RWBY

Jax has black hair which is tied into a top knot and a silver diadem over his head. He wears a blue linen duster embroidered with spirals. The shapes seem to swirl on the fabric whenever Jax uses his Semblance .
In the " Volume 9 Bonus Ending Animatic ", he is shown wearing a prisoner's uniform after his arrest.

At his very core, Jax seemingly relishes death and destruction. He has no real ambitions beyond feeding his own fragile ego and lust for conquest and cares little for the lives of the people that he has to step over in order to see his own goals made a reality. Even the people who are loyal to him, such as his own sister, appear to hold little importance to him in the grand scheme of things. Jax also highly idolizes the lawless and violent days of Malik the Sunderer and wants nothing more then to drag Vacuo and the rest of the world with it back into those ancient times.
Xanthe Rumpole , Jax's former professor, described Jax as an arrogant man who always talked a good game but never had anything to back up his claims. During his time at Shade, Jax would often just follow the lead of his twin sister, Gillian Asturias . Jax is shown to possess extreme delusions of grandeur, believing himself to be the descendent of Malik the Sunderer, the first king of Vacuo, despite the lineage having been stated to be untraceable, and as such, firmly believes that it is his birthright to rule over Vacuo. He is also particularly ruthless in comparison to his sister, forcing her to give him all her Aura despite it possibly endangering her life.
Jax was also shown to possess an apparent fearlessness, which could be interpreted by some as suicidal insanity. Win or lose he was determined to keep fighting to the very end and refused to consider either surrender or retreat when his sister tried to warn him that the battle was no longer in their favor. Jax was even willing to force his own army – many of whom were his unwilling slaves – to continue fighting alongside him to the death and even seized control of his own sister when she tried to talk him out of the plan.
It's also implied that Jax was an expert when it came to the art of manipulation as Theodore mentions that he had "corrupted" his sister into going along with his plans and he proved charismatic enough that he was able to easily convince the rest of his team as well as others that siding with him and forming The Crown.

RWBY

Jimmy was a pale-skinned man with brown eyes who wore his dark brown hair in a short cut, complimented by a black suit. After being assaulted by his daughter, he gains a scar through his right eyebrow.

Like his wife, Jimmy presented himself as a high-class socialite. Underneath his businessman-like exterior, however, Jimmy was deeply paranoid and a schemer who, much like his wife, was obsessed with appearances.
The appearance of a normal daughter was more important to Jimmy and Carmel than raising a healthy one. While Carmel seemed more accepting of her daughter's muteness, Jimmy refused to believe that she was incapable of speech and frequently attempted to gaslight Trivia into speaking. Trivia grew to resent Jimmy for this, and he was unable to understand why she became increasingly hostile towards him.
In order to keep the façade of an ordinary family, Jimmy and Carmel kept Trivia largely confined to their private estate and out of public view. When hosting parties or entertaining guests, they ordered Trivia to remain in her bedroom. During one such party Trivia snuck out, and Jimmy did not notice until his daughter had returned home and ruined the party out of her own frustration for being neglected.
Jimmy seems to hate Semblances , or at least the " Overactive Imagination " of his daughter. When Trivia misbehaved while playing with Neopolitan, who was an early manifestation of her Semblance, and attempted to explain her actions, Jimmy interpreted it as Trivia shifting the blame away from herself. After Trivia used her Semblance to ruin a party that Jimmy and Carmel were hosting, they eventually hired a former Combat School Professor as a personal tutor; this was done so that they could keep Trivia out of a public school and right where they could keep a watchful eye on her.
When threatened, Jimmy displays a level of cowardice. After Trivia assaulted him and left a scar through his eyebrow, Jimmy became increasingly afraid of her capabilities and installed gradually more complex locks on his daughter's bedroom door in an attempt to contain her, going so far as to threaten installing a Hard-Light Shield if she refused to stay put. When this resulted in Trivia setting the estate on fire, instead of recognizing how their actions as parents had led her to this, Jimmy blamed her for the situation and allowed Carmel to send her away to Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy for Girls .
While seemingly effective in his duties as Vale's City Manager, Jimmy was a deeply corrupt politician, acting as a benefactor of the Xiong Family and giving them the leverage they needed to effectively monopolize Dust trade within the city. While this partnership proved beneficial to the Vanilles for a time, Jimmy eventually grew to resent the power over him this gave Hei Xiong and sought to dismantle it.
Jimmy proved to be clever, yet short-sighted. In an attempt to create a "nest egg" for his family, Jimmy began stealing Dust from the Xiong Family's shipments. In order to conceal the evidence of this theft should Hei ever catch on, he hid the extremely volatile substance under the floorboards in Trivia's bedroom, without considering the possible consequences should his rather unpredictable and increasingly violent daughter do something dangerous, like setting her room on fire. Despite this, Jimmy proved to be sly enough to conceal this activity not only from Xiong and Trivia, but from Carmel as well.
Despite his best efforts, Jimmy proved to be rather unstable and paranoid at his core. When stressed, Jimmy becomes prone to irrationality and acts without considering obvious yet important factors. During the gang war at the Vanille Estate, Jimmy decided to use his Dust stockpile as a bargaining chip to get the family out of their current predicament, seemingly forgetting that his daughter poses a larger threat to him despite recently paralyzing and confining her to her room.


RWBY

Similar to Ambrosius , Jinn's appearance is that of a Human, but much larger. Her skin is light blue that glows and gives off smoke, similarly to the Relic of Knowledge. She has elongated, pointed ears, and lacks some Human anatomy. She also has long, flowing dark blue hair. Her eyes are dark blue in the sclerae and pupils and a lighter blue in the irises. Her nails and toenails are dark blue. Trailing below her waist is a veil of a wisp-like smoke resembling the skirt of a dress.
Jinn appears nude-like and wears only various accessories, all of which are gold: a chain headdress, big hooped earrings, an extra earring in the right ear, a choker, cuffs on her wrists with chains dangling from them like broken shackles, a single bracelet on her left forearm, anklets, and a belt of chains around her waist that ends in a large ring with three prongs. 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.

Jinn is a wise, humble yet blunt and straightforward being, answering questions and not holding back on any of the knowledge she presents. She appears to be playful or nostalgic, calling Ozpin 'old man' when she sees him. Jinn does not appreciate people misusing the relic's unintended mechanics and was annoyed when Ruby Rose's only summoned her to stop time without asking any question, however she found some humor in the girl's ingenuity. Jinn forbade Ruby from doing it again, but allowed the girl to take a break that one time. Jinn has no problem with being asked to appear as long as it is in the pursuit of knowledge, such as when Oscar Pine summoned her for Hazel Rainart , as her appearance confirmed what he wished to know.
Jinn also takes delight of knowing valuable information that others are unlikely to ask for. When summoned in Monstra by Oscar alongside Hazel and Emerald Sustrai , she knew that Neopolitan was in the room with them and thinks that the trio would greatly benefit from this information should they ask the relevant question. [1]
It is clear that she is not bound to any specific person or cause except the person holding the Relic of Knowledge, as she ignored Ozpin's pleads for her to be silent and later assisted Cinder Fall despite knowing full well what the latter intended to do with the knowledge she obtains from her. She does however still feels affection towards some people as her face showed regret for showing Cinder how to counter Ruby's plan. This is because while she is supposed to be impartial to the user of her Relic, she was given a benevolent nature by the God of Light and ultimately wants Humanity to succeed. [2]

After the events of Volume 7 , Joanna takes charge of the group and spearheads the mission to evacuate Mantle in Robyn's stead, also helping Ruby's Group find cover and rest.

Junior has a somewhat brutish personality, not liking to be pushed around and bullying others. However, he tends to hide behind his henchmen unless forced into a fight himself. He is also somewhat dull or gullible, as he easily fell for Yang's offer to "kiss and make up" before being punched in the face.
Junior also appears to be easily intimidated or at the very least aware of his limits, as seen with Yang following her return to the club in "Painting the Town..." due to a previous encounter, quickly taking her to the side to prevent her from doing more damage to his club. Junior even has a resentment for his own men, as he is seemingly regularly disappointed by their failures.
Back when his father was still alive in " RWBY: Roman Holiday ", he constantly thought that Junior was too incompetent to take over the Xiong Family after him. After Hei Xiong was killed and Junior took over, his worries were later proven to be correct due to the Xiong Family becoming less powerful than the rising criminal Roman Torchwick and being easily defeated in battle by Yang Xiao Long.

In Part Two , Kilg%re possesses the body of a Goliath , a Beringel , then Wonder Woman , Yang , Green Lantern , and finally Watts .

He appears as a very intelligent and malicious villain. Desiring the destruction of the Justice League no matter what needs to be done. He is willing to working with Arthur Watts from another world to trap his enemies and doesn’t care he gets trapped as well. He purposely de-aged the Justice League in the simulation of Remnant in order to resurface their old trauma, depression and insecurities.
Kilg%re is also very prideful, believing himself to be superior. As such, despite willing to work with Watts, he finds himself frustrated with working with him and dislikes Watt's cautious approach, believing they should be bolder while arguing that Watts treats him like a child. Weiss hinting that he may have considered betraying Watts in the future, as he secretly revealed who the true Mastermind of the invasion on Earth was. Even so, he aided Watts in making a trap for the Justice League, but was infuriated when he discovered Watts had indeed purposelessly trapped him in the virtual world and possessed him in anger.
Also, Kilg%re was very taunting towards Flash when they met again, knowing how he traumatized the hero of possessing his body and hurting his friends. Doing the same with anybody else he possesses showing his more cruel and sadistic nature.

She wore a gold suit and dress pants, and a lemon yellow coat hanging from her shoulders. Furthermore, she wore a Magic Necklace that controls the Grimm prior to it being stolen.

RWBY

Lionheart was a middle-aged man with a mane of tan/gray hair and a beard. He had a tanned complexion with brown eyebrows and dark brown eyes.
He wore a brown greatcoat with a matching mantle, which had cross emblems on each side. He also wore a white dress shirt under his coat, a western necktie and carried a pocket watch with a lion head on it as an emblem . Lionheart also wore dark brown slacks and dress shoes.
It was revealed in " The More the Merrier " that he was a lion Faunus and possessed a tufted lion's tail the same color as his hair and beard.

On the surface, Leonardo Lionheart demonstrated a rather polite and jovial persona and genuinely came off as a well-meaning and compassionate man. He was also shown to be easily startled and seemed to be somewhat timid. Despite this, he was willing to argue with people like Qrow Branwen and seemed unafraid to speak his mind to his fellow Huntsman. Lionheart also showed to be less impulsive than Qrow, suggested they waited and to figure out a better way to retrieve the Spring Maiden from Raven Branwen , rather than immediately head out to fight the Branwen Tribe and get to her. He was also quite perceptive, for he was able to deduce that Raven was on Salem's side for the same reason as himself: out of fear, rather than necessity as she claimed. He even said to her face, "Who are you trying to convince?"
However, in front of Salem, he revealed himself to be cowardly and upheld self-preservation above all else. He was also subservient, submissive and frightened of her. Away from her, Lionheart was ashamed of what he had done in her name and strongly felt Ozpin should not have forgiven him for selling out the locations of Mistral's Huntsmen to be killed by Tyrian Callows and Hazel Rainart so he could save himself. In his final moments, Leonardo panicked and vainly begs to Salem for his life, after pleading for another chance and attempting to turn on her.
Leonardo, despite his apparent self-loathing for his actions, had a tendency to rationalize his choices in a vain effort to ease his conscience. One example of this was when he realized Oscar Pine was the current reincarnation of Ozpin and he thought delivering him to Salem could get him out of the conflict completely.
According to Ozpin, Leonardo used to be a much braver person when he was still in his service and believed something in recent years might have changed him into a coward during his final years. This was shown during the events of RWBY: The Grimm Campaign , when he sent Team SAFR to Kuchinashi to investigate the strange incidents happening there and later received their distress signal when the Wave took over the city. In response to this, he sent Huntsman reinforcements to help them retake the city and chase off the Hana Guild when they were surrounded by them.
As implied by the overflowing amount of books in both his office and alongside the walls in the waiting room of his office, Lionheart seems to have been a very studious person.

In the flashback, he seemed uncertain about the path they were taking, as while Alyx was animatedly talking with the Herbalist , Lewis seemed hesitant to engage. He also seemed amazed by the wonders of the Ever After, as seeing the exit door, he had an expression of wonder on his face.
He also cared greatly for Alyx despite her flaws.

According to the Blacksmith , the story he wrote was what he wished had happened in the Ever After.

RWBY

Ren is a young man with long black hair that ends midway down his back. There is a magenta streak on the left side of his hair. His eyes match the streak in his hair, and his clothing often appears to be influenced by Chinese culture.

As a young child, Ren was much more cheerful and even a bit sassy according to his mother. He was also shown to be very naive, not understanding how to use Lien or thinking that he could buy sake. He also was easily frightened, as shown when the bullies looked at him and he was about to run away.
Ren is usually mellow and wishes for peace and quiet, much like Blake Belladonna . He seems very much in control of himself, as shown by his calm and deliberate response to the appearance of a King Taijitu . He is unbothered by Nora Valkyrie's bubbly and contrasting personality, showing a great deal of patience when dealing with his hyperactive, happy-go-lucky childhood friend.
Ren is also shown to be quite studious, as seen in " Welcome to Beacon ", in which he openly agrees with Neptune Vasilias as to how libraries should be only for reading. Likewise, he is well informed about villages in between kingdoms, such as when he informs Ruby Rose about Higanbana in " Family ". However, this is not to say that he is completely humorless. He is slightly playful after finding Nora in the Emerald Forest , during the events of " The Emerald Forest ". This is also shown when he and Nora were debating over team names in " The Next Step ". Ren is also indicated to be a bit of a cook, as he makes pancakes for the team in " Forever Fall, Pt.2 " and is seen fixing dinner alongside Ruby in " Known by its Song ". However, not everything he cooks is well received, as the nutrition drink he prepared in " Destiny " made Nora ill even though he drank it with no problems.
In " Remembrance ", Ren is more solemn than his teammates are about the destruction of Shion Village. His advice is to keep moving forward. This is something he repeats with a bit of angry emphasis in " Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back " when Ruby suggests going to the destroyed town of Kuroyuri in search of abandoned medical supplies. Being one of the few survivors of the Grimm massacre of that town manifests itself in Ren's less-than-calm emotions.
In " No Safe Haven ", Ren reveals a much more reckless and vindictive side to him previously unseen, when he lets out all of his anger against the Nuckelavee in an attempt to avenge his parents and all of its other victims. This is a stark contrast to his usual calm and patience. During the Nuckelavee's execution by his hand, Ren seems to finally come to terms with his trauma, calmly and swiftly delivering justice for his family, the monster's victims and for himself. Following this, Ren seems to have finally come full circle, being more open with his emotions, particularly his feelings towards Nora.
Since then, Ren has become more noticeably conversational, vocal about his opinions and is known to speak somewhat philosophically.
After arriving in Atlas, Ren is shown to be struggling with some heavy emotional stuff [6] and his relationship with Nora turns for the worse when he ignores her affections for him during their first mission in Atlas. He becomes more focused on training and going on missions and admits to Nora that he has a hard time expressing his feelings. Before chaos breaks out in " A Night Off ", he is kissed by Nora and reciprocates, indicating his feelings towards her. However, after this, he becomes colder when he accepts Ironwood's order to arrest Robyn and find out who Tyrian is working for.
Later during the events of " The Enemy of Trust ", Ren is shown to have trouble with sorting out his romantic feelings for Nora, as seen when he was caught off guard by Neopolitan's usage of Nora's physical appearance to make Ren hesitate, causing him to start crying while he escaped alongside his team. Later on, Ren is seen taking out his frustrations on the real Nora due to losing the Lamp and almost hurting "Nora" earlier. As a result, he began raising his voice at her to the point where Jaune Arc had to stop him, showing that Ren still retains his temper and inability to contain or restrain it due to the immense pressure of what's at stake. The writers have stated that despite his attitude change that he still cares about Nora, even if he doesn't always communicate it well. [7]
In " Divide ", Ren chooses to go with Yang's Group to defend Mantle due to his more practical mindset, believing that he should take action for the immediate benefit of the people in front of them rather than investing in Ruby's plan to warn all of Remnant about Salem . [8]
After Oscar Pine is captured by The Hound and Ren is forced to chase after him and save Yang Xiao Long and Jaune in " Fault ", Ren begins to feel like he is carrying the rest of the group and adds to his resentment he displays later. [9] After they fail to rescue Oscar, he lashes out at Yang, believing that they weren't ready to be Huntsmen yet and stating that they are way in over their heads. He also lashed out at Jaune and accuses him of cheating his way into Beacon but seems to regret saying it right after.
Later in " War ", after Harriet Bree states that teammates are replaceable, he vehemently protests, allowing his Semblance to evolve further and let him see the emotional states of the Ace-Ops . Because of this, Ren saw his own turmoil in the Ace-Ops and began to realize that his recent team fell apart due to similar problems the Ace-Ops started having after they stopped working like a functional team. [10]
After his Semblance evolves, Ren stopped suppressing his own emotions and became friendlier again with his teammates. Due to seeing Jaune's confidence, Ren's own confidence was boosted after his morale had taken a hit due to earlier events. [11]
He reveals to Nora in " Risk " that the reason for his change in personality during Volume 7 and Volume 8 was that he thought that by shutting everything else out that he could focus on the situation at hand, only to realize that he was just making things worse for everyone around him.


RWBY

Ren's Dream Actor was very similar to the original Ren, with a different outfit, He wore a traditional Asian bright green trench coat, white baggy pants and black boots. In addition, he sometimes wore a jingasa in both the first and second reset of the Dreamscape.

Ren's Dream Actor version didn't have much personality to him, being only able to make kitten noises from his cell, and didn't seem capable of much outside of that. In " Dreams Come Rued ", after being freed from his prison, he was capable of talking and gains a desire for freedom.

She is also very cunning and devious, deliberately keeping Cinder in the dark about information she has on hand in hopes of doing business with anyone seeking Cinder herself. This strategic mind is touched on in RWBY: Roman Holiday , as it was what allowed her to become the second most powerful person in Mistral and take over Spider.
Lil' Miss is an intimidating presence, commanding every room she is in, to the point where even Roman Torchwick was afraid of talking back to her. She was also ruthless, as shown by the implication she ordered a hit on her own husband, having him killed.
Nonetheless, there were positive sides to her personality. Lil' Miss truly loved her daughters, Melanie and Miltia, as seen by when she had the two protected during a gang war between Spider and The Mouse and Parrot and was furious that Roman would endanger them for his own game. This is further evidenced by the fact that she would send her daughters to Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls to train to become more skilled and with how she entrusted them with her plans. Melanie would specifically take after her mother.
Ultimately, Lil' Miss values information and loyalty over money, which is part of the reason she is as successful as she was.

Lisa is a pale-skinned woman with gold-brownish eyes and pale white hair with purple hues at the tips.
Her reporter outfit consists of a black suit jacket with a purple collared dress shirt underneath.

Lisa Lavender presents herself as a professional reporter while on camera for the Vale News Network, recounting recent events in a largely dry tone, with emphasis added to more dramatic words.
Off camera, Lisa demonstrates a more playful demeanor. When Roman Torchwick contacts her to give her a massive scoop, she toys with the criminal to draw out the conversation so that the police can trace the source of the call, which is a tactic she easily admits to Torchwick when he questions her attitude.
She is impartial and will accept information from anyone, provided they have sufficient evidence, even wanted criminals.
Lisa is receptive to and greatly appreciates compliments, as is demonstrated when she remembers to thank Torchwick for the flowers he had sent to her months earlier for her reporting on his crimes.
Lisa is a graduate of Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy for Girls, which is likely where she learned many of the talents that would serve her well as a reporter. Despite this, she had no loyalties to her former school. After learning of the academy's criminal elements and spy network she quickly disposes of her triskelion pin [1] and uses the information Torchwick had provided to ruin the reputation of its headmistress , ultimately forcing the school's closure.

They were the embodiment of Weiss' childhood self. They took the appearance of child Weiss which consisted of a little blue dress with a white collar shirt and long sleeves, white tights, and little blue shoes. In addition, they wore a white poncho with red inside.

Maria is an elderly woman with dark skin and long silver hair, which she wears in a single braid down her back. She is of small stature and appears to be hunched over, requiring the use of a walking stick. However, it is shown that she can walk without it.
She wears a full-length dress in the traditional Tabasco style, consisting of a dark blue top with full sleeves and skirt comprised of alternating light and dark blue layers. In addition to her dress, she wears thick brown gloves and a heavy blue cloak trimmed at the edges with a pattern of white, hollow triangles on a light blue background. A similar white and blue trim is around the neck of the cloak. The cloak is secured to her shoulders with ornate white pauldrons.
Maria's eyes were slashed out by Tock , and she requires goggle-like prosthetic eyes to see. The prosthesis is dark gray with cyan colored lenses, each of which is equipped with a set of adjustable shutters capable of mimicking natural expressions. Four rectangular cyan lights create a partial ring on the outer bottom edge of the eyes, while a single cyan nodule on the top outer edge overlaps slightly with each lens. Two small antennae protrude vertically from the upper left side of the prosthesis. On the upper right is a port that allows for the attachment of a wireless receiver, allowing Maria to directly receive data from equipment.
As a young woman Maria was very beautiful, she had shoulder-length black ash hair, silver eyes , and was much taller. She wore an ornate skull mask that all but completely concealed her face, revealing only her lower jaw. She wore a laced waist-cincher over a long blue tunic with a dark gray hemline that fell over a dark teal skirt that also had the same gray hem. The tunic opens in a 'v' to reveal an off-white folded collar. The long sleeves are also cinched just above the elbows. All three cinches and the hem are the same dark gray as the hooded cloak Maria also wore. Her boots were dark brown. In addition, she wore a dark blue skull necklace.

In her youth, Maria displayed a cocky sort of daring and recklessness in her fight against the Grimm as seen when she fearlessly leaped on top of a giant Nevermore and rode it all the way down while she was trying to kill it. According to Maria, when she was first starting out as a Huntsman she often used a flashy style of combat and in her own words admitted that she prone to showing off. A habit which she now greatly regrets as she believes her father would've been disappointed in her behavior. Her growing reputation as "The Grimm Reaper" may have also gone to her head as when she was confronted by Tock , she questioned if the mercenary leader realized who she was suggesting that she had begun to believe herself untouchable. This cockiness and presumptuousness would go on to cost her greatly in her fight with Tock resulting in the loss of her eyes.
In the present day, Maria has become older, smarter and more experienced. This personal growth, combined with her Semblance Preflexes , which allows her to predict when something is going to happen before it does, makes her a far more formidable foe then she was in her youth and she's no longer willing to take any unnecessary chances in her fights.
She is rather energetic and nonchalant in spite of her advanced age, allowing serious events such as the train's derailment to roll off her shoulders as if they were nothing. She greets the heroes with friendly banter but easily takes offense to those who call her "defenseless" and "old". However, she is well aware of her current limitations, berating herself for not realizing the threat of the Apathy sooner.
Maria is shown to be sound-minded when tension rises, as shown when everyone becomes discouraged after Ozpin ceases leading the group. This trait is further shown when Maria orders Team RWBY to flee without hesitation once the Apathy appear. However, she is not above being petty, snide, and callous, as shown by her interactions with Caroline Cordovin .
After her flashback in " The Grimm Reaper ", Maria states her deep regret over not doing more for the world, even going so far as calling herself "a disappointment." She warns the group not to strive to become like her, a fallen hero who lost the will to fight after she lost her eyes, showing a degree of bitterness and self-loathing over her own fears. Despite her shortcomings, she repeatedly shows a high level of faith in the current generation. Additionally, despite her abilities and skills, she preferred to go under an alias during her Huntress days and believes deeply in the beauty of life and its protection.


RWBY

Marrow is a young male Faunus with long greenish-black hair tied in a bun and blue eyes. His trait is a dark gray canine tail.
Marrow wears an Atlesian Specialist uniform that consists of a white double-breasted coat with silver buttons, dark blue accents, collar, shoulder flaps with matching cuffs that have two silver buttons. The coat's tail splits, allowing Marrow's tail to move freely. He has a dark blue belt with a silver buckle around his waist with a dark blue pouch on the right side. He has a red ascot tied around his neck. Marrow wears a red shirt under his coat. He wears dark blue trousers tucked into his black knee-high boots.

Marrow is described as mischievous in personality, having been kicked out of an undisclosed place at least three times in the past. As the novice member of the Ace-Ops, he is also the most naive and childish of the group, having to be 'babysat' by Harriet Bree .
A large aspect of Marrow's motivation to have become a Huntsman in the past was that many said he couldn't. [6] However, beating those odds, Marrow was able to rise to the top of the ranks, becoming an Ace-Op. He was originally extremely appreciative and humbled by James Ironwood for being brought in as a part of the most elite group of Huntsmen in Atlas, being well aware of the social and racial tensions between Atlas and Faunus and how rare it is for his kind to be placed in such a role. [7]
Marrow is unable to hide his emotions, in part due to his tail which often gives his true feelings away, and as such tends to try and hide his emotions by putting up a tough act or by using humor to misdirect them. Marrow is well-versed in the issues with abuse of the Faunus in Atlas, but is not "looking to solve systemic societal issues." He is shown to have a snarky streak, especially when dealing with the Happy Huntresses or Ruby's Group , quickly becoming tired of their naive attitude. Additionally, Marrow is shown to be easily startled, nervously correcting himself after angering Yang Xiao Long , or recoiling and grabbing his tail protectively after Weiss Schnee accidentally startled him while fighting Grimm .
Marrow was originally extremely loyal to Ironwood, defending his actions from May Marigold . Despite having a negative outlook on the Happy Huntresses, Marrow is not heartless, showing horror and fear over Tyrian Callows' massacre at Robyn Hill's election party, later being regretful he couldn't stop it. He is shown to take his job seriously, quickly becoming annoyed at other's immaturity despite his own naivety.
Similar to Blake Belladonna , Marrow's Faunus trait gives him other aspects of a dog, such as wagging his tail. Another example of that side was shown in " Sparks " when he begged to Jaune Arc to give him his coffee by staring at him with a pleading expression, exactly like a dog does when begging for its owner to give it food and his tail reacting and giving away his emotions.
However, after Ironwood declared martial law, Marrow began showing discomfort with his position and the orders he was given. In " Gravity ", Marrow had a look of sorrow after being ordered by Ironwood to arrest Team RWBY , in stark contrast to the rest of the Ace-Ops' look of determination. Marrow was noticeably shown to have the most hesitance to fight and hurt them, having attempted to stop his teammates and Team RWBY from fighting each other, and later attempted to talk down Weiss from fighting him and "let it go." Even after being berated by Harriet, Marrow still refused to use excessive force and stated he was trying to arrest them, not kill them. When Ironwood killed Sleet in " Divide ", Marrow showed complete shock.
In " War ", after Ren evolves his Semblance , he realizes that Marrow is the member of the Ace-Ops that was the most conflicted with the situation saying "In fact, you don't want to be a part of it at all anymore." However, he stated that he had a job to do, implying that he was only doing it as a member of the military by that point.
In " Witch ", he is visibly upset at seeing Team FNKI on the front lines, stating that they were "just kids". He also confronts Winter Schnee about her plan to detonate a bomb inside Monstra before Yang's team returns, asking her if she would proceed if Weiss was inside Monstra, and if she's willing to inform Weiss that she caused her friends' deaths. While Winter seemingly responded to him similarly to Ironwood, she showed more warmth when addressing him to show she wasn't thinking like Ironwood was. Because of this, Marrow's change of mind was delayed for a little longer. [8]
By the time of " Risk ", Marrow's discomfort reached its breaking point when he refused to keep going along with Ironwood's extreme plans, yelling that he believed in him but he had chosen to throw everything away while arguing with his teammates if they actually believe in anything themselves. He then stated that he used to wear his rank with pride but now he saw it as a collar. After he attempted to leave and Ironwood prepared to kill him, Winter saved him by pretending to arrest him and agreed that they had to stop Ironwood but Marrow was still mad at her for hitting him in the process.
Once Marrow helps Ruby's Group out, he was willing to use his Freeze Semblance on his former teammates to stop them from getting in the way of evacuating the Kingdom. Once Arthur Watts hacked an Atlesian Knight-200 and tried to detonate it close to Qrow Branwen and Robyn Hill, he took the blow from the explosion to save them. After Harriet tried to bomb Mantle herself Marrow helped Qrow, Robyn, Elm Ederne and Vine Zeki try to stop her and manage to get through to her.
Marrow also doesn't like to drink Grape Soda, instead preferring to drink Oolong Tea. [9]


RWBY

Marton is a tall heavy-set man, dark-skinned man with long dirty blonde hair. He wears goggles over his eyes, and a maroon coat beneath a dark brown shoulder cape.

Marton, like the rest of his Team, was okay with working with a criminal organization like the Wave if it meant that they got paid in the end. While working for the Wave, Matrton acted like extra security for them like guarding their convoys containing magic artifacts from Team SAFR.
Marton was also okay with using violence on Daff to threaten Team SAFR and later blowing up the side of a mountain to kill them.
Despite working for the Wave, Marton and his Team had no real loyalty to them and left Lemon to fend for herself after they took one of her magic artifacts and used it to teleport off her stolen ship.

Mata is a tall, tanned, muscular young man with short dark hair and peach eyes. He wears a plain white shirt, peach cargo pants and black sneakers. His Faunus trait heritage appears to be that of a sheep, possessing two horns on each side of his head.

Mata appears at first to be surprisingly timid and reluctant for his size, as seen when Sun Wukong attempts to recruit him. Despite this, he is the first person to declare help in defending Haven Academy from the White Fang after the incident at the Belladonna Family Home , showing courage and desire to stop the unnecessary bloodshed. This is further shown when pleading with a White Fang member to cease their actions.

She also wears dark brown shorts alongside matching forearm length gloves.
May wears gray armor padding over her forearms and the backs of her hands. Alongside a pair of gray thigh socks and dark brown thigh-high boots and an orange scarf.

May has a direct and confrontational personality, being described as the "least happy" of the Happy Huntresses, and having a no-nonsense attitude. She appears to want to bring honor to the Marigold name. [5]
May appears to show both distrust and utter disdain towards the military, being shown to have no qualms against adopting an aggressive attitude towards Atlesian personnel such as Marrow Amin . However, around the Happy Huntresses, May shows a more positive side to her personality, being supportive of Robyn's political aspirations and displaying loyalty towards her, to the point of being willing to use both legal and illegal means to accomplish her goals. She is also friendly to Ruby's Group , nonchalantly and playfully joking with the group.

Melanie is a teenage girl with long black hair with a straight fringe that covers her eyebrows and pale green eyes, highlighted by the use of heavy cyan makeup.
She wears an off white, strapless dress that graduates to a cyan towards the skirt, it has a cyan layered feathery tulle that hangs longer than the dress and a small bow in the top center part of the dress.
Melanie wears a pair of white thigh-high boots with red lace-up detailing. Melanie's Blades are fitted to the rear of her boots, seemingly connected to the heels. Twin silver chains run from the back of the boots connecting to a layer armored piece on the fronts of the boots. She wears cyan stockings under her boots with lace-trimmed tops that peek above the boots and garter straps that supposedly connect to her underwear. She sports a pair of white forearm length gloves with cyan lace detailing running from wrist to forearm accompanied by a silver vambrace on her left forearm.

As members of Spider, she and her sister have Spider tattoos somewhere on their bodies.
Under Spider, both of the Malachite twins wore matching uniforms – purple halter tops, black cut-off shorts, and mid-calf boots.

Melanie is strong-willed and confident. She stands and acts in an arrogant manner, even after seeing Yang's fighting abilities. Melanie is particularly clever, pulling much of her personality from her mother, Lil' Miss Malachite , with a penchant for understanding the crime underworld of Remnant even at 13, being more knowledgeable than Roman Torchwick who was nearly twice her age at the time.
As a student of Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls , she was taught mannerisms and social etiquette, fitting into both lower and upper class society. Melanie and Miltia enjoyed pulling pranks on others, and both shared a hobby in clubbing.
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.


RWBY

In Mercury's first appearance in "Black and White", he is shown to be a pale, young man with gray eyes and gray hair, partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. The World of RWBY: The Official Companion describes Mercury as a "skinny guy" and is stated to be in the age range of a Huntsman Academy student.
He has prosthetic legs that attach part-way up his thighs. These legs are usually hidden from view due to him wearing pants and a pair of shoes. Mercury possesses an athletic yet slim physique measuring 178cm tall (5'10") when he first arrives at Beacon Academy , which later on further develops to 188cm tall (6'2").

In " Best Day Ever ", Mercury is shown to be rather care-free and jokes around when in the company of Emerald Sustrai , who he makes an effort to annoy. He seems to opt for excitement and action; he dislikes books without pictures and tells Emerald he finds the city boring. However, when it comes to matters at hand, Mercury displays a sense of seriousness and levelheadedness. However, his carefree attitude may occasionally slip out during combat, such as when he taunted Ruby Rose during both their encounters once he got the advantage. Based on his fight with Pyrrha Nikos , he appears to test and gauge his opponent before fully committing to an attack, showing he has a strategic mind and cunning.
Mercury also seems to derive personal enjoyment from the pain of other people, showing no qualms about intimidating and killing others, even light-heartedly joking about it afterward with Emerald. Although subtle, he also speaks in a derogatory fashion about Tukson even after having murdered him in cold blood.
Despite his usual carefree demeanor, in " The Next Step ", it is shown that Mercury does not take insults or disrespect well, responding to Arthur Watts' insults with an eagerness to attack him until Emerald stops him. He is usually outspoken, but when he is with Salem's Inner Circle, he refrains from speaking. This was shown again in " Lost " when he lashed out at and attacked Tyrian Callows when the latter mocked him for being a child that feels like a "big bad man" and correctly assuming all Mercury knows in life are pain and violence, condescendingly calling his life "such a tragedy". Unlike Emerald, Mercury also realizes that Cinder Fall never truly cared for him and that in the end, their relationship was purely business. Despite this, he was very compliant with her orders.
Mercury carries an immense bitterness within him due to his abusive upbringing by his assassin father, Marcus Black . This bitterness holds over due to the fact that Marcus used his Semblance to steal Mercury's, which he said would return if Mercury became strong enough, which he proved the moment he killed his father. This turned out to be a lie, and Mercury feels as though he has had to work harder than any other member of Salem's Inner Circle due to his stolen Semblance. His father abused him physically and emotionally and that he used to constantly beat him up and call it "training" while telling him that he was weak and relying on crutches, making it obvious he suffered a miserable upbringing filled with hate and misery. In the same episode, Tyrian later alludes that the only reason Mercury is on their side is because of Marcus' influence and that he is now too afraid to leave the few things he knows: pain and violence.
Despite his demeanor, Mercury does indeed possess a sense of camaraderie. This is seen in his relationship with Emerald, where after Yang Xiao Long had come up with the Relic of Knowledge and assuming Cinder had perished, he had helped an emotionally distraught Emerald to get her back on her feet and escape with him and Hazel when it became apparent that the odds were no longer in their favor.
In "Midnight", Mercury again attempted to get Emerald to understand Cinder's selfishness and lack of genuine care for her after the two returned from disobeying Salem 's orders, implying that he was worried for her being potentially dragged down with Cinder and punished by Salem or killed.
In " War ", after Emerald goes to Mercury about what she learned concerning Salem's true goal, Mercury tries to dissuade her from going against Salem in order to prevent herself from getting killed. However, after hearing Tyrian casually confirm that Salem's goals are indeed to destroy all of Remnant, he is shown to visibly unnerved. Later upon leaving to Vacuo, he returns her worry by nodding his head to her in goodbye.
In the “ Volume 9 Bonus Ending Animatic “, Mercury has become increasingly unsure of his actions following the revelation from Tyrian that Salem intends to destroy Remnant , as during their break out of Gillian Asturias and Jax Asturias , Mercury was notably distraught.


RWBY

Merlot was an elderly man with disheveled gray hair, a matching mustache and beard and prominent eyebrows. His left eye is robotic and glows red and around it were noticeable claw marks, likely from his Grimm experiments. His right arm was also robotic and was dark and metallic and has red inner circuits.
He wears a light gray jacket with a high collar and a red shirt underneath. On each sleeve of the jacket is a dark gray hexagon shape.

Merlot is portrayed as a smug and overly confident man who believes even Grimm , the most powerful creatures can be controlled to make the world better for humanity.
He is implied to have a mild god complex as he firmly believes that nature and evolution has failed to perfect the Grimm and that his science can fix its failures, with his theme song even having him call himself the "god of the Grimm".
In addition to his obsession with the Grimm, Merlot was also fascinated by the concept of Artificial Intelligence and was able to construct at least two advanced series of androids which he would use to defend his island from trespassers'.
His research appears to be the only motivating factor in his life. This is best shown by his reaction when Ozpin brings up the destruction of Mountain Glenn . Merlot fully admits that the events of Mountain Glenn were a regrettable tragedy for everyone involved but feels that the destruction of his research was the greatest sacrifice. This shows that Merlot has a very "ends justify the means" mentality.
Throughout the game, Merlot is shown to possess an almost eerie calm and rational demeanor, never outwardly showing any signs of anger towards RWBY or JNPR for destroying his research with even Pyrrha noting that he’s being much too nice to them given the circumstances. The only time he seems to truly lose his temper is when they defeat his ultimate mutant Grimm and even then, he gives them plenty of time to escape his laboratory before blowing the building up.
He also seems to have a sarcastic sense of humor, as he recites mocking emulations of a public address system at Team RWBY and Ozpin and refers to the former as "visitors" while they're invading his laboratory.


RWBY

Miltia is a teenage girl with short black bob style hair with a straight fringe and pale green eyes, highlighted by heavy red makeup. She wears a red strapless dress that is patterned with newspaper articles with the headings "A New York la pop art di Alborghetti", "Amity Arena", and "New York Fine Art".
Her dress has black and dark red lace layered tulle that hangs down more than the dress. She has an off-centred bow belt around her waist and wears a pair of red thigh-high boots with black heels and soles alongside white lace-up detail. Twin silver chains run round from the back of the boots connecting to layer armor plating on the front of her boots. She wears lacy black stockings that peek out over the top of her boots accompanied by black garter straps that supposedly connect to her underwear.
Miltia sports a pair of black fingerless forearm length gloves with red lining around the tips of the fingers. Her gloves sport a newspaper design similar to her dress running from the backs of her hands to her forearms with a light brown frill trim peeking out of the ends. Miltia's Weapon sits over her gloves.
Her accessories include a large long wing-like red feather and two short white feathers above her left ear and a short black fur shrug held by four beaded chains with a white gemstone in the centre.
As members of Spider, she and her sister have Spider tattoos somewhere on their bodies.
Under Spider, both of the Malachite twins wore matching uniforms – purple halter tops, black cut-off shorts, and mid-calf boots.

Unlike her sister's more clever personality, Miltia isn't as clever or knowledgeable about the world. 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.
As a student of Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls , she was taught mannerisms and social etiquette, fitting into both lower and upper class society. Melanie and Miltia enjoyed pulling pranks on others, and both shared a hobby in clubbing. Miltia enjoyed watching television as well.
She also seems to have high standards when it comes to boys. When Neptune greets them, she, along with her sister show their disdain, walking away and saying "whatever" in unison.

Mina is a tall and spindly woman who wears a helmet that covers her face. She has black hair and wears purple clothes with silver armor. Underneath her helmet, she is revealed to be a Faunus with long elongated fangs heavily implied to be a rare arachnid type. [1]

Mina, like the rest of her team, was okay with working for a criminal organization like the Wave if it meant that they got paid in the end. She was also okay with using violence on Daff to threaten Team SAFR and later blow up the side of a mountain to kill them.
While working for the Wave, she was shown to be quite the actress when she disguised herself as a reporter using her last name to infiltrate Javi Pastel's mansion. She also acted as extra security for their convoys carrying Magic artifacts when Team SAFR attacked them.
Despite working for the Wave, Mina and her team had no real loyalty to them as they left Lemon to fend for herself after stealing one of their magic artifacts for themselves and used it to teleport off Lemon's stolen ship.

RWBY

Nebula has lightly tanned skin, indigo hair brushed over to her left side and olive eyes. She wears a high-necked, tight-fitting gray shirt with dark gray accents, along with a long, lilac coat with one long sleeve with the other rolled up. She also wears a leather bandolier with a steel gray pauldron on the right shoulder, which also appears to hold her weapon. She wears a slanted dark gray belt on the second notch alongside a breastplate that matches her pauldron. She wears gray pants with dark gray boots with light gray laces alongside dark gray forearm length gloves with the left glove being fingerless and having a cuff. She also has a dark gray band around her right elbow with a smaller band on her upper left arm.

As one of Shade's Vacuan students, Nebula was one of the greatest critics of the other schools , unimpressed by their failures to protect Haven Academy and Beacon Academy , thus choosing to torment them about it. Nebula is brash and quick to taunt her enemies, being particularly resentful towards non-Vacuans. However, she is also perceptive and sensible enough to stop fighting once she knows her enemies are defeated.
During the Vytal Festival, prior to her team's match against team SSSN, Nebula stands with a calm, collected but overall confident posture. She gives team SSSN a respectful smile once they formally meet. When Neptune Vasilias attempts to flirt with her and the rest of her team, Nebula reacts with embarrassment rather than with anger or disgust. When the ocean biome of the Amity Arena is selected, Nebula is shown to be shocked at the revelation of Neptune's fear of water.
Nebula has dubious morality, having no qualms letting Octavia Ember use children as bait for the Grimm despite potential injuries. She is also a coward, having fled the Battle of Beacon with her team, under the excuse that it was a lost cause to fight.
She also enjoys combat, displaying she enjoyed combat more when it is more challenging, such as when she went to face Scarlet David during her one-on-one fight during their teams' match in the Vytal Festival. In Before the Dawn, she is shown to enjoy combat when it becomes easier for herself. She also states she'd been waiting for a chance to fight and beat down on Velvet Scarlatina .


RWBY

Negative Blake looked nearly identical to the real Blake except she has purple hair backing and wears an attire similar to that of her ex-partner, Adam Taurus . It consists of a single red vine design with white three leaf flower on the left shoulder of a black long sleeved  jacket that has dark red lined twin tails. She wears a dark red wrapped top under the jacket alongside black hot pants, humanoid paws with black fur and claws as well as black furred cat tail. She sports thigh length black stockings that have thick black fur cuffs around the ankles, and  red heels and metal pieces that form three claw like pieces. In addition, she wears a Grimm mask with more detail in red markings and four slits for vision.

Negative Blake's personality and the way she speaks were based on Adam. She was angry, vengeful, and strongly hated the Schnee family. She was shown to be very observant and was able to call out the hypocrisy of others like Negative Weiss's flaw beliefs. Because of this hatred, she was even willing to attack Weiss Schnee even after she was freed from the Nightmare .
After the real Blake used her last coin to wake herself up and leave her body, Negative Blake became emotionless and had a sole purpose to serve the Nightmare against Team RWBY.


RWBY

Negative Weiss was identical to the real Weiss except she lacked a scar on her left eye, wore her ponytail center and paler skin. She wore an Atlas Military uniform that consisted of a skin-fitted short sleeveless white dress that fastened on the right side, with a hexagonal cut out on the bust alongside several black straps. She had a white short cape that is attached to the dress. She also wore a grey mesh top underneath that has a black snowflake styled design visible through the dress' cutout and the mesh sleeves were mostly covered with white sleeves that had a black strap on the trim. Weiss also sported a flowing white trench coat cape decorated with various black thorn-like and snowflake designs which she wore draped over her shoulders, light gray tights, and white high-heel pumps. In addition, she carried around sky blue sunglasses and wore a white kepi with black visor on her head. Upon being woken up and replaced with Weiss, she lost her kepi and gained her scar over her eye from the real world.

Negative Weiss was a cold, stoic, and fascistic person representing Weiss' worst traits. She was never seen smiling and always had either a calm or angry composure. She strongly feared every Faunus and was complacent in their suffering and saw the White Fang as Grimm-like monsters in her nightmare. Like Weiss, despite being a heartless person, Nega-Weiss did care for her teammates Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long as her precious friends, and even Blake Belladonna with her conflicting feelings on her status as a Faunus. Because of this, however, she wanted to lock them up as a result so as to ensure their protection. She was also willing to protect the Nightmare Grimm despite the danger it placed herself in.
Nega-Weiss also saw the people of Atlas differently from each other like how she saw the upper class and her mother as shadow figures that only watch over the people and don't interact with them while the workers in the city appear more human than them. She also saw the rest of her family differently from their real versions, such as her butler who appeared in different forms throughout the dream with each one representing one of his personalities, her brother whom she saw as a bat due to regarding him as a pest, her sister whom she saw as a book to look up to for guidance, and her father who appeared as an ominous figure that always watched over Weiss while reminding her to live up to Big Nicholas .
In “ Where You Belong ”, Nega-Weisz became an extremist and lost what little humanity she had left, going so far as to capture all of the Sillies and forcefully putting them back in their place, as well as banishing Yang and Blake to the outside of the kingdom. On top of it, she was also willing to destroy the two relics to prevent the real Weiss from ever waking up.
In “ Mirror of Darkness “, Nega-Weiss appeared to have some standards, as when Negative Blake accused her of abusing and murdering Faunus, it left her in shock. Offended by her words, she claimed that she was not a murderer, nor does she hate all Faunus. However, she was shown to be hypocritical as well as despite her claim of not hating Faunus, as she has no problem with banishing them from her home and her previous actions to Blake. She also falsely blamed Nega-Blake and the White Fang for Big Nicholas ' destruction, when it was actually Yang who destroyed it, though she had no way of knowing that at the time.
In “ Light in Shadows ”, Nega-Weiss had a moment of realization and identity crisis upon realizing she became the very thing she hated.


RWBY

Neon is a young girl with a light complexion. She has sea green eyes and moderate red-orange hair with light blue streaks in her bangs. As a feline Faunus , Neon's physical trait is that of a cat tail covered with pink fur that becomes lighter toward the tip.

Neon has an extremely bubbly and hyperactive personality. She seems to take great joy in provoking her opponents, immediately mockingly mimicking Yang's speech and attacking her for her weight and appearance, despite the fact that- aside from her large breasts- Yang is built the same as all of the other girls in her age group- minus the fact that Yang is taller than most of them. In battle, she retains this attitude, taunting her enemies, making silly faces at them, and cracking puns that even Yang does not appreciate. However, once beaten, she does respect her opponents, calling Yang and Weiss "super crazy awesome" and asking them to party sometime.
In the Volume 9 Bonus Ending Animatic , Neon is shown to be protective, defending an orphaned boy from disgruntled Vacuan citizens and showing concern over Nora Valkyrie's sustained injuries from the events of the Fall of Atlas.


RWBY

Neo, themed after Neapolitan ice cream, had the appropriate trio of colors in her hair and on her outfit. While sometimes altered via illusion for disguise, her hair color was typically half pink and half brown, with white streaks on the pink side. As of Volume 6, Neo's hair was also styled differently. It was noticeably thicker with a slight wave to it along with shorter bangs and missing her white streaks. The white streaks appeared as an emotional reaction to her parents' deaths in Roman Holiday . [11]
Neo's natural eye color changed between brown, pale pink, and white, and they could alternate coloration in differing combinations, with this ability apparently being entirely under her control. Neo appeared to have a condition known as heterochromia iridum , where the eyes of a subject have two different colors. In her case, it was complete heterochromia, where one iris in its entirety was a different color from the other. During her childhood, her left eye was pink, and her right eye was brown. [12] In Volume 3, she was seen wearing green eyeshadow, starting with her paramedic disguise.
Despite being in her twenties by the start of RWBY, Neo was also rather diminutive in stature, compared to the rest of the main cast, including Ruby Rose, as shown in the height chart presented by Monty Oum . This was demonstrated in " No Brakes ", when she stood up against Yang Xiao Long , as Neo was only able to reach her chin despite wearing high heels.

Unlike Roman Torchwick , who appeared as a cold and calculating career criminal, Neo was a more unstable unpredictable dangerous killer.
Neo was a mute who cannot speak [12] and as such communicated purely through body language, miming, or text messages. She had been mute since birth.
Neo was stated to be cruel, vicious, and sadistic, as seen in her smile as she prepared to stab Yang in "No Brakes", as well as in " Round One " when she proceeded to brutally stomp on her opponents face with a cruel smile despite him being physically unable to continue their match. [13] However, she did seem to exhibit fear and hesitance when she knew she was outmatched, fleeing if her opponent proved to be as such. This could be seen when Raven Branwen appeared and engaged her on the White Fang cargo train. She was rather perceptive and was able to recognize superior abilities to her own, despite her confidence. Neo was also seen to have a vengeful side by her attempt to kill Cinder Fall in "The Coming Storm" for her part in Roman Torchwick's death, only stopping when she revealed her Maiden powers.
Neo was highly determined when she set her mind to a task, often dealing with any problems presented to her efficiently and competently. During her battle against Team JNPR , Neo took notice of Lie Ren's protectiveness of Nora Valkyrie and took advantage of that by transforming into her using her Semblance to make him hesitate. She also used Emerald Sustrai and Hazel Rainarts's escape as a cover to steal the Relic of Knowledge and skip away in the dust cloud created from Monstra's explosion.
Additionally, she was extremely ruthless, easily turning to murder as a means of achieving her goals and often doing so with a playful demeanor. In " Worthy ", she alongside Cinder and Arthur Watts massacred the people stationed at the Atlas Command Center . [14]
Neo possessed a desire to be validated whenever she accomplishes a task, as well as to be treated as an equal by a partner or superior. She was happy with working with Roman, as he often acknowledged her for completing a job. However, while working for Cinder, she was irritated by her lack of recognition or respect towards her. She was further angered when Cinder took the Relic of Knowledge from her without a word of gratitude and failed to give her credit for successfully stealing the Relic, as well as taking credit for her accomplishments to redeem herself before Salem . These actions eventually resulted in her going against Cinder's orders for her own wishes.
Neo was extremely loyal to Roman and very close with him. She willingly carried out his demands and he was the only one she did not show contempt towards. Likewise, Roman never got upset with Neo like he did with others, and they were very proficient in wordlessly coordinating attacks. Neo was shown to be devastated after his death, and wears Roman's hat in memory of him. She is solely driven by a need to exact revenge for what happened to him and has gone to near suicidal lengths to do so, including facing Cinder alone. Neo had a previously lonely life until she met Roman, and after his death her life returned to said state. This is illustrated by her disheveled appearance in "The Coming Storm".
Later, Neo took fights slightly more seriously becoming even more sadistic, cruel, and merciless than before. Previously, during her V2 fight with Yang, Neo toyed with her before knocking the girl unconscious and afterwards unsheathing Hush. Similarly, in her V3 fight against Ruby, Neo opted not to use her sword to fight, and later used it to threaten Ruby, which ultimately turned out to be her undoing when she used Hush to send her flying. Comparatively, in current fights, while she continued to mock her opponents, Neo used her blade more frequently and is shown dispatching foes much more quickly and not dragging out finishing moves any longer than necessary. It's implied that this notable change in behavior may be a result either of her perceived feelings of guilt for having failed Roman when he needed her the most, frustration at all of the constant delays towards avenging him, growing fed-up with all of the ridiculous situations she's found herself in or even a combination of all three.
In RWBY: Roman Holiday , it is shown that Neo was abused by her father and mother for not being the perfect child, due to her inability to speak, heterochromia, and unruly behavior. She had an imaginary friend named "Neopolitan", who she subconsciously used as a scapegoat to take the blame for her own rebellious desires that she had externalized. This was due to her parents simultaneously punishing her for her wants while not taking them seriously, as well as her loneliness and desire to be free—"Neopolitan" was everything Trivia had wanted to be.
Eventually, Trivia realized that "Neopolitan" was an externalization of her own desires—that she and "Neopolitan" were one and the same. All the violently lashing out at those who wronged her, rule-breaking and illegal activities, taunting, freedom and danger "Neopolitan" had pursued was just what Trivia had wanted, but felt she wasn't allowed to after a series of events—including her introducing herself as Neopolitan rather than Trivia to Roman, which she felt was "right" and gave her "a fresh start", with the metaphorical final straw being her mother physically shattering the illusion of "Neopolitan" conjured by Overactive Imagination in front of Trivia. When Trivia took on her new identity and name as Neopolitan, she viciously and fervently enforced her own wants and whims in contradiction to how long she'd been forced to repress them. Similarly, she took great pride in herself and cared little of how other people perceived or felt about her, in contrast to how her parents had insisted their image mattered more than anything else, including Neo's desires.
At the end of Roman Holiday, during the fight at the Vanille Estate involving Neo, Roman Torchwick , Senior Xiong , and Lil' Miss Malachite , Neo made a split-second decision to trick Lil' Miss into triggering a Dust explosion on the third floor in order to escape the fight, though the explosion ended up unintentionally killing her father and she suspected also her mother. This was Neo's first experience with the death of someone known to her, uncertain of how to react and feeling that it didn't affect her, although she gains her iconic white stripes in her hair at this time, indicating she was impacted by their deaths no matter what she thought. Her inability to legitimately process her parents' deaths was indicative of her larger inability to handle grief, as further shown by her single-minded revenge driven handling of Roman's death.
In “ Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble ”, after she drove Ruby to ascend in the Ever After, she became a broken and emotionless person herself as she realized she only wanted revenge, not to conquer the Ever After, and now that she achieved it, she no longer had a purpose. She became so broken that the Curious Cat was able to take over her body to fulfill their own agenda.
In “ Of Solitude and Self ”, Neo was released from the Curious Cat ’s control and upon being exposed to the smoke of the Great Tree ’s leaves, Neo was shown to have gone through significant emotional growth, as she eventually realized that revenge wouldn’t make her happy, nor fill the emptiness in her heart and would only consume her entirely, leaving her with nothing. The entire experience in the Ever After caused Neo to finally let go of the past, by letting go of Roman and accepting his death, as instead of trying to continue attacking Ruby or her friends, she decided to go through Ascension in order to find a new purpose for herself and become something new.


RWBY

Neptune is a teenage boy with tan skin, Blue eyes and messy light-blue hair in the form of an undercut.
He wears a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket adorned with a wide, upturned, black collar and a silver reticle across the back. He also sports a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides as well as black shoes fastened with straps instead of laces.
Notable accessories within his attire include black fingerless gloves and a pair of yellow-tinted goggles typically worn on his forehead. However, when necessary, Neptune will not hesitate to make practical use of the latter, protecting his eyes from wind and sand in high-speed chases and battles, as seen in " Painting the Town... " and " New Challengers... ".

Neptune is shown to be a calm, collected, and respectful individual with a carefree personality. He maintains a positive impression with people he meets and often hangs out with his friend, Sun Wukong , who describes him as being cool. [3] Neptune is prone to flirting with girls, as shown through his interactions with Yang Xiao Long , [4] Weiss Schnee , [5] and even Miltia and Melanie Malachite , despite having just met them at the time. However, he is only successful with Weiss. [4]
He's shown to be fashion-conscious, like when he interjects that Sun doesn't know what he's talking about following the latter's claim that he can simply wear his casual clothes to the upcoming Beacon Dance . [6]
Aside from fitting with the stereotypical popular guy image, he may have an intellectual side as well, as evidenced in the episode " Welcome to Beacon ". When Sun says "Don't be a nerd", Neptune quickly corrects his friend, calling himself an "intellectual". This intellectual side of him shows through, when it is later mentioned that he defeated Ruby Rose , Weiss, and Yang in a round of Remnant: The Game off-screen.
Despite his cool demeanor, Neptune is very self-conscious of his image and can be easily embarrassed over his minor inadequacies, like his inability to dance, and refused to admit his fear of water. His tendency to protect his reputation can sometimes make him inconsiderate to the feelings of others. [7]
Neptune has several contradictory nervous tics. When Ruby forces him to be Yang's partner, taking hold of him and moving him where she wanted him to stand, he becomes stiff as a board. This same behavior is seen when Neptune notices the ocean biome in "New Challengers...". However, when Jaune Arc talks to Neptune about his refusal to go to the dance with Weiss, instead of becoming stiff, Neptune becomes restless, rubbing the back of his neck and looking away.
Neptune, at one point, was poor at keeping secrets. When Sun lets it slip that Blake Belladonna is a Faunus and wants to keep it secret, he mentions Neptune telling Scarlet David secrets in the past behind his back. He is also shown to be gullible, at one point not realizing the name Sun gave Tri-Hard was a dig at him until much later. Neptune and his team are convinced to go to Shade by Sun, and is shown to hate it there.
Neptune also has an immense fear of water and of his Semblance , which is due to a traumatic childhood incident involving his brother, Jupiter Vasilias , in which Neptune's Semblance almost led to the death of Jupiter.
After the Fall of Beacon , Neptune is described by Sun as being somewhat off, though he insists he's fine. [8]


RWBY

Nicholas' appearance was seen in portraits throughout the Schnee Manor . In them, he was shown to be a tall man with long, white hair and a white beard. He greatly resembled his daughter, Willow and his three grandchildren, who all inherited his facial structure, blue eyes and naturally white hair.
He wore a heavy, ornate suit of armor reminiscent to that of the Arma Gigas , with a black shirt and pants underneath. Nicholas wore a red fur-trimmed cloak which was held by a gold chord. Statue replicas of this armor were seen repeatedly throughout the Schnee Manor.
In the RWBY: World of Remnant episode " Schnee Dust Company ", he was portrayed as a muscular man who wears a red scarf.

Nicholas in Weiss' flashback from RWBY: Ice Queendom Nicholas as portrayed in a painting in the Schnee Manor

Although yet to make a personal appearance in the series, from RWBY: World of Remnant , it could be seen that Nicholas was hard working, determined, intelligent, courageous, fearless and ambitious from how he had built himself and his empire, the Schnee Dust Company , from nothing through hard work, labor and honesty.
Nicholas was also stated to have been a fair employer during his time as founder and president of the SDC, having been known to treat his laborers with respect and fairness and was not afraid to place himself in danger alongside them when searching for Dust deposits in the tundra of Solitas and the other hazardous areas of Remnant alongside his men, with this disposition having earned him the loyalty of many of his employees.
It was also stated that while he was a good person, he wasn't the best businessman. After his health began to fail him, his son-in-law, Jacques Gélé, managed to easily convince him to let him take over the company in his stead.


RWBY

He is a giant golden statue somewhat resembling the original Nicholas, with a mustache and empty eye sockets. The statue only consists of his shoulders and above, being connected to the top of the city of the dreamscape. When activated, he gains six golden arms connected to him, each with the ability to reach long distances. Additionally, his eye sockets are able to light up with a light blue glow. Inside of his head consists of the room containing all of Weiss' precious belongings, as well as a zero-gravity area filled with Dreamscape Robots. [1]

As he is was a nonsentient statue, he didn't have a personality. He obeyed Negative Weiss' every command, and would activate when she called upon him.


RWBY

Nolan is a teenage boy with messy dark red hair and pink eyes.
He wears a deep sky blue jacket with a black hood and rolled up black sleeves, open over a white shirt with long, rolled up sleeves. A pair of sunglasses with pink lenses hang from his collar. He also wears a pair of ripped burgundy jeans, black shoes and black finger-less gloves.
Following the Fall of Beacon, Nolan was put into a depressive state before the novel starts, which physically showed. He was thinner than before, and his rose-tinted sunglasses couldn't hide dark shadows below his eyes. [3]

After the Battle of Beacon, Nolan is shown to be in a depressed state, clinging on to the grief of losing the entirety of his team. He is shown to be a quiet person, primarily keeping to himself. However, after spending time with the Beacon Brigade and being given a new team, Nolan begins to grow more determined and confident, holding onto the grief of losing BRNZ to motivate him going forwards. Regarding his sexuality, Nolan is gay and is romantically involved with Scarlet David in the start of a budding relationship.


RWBY

She is a female Snail Faunus with eyestalks as her trait. She wears a purple long sleeved dress with frilled hem alongside a white apron and brown curled toe slip on shoes.
In Issue 13 (Digital) Issue 7 (Print), Nora's eyes are light blue.

She is a kind caring person asking Ruby Rose how she is as she gives both Bruce Wayne and Ruby a hug and invites them to stay the night.


RWBY

Nora is a fair-skinned young woman with orange hair and turquoise/jade/aqua eyes (her eye color changes throughout the series).

A happy-go-lucky, bubbly and playful young woman, Nora is mainly characterized by her boundless enthusiasm. When Nora talks, many of her words may sometimes come out randomly without her actually giving much thought to anything she comes up with. This is caused by her tendency to jump into a different topic most of the time and her rather peculiar imagination. Because of this and her free-spirited attitude, Nora's personality changes according to her mood, and she is prone to becoming a nuisance to the people around her, losing the point of a conversation, or even experiencing anxiety attacks. However, Nora is more insightful than one might think and is capable of being serious when most necessary. This rare sense of seriousness of hers is most prominently displayed during the battle against the Nuckelavee , where she literally slaps sense into Lie Ren who was consumed in his need for revenge against the Grimm who wiped out his village and family. She explained this by telling him: "I won't let you kill yourself like this."
Nora is very open with her companions and quickly grows fond of them. Because of her motor mouth, she is very open to conversation and plays with her friends almost all the time she is interacting with them, making her a very social and likable person. She can also be protective and supportive when she sees teammates need it. She is also considerate of their personal space and respects their decisions even if she doesn't agree with them. Nora does not doubt the talents of her friends and places her entire faith in Pyrrha Nikos and Ren's fighting skills while following Jaune Arc's orders as her leader without question. She also appears to be good at reading people, as seen during interactions with Jaune and Pyrrha in " Burning the Candle " and " Destiny ".
Although Nora retains her joyful personality even in combat, she is seen to be more focused and in control of herself during an encounter. She can be patient, obedient and smart. If she does not see the need for her assistance, she will stand back and choose to observe. Whenever she receives an order from one of her teammates, she always follows it with no doubts. When she follows Jaune's plans and finds herself in a position that gives her the advantage, she's able to figure out a way to defeat her enemies on her own, indicating an ability to strategize quickly and efficiently.
It is suggested that Nora's happy-go-lucky nature in part disguises any pain and stress she may have retained from being abandoned by her mother, or the Fall of Kuroyuri , the town that was destroyed by the Nuckelavee and many other Grimm.
Nora also seems to have a sweet tooth, as she ate the red sap that Ren and Pyrrha had collected, as well as all the syrup that Team JNPR was going to have on their pancakes, and it is also inferred that Nora is a big fan of pancakes. In " Welcome to Beacon ", she is heard mumbling "pancakes" in her sleep and shouting it again when woken up.
Nora is an extremely compassionate individual. When faced with the reality of what the actions of James Ironwood, though for the perceived greater good, are putting the people of Mantle through, she vehemently speaks out against it. This is likely due to having previously lived in squalor herself as an orphan. After the events of " With Friends Like These ", Nora changes her perspective on the situation and begins to see the bigger picture, choosing to follow Ruby's Group in " Divide " because she believes that warning all of Remnant about Salem should be a high priority. [6]
Despite all this, Nora has a double standard regarding keeping secrets. In " Worst Case Scenario ", she is furious with Ironwood and his secrets, wanting to tell everyone in Mantle about the Amity Communications Tower and Salem, even though she went along with Ruby's decision to lie to Ironwood and keep Ozpin's disappearance, how many questions left in the Relic of Knowledge , and Salem's immortality a secret from him.
In " Strings ", she realizes that she doesn't know exactly who she really is without Ren and starts to think she is worthless without him. Later in " Risk ", she states to Ren that she wants some time to figure out her own identity without him.


RWBY

Nora's Dream Actor was very similar to the original Nora, with a different outfit, She wore a bright pink winter jacket with cyan trimmed and two ribbons attached with matching tights, black gloves with heart-shaped design, and white shoes. In addition, she wore winter white ear muffs.

Nora's Dream Actor version didn't have much personality to her, being only able to make kitten noises from her cell, and didn't seem capable of much outside of that. In " Dreams Come Rued ", after being freed from her prison, she was capable of talking and gained a desire for freedom.


RWBY

Identical in appearance, Nubuck Guards are tall and broad-shouldered. Their uniforms include caps with two visors, pulled down so as to cover their eyes. They commonly either speak in unison or completing each other's sentences.

Their behavior is over the top, such as their march or the way they praise their commanding officer, Caroline Cordovin. They are very devoted to their military as seen when they corrected Qrow when he didn't call James Ironwood by his title "General". They try to be as helpful and supportive as they can, as seen how they support Caroline and are very eager to assist where they can, like when they carried Weiss' luggage or how they tried to calm down Adrian by performing weird poses to amuse him.


RWBY

Octavia is a young woman with fair/lightly tanned skin, brick red hair left loose with swept fringe to the right and olive green eyes.
She wears a teal blue waistcoat with two long tails and dark brown strapless top. A cropped sleeveless vest of the same color is worn over the top and waistcoat. Her skirt is pale green graduates to a cream with a zigzagged pointed hem accompanied with an open front layer that graduates from brown to light brown. She wears a pair of navy belts crossed in the front and back and a pair of sky blue layered spaulders, held in place by a dark brown leather strap across her chest. Her shoes are a pair of simple, navy blue ankle boots with folded over top and brick red lining. She also has a navy blue chocker.

Octavia has a stoic and cold personality, being more mature than most others and becoming unmoved and uninterested in others as Vacuo's culture prioritizes survival. She is rude and blunt, holding resentment towards the other kingdoms . Octavia was amongst the students who mercilessly harassed newcomers to Shade Academy after Beacon fell, entirely unimpressed by them.
Octavia is seemingly a morally flexible person, as shown by her second mission with Team NOVA, in which she and Nebula use children trainees as bait for the Grimm , leading to them sustaining minor injuries. When scolded by Arslan Altan and Velvet Scarlatina , she shrugs them off. She also fled the Battle of Beacon with her team.
Nonetheless, Octavia is shown to still have some heroic traits, being willing to work with those she has a disliking towards without any complaints and showing that she still respects teamwork. She also gives Velvet a chance to prove herself in the Shade Academy Initiation .
Octavia, like many natives to Vacuo , also possess a ruthless, vicious view on life. This is seen during her apparent attempt to kill Carmine Esclados without hesitance when the opportunity presented itself to her.
