing.
• Hypocrite: Blake, repeatedly and despite her best efforts. She keeps making snap judgements of people based on first impressions, expecting other people to respect beliefs she has and they may not and generally struggles to exist open up minded, honest and sincere in most of her dealings with people. All while demanding these from pretty much anybody she meets. To her credit, she does oftentimes notice her hypocrisy subsequently and tries to right the mistake.

• Last Het Romance: Cardin was Yang'south last swain, information technology's fifty-fifty hinted that at to the lowest degree some of why she focuses so exclusively on women despite still seeming to find guys attractive was, at least at first, a way to spite him for siccing his dog on Ruby.
• Locked Out of the Loop:
  • Past the fourth dimension initiation is over, Blake is the simply member of Squad RWBY who doesn't know almost Ruby's abilities, with Yang having grown upward with Cherry, and Weiss having been saved by Ruby's powers during initiation. She quickly figures out that Carmine's secret has to be something more grand than a uncomplicated eyesight result, however ^note with Ruby herself inadvertently making information technology clear to her, Team JNPR, and Team CFVY that it obviously isn't during the dinner party in the remastered version. She latches onto the thought that Ruby might exist a Faunus hiding distinctive optics in the original version, but admits to herself that such a reveal is only hopeful thinking that doesn't explain even half the stuff she's noticed. She somewhen gets fed upward about being kept in the nighttime and rips off Ruby's goggles in a fit of rage, ranting about how they should trust her... but for her to have the exact reaction to Ruby'south optics they've been worried about.
  • Information technology's also all just stated that Ozpin knows a good deal more than about Carmine's abilities than he lets on, and he has every intention of keeping it that mode, especially from Ruby herself.

  Expectations turned kittens into tigers, and he absolutely did not demand Miss Rose to know what she was.

• Loveable Sex Maniac: Yang is proud of this and her exploits.
• Magic Plumage: When Jaune is nervous about taking a test, Reddish gives him a red pencil she claims is lucky to boost his confidence. Jaune, having grown upward on a farm full of superstitious people, doesn't believe information technology for a 2d (fifty-fifty if he doesn't let it on to Ruby), simply appreciates the idea, especially since his entire tenure had been considering of luck, and it seems to help calm downward and focus, allowing him to pass.

• Pocket-size Royalty: Coco turns out to be the princess of Vale in this universe, though the royal family doesn't seem to still have much if any, real political power in the present, and Coco doesn't similar to make that big a deal out of it, though she was a bit brattier when she was younger earlier Ozpin helped set her straight and get her on the path to being a Huntress. Despite this, she'due south nonetheless had to deal with people trying to go shut to her for her status, who she deals with by interim like a jerk to see how people will react.

• 1-Man Army: Hunters, even only teenaged students, are all leagues higher up average citizens thanks to the furnishings of Aura. Lampshaded when a White Fang leader laments that in that location are only six dozen men on his side, against three teenage Hunters.

  "3 Hunters?"

  "Yeah, young ones besides."

  "There's but half-dozen dozen of us! What are we gonna exercise against three Hunters?"

  "Immature, former, doesn't matter you idiot, they have personal shields, twice our strength, and have super powers!

  • Ruby, when she loses control.
• Papa Wolf: Taiyang, of grade. Apparently, one of Yang's teachers in one case tried something inappropriate with her ("later-class tutoring") and ended up with four cleaved ribs at his hands. When Ruby asks Jaune to comment on her barrel, she has to tell her dad off from throttling her classmate.
• Partial Transformation: In the remastered version, Ruby demonstrates doing this with Grimm parts, summoning a Beowulf skull/head to protect her from a shot from Roman, or claws over her mitt to attack him with.
• Power Incontinence: Crimson has this in spades. While her Semblance can let her do a few other Grimm-related things, her principal skill is the power to summon any Grimm she wants. The catch? She can't control them at all, making them decumbent to assault fifty-fifty her as soon as they testify up. On the rare times that she does utilise this, she unremarkably limits it but to their limbs; specifically artillery for grabbing or blocking, and wings for flying. Function of the reason Ozpin lets her attend Beacon is that he hopes he and the other teachers can help her learn to control it.

  Oobleck: No...No no nonononono! Bad! Very bad girls! VERY VERY BAD!

• Reluctant Warrior: Ruby will fight humans if she really needs to, merely she is much more comfy fighting Grimm, to the point that her performance drastically suffers during a spar with Yang confronting Pyrrha and Ren.
• Revenge Before Reason: In the remake, Scarlet becomes so obsessed with killing Roman for what he did to her and Blake that she even fights Yang when she tries to stop her.
• Rousing Speech: Penny... attempts to give Ruby-red 1 of these during the search for Blake. It works, but not in the fashion she intended.

  Penny: Ruby. 1 must remember that the darkest night heralds the brighter dawn. Actions speak louder than words so nosotros must act rather than talk! Don't get your panties in a twist simply think this through! Tomorrow is a new twenty-four hour period, then keep your chin up gnaw!

  Blood-red: (bursts out laughing)

• Sacrificed Bones Skill for Awesome Training: As a event of Ruby'due south homeschooling, while her father and Qrow have made her a skilled combatant, she's a chip short on some other subjects, and doesn't even know how the digital keyboards in the classrooms at Beacon work.
• Secret-Keeper: Ruby's family, naturally, along with Ozpin and Goodwitch serve every bit this for Ruby's powers at the starting time of the story. The other Buoy teachers are made enlightened of her Semblance afterwards her enrollment. Weiss becomes aware when Ruby uses her abilities to relieve her a 2nd fourth dimension during initiation and rapidly decides to keep it hole-and-corner every bit well.
  • By the finish of volume ane, Blake, Team JNPR, Sun, and Penny are all in on the cloak-and-dagger likewise.

  • Blake herself has a lot of focus brought her legs and butt, with Ruby being distracted by onetime during her beginning meeting. And Ruby, Yang, and Weiss are utterly transfixed past her legs and her "Majesty", as Weiss puts it, in the changing rooms.

  Yang: "You know exactly who I'm talking nearly: niggling miss perfect butt on perfect legs with perfect pilus and that stone-cold glare that just says mrrroawr.

• Shout-Out: In one chapter, Ruby talks about some legendary Huntsmen and their Mentors, including Simba and his teacher Rafiki, and Seras who learned under the terrifying Vladimir.
  • The remastered story has Taiyang mention "some kid who could turn his torso into prophylactic and some other kid with red eyes and an insane amount of Semblance powers" when Yang asks well-nigh past students who got into Beacon early on.
  • The dinner that Teams RWBY and JNPR have with Team CFVY in the remastered version is catered by Chef Lumiere and Cogsworth.
  • Yang says that even the Tarrasque couldn't go along her from finding Ruby after her kidnapping.
• Shrinking Violet: Blood-red, big fourth dimension, due to the circumstances regarding her upbringing.
• Sinister Scythe: Crescent Rose, naturally. Notwithstanding, Cherry'south powers also permit pull a black scythe from the portals she uses to summon Grimm, described in-story as seeming non to reverberate calorie-free at all.
  • I affiliate as well does some Worldbuilding on why scythes have a reputation every bit sinister on Remnant. The fighting style that accompanies the weapon itself utilizes odd angles and unusual attacks make them both very difficult to defend against and equally difficult to principal, making for a very intimidating weapon in the right easily. The intimidation gene is only helped past the tendency for them to accept been the weapon of selection of many of the more... unheroic Huntsman over the years.
• Skilled, but Naïve:
  • Weiss is this, as in catechism, having never actually faced any actual Grimm earlier.
  • Cherry is too this, as Pyrrha notes at one signal. She'due south legitimately skilled with Crescent Rose, peculiarly when fighting Grimm, but she tends to hesitate before attacking too much when sparring, focuses on defending her teammates to the point that she leaves herself vulnerable, and sometimes is less than fully aware of the positioning of nearby walls. Later, she assumes that someone trying to sell her and Blake drugs was attempting to sell them Water ice Dust, and didn't realize it until Blake said that she was reasonably certain that he was a drug dealer.
• Socially Bad-mannered Hero: Ruby has information technology fifty-fifty worse than catechism (which is saying something) due to her Friendless Back Ground, constantly stuttering when speaking and apologizing at the drop of a hat.
• Something But They Would Say: Remembering that Yang'south memorizes a statistic on how many Huntresses are lesbians, Pyrrha uses it to determine if the Yang that she hears on the ship is an imposter or not.
• Special Issue Failure: In-Universe, the Sinister Scythe Cherry-red can summon with her powers doesn't seem to reflect light at all, and is described equally looking like rather sloppy special effects, possibly a jab to the background figures in catechism before things picked upward.
• Stating the Simple Solution: When talking to Blake after she fled Beacon due to seeing Ruby'southward optics, Sun points out that she could have told Crimson the truth almost her being a Faunus, trading secrets and working up to getting Ruddy willing to reveal the truth, and Blake tells him to shut up.
• Supernatural Fear Inducer: Reddish's eyes instantly cause this for whoever looks into them, causing extreme terror that makes the person either be frozen/run in fear or desire to harm/kill her in perceived self-defence. Hence why she constantly wears goggles. Only Red herself is immune to the effects, with not even Ozpin existence able to look direct at her. Even Yang and Tai, who have been around her with her goggles off long enough to be able to not freak out, all the same have trouble looking her in the eye. One of Medico Oobleck'south tests, when she enters the university, is to see if photographs of her eyes would be just as effective. In the original version of the story, they unfortunately are, while the remastered version makes photography the only safe way to look at them.
• Sugariness Polly Oliver: Yang helps Weiss disguise herself as a ruffian boy and then that she tin can become wings at a Faunus-run restaurant without cartoon unwanted attention.

• Taking You with Me: Horrified after hurting Yang in a rage, Ruby-red becomes determined to finsih Roman off before her head's on the chopping cake.
• Team Mom: Ruby might exist the leader and centre of the team, bringing the girls together and inspiring them to exist improve, but it is Yang who smooths over jagged conflicts of personality betwixt them and does her best to create a positive teamwork feel and comfy homelife in the dorm.
  • For JNPR, it is unquestionably Jaune. His earnest desire to assist and larn, his blase reaction to Pyrrha's fame and his insistance on treating his teammates like family he only hasn't seen for a while all conspired to pull his unrelated group together. While not stated directly, the story implies that between Jaune'due south experience in a big family and the overall less volatile temperment of information technology's members, JNPR get by with a lot less drama than RWBY virtually of the time.
• Thinking Upwards Portals: How Scarlet summons the Grimm. She can create ooze-similar portals like the ones seen in Salem'southward domain in canon. At one signal, Port tries to learn how they piece of work by sticking his arm in ane. The "remastered" version ups this past having Ruby become completely submerged in a portal during initiation, which temporarily turns her into a half-Grimm hybrid.
• This Explains So Much: Blake has this reaction towards Ruddy and Yang after finding out that they consider the Preparation from Hell Taiyang is putting their gym grade through normal.
• To Exist Lawful or Good: Penny's AI programs keep telling her to kill the rampaging Blood-red (lawful), but Penny refuses to impale her first friend and keeps overriding them, to the point that she makes them finish actualization (skilful).
