* GreenEyedMonster: When Rein joined Weiss's team, Whisper instantly got jealous that she would now have to share Weiss's attention with someone else, and started antagonizing him. While Rein took it in stride, Weiss wasn't sure how to handle Whisper's feelings, and things eventually boiled over when Weiss asked Whisper to learn swordplay from Blake (because Blake, unlike Weiss, has the same dominant hand as Whisper), and Whisper instantly threw a tantrum about Weiss not wanting to teach her anymore and teleported away. Shade eventually found her and talked her through her feelings.



* {{Telepathy}}: Unsurprisingly, given that she's a Psychic-type. Whisper is frequently used as a translator between humans and Pokémon.
