==Summary==
Weiss Schnee is the second member of Team RWBY. Her weapon is a Dust revolver/rapier named Myrtenaster, and her Semblance allows her to create glyphs in battle. At 17 years of age, she is the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, a corporation famous for its sometimes shady business dealings, dangerous practices, and mistreatment of its Faunus laborers. Both the Schnee Dust Company and the Schnee family have been targets of the White Fang terrorist organization for years, leading to Weiss' inherent distrust of the Faunus. Weiss chose to become a Huntress over taking a job at SDC to restore her family's honor, as her father caused the company to decline. At the start of the show, she was shown as self-centered, standoffish, and an obnoxious know-it-all, but has matured somewhat throughout the show. She has a noticeable scar over her left eye, which she is assumed to have acquired in a fight against a living suit of armor in the 'White Trailer'. As of Volume 4, she is the former heiress of the Schnee Dust Company.

Scales to Post-Beacon Blake, who could damage the Sea Feilong), Multi-City Block level with Summons (She can summon her full Arma Gigas, which killed a Queen LancerVolume 5 Chapter 2 that tanked an explosion that was this powerful) | Multi-City Block level+ (Should be comparable to other members of JNPR and RWBY.

Durability: Large Building level (Survived a serious hit from Nora Valkyrie which sent her flying across the roomVolume 2 Chapter 1), higher with Aura (Aura functions as a forcefield with a cumulative durability, depicted as a 'health bar', and allows her to take dozens of hits from opponents as strong as herself without any significant injury) and Dust (Her Ice Dust is durable enough to restrain a Nevermore and Death Stalker) | Large Building level+, higher with Aura and Dust | Multi-City Block level+ (Comparable to Ruby), higher with Aura and Dust (Her Earth Dust was able to block a direct shot from the Atlesian Colossus' cannon) | Multi-City Block level+ (Survived attacks from the Ace-Ops), higher with Aura and Dust
Stamina: Superhuman (Capable of fighting Grimm for an entire day alongside the rest of Team RWBY, though her stamina is notably less compared to them. As seen after the fight with the Nevermore, when the other three girls showed no signs of fatigue, Weiss was exhausted. However, this may be attributed to the repeated use of her Semblance) | Superhuman (In Atlas, she and her team fought on and off for two days straight with minimal restRWBY Volume 8)
Range: Extended melee range. Hundreds of meters with Glyphs and Dust Manipulation.
Standard Equipment:
<tabber>
Intelligence: Gifted (As the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss was raised from youth to strive to be the best in all she did. As such, she took her time at Beacon more seriously than her teammates, taking notes even when the topic is not related to the knowledge she seeks. When in combat, Weiss remains calm and tactical, fighting with precision and coordination. As a testament to her skills, Weiss was listed as the top ranking of the sparring class during the events of the Vytal Festival. Weiss can move quickly and is creative on the battlefield, particularly with Ice Dust, although she is proficient in several different elements. She can use them both on their own and incorporate them into her Glyphs and can rapidly switch between several different elements in rapid succession without faltering. Weiss also mastered summoning in a relatively short time despite being completely unable to do so and believing she was incapable of doing so prior)
Weaknesses: She is usually stubborn and prideful on several occasions. Has not yet mastered her summoning. Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura. | Stronger summons such as the Arma Gigas take a few seconds to be fully summoned (Though she can summon parts of them instantly).

* Glyphs: Weiss' Semblance is Glyphs, which is the hereditary Semblance of the Schnee family. Her Glyphs have a variety of effects on objects, monsters, and people, but she often uses her Glyphs for propulsion, as they can control motion, with the basic Glyph type exerting push forces on other objects and acting as a solid surface.
**Glyphs+: Thanks to her training under Winter in Atlas, Weiss' Semblance evolved further. Alongside her other Glyph abilities, using her enhanced Semblance, Weiss can now cause the Dust Glyphs she creates to shatter into a flurry of Dust-infused shards that damage those around it. In addition, Weiss' is able to utilize her Dust much more efficiently, with each Glyph using half as much Dust as it used to.
** Default Glyphs: Weiss' default Glyph allows her to create a seemingly solid force, allowing Weiss to push whatever is within their influence. This Glyph usually appears white or pale blue. Weiss can stand on this Glyph, using it as a platform for various acrobatic movements, including breaking a free-fall and quickly reversing her motion by kicking off of it mid-air, as well as instantly amplifying the speed of objects both through the air and over surfaces. She can also use this Glyph to create a barrier. When directly channeled through Myrtenaster, the white setting instead creates what can best be described as a 'finishing move', causing enormous damage to foes. When used on the Arma Gigas, it appeared to disintegrate into ice shards after being hit with this move.
** Dust Glyphs: Using Myrtenaster, Weiss can modify her Glyphs to give them added effects. Weiss is also able to confer these enhancements upon other people.
*** Ice: Weiss can utilize her Glyphs to manipulate what shape her ice will take. She can launch towards a foe using a circling motion of Myrtenaster's blade, send out a wave or field of ice from the blade to trap or immobilizing a foe, augment projectile attacks so that they explode into ice crystals on impact, create large barriers of ice, ice daggers, giant ice swords, and can even use her Glyphs to manipulate ice in her surroundings. As of Volume 6, Weiss can use ice Glyphs directly on her opponent, using them to freeze their body itself so thoroughly that attacking it causes them to physically shatter.
**** Pierce: Weiss uses a glyph to propel herself forward, freezing the enemy on contact as well as any in the immediate area.
*** Gravity: A black Glyph with several different properties. Gravity Glyphs demonstrate a pulling property, and when used on a solid surface it allows Weiss or anyone on it to stick to it and not fall off, even if that surface is vertical or even upside-down. When used in mid-air, this Glyph can amplify the speed anything sent through it so it moves several times faster than its initial velocity. Weiss can also combine this Glyph with her default Glyph to create a mid-air platform that she can stand on at any angle, and can manipulate to change her trajectory instantly to the point that so much as touching the glyph with her finger will propel her in the opposite direction. Gravity Glyphs can also be used offensively to create a low or anti-gravity field to make enemies float in midair and allows Weiss to throw them around while they are in said field, as well as create Glyphs in front of her to repel opponents and underneath the opponent to launch them into the air. Weiss can also augment her physical attacks with this Glyph, allowing her to deal increased damage with her slashes, as well as trap enemies inside of a Glyph to restrain them.
*** Hard Light: When combined with her Glyphs, Weiss can create numerous light blue glyphs that fire energy projectiles that curve through the air and strike her opponent as well as create restraints to suspend her foe in midair.
*** Time Dilation: Weiss can utilize her Glyphs in conjunction with Lightning Dust to create a time dilation field, which speeds up the user's actions.
** Summoning Glyphs: A Glyph unique to the Schnee family, Weiss can summon avatars of the foes that she has defeated in combat and bring them to fight for their side. She has shown to be proficient enough to be able to summon creatures such as a Boarbatusk and the Arma Gigas. She can also cause her summons to teleport and use her glyphs as surfaces to jump off, as demonstrated in "Dread in the Air". She is capable of manipulating the size of her summons, as seen in "Unforeseen Complications".
