* TheWorfEffect: Yang gets punched by a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Scizor]]-like Grimm in Episode 4 to illustrate the fact that Grimm controlled by Achroma's machines are more unpredictable and dangerous than in the wild. It happens again later in the same chapter when Yang wails on Leo while he uses his semblance to NoSell her blows before [[WouldHitAGirl delivering a hefty punch to her face]].

Tried to clean up a page with a lot wrong with it. Spoiler tagging over use (the page is almost entirely white). Zero Context Examples. Example Indentation. Examples Are Not Arguable. Word Cruft. Gushing. Trope misuse. No spoilers above the example line. Removed empty sections. Tropes shouldn't rely on quotes or people visiting other pages to figure out how its being used. Tropes should only be listed based on events that have happened, not future events authors claim will happen eventually, so removed those (work is only up to Chapter 8, which the author claims is not complete and stops mid-scene, so removed all references to events beyond the half of Chapter 8 that's online). Some entries seem to be author commentaries about their own work rather than trope entries, so also removed those. Please see Administrivia and How To Write An Example.


NOTE: While the story isn't finished, a lot of things have already been planned out, so there are also Tropes pertaining to future events as well. Read these at your own risk.

!'''Weiss Schnee'''

* TykeBomb: [[spoiler: Vlad never intended to raise Weiss as an heir to the Schnee Dust Company like she thought, but to build up her aura capacities high enough to use as one of the keys to awakening Giranarok and obliterate half of Remnant.]]



A team introduced in this story, Team NAMA is comprised of [[TheLeader Nived Harem]], [[CasanovaWannabe Alexi Harem]], [[GirlyGirl Makoto Misaki]], and [[TomBoy Akira Misaki]], who have come over to Vale from Vacuo in order to attend Beacon. The team role for them happened quite easily, as Nived and Alexi are brothers while Makoto and Akira are sisters. On top of that, Nived and Makoto are also dating. Since, Akira is still a year too young to be attending, her roles at Beacon Academy are filled in by [[TheSixthRanger Minamizato Kanon]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Much like her sister Akira, Makoto has gone from a normal love interest in Go! Go! Nippon! to a pretty badass Huntress-in-training in ''RWBY: Grimm Darkness'' and can be considered on par with Pyrrha in the power of her semblance.
* BattleCouple: With Nived Harem.
* FlechetteStorm: One of her attack strategies is to throw a flurry of fletchettes at foes (many times after having stopped time).
* StoryBreakerPower: If it weren't for the fact that her semblance drains her aura and can't be used indefinitely, Makoto would become too overpowered.

[[spoiler: However, Vlad is far worse than that, as it turns out he's very cruel and abusive and is also responsible for Weiss's scar over her eye. However, even that's just the tip of the iceberg. As it turns out, Vlad is using his own company for an evil scheme that will change all of Remnant for the worse! He's been mining Dust over the years as well as breeding Weiss to serve a role in his plan. Vlad is even racist against the Faunus and also has a hatred for Huntsmen and Huntresses.
