Team RWBY

Team **RWBY** (pronounced as "ruby"), is a team of huntresses-in-training from Beacon Academy. They consist of their leader Ruby Rose, Schnee Dust Company heiress Weiss Schnee, former White Fang member Blake Belladonna, and the Ruby's sister Yang Xiao-Long. Initially the four couldn't even put up with one another upon being formed, but have since formed a strong bond and consider themselves a family.

## Overview

Team RWBY was formed by Professor Ozpin of Beacon Academy, when Ruby Rose and her half-sister Yang Xiao-Long both obtained the white rook chess pieces during their initiation exam. They, along with Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna were then put into a team named "RWBY", an acronym of their names (R=Ruby, W=Weiss, B=Blake, Y=Yang), and named after a shade of the color red, that being ruby.

## Members

### Ruby Rose

**Ruby Rose** is the leader of Team RWBY. She has had a romanticized vision of being a huntress since childhood, mostly due to her parent being huntsmen before. Despite her still forming skills of being a leader, Ruby is known to be childish, dorky, and annoying in some situations. Despite this, Ruby is willingly to prove herself when a situation arises.

Out of the rest of her team (save for Yang), Ruby seems to like the Reds and Blues the most. She even started a relationship with Blue Team member Michael J. Caboose, which has raised some eyebrows.

Ruby's main colors are black, red, and silver. However in *A Soldier's Debt*, she swaps the red out for blue.

### Weiss Schnee

**Weiss Schnee** is Ruby's partner and the *de facto*/self-proclaimed second-in-command of Team RWBY. She is the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, Remnant's leading company in energy and dust propellant. Due to her upper-class and aristocratic status, she looked down at the rest of her team, even prior to formation. Weiss reason for going to Beacon Academy was to leave the influence of her father Jacques, who had been abusing the SDC's power and steered it operations into a morally gray area of production. Despite her initial appearance at first glance, Weiss is a loyal friend to her teams, though can be annoyed at their antics from time to time.

Weiss has the least positive relationship with the Reds and Blues, if not down right negative. She initially had no respect for any of them, and believed that they were permanently stupid, even when they showed actions of cleverness and heroism. Though she did respect Simmons and Doc to some degree. However, after a rallying speech from Sarge, Weiss is able to look past her views of them, and help in defeating the Meta.

Weiss's colors are white and light blue.

### Blake Belladonna

**Blake Belladonna** is the third member of Team RWBY. She considered the "emo" of the group, and often keeps a calm, cool, and monotone personality while in public. Prior to going to Beacon, Blake was a member of the White Fang, a Faunus activist organization that wished for equality, through violent means. She would leave the group after becoming disillusioned with their methods.

Blake seems to be neutral when it comes to the Reds and Blues. She is often confused during their unique antics, and can get annoyed sometimes. Blake does feel their sympathy however, such as when they discovered the truth behind Project Freelancer, and the simulation troopers.

Blake main colors are black, white, purple, and to some extent yellow.

### Yang Xiao-Long

**Yang Xiao-Long**, is Ruby older half-sister. Her birth mom, Raven, left her right after she was born. Yang became a huntress in order to go on daring adventures and get lost in the moment of the action, and to try and find her mother. Yang is by far, the most daring member of Team RWBY, and can be some-what overprotective of Ruby at times.

Yang has shown to like the Reds and Blues the most. Yet she can still be annoyed by their actions if something occurs. She has a good friendship with Red Team members Sarge and Dexter Grif, the latter of which the strongest.
