* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged. In the original canon series, Weiss started off as initially snippy and entitled before mellowing out throughout the volumes, and later becoming the most level-headed member of Team RWBY. The webcomic makes her a full-on {{Tsundere}} in order to show her "hard-to-approached" personality at the start of the series.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the original canon series, Weiss' Semblance is hereditary, along with being awakened as her own power.

----
* AdaptationalBadass: While Blake is no slouch herself in the original canon series, her fighting style notably revolves around evasiveness and defense, and lacks the more offensive capabilities of her teammates. In the webcomic, she's not only able to fight more offensively but has the ultimate move called "[[DeathByAThousandCuts Eclipse]]".
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: According to Switchback, this version of Blake is much more emotionally distant and angst-filled, but with ''very'' good reasons. While her canon counterpart has also her fair share of [[{{Angst}} angst]], she nevertheless had a more sheltered upbringing (if ''[[ComicBook/RWBY2019 Issue #2]]'' is [[SeriesContinuityError considered]] canon) and most of her shy and aloof personality is the result of the strained relationship with her parents, the White Fang's radicalize actions against humanity and her abusive relationship with Adam.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of a separate species, Faunus is known as a subspecies of humanity, thus making Blake this in the webcomic.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the original canon series, Blake's relationship with Adam was described as "student and student" along with being romantic. The webcomic keeps their relationship as "student and mentor", but with a [[LikeBrotherAndSister familial]] connection instead.
** She and Sun knew each other since childhood, while Blake only met Sun when she's in her first-year attending Beacon Academy in the original canon series.
** Her relations to [[AdaptationNameChange Ghira and Kali Shanti]] are that of a goddaughter due to the deaths of her original birth parents, in comparison to their full-blooded one of the original canon series.
* BadassBookworm: She loves to read, and is a former White Fang member turned Huntress-in-training.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Sun Wukong.
* CompositeCharacter: Switchback states that he took influences from Shirow Miwa’s redesign of her for ''[[Manga/RWBY2015 RWBY]]'', and retool it to closely resemble her V1 design.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was orphaned at a very young age due to the death of her birth parents and was raised by Adam in the White Fang since the status of her godparents is unknown.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: "Eclipse" ultimately comes down like this. It involves creating dozens of Shadow Clones at the same time, and in the split second where all the clones still retain the physical form, force them to converge onto her target and attack all at once with the combined strength of a thousand Blakes.
* DoppelgangerAttack: She's capable of doing this with her Semblance. It's taken UpToEleven with her ultimate move, "Eclipse".
* FantasticRacism: Being a Faunus, she faced discrimination while growing up, and hides her animal trait underneath a large bow to blend in with the human crowd.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her outfit is designed by Switchback to be both elegant and practical.
* LittleBitBeastly: As a cat Faunus, she has two cat ears on her head, and is currently hiding them to avoid attention.
* NinjaLog: She mainly uses her Semblance to create a clone to serve as a distraction to evade from attacks.
* PerpetualFrowner: She's usually seen with a neutral or melancholic expression.

[[caption-width-right:350: “The Fun-Loving Biker”]]
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Switchback states that Yang will be much more irresponsible, impulsive, and argues with her teammates and teachers more at the start of this series.
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: In the original series, Yang's outfit already makes her a MsFanservice. But Yang's shorts are more torn and ragged in order to sell out her "rowdy, party girl" personality in the webcomic.
* BikerBabe: Her redesign is this to emphasize her thrill-seeking, adventurous personality.
* BoobsOfSteel: She has the largest breast size than her teammates, and is the strongest fighter out of all of them.
* CoolBigSis: Regardless of their distance, Yang is still the loving and caring sister to Ruby.
* CoolShades: Her aviator glasses are a permanent part of her redesign, and it sells her biker look more.
* CharacterDevelopment: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]... at first. As Yang prefers to not grow out of her current thrill-seeking, adventurous, party girl attitude.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Switchback states that Yang hates feeling helpless, and wouldn't want anyone to see her softer side.
* DudeMagnet: She's a very attractive girl and is stated to had several ex-boyfriends before the start of the series.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She may be a bit abrasive and is kind of a delinquent, but Yang nevertheless the kind older sister to Ruby, even if they weren't as close since childhood.
* SoreLoser: According to Switchback, she hates to lose.
* StaticCharacter: Invoked by herself, as Yang doesn't want to change her current attitude in fear of becoming like her mother, who's one of the most dangerous criminals in all of Remnant.
* TeamMom: Not yet, but Switchback states she will grow into this as part of her CharacterDevelopment.
* TookALevelInJerkass: After learning about her mother, Yang distanced herself from Ruby at the start of their teen years, and later became the thrill-seeking, adventurous, party girl, at the start of the series.

[[folder:Adam Taurus]]
-->"The Fanatic General of the White Fang"
One of the leaders of the White Fang, and Blake's former partner and mentor.
----
* AdaptedOut: His toxic romantic obsession with Blake is removed completely in the webcomic for a more parental and sibling-like dynamic.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[ZigzaggingTrope ZigZagged]]. In the original series, Adam is a MasterSwordsman, along with possessing a Semblance that can [[EnergyAbsorption absorb damage]] and [[ChargedAttack sends it back tenfold]]. However, his Semblance [[AchillesHeel only works through his sword]], and when deprived of it, he becomes powerless. In ''REMNANTS'', Adam doesn't suffer from the weakness of his canon counterpart, but he still requires a medium to use his Semblance since it doesn't come with the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers negation]] to deal with the recoil damage.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Adam still suffers the same tragedies as in the original canon series, his noble goal of liberating Faunus from human oppression is much more genuine and less self-serving, and is very loyal and caring to his friends in the webcomic.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Thanks to Switchback [[AdaptedOut omitting Adam's more toxic traits]] along with giving an AgeLift, the bull Faunus' is radically different compared to his canon counterpart. In the original canon series, Adam was presented as a calm and collected WellIntentionedExtremist who's on a mission to fight for the rights of the Faunus... [[BeneathTheMask at first]]; only revealed in the later volumes to be a hot-tempered, spiteful, and mentally insane {{Jerkass}} whose [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist noble actions are merely a "mask" to hide]] [[ItsAllAboutMe his true goal of correcting only his own suffering]], and is [[PsychoExboyfriend romantically]] [[{{Yandere}} obsessive]] of Blake. In this version, Adam's goal of liberating Faunus from human oppression ''is'' truly genuine, and he's more of an [[AloofAlly aloof]] NiceGuy whose loyal and caring to his friends and ''is'' capable of putting the needs of others before his own desires.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of a separate species, Faunus is known as a subspecies of humanity, thus making Adam this in the webcomic.
* AdaptationalWimp: [[ZigzaggingTrope ZigZagged]]. In the original series, Adam was a fierce warrior who mainly relies on channeling his Semblance through his sword and became powerless when deprived of it. Here, Adam doesn't have that weakness, but he still needs a medium in order to safely release the power of his Moonslice without suffering the severe recoil.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the original series, Adam's relationship with Blake was described as "mentor and student" along with being romantic. The webcomic keeps their relationship as "mentor and student", but with a [[LikeBrotherAndSister familial]] connection instead.
** In regards to Sun Wukong, Adam knew him when the latter was a child and trained him in combat alongside Blake. In the original canon series, Sun's existence was a complete unknown to Adam's knowledge for most of the volumes and they only met during the ''Battle of Haven''.
* AgeLift: In the original series, he's [[VagueAge estimated]] by the [[WordOfGod creators]] to be 23. The webcomic brings Adam's age at 28, making him 10 years older than Blake.
* AntiVillain: He's a powerful swordsman who's one of the leading figures of a radicalized organization who's willing to terrorize humanity... for the sake of liberating the Faunus from oppression.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He may carry himself in a calm and calculating manner, but deep down is a vengeful man willing to cut down any adversary to liberate his people from oppression.
* BigBrotherMentor: Switchback states that he's more of an older brother to Blake and to a lesser extent, Sun. He also trained both of them in combat when they were children.
* BloodKnight: Due to the burning passion from within, he enjoys and revels in combat.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was born into slavery, and lost his parents when they tried to help the other Faunus in a prison break.
* DoppelgangerAttack: When he accumulates enough energy through his Semblance, he can create clones of himself for a more added offense in a fight.
* EyeScream: Suffers this like his canon counterpart. Unlike his canon counterpart, Adam intentionally chooses to be branded in order to not only kill the guard who's responsible for his parents' death but to fully bring down the illegal mining operation that's causing trouble for many Faunus lives.
* MasterSwordsman: Adam is skilled in swordsmanship and is on par with a highly skilled Huntsman.
* NiceGuy: Despite his flaws, Adam is quite caring to those he's close to and is able to put their needs above his own desires. Also, only (and only if) you're a Faunus then Adam would be courteous and supportive. If you're a human or involved in the Faunus discrimination whether or not intentionally... then welp, it's nice knowing you.
* NinjaLog: While preferring to use his clones for offense, Adam can also have them used for evasive actions.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Blake, as her birth parents died long ago, while her godparents' status is unknown.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: {{Averted|Trope}}. Adam can suffer from recoil damage if he doesn't use a medium (e.g. tools or weapons) to safely release the stored energy.
* TheStoic: Justified. As he believes that being outwardly emotional will lead to one's death, considering what happened to his parents.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: This quote says it all:
--->'''Adam:''' "If they want a monster... I'll give them one."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He likes to drink black coffee.

----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In regards to the White Fang of the original canon series, Sun has a low opinion of them (seeing them has "[[HolierThanThou holier than thou]] creeps who use force to get what they want") and fight against their terrorist actions. While he does associates with them in the webcomic, he's only doing it for Blake's sake.
** In regards to Adam Taurus, Sun knew him as a child and mentored by the bull Faunus in combat alongside Blake. In the original canon series, Sun only heard of Adam through Blake's description of him for most of the volumes and they only met during the ''Battle of Haven''.
** He and Blake knew each other since childhood, while Sun only met Blake when she's in her first-year attending Beacon Academy in the original canon series.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of a separate species, Faunus is known as a subspecies of humanity, thus making Sun this in the webcomic.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Blake Belladonna.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: He has blond hair, but with a tan complexion.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Considering that she's the most wanted criminal in the World of Remnant, leading a kingdom's worth of sky pirates, and is enough of a threat for the four kingdoms to be wary of other than the ''[[TheHeartless Creatures of Grimm]]'', then she this by default.
* AdaptedOut: Raven's status as the Spring Maiden is removed in this series, as the concept of "Magic" isn't included.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[ZigZaggingTrope ZigZagging]]. In the original canon series, Raven is the leader of a BanditClan and one of the most [[SuperpowerLottery powerful]] characters[[note]]She's a trained Huntress, her Semblance can create [[ThinkingUpPortals portals]] to those she had bonded with, can transform into a bird for stealth and information gathering, and is one of the few who can exclusively use "[[WrongContextMagic Magic]]".[[/note]], but she prefers to keep a low profile. Despite her [[AdaptationalWimp deficency]] in the webcomic, Raven is feared by the World of Remnant as the "Sky Pirate Queen", who's leading a bandit ''[[UpToEleven kingdom]]'' of sky pirates in a [[CoolAirship flying fortress]].
* AdaptationalWimp: While she's still strong and skilled, Raven lacks the mystical abilities of her canon counterpart, and mostly had to rely on her air fleet of sky pirates and her reputation as TheDreaded.
* BanditClan: UpToEleven. Raven is practically in charge of an ''entire'' '''''kingdom''''' of them.
* CoolAirship: An air fleet big enough to house a kingdom's worth of sky pirates.
* TheDreaded: She isn't known as the "Sky Pirate Queen" just by raiding villages from above. If leading a bandit kingdom in a flying fortress isn't enough, then having Switchback describe Raven's fleet as something for the four kingdoms to be cautious of other than the '''''Creatures of Grimm''''', is saying something.
* FirstLove: To Taiyang Xiao Long.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was orphaned at a very young age due to the death of her birth parents and was raised by Adam in the White Fang since the status of her godparents is unknown.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: "Eclipse" ultimately comes down like this. It involves creating dozens of Shadow Clones at the same time, and in the split second where all the clones still retain the physical form, force them to converge onto her target and attack all at once with the combined strength of a thousand Blakes.
* DoppelgangerAttack: She's capable of doing this with her Semblance. It's taken UpToEleven with her ultimate move, "Eclipse".
* FantasticRacism: Being a Faunus, she faced discrimination while growing up, and hides her animal trait underneath a large bow to blend in with the human crowd.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her outfit is designed by Switchback to be both elegant and practical.

[[caption-width-right:350: “The Fun-Loving Biker”]]
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Switchback states that Yang will be much more irresponsible, impulsive, and argues with her teammates and teachers more at the start of this series.
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: In the original series, Yang's outfit already makes her a MsFanservice. But Yang's shorts are more torn and ragged in order to sell out her "rowdy, party girl" personality in the webcomic.
* BikerBabe: Her redesign is this to emphasize her thrill-seeking, adventurous personality.
* BoobsOfSteel: She has the largest breast size than her teammates, and is the strongest fighter out of all of them.
* CoolBigSis: Regardless of their distance, Yang is still the loving and caring sister to Ruby.
* CoolShades: Her aviator glasses are a permanent part of her redesign, and it sells her biker look more.
* CharacterDevelopment: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]... at first. As Yang prefers to not grow out of her current thrill-seeking, adventurous, party girl attitude.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Switchback states that Yang hates feeling helpless, and wouldn't want anyone to see her softer side.
* DudeMagnet: She's a very attractive girl and is stated to had several ex-boyfriends before the start of the series.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She may be a bit abrasive and is kind of a delinquent, but Yang nevertheless the kind older sister to Ruby, even if they weren't as close since childhood.
* SoreLoser: According to Switchback, she hates to lose.
* StaticCharacter: Invoked by herself, as Yang doesn't want to change her current attitude in fear of becoming like her mother, who's one of the most dangerous criminals in all of Remnant.
* TeamMom: Not yet, but Switchback states she will grow into this as part of her CharacterDevelopment.

!White Fang
[[folder:Adam Taurus]]
-->"The Fanatic General of the White Fang"
One of the leaders of the White Fang, and Blake's former partner and mentor.
----
* AdaptedOut: His toxic romantic obsession with Blake is removed completely in the webcomic for a more parental and sibling-like dynamic.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[ZigzaggingTrope ZigZagged]]. In the original series, Adam is a MasterSwordsman, along with possessing a Semblance that can [[EnergyAbsorption absorb damage]] and [[ChargedAttack sends it back tenfold]]. However, his Semblance [[AchillesHeel only works through his sword]], and when deprived of it, he becomes powerless. In ''REMNANTS'', Adam doesn't suffer from the weakness of his canon counterpart, but he still requires a medium to use his Semblance since it doesn't come with the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers negation]] to deal with the recoil damage.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Adam still suffers the same tragedies as in the original canon series, his noble goal of liberating Faunus from human oppression is much more genuine and less self-serving, and is very loyal and caring to his friends in the webcomic.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Thanks to Switchback [[AdaptedOut omitting Adam's more toxic traits]] along with giving an AgeLift, the bull Faunus' is radically different compared to his canon counterpart. In the original canon series, Adam was presented as a calm and collected WellIntentionedExtremist who's on a mission to fight for the rights of the Faunus... [[BeneathTheMask at first]]; only revealed in the later volumes to be a hot-tempered, spiteful, and mentally insane {{Jerkass}} whose [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist noble actions are merely a "mask" to hide]] [[ItsAllAboutMe his true goal of correcting only his own suffering]], and is [[PsychoExboyfriend romantically]] [[{{Yandere}} obsessive]] of Blake. In this version, Adam's goal of liberating Faunus from human oppression ''is'' truly genuine, and he's more of an [[AloofAlly aloof]] NiceGuy whose loyal and caring to his friends and ''is'' capable of putting the needs of others before his own desires.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of a separate species, Faunus is known as a subspecies of humanity, thus making Adam this in the webcomic.
* AdaptationalWimp: [[ZigzaggingTrope ZigZagged]]. In the original series, Adam was a fierce warrior who mainly relies on channeling his Semblance through his sword and became powerless when deprived of it. Here, Adam doesn't have that weakness, but he still needs a medium in order to safely release the power of his Moonslice without suffering the severe recoil.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the original series, Adam's relationship with Blake was described as "mentor and student" along with being romantic. The webcomic keeps their relationship as "mentor and student", but with a [[LikeBrotherAndSister familial]] connection instead.
** In regards to Sun Wukong, Adam knew him when the latter was a child and trained him in combat alongside Blake. In the original canon series, Sun's existence was a complete unknown to Adam's knowledge for most of the volumes and they only met during the ''Battle of Haven''.
* AgeLift: In the original series, he's [[VagueAge estimated]] by the [[WordOfGod creators]] to be 23. The webcomic brings Adam's age at 28, making him 10 years older than Blake.
* AntiVillain: He's a powerful swordsman who's one of the leading figures of a radicalized organization who's willing to terrorize humanity... for the sake of liberating the Faunus from oppression.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He may carry himself in a calm and calculating manner, but deep down is a vengeful man willing to cut down any adversary to liberate his people from oppression.
* BigBrotherMentor: Switchback states that he's more of an older brother to Blake and to a lesser extent, Sun. He also trained both of them in combat when they were children.
* BloodKnight: Due to the burning passion from within, he enjoys and revels in combat.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was born into slavery, and lost his parents when they tried to help the other Faunus in a prison break.
* DoppelgangerAttack: When he accumulates enough energy through his Semblance, he can create clones of himself for a more added offense in a fight.
* EyeScream: Suffers this like his canon counterpart. Unlike his canon counterpart, Adam intentionally chooses to be branded in order to not only kill the guard who's responsible for his parents' death but to fully bring down the illegal mining operation that's causing trouble for many Faunus lives.
* MasterSwordsman: Adam is skilled in swordsmanship and is on par with a highly skilled Huntsman.
* NiceGuy: Despite his flaws, Adam is quite caring to those he's close to and is able to put their needs above his own desires. Also, only (and only if) you're a Faunus then Adam would be courteous and supportive. If you're a human or involved in the Faunus discrimination whether or not intentionally... then welp, it's nice knowing you.
* NinjaLog: While preferring to use his clones for offense, Adam can also have them used for evasive actions.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Blake, as her birth parents died long ago, while her godparents' status is unknown.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: {{Averted|Trope}}. Adam can suffer from recoil damage if he doesn't use a medium (e.g. tools or weapons) to safely release the stored energy.
* TheStoic: Justified. As he believes that being outwardly emotional will lead to one's death, considering what happened to his parents.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: This quote says it all:
--->'''Adam:''' "If they want a monster... I'll give them one."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He likes to drink black coffee.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sun_wukong_7.jpg]]
A childhood friend of Blake Belladonna who's associating with the White Fang for her benefit.
----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In regards to the White Fang of the original canon series, Sun has a low opinion of them (seeing them has "[[HolierThanThou holier than thou]] creeps who use force to get what they want") and fight against their terrorist actions. While he does associates with them in the webcomic, he's only doing it for Blake's sake.
** In regards to Adam Taurus, Sun knew him as a child and mentored by the bull Faunus in combat alongside Blake. In the original canon series, Sun only heard of Adam through Blake's description of him for most of the volumes and they only met during the ''Battle of Haven''.
** He and Blake knew each other since childhood, while Sun only met Blake when she's in her first-year attending Beacon Academy in the original canon series.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of a separate species, Faunus is known as a subspecies of humanity, thus making Sun this in the webcomic.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Blake Belladonna.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: He has blond hair, but with a tan complexion.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: While he may be associating with the White Fang, he's only doing it for Blake's sake, and doesn't particularly agree with the group's radical actions for Faunus liberation.

!Raven's Fleet
[[folder:Raven Branwen]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sky_pirate_queen_raven_7.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Sky Pirate Queen]]
Yang Xiao Long's birth mother, and Renmant's most wanted criminal.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Considering that she's the most wanted criminal in the World of Remnant, leading a kingdom's worth of sky pirates, and is enough of a threat for the four kingdoms to be wary of other than the ''[[TheHeartless Creatures of Grimm]]'', then she this by default.
* AdaptedOut: Raven's status as the Spring Maiden is removed in this series, as the concept of "Magic" isn't included.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[ZigZaggingTrope ZigZagging]]. In the original canon series, Raven is the leader of a BanditClan and one of the most [[SuperpowerLottery powerful]] characters[[note]]She's a trained Huntress, her Semblance can create [[ThinkingUpPortals portals]] to those she had bonded with, can transform into a bird for stealth and information gathering, and is one of the few who can exclusively use "[[WrongContextMagic Magic]]".[[/note]], but she prefers to keep a low profile. Despite her [[AdaptationalWimp deficency]] in the webcomic, Raven is feared by the World of Remnant as the "Sky Pirate Queen", who's leading a bandit ''[[UpToEleven kingdom]]'' of sky pirates in a [[CoolAirship flying fortress]].
* AdaptationalWimp: While she's still strong and skilled, Raven lacks the mystical abilities of her canon counterpart, and mostly had to rely on her air fleet of sky pirates and her reputation as TheDreaded.
* BanditClan: UpToEleven. Raven is practically in charge of an ''entire'' '''''kingdom''''' of them.
* CoolAirship: An air fleet big enough to house a kingdom's worth of sky pirates.
* TheDreaded: She isn't known as the "Sky Pirate Queen" just by raiding villages from above. If leading a bandit kingdom in a flying fortress isn't enough, then having Switchback describe Raven's fleet as something for the four kingdoms to be cautious of other than the '''''Creatures of Grimm''''', is saying something.
* FirstLove: To Taiyang Xiao Long.
* NotoriousParent: She is Yang's biological mother. However, she is also the most renown female criminal on the planet. Seeing as how her younger half-sister Ruby follows a HeroicLineage, Yang worries that she's destined to follow in Raven's footsteps.
* RedBaron: She is known as "The Queen of Dawn", or more appropriately, "The Sky Pirate Queen".
