* **Crescent Rose:**Ruby's main weapon. This massive scythe is enhanced by her aura, and can transform into a customizable, high-impact sniper rifle, a large halberd-like polearm, and a compact form for transportation purposes. Ruby has displayed incredible mastery over the weapon, using it to enhance her own agility and cut through dozens of enemies in seconds in the time it takes bullet shells to hit the ground after she fires them.

## Powers and Abilities

**Aura:**The manifestation of one's soul, which can be used for a variety of abilities. Aura is typically used as a full-body forcefield that protects the user from attacks that would otherwise be fatal. It can be used to enhance strength, speed, healing, and senses, as well as unlock the potential of others through their aura. Aura also has a manifestation known as a **Semblance**, which is unique to every user (though some people can have similar semblances, and some of them are hereditary, such as the Schnee Family's Glyphs).

* **Semblance - Petal Burst:**Ruby's semblance allows her to enhance her speed, typically leaving rose petals in her wake. This semblance can be used to fly, create vacuums and slipstreams, and even split herself into multiple copies with the help of her cloak.

**Silver Eyes:**A power gifted to certain humans by the God of Light, predating the original kingdoms of Remnant. Those who are born with Silver Eyes are destined to lead the lives of a warrior. Silver Eyes are fueled by the desire to protect and preserve life, and as such, only work on those who embody destruction, such as the Grimm. Using Silver Eyes, Ruby can paralyze, petrify, or even turn dark creatures into dust, though she hasn't fully mastered this ability yet.
