RWBY V1 C1

## Plot

The series begins with, of course, narration, from a woman. Man was born from dust, but into the unforgiving world of Remnant. Monsters called the creatures of Grimm were determined to destroy humanity, and it looked like they were winning. However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change. Humanity had tools that allowed them to create a power that helped even the odds. This power was named Dust. They drove off the darkness and started civilizations. Specifically, four kingdoms throughout the world. And in the kingdom of Vale is where our story begins. A man takes over the narration, and yes, it's Ozpin. Some men attempt to rob a dust store, but fail to notice a girl in the back. When she realizes they're robbing her (she has headphones on), she punches one guy all the way across the store. She tackles another through the store window. Her weapon is **A GIANT SCYTHE!** Oh, and it can become a gun too.Holy carp, I'm going to love this character, aren't I? Their leader, Roman Torchwick, orders his men to get her. She thoroughly kicks their asses. Everyone has a special power called a Semblance. Her Semblance is super speed, complete with rose petals! Roman runs away and gets into a plane. A woman saves the girl from an explosion. Roman pilots the plane while a woman fights the other woman, who is a Huntress. One uses magic, and the other uses telekinesis. In the end, Roman and the mystery woman in shadows get away. The girl's name is Ruby Rose. The Huntress's name is Glynda Goodwitch. She reprimands Ruby for being so reckless. She wants to send her home, but her boss, Professor Ozpin, has other ideas. He's the headmaster of Beacon Academy. He notices that Ruby has silver eyes. She goes to Signal Academy. Her uncle Qrow taught her how to wield a scythe. She wants to become a Huntress, and plans on applying to Beacon after she finishes her training at Signal in two years. Her older sister is starting there this year. She gets moved ahead two years and is going to Beacon with her sister, Yang Xiao Long. She's excited, but she just wants to be normal and doesn't want people to think she's special. One of the other students gets airsick and pukes. Oddly enough, the theme song plays at the end of the episode, but only for the premiere. It's really good! It's called "This Will Be The Day", by Jeff and Casey Lee Williams. *They see you as small and helpless They see you as just a child Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild Prepare for your greatest moments Prepare for your finest hour The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower We are lightning straying from the thunder Miracle of ancient wonder This will be the day we've waited for This will be the day we open up the door I don't wanna hear your absolution. Hope you're ready for a revolution Welcome to a world of new solutions Welcome to a world of bloody evolution In time, your heart will open minds A story will be told And victory is in a simple soul.*

## Review

I love that song! This was a good episode. It's 12 minutes long. That's about how long the standalone episodes are in volume 1. The two parters are between 4 and 6 or so minutes. I love Ruby! She's so optimistic and idealistic. She reminds me of my sister, who also got me into this show in late 2015, just before volume 3 came out. I love my sis more than any person on this planet. I love Ruby's weapon, although I just know I'm going to spell scythe wrong just about every single time. Ruby is based off of Little Red Riding Hood, and she wears a red hood. Her color scheme is red and black. Red is my favorite color. Yang's color scheme is yellow, and I think she's either based off of Goldilocks or Rapunzel. Glynda is based on the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz.
