* AdaptationalSexuality: In canon, Weiss has only shown attraction towards Neptune. In ''Scars'' she's explicitly lesbian.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Weiss had an ambiguous disorder until the writer clarified in comments that she has schizoaffective disorder (most likely the depressive type). Weiss' symptoms include poor self-esteem, occasional self-starvation, depression, SelfHarm (namely, cutting her arms), auditory and visual {{hallucinations}}, anhedonia (feeling empty), and [[DrivenToSuicide suicidal ideation]]. Weiss' illness has yet to be diagnosed in-universe due to Weiss not receiving psychiatric help.
* DrivenToSuicide: She's mentioned feeling depressed and suicidal in the past. Some of her larger wounds might signify {{Bungled Suicide}}s. Jn Volume 4, [[spoiler:she mortally stabs herself but is saved by her mother]].
* InterruptedSuicide: She attempts to kill herself but [[spoiler:is saved from bleeding out by her mother]].
* ImportantHaircut: She crops off half of her hair [[spoiler:after [[TheRunaway running away from home]] in Volume 4]].

* AdaptationNameChange: "Belladonna" is an alias that comes from her old moniker ("the Belladonna") as a White Fang member. Her real name is [[spoiler:Hozuki Blake]].

* ReligiousBruiser: She worships the Ishvara pantheon and, while she's not open about it due to the fact it's a predominantly Faunus religion, she's quite devout.

Added DiffLines:
* AdaptationalUgliness: Downplayed. Yang's appearance is roughed up to emphasise her tough upbringing. Her nose is crooked and she's missing a few teeth from her years of FightClubbing.

* BigBrotherInstinct: She's very attached to her little sister Ruby and would do anything to protect her.
* GenerationXerox: Like both Raven and Taiyang, she has [[spoiler:unrequited feelings towards a female teammate]].
* HollywoodAtheist: It's implied that she stopped believing in gods after Summer died.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: At seventeen she's already fond of alcohol (especially Strawberry Sunrises).
* SirSwearsAlot: She curses the most out of the main characters.
