Yang Xiao Long

Portrait of Yang Xiao Long

**Yang Xiao Long** is one of the four main protagonists from the American-produced anime series RWBY. She is one of the huntresses from the Beacon Academy and is the member of Team RWBY led by her younger sister Ruby Rose. She is the daughter of Taiyang Xiao Long (the name she inherited from) and Summer Rose (the name that Ruby Rose would inherit from).

## History

Yang Xiao Long was born to a family of Taiyang Xiao Long and Summer Rose two years before her sister Ruby Rose came. Tragedy would strike when Summer Rose would die after a freak attack by the Grimm. Yang Xiao Long was four years old at the time of her mother's death and remembered Ruby Rose crying for "three days".

Her father would train her and Ruby to fight. Unfortunately, Yang Xiao Long (at the age of 8) was left to take care of her sister when their father vanished. They were picked up by the communist party which would become their new major influence in their lives.

During their teens, they would be signed up at Beacon Academy to be trained as huntresses but unfortunately they were expelled after the academy was attacked by the communist party. In retaliation, the academy building was destroyed with a ballistic missile and so Yang and Ruby were given private schooling by the communist party itself.

At the age of 18, Yang Xiao Long became an active communist party member while Ruby joined the youth communist league. When Team RWBY was formed, Blake and Weiss at first were rather distraught by the radicalism of Yang and Ruby but they would eventually settle as their common enemies were the Grimm.

## Personality

Yang Xiao Long is the stereotypical "sexy blonde girl" with a personality that of a tomboy (although she refuses to be called such due to an incident with Neptune). She is rough, she is also a bit stubborn but nonetheless, she is caring for her sister Ruby and knows that Ruby Rose has suffered a lot mentally.

## Semblance

Yang's semblance is rage. Whenever she is angry, she becomes destructive and will do anything to obliterate the target individual that pissed her off. Her eyes go red and her hair burns from the rage (making her look like some kind of a dumpster fire gender-bent ripoff of Goku from Dragon Balls).

## Relationships

### Family

#### Taiyang Xiao Long

The father-daughter bond between Yang and her father was normal for the most part. Though Taiyang was a bit rougher with his daughters after their mother died, Yang deeply cared for her father since he was the only parent before he left the two.

#### Summer Rose

There isn't much between Yang and Summer given that Summer died early on in their childhoods.

#### Ruby Rose

Yang for Ruby is her mother figure. She was there for Ruby during most of her hardships in childhood from their mother's death to their father leaving them. Yang tends to tease Ruby for her playful personality but the two have a healthy sibling relationship.

### Team RWBY

#### Blake Belladonna

When Yang Xiao Long met Blake, she was uncomfortable with the cat ears and was taught throughout the childhood not to commit bestiality or face the death penalty. Blake assured her that she doesn't seek for such. Blake and Yang were not in a romantic relationship until Yang was 19 when Blake kissed her but Yang felt too uncomfortable given Blake's origin as a faunus. Yang Xiao Long then broke in tears but shifted the blame on Blake saying that Blake tried to "rape her" (confirmed true following leaks given to the communist party). Blake Belladonna was executed.

#### Weiss Schnee

Weiss Schnee is the stereotypical mean girl from a rich family of "Schnees". She was bragging about her riches and Yang and Ruby were not into that shit so the "friendship" was rather rough with Weiss always spewing anti-communist rhetoric at the two until her execution and the fall of Team RWBY.

### Romantic relationships

#### Jaune

Yang's first interaction with a boy was Jaune who she met when she was a student in Beacon Academy. Yang and Jaune developed a crush on one another and proceeded to date until Yang was expelled from Beacon Academy.

#### Neptune

Yang fell in love with Neptune when she was 18. Neptune would call her a tomboy causing Yang to punch him not knowing that he teased her. Unfortunately, this lead to the communist party intervening believing that Neptune triggered her reflexes and Neptune was dungeoned and starved to death.

#### Trpimir Kremljević

Trpimir and Yang met when she was 19 and it was on that occasion when Yang heard a tank approaching only to discover it came from Trpimir. Trpimir explained to Yang that he lost his legs in an accident and that he was in for a short time in solitary confinement as a result of his questionable behavior caused by some of his trauma in life. Yang was visibly disturbed by Trpimir's behavior during their interaction but slowly realized that she encountered "one of the saddest people".

The two would eventually try to form a friendship bond but Trpimir didn't see romance until later on. Trpimir sought for love and care and wouldn't develop romance until weeks passed after their friendship began.
