* AssShove: Implies that he kept his rocket-thermos there along with his drugs.

* BrutalHonesty: Deconstructed. When he bluntly tells Yang that Raven (her mother) doesn’t care about her and won’t help her, [[RealityEnsues this causes Yang to break down, Summer and Blake to get pissed at him, and for him to feel incredibly guilty for being too forward]].

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler: Despite ending up being a massive help to the heroes, he still gets arrested for helping Salem in the first place. Though, he does seem to find it a fair punishment.]]

* BadassGay: [[CastFullOfGay Surprise, surprise.]] She outright states that she'll never touch a man.

* BadassGay: Not entirely surprising[[spoiler:, but it is confirmed in the epilogue when Ruby says that she's dating Winter]].

* RebuiltPedestal: She gains her respect for Winter again after the latter saves her life.

* TheInsomniac: When Ironwood asks if everyone had a good sleep, Jameson is genuinely confused as to what that is. Probably justified with the amount of drugs he does.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler: Even ''Ruby'' hates him for what he did. Thankfully subverted when Winter decides to forgive him. Subverted further when he allows Jinn to explain everything. Aside from Yang, everyone who previouly held a grudge against him for keeping secrets starts to respect him again and apologizes for how they acted towards him.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A completely insane and violent drug addict and criminal, who has no problem being shameless blunt about his friends' personal lives, or annoying them, nonetheless cares for all of them.

* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: She is absolutely terrified to die and Oobleck comforts her as they are executed.]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity[=/=]DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: He doesn't let Jacques have the full satisfaction fo killing him. Instead, he threatens to take down as many soldiers as he can before being subdued. And ahs he's being killed by the acid, he stares Jacques down the whole time.]]

* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: She is absolutely terrified to die.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: In canon, he was reincarnated into Oscar. This series has given no indication that any such thing has happened or will happen.]]

** AdaptationalNiceGuy:...after his CharacterDevelopment Qrow has buried the hatchet with Winter and [[spoiler: has swore off his drinking and lecherous lifestyle, something canon Qrow has yet to do.]]

* ThrowTheDogABone: After being shunned by his family for keeping secrets, Winter finally decides to forgive him after he apologizes for what happened with Daisy.

* ReallyGetsAround: She has a notorious reputation of this. She claims that every prostitute in Vale has her on speed-dial, and was with two in ''Winter Has Come''. [[spoiler: It was posthumously revealed that she also [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu slept with Jinn]].]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler: Even ''Ruby'' hates him for what he did. Thankfully subverted when Winter decides to forgive him.]]

See his tropes in the [[Characters/RubyAndNoraVillains Villains section]].

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: While he feels awful for what he did for Salem, and agrees with Ironwood that he needs to be punished for assisting her, he still feels that [[spoiler: his family being held over his head]] was a decent reason to turn on everyone. When Winter calls him out, he asks her if she would do the things he did if Salem had Weiss...and Winter immediately backs down.

* WhatTheHllHero: She doesn't heistate to call Ironwood out on his decision to leave Jacques Schnee in charge of Atlas.

* CovertPervert: When [[spoiler: [[MsFanservice Jinn reveals herself (in more ways than one) and Ciel takes her up on the offer]], Winter is appalled and Ciel says that looking at pictures of the latter isn't doing it for her anymore. [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud Prompting a very awkward interaction between them.]]

-->'''Oobleck:''' ''[[[{{beat}}...]]]'' I think I should stop singing.

* FunctionalAddict: He's an admitted cocaine addict.
* HiddenDepths: It is all but stated that [[spoiler: Glynda’s death has greatly effected him]]. He has stopped saying anything worse than bitch since [[spoiler: her death, and he even says that taking down Salem was “[[AndThisIsFor For Glynda!]]”]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A completely insane and violent drug addict and criminal, who has no problem being shameless blunt about his friends personal lives, or annoying them, nonetheless cares for all of them. When [[spoiler: Glynda died]], while he never says it, he makes it clear that it has greatly effected him and [[spoiler: he misses her dearly]].

* VitriolicBestBuds: More one-sided versions of this trope with every friend he has. They’d probably get along just fine if he didn’t constantly annoy them with his bantering, bluntness, and overall insanity.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Ruby's Birthday'', ''Pyrrha's Past'', ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Recovery'', ''Atlas'', ''Haven''

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He doesn't seem to have a good grasp of how horrible Lyra is. He also intends to leave Atlas in the hands of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Jacques Schnee]] of all people. [[spoiler: Exploited by Salem since she expected him to leave Atlas in Jacques' hands.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: Ozpin still hasn't forgotten the Keter incident.

* {{Pride}}: The reason Keter was able to be on the loose for so long is that James didn't want this to reflect badly on Atlas' (and by extension, his) reputation. Glynda immediately calls him out on this.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Atlas'', ''Haven''

* AmbiguouslyGay: Probably not ''that'' ambiguous [[CastFullOfGay all things considered]], but she blushes when Winter thanks her and starts stuttering. In this series, that’s enough to suspect that there's some attraction behind that reaction.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Atlas'', ''Haven''

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Recovery'', ''Attacks'', ''Bloodsucker'', ''STRQ'', ''Haven''

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, he still shows affection for Ruby. He's a little disappointed when she sees that he got himself in trouble. He also takes his job of protecting Vale seriously. [[spoiler: He even tries to console Winter after Daisy's HeroicSacrifice, despite the fact that she blows him off out of rage.]] But while his heart of gold is there, [[DeconstructedTrope one can’t ignore the jerk part either]]. From his first appearance, Qrow is shown to feel incredibly guilty whenever Ruby or the other members of his family see his less-than-pleasant attitude. Comes to a head after the Fall of Beacon and the revelation he’s been hiding secrets from them, [[spoiler: every time he says or does something jerkish his family gets more and more pissed at him, and he realizes he needs to drop this attitude if he ever has a chance of reconciling with any of them]].Winter finally admits that she knew that he was a good man deep down.

* CowardlyLion: Despite his fear of Salem, he decides to finally stand up to her.

* ReallyGetsAround: She claims that every prostitute in Vale has her on speed-dial. She was with two in ''Winter Has Come''. She has a notorious reputation of this.

* CharacterDevelopment: While just as eccentric and insane as ever, Oobleck has since put a lid on his more colorful swearing, having said nothing worse than “bitch” since [[spoiler: Glynda’s death]].

* HiddenDepths: It is all but stated that [[spoiler: Glynda’s death has greatly effected him]]. He has stopped saying anything worse than bitch since [[spoiler: her death, and he even says that taking down Salem was “For Glynda!”]]

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Ruby's Birthday'', ''Pyrrha's Past'', ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Recovery'', ''Atlas''

* CharacterDevelopment: It’s hidden under six layers of idiot, but it’s there. While his intelligence and [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter judge of character]] still leaves a lot to be desired, Ironwood has nonetheless let go of his pride when his incompetence [[spoiler: lead to Keter slaughtering dozens after his breakout, and Neo blowing up buildings and hacking his drones and paladins when she and a group of criminals riot on one of the airships.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s a selfish, prideful idiot, but he ultimately ''is'' a good man who makes a lot of mistakes. While his plans for Remnant at large are lacking, his individual plans are much more sound and thought out. He gave Winter mandatory leave so she could process her grief, but took her off early so she could avenge her sister. [[spoiler: While everyone else is (admittedly justified) enraged at Leonardo when they learn of his alliance with Salem, Ironwood is the only one who (while admitting the Leonardo still needs to be punished, something the latter agrees with) expresses sympathies for his plight, going as far as to apologize when he realizes Leonardo’s family is dead.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: He shoots Keter without hesitation.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: A rare, completely justifiable example. [[spoiler: He executed the unarmed, teenaged Mercury, but he '''really had it coming'''.]]

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Winter Has Come'' ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]]), ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Recovery'', ''Atlas''

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler: She had to watch the woman she loved die while trying to save her, and is a mess after learning that her sister was killed.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler: Losing Daisy, and living with the knowledge that Daisy died never knowing Winter still loved her]], has caused her to let go of her anger (as justifiable as it may have been) and burying the hatchet with Qrow.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Leaves the Wendigo at the mercy of her summons as he begs for mercy.]]

* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler: She retires her old sword and begins to use Myrtenaster in memory of Weiss.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Attempted, subverted, and Deconstructed. After burying the hatchet with Qrow, she seems to try and have a rather jabbing relationship with him, but since his emotional state at that moment wasn’t good, she immediately back pedals, apologizes for the jab, and decides to have a more supportive friendship with him.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Atlas''

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Atlas''

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Recovery'', ''Attacks'', ''Bloodsucker'', ''STRQ''

* BreakTheHaughty: '''Everything''' falls apart for him after the Fall of Beacon, his [[spoiler: family has rejected him (even '''Ruby'''), and the loss of Daisy (who he is revealed to have actually cared very much for) has taken its toll on him.]] Thankfully, and he has started to get better because of it.
* BrutalHonesty: Deconstructed. He bluntly tells Yang that Raven (her mother) doesn’t care about her and won’t help her, [[RealityEnsues this causes Yang to breakdown, Summer and Blake to get pissed at him, and for him to feel incredibly guilty for being too forward]].

* CerebusRetcon: His alcoholism was played for laughs in the beginning. As the story goes on, it stops being funny and becomes clear that it's a coping mechanism for a broken man. [[spoiler: This trope is in full effect when he reveals that his first drink was after he had to lie to Summer about Tai's death.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, he still shows affection for Ruby. He's a little disappointed when she sees that he got himself in trouble. He also takes his job of protecting Vale seriously. [[spoiler: He even tries to console Winter after Daisy's HeroicSacrifice, despite the fact that she blows him off out of rage.]] Deconstructed, while his heart of gold is there, one can’t ignore the jerk part either.

Comes to a head after the Fall of Beacon and the revelation he’s been hiding secrets from them, [[spoiler: every time he says or does something jerkish his family gets more and more pissed at him, and he realizes he needs to drop this attitude if he ever has a chance of reconciling with any of them]].

* ReallyGetsAround: Ruby notes that he's a serial home wrecker, [[BiTheWay and gender doesn't restrict him]]. Deconstructed, as he later admits all of this was an attempt to avoid feeling empty on the inside.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Salem's Arrival''

The headmaster of Haven Academy and unwilling ally of Salem.

* AdaptationalHeroism: He has been forced to work for Salem not out of cowardice, but because [[spoiler:she has his wife and children held hostage]]. This is one reason he isn't featured in the Villain section.
* TheAtoner: After He realizes [[spoiler: his family is dead and Salem has no power over him, he admits what he did to the other heroes, puts a '''massive''' dent in Salem’s plan, and let’s himself be arrested to face justice for his crimes]].

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: While he feels awful for what he did for Salem, and agrees with Ironwood that he needs to be punished for assisting her, he still feels that his family being held over his head was a decent reason to turn on everyone. When Winter calls him out, he asks her if she would do the things he did if Salem had Weiss...and Winter immediately backs down.]]

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Much to Winter's chagrin, he's just psychotic as his brother.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, he still shows affection for Ruby. He's a little disappointed when she sees that he got himself in trouble. He also takes his job of protecting Vale seriously. [[spoiler: He even tries to console Winter after Daisy's HeroicSacrifice, despite the fact that she blows him off out of rage.]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: He's much more abrasive and callous than he is in canon. He's still a JerkWithAHeartOfGold (see that trope below), but the "Jerk" part is much more substantial.

* ReallyGetsAround: Ruby notes that he's a serial homewrecker, [[BiTheWay and gender doesn't restrict him]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s a selfish, prideful idiot, but he ultimately ''is'' a good man who makes a lot of mistakes.

He gave Winter mandatory leave so she could process her grief, but took her off early so she could avenge her sister.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler: She had to watch the woman she loved die while trying to save her. And she is a mess after learning that her sister was killed.]]

* AmicableExes: [[SubvertedTrope Not at all with Daisy.]] They are willing to swallow their differences and work together, but she is still furious over what happened. [[spoiler: But she still loved her in the end under all of her anger.]]

!!Corbin and Ava Branwen

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Field Trip'', ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Attacks'', ''Bloodsucker''

* ShooOutTheClowns: Averted when [[spoiler: they show Pyrrha the Vault of the Fall Maiden]]. Yes, Qrow got kicked out, but they let '''Oobleck''' in.
* SirSwearsALot: Provides the most profanity in the series. This is especially prevalent in ''Vytal Tournament''.

* YouCanPanicNow: In the beginning of ''Beacon's Fall'', he contradicted Port's attempt to calm everyone down. Yet, at the same time, he tells people not to trample over people as they rush out of the stadium.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Field Trip'', ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Attacks'', ''Bloodsucker''

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He has to be this for Oobleck during ''Vytal Tournament''.

* StepfordSnarker: Her way with dealing with Jacques' emotional abuse. She often directs snide remarks towards him and how terrible of a person he is.

!!Dr. Jameson Jekyde Oobelck

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's still employed despite his eccentric nature (and apparent cocaine addiction). The Ooblecks must have some exceptional skill.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Winter Has Come'', ''Vytal Tournament'', ''Beacon's Fall'', ''Recovery'', ''Attacks'', ''Bloodsucker''

* TheAlcoholic: Even more of a belligerent drunk in this series.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a sleazy, alcoholic, belligerent jerk who even Ozpin notes isn't a good person. But when things need to be done, he makes sure that people in charge get the information they need. His tone becomes more serious when he mentions the attacks on the CCT towers.

* DrowningMySorrows: After the Fall of Beacon, he does this even more than he does in canon.

* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: She doesn't appreciate the insinuations that she and Qrow are screwing each other.
