* AnimalMotif: Bears. He's physically the largest man encountered short of the White Fang Lieutenant and Yatsuhashi, his name means "Black Bear", his DJ wears a bear costume, and his Mobsters all have the words "bear" engraved on their handaxes.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Miltia's name can be spelled Militia or Milltia or similar variants. Monty has [[https://twitter.com/montyoum/status/341335209960144897 confirmed]] the spelling is Miltia.

* DeconstructedTrope: JerkWithAHeartOfGold in ''Literature/RWBYAfterTheFall: Coco has a ''very'' large and fragile ego, constantly trying to prove herself just as good as other well known huntresses like Glynda and Rumpole. While her heart is in the right place, and she desperately wants to help people, her drive to avoid past failures that led to her being unable to save lives means that holds onto the reins of leadership too tightly, bossing her team and making decisions on what's best for them without considering what they want, and dismissing advice and feedback. When an emotion-amplifying Semblances brings Velvet and Fox's resentment to the surface about how they feel jerked and bossed around, she begins working on self-improvement to become a better leader. In ''Literature/RWBYBeforeTheDawn'', she is so judgemental of Sun's failings as a leader, that her team has to point out to her that there's a difference between good critique and unreasonable criticism, and that she still needs to work on her own jerkassery as part of becoming a better leader and person; this is feedback that she accepts.

* DeconstructedTrope: TheLeader in ''Literature/RWBYAfterTheFall'': While under the effects of the Caspian's Semblance, which amplifies existing emotions, Velvet and Fox reveal that they harbor some resentment towards Coco due to the fact she doesn't lead them, she bosses them around. She neglects to take their concerns into account and makes decisions for them. Coco takes their issues to heart and begins working to be more conscientious of her team and learn how to be a proper leader. In the sequel ''Literature/RWBYBeforeTheDawn'', she clashes with Team SSSN, which is having a similar problem with their leader, Sun. Her team makes it clear that there's a fine line between critiquing Sun and being unreasonable, showing that her own self-improvements are still a work in progress.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Coco has a ''very'' large and fragile ego, constantly trying to prove herself just as good as other well known huntresses like Glynda and Rumpole, and coming across as rather bossy to her team at times. However, she cares immensely about her team and friends and just wants to be the best, so upon being made aware of how she comes across ''does'' try to change and be a better person overall.

* BoringButPractical: The practicality of Kandi's weapon is subverted. Roman isn't impressed when Kandi pulls out a slingshot on him, but the Dust vials she fires at him cover him with Dust powder that stick to him, before exploding to injure him; the powder also sticks him to the floor, trapping him in place. It initially seems very practical and effective until she starts using its sonic wave to shatter the vials. It also shatters other glass in the area, such as a large window that endangers customers lives and gives Roman an escape route he didn't previously have.

* MixAndMatchWeapon: Sky's Halberd is a gun.

* BladeOnAStick: Fights against Pyrrha wielding a halberd adorned with a crescent blade.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: A {{reconstruction}}. Unlike Raven who abandoned her family outright and Taiyang who struggled to care for them in the wake of losing two wives, Summer appears to have been the perfect parent for both Ruby and Yang. This is because she disappeared when Ruby and Yang were very young, enabling them to create idealised versions of her in their minds. This is deconstructed in that Ruby died young enough that she remembers Summer less as a person and more as an ideal, namely an ideal [[PerfectionIsImpossible she can't live up to]]. [[spoiler:This is reconstructed when learning about her mother's flaws at the end of Volume 9; though this is a rude awakening for her, she eventually realizes Summer was simply human and so is she.]]

Her weapon is Sundered Rose, an ax/rifle. She possesses Silver Eyes, enabling her to destroy Grimm with a glance.

* AnAxeToGrind: Uses an axe called Sundered Rose in combat.

* SuperSpeed: He is capable of incredible speed, and will sometimes use it even for mundane events like leaving lectures where his departure is little more than a blur of motion.

* ActionMom: She and Taiyang were both huntsmen; even when he was a teacher, she went out on active assignments. When while talking to her grave in Volume 3, Ruby mentions her father has started going out on missions again but she thinks he misses adventuring with Summer.

* BrokenPedestal: Summer's portrayed as an almost semi-mythical symbol of purity and perfection, someone who inspired Ruby to become a Huntress by being a real-life version of the fairy tale heroes her mother would tell them about at bedtime. Thus, Summer's only flaw was her leaving for a mission from which she never returned, devastating her family. However, by the ninth volume, Ruby is betrayed and devastated after she learns what really happened. [[spoiler:At the volume's end, she learns Summer lied about what mission she was going on, believing it was acceptable because she'd be back home before anyone knew the truth. However, after the immediate shock wears off, Ruby is able to break out of the suicidal despair she's been struggling with because she finally understands that she's been holding herself and her mother to an impossible standard; instead of shattering herself trying to achieve it, she can now accept that both she and her mother are flawed human beings, just like everyone else, and that's okay.]]
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: {{Reconstruction}}. Compared to Raven who abandoned her family outright and Taiyang who struggled to care for them in the wake of losing two wives, Summer appears to have been the perfect parent for both Ruby and Yang. This is because she disappeared when Ruby and Yang were very young, enabling them to create idealised versions of her in their minds. This is deconstructed in that Ruby died young enough that she remembers Summer less as a person and more as an ideal, namely an ideal [[PerfectionIsImpossible she can't live up to]]. [[spoiler:This is reconstructed when learning about her mother's flaws in Volume 9; this is a rude awakening for her, but she eventually realizes that Summer was simply human and so is she.]]

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Even though most of her face is obscured by her hood, the photo of the young Team STRQ shows that Ruby bears a strong likeness to her mother. Volumes 6 and 7 reveal what Summer looks like without the hood and confirms that she looks almost identical to Ruby, having very similar face and eye shape, pale skin tone, and red-tipped black hair.

* WartsAndAll: Since she died when Ruby was young, Ruby has spent her life learning about Summer from those who loved and admired her, describing her as a paragon of a Huntress, a leader, and a hero. No heroic character has ever had anything bad to say about her, and Ruby feels pressure to live up to her legacy. In "Of Solitude and Self" [[spoiler:Ruby finally gets to see the night when Summer left, which reveals she was kind and loving, but also sometimes lied, made bad decisions, and was cold towards Raven. This causes Ruby to realize that no one was perfect, not even her mother, and therefore she doesn't have to be either.]]

* ActionMom: She and Taiyang were both huntsmen; even when he was a teacher, she went out on active assignments. When Ruby is talking to her grave in Volume 3, she mentions that her father has recently started going out on missions again but that she thinks he misses adventuring with Summer.

* BrokenPedestal: She is portrayed as an almost semi-mythical symbol of purity and perfection, someone who inspired Ruby to become a Huntres by being a real-life version of the fairy tale heroes her mother would tell them about at bedtime. Summer's only flaw was therefore that she left for a mission from which she never returned, leaving her family devastated. However, Volume 9 reveals new information about Summer that leaves Ruby feeling betrayed and devastated. [[spoiler:In the volume finale, she learns that Summer lied about what mission she was going on, believing it was acceptable because she'd be back home before anyone knew the truth. However, after the immediate shock wears off, Ruby is able to break out of the suicidal despair she's been struggling with because she finally understands that she's been holding herself and her mother to an impossible standard; instead of shattering herself trying to achieve it, she can now accept that both she and her mother are flawed human beings, just like everyone else, and that's okay.]]

* {{Determinator}}: When the heroes are struggling to make decisions in the wake of learning about Salem's immortality, Ruby asks Qrow how he thinks her mother would have handled it. Qrow considers that for a moment, then says Summer would do exactly what Ruby is doing: even if she knew that there seems to be no way to defeat Salem, Summer would still have pressed on regardless.
* DelayedNarratorIntroduction: At the beginning of Volume 9, an unfamiliar voice starts telling the story of "The Girl Who Fell Through the World". The volume's penultimate episode reveals it's Summer Rose. [[spoiler:A flashback reveals that Summer is reading the tale as a bedtime story to a very young Yang and Ruby; the book she's reading from is the same one that's portrayed in the opening credits.]]

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Ruby becomes heartbroken to find out that Summer lied to her family about her final mission and went off with Raven without telling anyone. That being said, this turns out to be a rare ''positive'' example, as the fact that Summer wasn't perfect is one of the major factors that help her realize that [[BeYourself Ruby doesn't need to be either]].]]

* OverprotectiveDad: Ruby said that he wouldn't approve of the presence of boys during the first night at Beacon, and tends to be overly concerned about her safety in general.

* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: Ruby's strong resemblance to Summer isn't simply physical. People who knew her mother comment that her personality seems to be similar, too. When Ruby tries to encourage Raven to join forces with the heroes against Salem, Raven bitterly observes that she sounds just like her mother. When Ruby tells Salem that the heroes will stop her, Salem calmly informs her that her mother said those exact same words to her... and was wrong, too.
