* Jaune's father is almost always characterized as a Huntsman, current or former, who became disillusioned with the Huntsman profession at some point and refused to train Jaune from an early age as a result of that disillusionment, which eventually drives Jaune to fake his transcripts instead. In canon, there's no discussion on how long Jaune has wanted to be a Huntsman or why he had to resort to faking it.

In actual fact, it is actually called either the "Land of Darkness" or "Evernight" (with the latter sharing the name with the castle Salem operates from); though neither name has ever been used in the show, Kerry Shawcross referred to it as Evernight in several scripts and Rooster Teeth later created a t-shirt that utilized both names.

* Faunus and humans have various cultural and behavioural differences. The fandom create extreme cultural and animal-based trends for their Faunus characters, especially in pornographic works, which depict Faunus with oestrus cycles or having bizarre non-mammalian reproductive organs. Velvet is often depicted as an EthicalSlut due to being a [[ExplosiveBreeder rabbit]] Faunus, and Faunus offspring are often called "cubs" or "pups", etc. However, in the [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} main show]], Faunus only display a few stereotypical quirks, with it exaggerated for comedy in ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi''. They are "human" with benefits based on their animal trait (such as [[CatGirl cat hearing]] or venomous scorpion tails) and some implied cultural trends (such as Menagerie having a nocturnal section and aquatic market stalls). In the {{defictionalised}} ''Literature/RWBYFairyTalesOfRemnant'', Ozpin confirms there is a Faunus culture when discussing the differences between Faunus and Human tales, even apologising for potential cultural appropriation because he's included a near-extinct Faunus tale in the hope it can be saved.
* One common fanon interpretation of Aura is that it is a form of TwentyFourHourArmor: a shield that is always on and will deflect incoming attacks. This actually goes against how it is depicted in the show, where characters are frequently dealt knockout or even lethal blows by [[BackStab attacks that come abruptly or without warning]], such as Coco getting knocked out by Emerald in their battle in the Vytal Festival or Yang's injury from Adam's sudden sword strike at the end of Volume 3. Ren clarifies in Volume 5 that it takes a conscious effort to use Aura for protection; with enough training, it can eventually become second nature. The fanon on how Aura works is so embedded that the fandom often claims that later information on Aura has {{retcon}}ned older information when it's only debunked the fanon.
* It's common fanon that only one person can have any one Maiden's powers at a time, despite the fact that all of the Maidens' powers originated from one person: Ozpin himself. This was ultimately debunked in Volume 5, when Cinder attempts twice to take the Spring Maiden's powers, and even starts to drain them from Raven with no adverse effects, proving that one person can have multiple Maidens' abilities. However, some fans think she would have been overloaded with power had she succeeded, and that there is a difference between modern-day humans and Ozma.
* A common fanon idea was that each Maiden power possessed a single ElementalPowers, typically seeing Fire as belonging to Fall, Ice belonging to Winter, Wind belonging to Spring, and Lightning belonging to Summer. This however ignored that the Fall Maiden before Cinder, Amber, demonstrated the ability to use all four elements (though with a focus on BlowYouAway). This would be completely {{jossed}} in the battle between Raven and Cinder, where both demonstrated the capacity to use Ice, and Raven used Lightning while Cinder used Fire, implying the specific elemental use was simply what they preferred to use. The creators have even said that Amber's battle against Cinder was ''meant'' to specifically disprove this. However, like the Aura fanon, this continues to persist in the fandom.
* Yet another fanon idea about Maidens is that the power transfer is akin to Ozma's reincarnation, with the spirit of the previous Maiden sticking around and conversing with the new one. It draws its roots from Ozpin's concern that Pyrrha might suffer DeathOfPersonality should they transfer Amber's Aura into hers. This is commonly used to keep Penny alive, but occasionally used for Amber as well. Absolutely nothing in the show has suggested this, with Pyrrha's situation being an extremely special case.
* When Pyrrha unlocks Jaune's Aura, she recites a short chant. Fans, especially fanfic writers, tend to assume that doing so is necessary for the process and that every character has a version of the chant unique to them.
* In fanworks, Beacon is mostly portrayed as poorly organized, extremely dangerous and/or flat-out ineffectual as a school. Events like the FoodFight between teams RWBY and JNPR are shown to be common, Headmaster Ozpin is portrayed as neglectful to his duties at best and downright insane at worst, and Glynda is seen as the OnlySaneMan struggling to keep a semblance of order.

* Many fans assume that all Faunus have perfect night vision. In fact, it's only stated that "many" Faunus can see in the dark, and in Menagerie there are many places with the lights still on at night. It is logically assumed that Faunus only have good night vision if their animal counterpart does. For example, cat Faunus like Blake would have good night vision but most bird Faunus wouldn't.

This has led to dissatisfaction with certain episodes, where the fandom assumes that any Faunus should be able to automatically see anything that's happening in darkness, even though that's not canon.

* It's common in fan works to portray Beacon (and by extension, the other Academies and Combat Schools) as having a forge where students can upgrade/fix their weapons on their own time. Ruby often spends most of her time there, and if the building has a professor or blacksmith, she will be their apprentice. This is usually designed to explain how students can consistently mangle their weapons in spars yet still have them functioning later on; alternatively, Ruby and a forge are also a quick way for one of the main cast to upgrade/change their weapon as an author desires. In canon, even when ''After the Fall'' revealed the existence of a "Weapons Crafting and Upgrade" professor named Harold Mulberry, it doesn't mention a forge.

* It's common fanon that only one person can have any one Maiden's powers at a time, despite the fact that all of the Maidens' powers originated from one person: Ozpin himself. This fanon was ultimately debunked in Volume 5, when Cinder attempts twice to take the Spring Maiden's powers, and even starts to drain them from Raven with no adverse effects, proving that one person can have multiple Maidens' abilities.abilities. However, some fans think she would have been overloaded with power had she succeeded, and that there is a difference between modern-day humans and Ozma.
* Yet another fanon idea about Maidens is that the power transfer is akin to Ozma's reincarnation, and the spirit of the previous Maiden slowly merges with the new one. This is due to Ozpin's concern that Pyrrha might suffer DeathOfPersonality should they transfer Amber's Aura into hers. However, that was an extremely special case, and none of the Maidens seen in the show suffer from this.

* It's a common fanon concept that one of Remnant's major religion worships Dust. In fan-works, phrases like "[[OhMyGods oh my dust]]" are commonplace. Other common examples of this exclamation include either "Gods", "Monty", or "Oum" where the word "God" would usually go, such as "Oh my Monty" or "Oum have mercy".

After Remnant's actual religions were revealed, fan-works began using oaths to them instead, but some of the old fanon is still sometimes used.

* It's common in fan works to portray Beacon (and by extension, the other Academies and Combat Schools) as having a forge where students can upgrade/fix their weapons on their own time. Ruby often spends most of her time there, and if the building has a professor or blacksmith, she will be their apprentice. This is usually designed to explain how students can consistently mangle their weapons in spars yet still have them functioning later on; alternatively, Ruby and a forge are also a quick way for one of the main cast to upgrade/change their weapon as an author desires. In canon, even when ''After the Fall'' revealed the existence of a "Weapons Crafting and Upgrade" professor, it doesn't mention a forge.
