History Characters / RWBYTeamJNPR

* JustFriends: Whenever someone brings up the fact that Nora and Ren are always together, even if it's Nora herself, she'll reiterate that they aren't an item. As Nora puts it, "[They're] not ''together'' together... but she says it nervously, which acts as a hint that her feelings are less than platonic. By Volume 6, she's no longer hiding her feelings for him, and they resolve the nature of their relationship two volumes later.

* KilledOffForReal: Is shot in the heart and has her body incinerated to ashes by Cinder in "End of the Beginning". Notably, her only appearances after that episode are in non-canon spinoffs.

* DropTheHammer: Magnhild is a large hammer/grenade launcher that she can also use to launch people across large gaps. When the village Ren and Nora lived in was razed to the ground by Grimm, Ren gave her a wooden toy hammer to comfort her, which led to her choice of Magnhild when she became a Huntress.

* CatchPhrase: There are two phrases that Pyrrha is constantly spouting; "I'm sorry!" and "Hello again!"

* JerkassHasAPoint: Played with. Lie Ren is not usually prickly, but after Oscar is abducted by the Hound and the Relic of Knowledge is taken by Salem, he's not in a good mood. When Yang confronts him, he brings up that the terrible situation they're in is of their own making, calling out every one of their poor decisions. While he was rude and chose a poor time, he wasn't wrong. The group lying to Ironwood had alienated their most important ally in Atlas and by the time they revealed the truth, Salem was on her way, the Atlesian army was exhausted and Mantle was flooding with Grimm. Ruby's blind idealism, Yang and Blake's decision to tell Robyn about Amity Tower behind everyone's back and failure to secure the Relic of Knowledge had left Atlas and Mantle at Salem's mercy. Further more, Ren brings up that despite insisting on standing their ground, they have no plan to defeat Salem, which is their biggest obstacle to true victory. Sadly, Yang dismisses all of it without addressing any of Ren's points and accuses him of brooding.

* BigStupidDoodooHead: She tries insulting Caroline after the operative once again denies them entrance through the border, but she flounders and ends up saying that her base looks like "a big, dumb boot"! Jaune isn't impressed.

* BadassBaritone: He's the quietest and most stoic member of the team, but once he does speak, it's with an enriching voice, whether to plan out a battle strategy with his allies, or simply passing on words of wisdom. His badass credentials are already evident in his singlehanded defeat of the King Taijitu, as well as his formidable ninjaesque fighting style.

* TriangRelations: Pyrrha likes Jaune, who unfortunately has eyes only for Weiss. Weiss thinks Jaune is just a GoldDigger, but has an interest in Neptune. Neptune briefly shows interest in Weiss, but he's also a womaniser. The fact that he never stops making passes at other women eventually turns Weiss off him and Jaune eventually moves on from his crush on Weiss.

* FieldPromotion: While they originally went to Beacon Academy to become Huntressmen and Huntresses and get their licenses, the fall of Beacon caused the school to close with Team RWBY and the remaining members of Team JNPR traveling the world to find the people responsible while most students transferred to other academies like Shade. By the time they reach Atlas, General James Ironwood states that the dangers they've faced during the Battle of Beacon, in the wilds of Anima, and against the forces of Salem, means they're not functioning at the level of students, they're functioning as Huntsmen. Thus, he promotes them to fully licenced Huntsmen on the basis of their field experience even though they haven't completed their schooling.

* NotSoStoic: Ren starts off highly stoic and calm, but over the course of Volume 4 he begins emoting more and more as the team travels further into Anima and keep encountering villages that have been destroyed by bandits or the Grimm. When the team finally reach Ren's home, they confront the Nuckelavee that has been destroying local villages. Ren sinks to his knees in horror and shock but his hatred and anger grow throughout the fight until he loses all control against the monster that killed his home town and family. In the seventh and eighth volumes, the stress of the situation the heroes are under sees Ren struggling to contain his emotions throughout, resulting in increasing outbursts of anger or tears whenever situations hit him particularly hard, such as when he's forced to fight Neo at the end of Volume 7 while she's disguised as Nora.

* BlemishedBeauty: In Volume 8, Nora Valkyrie absorbs so much electricity that her [[ShockAndAwe Semblance]] is pushed to its limit and quickly shatters; she's left with scars on her upper torso, arms and neck that are akin to Lichtenberg figures. It doesn't put anyone off her appearance, and she doesn't make any effort to hide them. [[spoiler:The event contributes to her LoveInterest, Ren, finally admitting he's in love with her.]]

* CoveredInScars: When Nora breaks down a locked door, she ends up taking scars from the effort. [[spoiler:The door is highly secure and reinforced with a powerful electrical grid to protect a classified military lab. The only way to bring it down is for Nora to use her Semblance to direct the electricity through her body, which creates VolcanicVeins of purple lightning across her entire body. By overcharging, she is able to smash down the door in a single strike. However, this immediately destroys her Aura, renders her unconscious, and leaves behind a network of electrical burn scars across her upper body.]]

* HeroicRROD: Nora's Semblance allows her to absorb electrical energy and channel it to her muscles; overdoing it can shatter her Aura and damage her body. [[spoiler:To help the heroes escape from a highly secure military office, Nora absorbs an energy barrier, which leaves her seriously injured. They flee to the Schnee Manor, where she is treated by the medically trained Klein. Although she recovers, she is left with permanent scarring in the style of Lichtenberg figures.]]

* LossOfIdentity: After going to Atlas and more regularly arguing with Ren, Nora comes to realize that she's been with Ren for so long, she doesn't know who she is without him anymore. While Weiss tries to advise she take the opportunity find out who she is, Nora just says she only knows how to "Be strong and hit stuff". [[spoiler:So when an electrical barrier blocks everyone from Penny as she's forced to fight the Ace-Ops, Nora repeats to herself that she needs to be just that and do something only she can do. While Weiss tries to stop her, she proceeds to overcharge her Semblance using the barrier, to the point her body is left covered in Lichtenberg figure like scars, and smashes the barrier, the impact being strong enough to send the Ace-Ops flying. Doing so however shatters her Aura and [[HeroicRROD leaves her comatose and in need of medical attention]]. She later mumbles while unconscious: "Now what am I good for?"]]

* ParentalAbandonment: Ren first met Nora when she was a filthy street urchin, scrounging for mouldy bread in rubbish bins. After the village was wiped out, the two orphans became each other's only family. [[spoiler:In Volume 8, Nora reveals that her mother abandoned her during a Grimm attack nor long before she first met Ren. It has left her with a deeply buried insecurity about her own self-worth, which only comes to light in Volume 8 when she realises she's never learned who she really is as an individual.]]

* ScarsAreForever: The mass of scars Nora received during the heroes' infiltration of Atlas cannot be healed by her aura. [[spoiler:Once Jaune is finally able to reach Nora and use his Semblance to boost her aura's HealingFactor, too much time had passed and the damage became permanent.]]

* ChildhoodFriends: Nora and Ren start the show as seventeen-year-olds who have been together since a young age as a result of being orphaned by the Grimm. Nora is determined to make sure they are teamed together, even inventing secret "sloth" calls that Ren is convinced cannot be a real sloth's sound. Ren tries to rein in Nora's hyperactivity and wild enthusiasm while she thinks his penchant for "health" drinks is disgusting. They are so close that others erroneously think they're in a romantic relationship. They kiss in Volume 7 but villainous events prevent them from being able to immediately discuss it. [[spoiler:In Volume 8, they admit they're in love with each other but Nora wants to sort her own individual identity; Ren is [[IWillWaitForYou fully supportive]].]]

* TheEmpath: Ren's Semblance initially allows him to mask people's emotions, which he uses to calm people into becoming invisible to the negativity-sensing Grimm; those affected by his Semblance appear visually grey. Later, he develops the ability to unmask people's emotions as well. [[spoiler:In Volume 8, arguing with Harriet about her attitude towards teammates triggers an evolution in Ren's Semblance, greying his vision of the world except for his target, who remains coloured, surrounded by an aura of petals, the colour and movement of which identify their emotional state. Despite the simple visual, he immediately displays a remarkable degree of insight into each of the Ace-Ops; that Harriet is furious over Clover's death despite her claims of indifference, and that both Marrow and Winter want nothing to do with the missions they're on anymore, deducing that their emotional repression is what led to their loss against [=RWBY=].]]
