**Weiss Schnee** Was a member of team RWBY she along with the other members where transported to the new world to protect the humans from the deaths.

## Appearance

Weiss is a pale-skinned young woman with pale blue eyes and long white hair that is often pulled back into an off-center ponytail or braid on the right side and pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara. She stands at 5' 3" (1.6 meters) in heels, and has a scar which runs vertically down her left eye and face.

During her attendance in the new world, she wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this, she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest.

She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled, and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back.

## Personality

Weiss takes her time in the new world more seriously than her teammates, taking notes even when the topic is not related to the knowledge she seeks. She equates such dedication in the castle with dedication in the field. Thus, she is annoyed at those who do not take things seriously, especially when it comes to becoming protectors against the deaths. Weiss remains calm and tactical during encounters and mentally coaches herself. She is thoughtful and fights with precision and coordination.

After speaking with Katara, Weiss' attitude appears to change, as she takes her suggestion to "be the best person [she] can be" to heart. She opens up to Ruby, though she does not halt future criticisms. Weiss' development carries into her whimsical and humorous side as she joins her team. Weiss also enjoys planning and participating in certain events.

## Abilities

Weiss' combat style relies heavily on ricocheting off either surrounding surfaces or her glyphs, allowing her to take control of the fight by rapidly attacking from multiple angles to keep the enemy off balance. She has been seen utilizing this tactic with her Arma Gigas Summon, rapidly transporting it between glyphs to confuse and ambush the enemy in mid-strike. Her Semblance enables her to shift rapidly between offense, defense and evasion.

Most notably, Weiss frequently utilizes Dust in battle. She has shown a preference for Ice Dust, only switching types if it provides her with an advantage, such as using Wind Dust against sonic based attacks, or to create certain types of glyphs such as black or time dilation glyphs. She has used Ice Dust to trap enemies, create a trail to push enemies from a height, create a slippery sheet of ice and form pointed ice chunks to use as projectiles.

Weiss also has some skill in medical treatment. In the new world, She helped Erza Scarlet after she had been injured by the death king witch shot a single beam from his finger right through her she was bandaged up by her new friends she was then tending to her bedside. However, it is insufficient in fully handling her condition.

Weiss is also is capable of using guns despite never having been shown to hold any experience with them before, She's also showcased some skill in a dual sword style, using both Myrtenaster and Gambol Shroud.

## Weapon

Weiss' weapon of choice is Myrtenaster, a Multi-Action Dust Rapier. The rapier has a revolving chamber inside the guard, which has six slots in total, each of which contains a vial of powdered Dust. The revolving chamber is constantly stocked with red, cyan, purple, white, yellow and blue Dust.

Weiss utilizes the Dust in combat, either in raw form or in conjunction with her Semblance to create various effects that suit the situation. When not using Myrtenaster as a Dust supplier, Weiss utilizes her speed to dodge attacks and her sword to deliver damage through quick thrusts that leave little room for counters.

## Semblance

Weiss has the Schnee family Semblance of Glyphs, allowing her to create glyphs that can be used in a variety of ways: create a slippery platform to skate on at high speed, generate midair platforms to manipulate her trajectory in the air and perform limited time dilation that can speed up actions, to name a few.

She has gained more control over her Semblance upon her arrival in the new world. During her fight against new nemesis winter she could also use her glyphs to create several ice spikes to simultaneously speed up and throw the ice as makeshift spears while summoning her Arma Gigas.

## Summoning

With mastery, a Schnee also has the ability to summon avatars of the foes that they have defeated. While these avatars have the appearance of Grimm, they do not possess the same weaknesses. For instance, they are unaffected by the light from Silver Eyes.

Winter specifies that the summoned foe had to have caused the Schnee to push past who they were and become who they are now.
