Reese's Hoverboard

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Reese's Hoverboard** is Reese Chloris' signature weapon. It is a hybrid between a hoverboard and twin revolvers with bayonets. Reese is first seen wielding it in "Round One".

## Description

The overall look of the weapon presents a sleek, high-tech design, filled with green lines. It also doubles as a mode of transportation, with Reese able to move around on the hoverboard.

In combat, not only is Reese able to use it as a bludgeon, she can also use it as a shield, assuming she isn't traveling the battlegrounds on it. Its secondary form transforms into a pair of revolvers with bayonets. These handguns shoot green Dust projectiles.

The Hoverboard can also incorporate some different types of Dust into its mechanism to add specific elemental effects. The default green color of the hoverboard's internal glow and muzzle flash could indicate that it uses wind or air Dust, which is known to be green.

The Hoverboard is also seen being infused with orange Dust, after which its designs turn red, it can glow orange and it is capable of creating fiery blasts and heat. Reese uses this Dust to melt the ice encasing Nadir's legs and to break the guard of Blake Belladonna.

In "Heroes and Monsters", the Hoverboard is infused with ice Dust, which she uses to freeze the leg of an Atlesian Paladin.

## Trivia

* The gun form of the weapon resembles the Spiker from the *Halo* series.
Reese Chloris

**Overview**
Image Gallery

**Reese Chloris** is a member of Team ABRN. Reese and her team were first revealed at the RTX 2015 *RWBY* Panel on August 7th, 2015. She fights Blake Belladonna during the Vytal Festival Tournament.

## Appearance

Reese appears as a young girl with light green hair swept to her right, with green eyes and fair complexion. She also wears two black facial markings on her cheeks.

Reese's attire reflects a skater motif. She wears a dark purple hooded sweater over a mauve sweater. She also wears black shorts, as well as knee pads and elbow pads on her arms and legs. She wears black shoelaced high top sneakers.

## Powers and Abilities

Reese's weapon is a bladed hoverboard capable of transforming into twin pistols. She is able to ride on the hoverboard to swiftly navigate battlefields, whilst also fluidly switching to using it as a shield and melee weapon. For ranged attacks, she can throw her hoverboard in addition to using its twin pistol form. Her hoverboard can also incorporate fire Dust, allowing her to create fiery blasts and generate heat, or ice Dust allowing her to freeze enemies.

She is shown to be quite adept at hand-to-hand combat, parrying and matching Blake's attacks aggressively. However, she also embarrassingly fails to make an acrobatic jump, instead falling squarely on her tailbone. Given that she had been fighting on her hoverboard until that point, she potentially forgot to account for how she was landing on slippery ice. She was also easily deceived by Blake's clones, despite the fact that Blake had previously created several against her, which may indicate a lack of foresight, situational awareness or just plain gullibility.

## History

Reese and her team are students at Haven Academy, from the kingdom of Mistral. Her team journeyed to participate in the 40th Vytal Festival combat tournament, hosted by the kingdom of Vale, but were defeated by Team RWBY in the team round of the tournament.

Reese and the other students defend Beacon Academy during the invasion by the Grimm and the White Fang.

## Trivia

* *Reese* is an English name meaning "ardent, fiery". The word fiery has many definitions, including, "consisting of fire or burning strongly and brightly, having the bright color of fire, or a person having a passionate, quick-tempered nature".
* *Chloris* is derived from the Greek word χλωρός (*chloros*) meaning "green", especially in relation to youth and vigor. Chloris, in Greek mythology, was a nymph associated with spring, flowers, and new growth.

Junior's Bazooka

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Junior's Bazooka** is a rocket launcher-club hybrid weapon owned by Junior Xiong. It has two different forms: a club form and a bazooka form.

The latter form has the ability to launch multiple rockets simultaneously. It was broken during Junior's fight with Yang Xiao Long at the end of the "Yellow" Trailer.

The weapon's appearance could possibly be based on a bottle of alcohol, as in its club form, it shares a visual similarity. Furthermore, when broken by Yang, the Bazooka behaved like a glass bottle would when it is broken, having jagged and sharp edges where it was shattered.

## Trivia

* The animation used when Junior's Bazooka fires is similar to, or the same as, the missile pod used in *Red vs. Blue* Season 10, a previous work of Monty Oum.
* At the *RWBY* panel at RTX 2013, Monty stated that when designing the weapon, he wanted to give a more toned-down look in comparison to previous weapons. However, after being unsatisfied with simply giving Junior a bat and a couple grenades, he decided to add a bazooka component to the bat.

**Sage's Weapon** first appeared in the Volume 3 Opening, slung across Sage Ayana's back.

## Description

It appears to have a very large gray-black handle and a bronze chain hanging from its pommel. The blade of the sword itself is long, wide and gray, with a bronze streak in the middle of it. Near the base of the blade is what appears to be Roman numerals, which match the tattoos around Sage's neck. They read as 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
STRQ

—Qrow, on Team STRQ

**Overview**
Battles and Events
Image Gallery

## Team STRQ

**STRQ** (pronounced "Stark") was a team composed of Summer Rose, Taiyang Xiao Long, Raven Branwen and Qrow Branwen.

STRQ graduated from Beacon Academy prior to the events of the series. Qrow reveals that they were rather well-known during their time at Beacon, suggesting a similar reputation and record of accomplishments as the team two of their children (Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long) would be a part of.

## History

After Team STRQ first formed, Taiyang and at least one other member, likely Summer by process of elimination, played a prank on Qrow. He had never seen a school uniform before, so they told him that the girl's uniform skirt was actually a kilt. When Qrow appeared in class, then-Teacher's Assistant Peter Port had to leave and privately laugh. Later, Qrow had to publicly work on his landing strategy while wearing the skirt, a memory Taiyang would find hilarious for years. Taiyang also claims that this prank did Qrow a favor as it helped him catch the positive attention of girls in the school.

According to Raven, Team STRQ got away with more than they should have and were given more difficult missions by Ozpin, similar to that of Team RWBY.

In "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back" Taiyang tells Yang Xiao Long that Raven had unspecified faults that tore Team STRQ apart.

Following the team's dissolution, Summer actively worked as a Huntress and raised a family with Taiyang up until her death on a mission; Taiyang became a teacher at Signal Academy; Raven returned to the bandit tribe that raised her and Qrow and eventually became its leader; Qrow temporarily became a teacher at Signal and actively worked in Ozpin's group.

## Trivia

* Following the Color Naming Rule, the team name is intended to evoke the phrase "stark white".
* All of the members of STRQ are related to Ruby Rose and/or Yang Xiao Long:
	+ Summer is Ruby's mother and Yang's step-mother.
	+ Taiyang is their father.
	+ Raven is Yang's mother.
	+ Qrow is Yang's biological uncle and Ruby's honorary uncle.
* They share a similar color scheme to Team RWBY:
	+ Red for Raven and Ruby.
	+ White for Summer and Weiss.
	+ Black for Qrow and Blake.
	+ Yellow for Taiyang and Yang.
* Two members of both teams are biologically related:
	+ Qrow and Raven are twin siblings.
	+ Ruby and Yang are half-sisters.
Ozpin's Cane

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Ozpin's Cane** is Ozpin's weapon of choice. Its capabilities are unknown, but it is stated as being able to "store time" in the Volume 3 Commentaries. Exactly what this means is not elaborated upon.

## Description

Ozpin's Cane is a long cane that doubles as a walking stick. Its handle is embellished with a pattern, and there is a large knuckle guard which reaches down the bottom of the handle. The larger area at the bottom of the handle contains small gold-colored gears. The shaft of the cane has a gray-black coloration and appears to be square in shape as opposed to most canes which have a round shaft.

Ozpin has used the cane for mobility, as he's seen using it whenever he walks around Beacon. However, he has also been seen not to need it for support, and he held it like a sword when confronting Cinder in "Heroes and Monsters".

During "End of the Beginning", Ozpin is briefly seen fighting against Cinder with the cane. Primarily, he uses it as a bludgeoning weapon, striking Cinder at incredible speeds and using it to parry her blows. He also uses it to generate a spherical protective force field by striking it into the ground. This field gives off violent arcs of energy and is able to temporarily withstand Cinder's use of the Fall Maiden's power.

After Ozpin's disappearance, the cane is apparently left behind. Qrow Branwen carries it in the post credit sequence of the episode.

In the post-credit sequence of "No Safe Haven" Qrow gives the cane to Oscar Pine when the latter asked for it back. In the process, it is shown to be capable of retracting entirely into its own handle.

The cane has also been shown to be able to extend to a shorter length, to match Oscar's stature.

Despite its supple design, the cane is absurdly durable, capable of blocking hits from a Lightning Dust-enhanced Hazel Rainart without any discernible damage despite Hazel's overwhelming physical strength. In addition, it's also capable of deflecting Fire Dust projectiles from Leonardo Lionheart's weapon during their battle.

## History

The cane was built by Ozpin himself during one of his previous incarnations, and has been used by at least 2 previous incarnations of Ozpin before its first appearance. This makes the cane decades, if not centuries old.

Yatsuhashi's Sword

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Yatsuhashi's Sword** is a greatsword, Yatsuhashi Daichi's weapon of choice.

## Description

The sword is nearly as tall as Yatsuhashi himself, with the blade being more than twice the length of his torso. The length of the handle provides ample grip space for this two-handed weapon.

The blade is dual-edged and two-toned; the flat being a rusty brown copper while the edges appear to have a golden sheen. The blade is slightly curved, ending in a reversed, barb-like hook.

Though the blade is incredibly large and heavy, Yatsuhashi compliments this with his immense strength. In "Breach", after jumping out of the Bullhead to assist in the fight, he smashed the blade into the ground with enough force to clear out hordes of Grimm and form a crater on his landing spot.

Occasionally, Yatsuhashi is seen holding the sword in a reverse grip.
Sky Lark

History
Affiliation

Image Gallery
Quotes

**Sky Lark** is a former attendee of Beacon Academy, and a member of Team CRDL. His weapon of choice appears to be a halberd. He made his first appearance in "Players and Pieces".

## Appearance

Sky has blue eyes and long, combed back, dark blue hair. He wears dark gray armor with light gray edges, as well as vambraces of the same style. Underneath his armor, he wears a black, long-sleeved V-neck shirt and black pants.

## Personality

Sky seems to be a cowardly sort. So far he has not spoken and follows Cardin Winchester in his abuse of others. When Jaune Arc defies Cardin by pelting him with a jar of red sap, Sky tries to hide behind Dove Bronzewing, who shrugs him off, obviously annoyed.

He displays a capacity to be silly, as seen when he uses his hands to form bunny ears on his head, though whether this is lighthearted or entirely meant to offend Velvet Scarlatina is subject to speculation. His cowardly side is mostly seen when he abandons his leader to fend for himself against a giant Ursa.

## Powers and Abilities

In "Extracurricular", Sky displays enough physical strength to gouge his axe into the ground. However, he is also shown to have very little coordination whether on his own or with his teammates, as he is unable to competently block attacks while battling against Pyrrha Nikos, constantly being driven back and/or knocked down. He ended up being the first member of the team to be incapacitated, not long after the fight began.

In the doubles round fight against Penny Polendina and Ciel Soleil in the tournament, he demonstrates some acrobatic skill when he uses his halberd to pole vault over a boulder to avoid Penny's attack.

## Trivia

* The name "Sky" suggests shades of blue and gray, though this connection to the Color Naming Rule is unconfirmed.
* Sky Lark is named after a genus of larks known as *Alauda*, also known as Skylarks. This fits the bird theme for Team CRDL.
* Sky's eyes changed from blue to brown in Volume 2.
Melanie Malachite

Quotes

**Melanie Malachite** is a character introduced in the "Yellow" Trailer. She and her twin sister Miltia Malachite are seen working for Junior Xiong when they fight Yang Xiao Long. Melanie's weapons of choice are her heels.

## Appearance

Melanie is a teenage girl with long black hair and pale green eyes, highlighted by heavy cyan makeup. She wears a white, strapless dress with cyan lining.

Her accessories include a large white flower hairpin above her left ear, a white feather scarf, a silver pad with cyan and red feathers on her left shoulder, white gloves, a small silver bracer over the glove on her left arm, a bow in the center of the top-most part of her bodice, a silver chained belt, cyan wings on the lower back, and long white boots with blades at the heels.

## Personality

Though Melanie has had barely any speaking lines, it can be assumed that she is a strong-willed, confident girl. She stands and acts in an arrogant manner, even after seeing Yang's fighting abilities.

In addition, she clearly shows her displeasure when Junior indicated for her and Miltia to leave when he wanted to talk with Yang. She also seems to have high standards when it comes to boys. When Neptune Vasilias greets them coolly, she, along with her sister, huff and walk away, saying "whatever" in unison.

## Powers and Abilities

Melanie fights primarily with kicks, using the blades on her heels as her weapons. She possesses above-average strength, agility, and skills, being able to perform fast shifting and evasive flips to move around in combat. She can even parry and cut Ember Celica's shells with her kicks, at both close range and long range.

When Melanie fights alongside Miltia, she forms a great combination with her sister, using flanking, distraction, and swift kicks to assault Yang and create openings for Miltia to attack. She also helps her sister while attacking, as seen when she sweeps Yang's leg to prevent Ember Celica from aiming at Miltia.

The twins prove to be a match for Yang, and manage to knock her down once. Even without Miltia, Melanie is shown to be a very skilled fighter on her own, being able to hold her ground against Yang in close combat for a short time. This may be because Yang has trouble fighting against characters like Melanie who use kicks as their primary fighting style.

## Trivia

* According to Monty Oum, Melanie's character design is based on an early version of Weiss Schnee.
* Melanie is a Greek name derived from *melania* (μελανία) which means "blackness". Malachite is a mineral name derived from *molochitis lithos* (Μολοχίτης λίθος) which means "mallow-green stone".
	+ Appropriate to their shared surname, both of the twins have green eyes.
* According to Monty, Melanie and Miltia were created because some friends of his asked for a set of twins to cosplay.

Port's Blunderbuss

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Port's Blunderbuss** is the weapon wielded by Professor Peter Port. It is a cross between a blunderbuss and a battle axe.

## Description

 File:Infobox Port Blunderbuss.png
A seemingly rudimentary design, Port's Blunderbuss appears merely to have an axe blade attached to the stock of the weapon.

He is shown to wield the battle axe portion by holding the barrel of the gun. During the episode "Breach", Port is seen using the blunderbuss in combat against the Grimm. He is able to shoot several balls of fire from it, decimating the Grimm in front of him alongside Bartholomew Oobleck. However, in "Battle of Beacon", a Griffon appears unaffected when he shoots it in the neck.

## Trivia

* In "Little Red Riding Hood", the 12th episode of *RWBY Chibi*, Weiss questions the practicality of having two axe blades on the stock, pointing out that they prevent the weapon from being aimed. Port himself chimes in, putting it down to "personal preference".
* According to the *RWBY* Volume 2 Crew Commentaries, the blades on Port's weapon were intended to fold up and go into the gun, but this feature has yet to appear in the series.
Sienna's Chain Whip

## ???

**Sienna's Chain Whip** was Sienna's weapon of choice. It made its first appearance in the "Volume 6 Adam Character Short".

## Description

The weapon functions as a chain whip with three detachable Dust blades. These can also be thrown at enemies dealing elemental damage, as seen when Sienna used a fire one to blow up a robot and an ice one to freeze an Atlas soldier's gun. When she was not in combat, Sienna kept the chain wrapped around her wrist.

Dew Gayl

**Dew Gayl** is a member of Team NDGO. Dew and her team fight Team SSSN in a match of the Vytal Festival Tournament in the episode "New Challengers...".

## Appearance

Dew is a young female with tanned skin, dark blonde hair swept to her left side, and violet eyes.

She wears a sleeveless green dress with an asymmetrical hem, what appears to be golden scale armor underneath her dress that covers her chest, neck and left arm, a lighter green sarong tied around her hips, and a golden pauldron. Two thin chains loop from the front of her pauldron and around her torso to the back.

She also wears a pair of over-the-knee scale leggings, the same as her chest armor, armored boots with a small heel matching the pauldron, and a simple chain bracelet with a ring connected to it on her right hand.

## Powers and Abilities

Dew's main weapon is a spear. Either through the use of Dust or her Semblance, she is capable of creating large dust devils or tornadoes that can easily pluck enemies off their feet and fling them long distances. Using this ability, she was able to throw Sage Ayana out of the arena, and she almost succeeded at doing the same to Sage's teammate Scarlet David during NDGO's match with SSSN.

She is also shown to be skilled at hand-to-hand combat, being able to parry Sage's attack with ease. She also showed the ability to deflect thrown projectiles using her spear (also setting them on fire), which she used to great effect against Sun Wukong and Scarlet, eliminating the latter from the fight.

## History

Dew and her team are students at Shade Academy, from the kingdom of Vacuo. Her team journeyed to participate in the 40th Vytal Festival combat tournament, hosted by the kingdom of Vale, but were defeated by Team SSSN in the team round of the tournament.

## Trivia

* "Dew" is the name used to describe the droplets of water that form over cold surfaces during the night.
* Gayl is a corruption of the word "Gale", used to refer to strong gusts of wind. While wind itself is colorless, in several other forms of media it is often represented by the color green. This is further compounded in-universe by wind Dust also being green.
* Dew and the rest of Team NDGO were created by a group of fans who backed Rooster Teeth's *Lazer Team* Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Dew is voiced by her creator Paige Campbell, "Team NDGO Character Consultant" in the credits of the episode. Dew has additional spoken lines supplied by Kim Newman.

**Overview**
History
Affiliation

Quotes

**Jinn** is a magical being held inside the Relic of Knowledge. Once summoned by those who call her by her name, she can answer three questions every one hundred years.

## Appearance

Jinn's appearance is that of a voluptuous blue woman much larger than a normal human. She has pointed ears and long, flowing dark blue hair. Her eyes are dark blue in the sclerae and pupils, and a lighter blue in the irises. She appears nude-like aside from various gold accessories, most of which have a slavery theme: a chain headdress, big hooped earrings (the right ear also has an extra earring), a choker, bracelets with chains dangling from them (along with a single bracelet on her left forearm), anklets, and a belt of chains around her waist that ends in a big ring with three prongs. Trailing below her waist is a veil of a wisp-like smoke.

Her accessories aesthetically derive from the Relic of Knowledge. Both the choker and the anklets are shaped like the band wrapped around the relic's orb, and the rings in Jinn's ears and belt look similar to the Relic's handle.

## Trivia

* Jinn (الجن‎ *al-jinn*, also romanized as "djinn"; commonly anglicized as "genies") are supernatural creatures in early pre-Islamic Arabian and later Islamic mythology. The greatest magicians in Arabic lore were able to capture djinn to their service and tied them to items such as lamps or rings. The Djinn granted wishes to whoever helped them out of gratitude. Both these aspects were popularized by the folk tale of "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp," featured in *One Thousand and One Nights*, where a poor boy finds an oil lamp in which a wish-granting jinni was concealed.
	+ "Jinn" is plural. A single member of the jinn is called a "jinni" (الجني *al-jinnī*, also romanized as "djinni"; commonly anglicized as "genie")
* Haven Academy, where the Relic of Knowledge was hidden, has a statue of a chained woman resembling Jinn.
* According to character concept art, Jinn is 12 feet tall, making her by far the tallest character in the show.
Sanctum Academy

**Sanctum Academy** is presumed to be a primary combat school for trainee Huntsmen, like Signal Academy. Likewise, it is probable that Sanctum is located in the Kingdom of Mistral.

**NDGO** (pronounced "Indigo") is an all-female team from Shade Academy of Vacuo. They were first seen fighting Team SSSN in the Vytal Festival Tournament in "New Challengers...". Peter Port called them a crowd favorite. They lost the battle despite eliminating two members of Team SSSN.

## Trivia

* Team NDGO was created by a group of fans who backed Rooster Teeth's *Lazer Team* Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Grace Bono, Paige Campbell, Claire Hogan, and Mylissa Zelechowski voiced their characters and are also listed as "Team NDGO Character Consultant" in the credits of the episode. Kim Newman and Kate Warner provided additional spoken lines for the characters Nebula and Dew.
	+ The name "NDGO" thus has dual meanings, alongside it being derived from the color indigo, it is also a play off of "Indiegogo".

Coco's Handbag

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Coco's Handbag** is Coco Adel's weapon of choice.

## Description

First seen in "Field Trip", the weapon takes the form of an ordinary handbag adorned with studs and an ammo belt for a shoulder strap. It is capable of transforming into a "concealed" brown and gold rotary cannon, a gatling gun. The size of the gun makes her somewhat of a stationary fighter, similar to Flynt Coal, using Yatsuhashi Daichi by her side as a form of defense in "Lessons Learned".

Because of the weight that is concealed in the handbag, it can be used as a powerful bludgeoning weapon. Its small size in bag form makes it easier for her deliver swift close ranged attacks, and to maneuver. In minigun form, the weapon's rate of fire is quick enough to evenly mow down a field of tall grass in one motion. Due to the weight of the weapon, as well as the rotational inertia of the barrels and the recoil in minigun form, superhuman strength is needed to use it.

The firepower of this weapon is highly variable in different appearances. In "Breach", it is devastating enough to take on a swarm of large Grimm, destroy a Death Stalker, and take out three giant Nevermores in short order. In later appearances, when fired at almost point blank range at a Griffon or used against an Atlesian Paladin, it had little to no effect, and was also incapable of destroying trees.
Leonardo's Weapon

**Leonardo's Weapon** is Leonardo Lionheart's weapon of choice.

## Description

It is a wrist-mounted shield with several Dust containers beneath a cross, from which he can conjure glyphs to fire combined Dust projectiles such as flaming rocks. When inactive, it takes the form of a bracer with a large cross on Leonardo's left arm. It contains at least eight different Dust variants, including Fire, Wind, Earth, Ice, Lightning and Gravity Dust.

When a type of Dust is selected prior to discharging a shot, the stone in the center changes color according to the type chosen at the time of each shot. It is also capable of firing shots rapidly.
Emerald's Weapons

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## ???

**Emerald's Weapons** are a pair of convertible revolver-sickles wielded by Emerald Sustrai.

## Description

Emerald's weapons are a pair of firearms with jungle-green grips, each stored inside their own separate leather casings on a belt wrapped around Emerald's waist. In the Volume 2 Opening, they are shown to be revolvers with long, curved blades, presumably with both melee and ranged functions, similar to Crescent Rose.

"Breach" finally reveals that they are revolver sickles. By default, they are a pair of revolvers that fire incredibly fast, enough to clear out large numbers of Grimm before any of them can move. Emerald can then deploy blades to fight in melee combat, or instead extend them using chains attached to her respective handles like kusarigamas to fight from mid-range. Her skill allows her to easily dispatch an Ursa Major. When folded up against the revolvers, the blades telescope into themselves.

In "Lessons Learned", the chain portion of the weapon is shown to have a surprisingly long reach when Emerald uses it to ensnare and drag Coco Adel a very long distance.

In "Beginning of the End", it was revealed that Emerald's weapons used to have different colors. The majority of the gun was leather brown color, and the blades were dark-gray, resembling unpainted metal.

## Trivia

* The weapons bear a resemblance to the falx, a forward-curved sickle sword with the blade on the inside edge that was known to have cut through Roman shields in battle.

Dew's Spear

## ???

**Dew's Spear** is Dew Gayl's weapon of choice and it made its first appearance in "New Challengers...".

## Description

Dew wields a gold-colored spear with a gradient dark blue grip in the middle of the pole. The head is shaped much like a typical ship anchor, with a strip of fabric tied to the hole. On both sides of the head is a large crystal of wind Dust, which allows her to produce tornadoes by using the tip of the spear to stir the air.

Prosthetics

A **prosthesis** is a device that replaces a missing body part. Prosthetics in the world of Remnant are advanced enough to allow the wearer full control and move identically to the body parts that they replace, with frequently added abilities.

Prosthetics can even take the place of half of a person's body, as seen with James Ironwood, who has his right arm, right leg and the right half of his torso completely replaced by a mechanical prosthesis. This extreme case, however, requires Ironwood to wear a device on his forehead that wirelessly connects with the prosthesis in order to control it.

Weapons, such as guns, can be integrated into prosthetics. Mercury Black and Yang Xiao Long, for example, have guns within their prosthetics. While Mercury's guns simply have a barrel always present in each heel, Yang's gun tucks away into her forearm. Both of these dramatically increase attack power.

Mercury's prosthetic legs appear to also utilize cyan-colored Dust in some way, as seen when one powers on and begins glowing at the end of "Beginning of the End".

Doctor Merlot has both a prosthetic right arm and left eye. The full capabilities of Merlot's prosthetics are unknown.

## Characters With Prosthetics

The following characters have been revealed to possess or have come to possess prosthetics:

* Mercury Black - Legs
* James Ironwood - Right half of his body
* Yang Xiao Long - Right arm
* Merlot - Right arm and left eye
* Maria Calavera - Eyes

—Ciel Soleil, reminding Penny of the time

**Overview**
Image Gallery

## Ciel Soleil File:Ciel Soleil forehead thingy.svg

**Ciel Soleil** is a student of Atlas Academy and was part of a team with Penny Polendina and two other Atlesian students.

## Appearance

Ciel has dark skin, short, navy blue hair, and blue eyes. She also has a gold marking consisting of an oval shape surrounded by four smaller circles in the center of her forehead.

She wears a blue beret, a plain gray button-down shirt with an asymmetrical collar and matching leggings, a blue combat skirt, and fingerless, elbow-length black gloves with a wristwatch on her left hand, and black shoes.

## Personality

She appears to be very regimented and by-the-book, and speaks with a near-monotone, matter-of-fact voice. When Ruby asks if Penny considers Ciel to be her friend, Penny replies that Ciel is merely ordered to spend time with her. Ciel is often seen to be conscious of the time, looking at her wristwatch and literally timing a minute when Penny asks for a minute to herself.

## History

Ciel Soleil participated in the Vytal Festival along with her team from Atlas Academy. After her team won their match in the team round of the tournament, she and Penny were selected to represent them in the doubles round. During the doubles match against Russel Thrush and Sky Lark of Team CRDL, Ciel is not seen fighting, and merely times Penny's performance on her wristwatch during the match.

After the match, she meets Ruby Rose, who caught up to talk to Penny. Ruby attempts to introduce herself, but Ciel quickly interrupts, revealing that she already has detailed knowledge about her, and also calls her "questionable". Ciel later allows Penny to speak to Ruby for a minute, but interrupts their conversation and calls her away once her minute is up.

According to Penny, Ciel is not aware that she is an android. Penny also states that Ciel is not her friend, and merely spends time with her because she is under orders to do so, in order to keep her out of trouble.

## Trivia

* Her name is French, with *ciel* meaning "sky", and *soleil* meaning "sun". Her name fits the Color Naming Rule by alluding both to the blue color of the sky as well as the yellow color of the sun.
* Although her first significant appearance was in *Never Miss a Beat*, she cameoed in a photo alongside Penny as Cinder is pre-assigning the contestants of the next day's battle in *It's Brawl in the Family*.

T92E1

**Т92Е1** — это американский лёгкий танк IX уровня. В нём шасси Т49, а башня как у Шеридана.

## Историческая справка

Проект экспериментального авиатранспортабельного лёгкого танка. Разрабатывался компанией Aircraft Armaments как замена М41. В конструкции было воплощено множество революционных решений. Было изготовлено два прототипа, которые прошли испытания на Абердинском полигоне. В июне 1958 года все работы по проекту были свёрнуты.

## Стратегия

Подсматривание эффективно, так как оно наносит высокий альфа-урон. Не атакуйте супертяжелых спереди, лучше используйте свою скорость и отойдите в сторону. Пробития в 230 мм достаточно, чтобы пробить бортовую броню большинства танков. Удар и бегство также эффективны. Если вы на открытом месте и пистолет перезаряжается, попытайтесь заставить противника ударить по наклонному переднему корпусу. Помни, твоё дуло - твой лучший друг.

**Miltiades "Miltia" Malachite**, is a character introduced in the "Yellow" Trailer. She and her twin sister Melanie Malachite are seen working for Junior Xiong at his club, where they fight Yang Xiao Long. Miltia's weapons of choice are her claws.

## Appearance

Miltia is a teenage girl with short black hair and pale green eyes, highlighted by heavy red makeup. She wears a red strapless dress with black lining.

Her accessories include large red and white feathers above her left ear, black fur hanging off her shoulders and held at the front by a dark gray chain, red gloves, a black bow tied around her waist, and long red boots with very high stiletto heels.

Her dress seems to be made out of, or is decorated with, newspaper articles with the heading "A New York la pop art di Alborghetti".

## Personality

Though Miltia has only one line in the trailer, it can be assumed that Miltia is generally a quiet girl.

She stands in a polite manner and lowers her head a bit, which contrasts with Melanie's more arrogant attitude. She also followed Junior's order readily, as shown when he dismisses them from the bar, while her sister showed a sign of stubbornness.

She also seems to have high standards when it comes to boys. When Neptune greets them coolly, she, along with her sister show their disdain, walking away and saying "whatever" in unison.

## Powers and Abilities

Miltia seems to have some skill in combat, employing its use in her fight against Yang. She fights using a pair of red and black claws. She possesses above-average strength, agility, and skills, able to do fast shifting, evasive flips, and even deflecting some of Ember Celica's bullets.

When teaming up with Melanie, the two can attack in unison and are able to threaten more powerful fighters, such as Yang. It seems that Miltia is a good opportunist, knowing when she should engage with an opening created by her sister or follow with her sister's assault.

## Trivia

* According to Monty Oum, Miltia's character design is based on an early version of Ruby Rose.
* Miltiades (Μιλτιάδης) is a Greek name which means "red earth". Malachite is a mineral name derived from *molochitis lithos* (Μολοχίτης λίθος) which means "mallow-green stone".

	+ Appropriate to their shared surname, both twins have green eyes.
* According to Monty, Melanie and Miltia were created because some of his friends had asked for a set of twins to cosplay.

Henry Marigold

—Henry Marigold

**Henry Marigold** is a guest at the Schnee Dust Company's charity event in "Tipping Point". He attempts to woo Weiss Schnee but only infuriates her with his lack of understanding of what the charity event is for.

## Appearance

Henry is a young man with light-brown eyes and dull-blue hair in an undercut hairstyle, with the long unshaved hair swept to his left and hanging slightly in his face. He wears a maroon dress shirt and black tie with a black vest decorated with a marigold flower design, silver buttons, and a breast pocket containing a red handkerchief.

On his index and ring fingers on each hand, he wears plain silver rings.

## Personality

At first glance, Henry appears to be a nice, if somewhat uncertain, gentleman, approaching Weiss sweetly in hopes of wooing her. However, his confident persona quickly devolves into a nervous and stuttering young man as Weiss continually turns down or ignores his advances.

He is also shown to be somewhat ignorant or self-centered, as he appears to have been unaware that the Schnee-funded party was for a charity until Weiss points out that the art sale is for raising money. He admits that he simply showed up to have a good time and proceeds to take on a dismissive tone as he asks if the charity is for Mantle, ignoring the sign that tells him that it is for Vale.
