History Fanfic / AMoreFlawedGem

* CasanovaWannabe: Jack seems to think of himself as one. His smooth-talking doesn't really work on Yang, and even Ruby calls it cringy. Although his intent was to distract Yang from realizing he'd tried pick-pocketing her.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Three of the OC protagonists are hinted to have this to an extent. Cielo being an apparent orphan from a broken home, a life of crime, and an [[spoiler: implied connection to the Branwen tribe.]] Jack having grown up on the streets of a rough part of Vale and also having lived a life of crime. And Cards' severe lack of self-confidence seeming to stem from an overly strict, demanding mother.

** Indigo Arc is also this to her baby brothr, Jaune.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Despite being an extremist and major member of a terrorist organization, Adam Taurus is extremely unnerved by Cinder's plan to attack Beacon—finding it to be unnecessarily cruel considering Vale is one of the few places outside Menagerie where the Faunus can live relatively peaceful lives. He's also incredibly creeped out by Dr. Merlot.]]

* CoolBigSis: Same as canon, Yang is this to Ruby. When talking with Cards amd Cielo, she gushes about how proud of Ruby she is for making friends.

%%* UnlockingTheTalent: This is what Chloe and her high expectations are doing to Jaune, though it’s more pronounced than in canon between him amd Pyrrha.

* {{Adorkable}}: Cards seems to have almost been bred for this role. A hapless, but [[DeTerminator determined]] young woman who only becomes cuter the harder she tries (and fails). Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc also occupy this role, as per canon.

* {{Casanova}}: Jack seems to think of himself as one.

** [[spoiler: Dr. Merlot]] is a more villainous example of this.

* LopsidedDichotomy: These tend to pop up whenever Cielo or Jack are around.

* {{Tsundere}}: Weiss, natch.

* UnlockingTheTalent: This is what Chloe and her high expectations are doing to Jaune, though it’s more pronounced than in canon between him amd Pyrrha.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Same as in canon, but emphasized to a greater degree. Mistral is notably separated in two, Greece and East Asia respectively. Cielo is from the Heartland, the more Asian-inspired part of Mistral, whereas Pyrrha is Northern Mistrali, which is has a strong Greek feel to it. Chloe, a native of Vacuo, is also noted to have come from a ''kraal'', thus making her Remnant's equivalent of an Afrikaner.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Same as in canon, but emphasized to a greater degree. Mistral is notably separated into North and South, Greece and East Asia respectively. Cielo seems to be from a very Japanese-inspired part of Central Mistral, whereas Pyrrha is Northern Mistrali (Greek). Chloe, a native of Vacuo, is also noted to have come from a ''kraal'', thus making her Remnant's equivalent of an Afrikaner.

Cielo seems to be from a very Japanese-inspired part of South Mistral, whereas Pyrrha is Northern Mistrali (Greek). Chloe, a native of Vacuo, is also noted to have come from a ''kraal'', thus making her Remnant's equivalent of an Afrikaner.

* InSeriesNickName: As always, both Jack and Cielo are responsible for giving characters these, with Jack referring to Pyrrha as "Nikki" and Cielo referring to Cards by a different type of card game every time he speaks to her. Actually, Cielo is much ''worse'' since he [[{{TheNicknamer}} constantly makes up nicknames for people whose names he can't be bothered to remember or remember.]]

* ADorkable: Cards seems to have almost been bred for this role. A hapless, but [[DeTerminator determined]] young woman who only becomes cuter the harder she tries (and fails). Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc also occupy this role, as per canon.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: So far it looks like Chloe and Jaune are shaping up to be this.

** Cielo uses a long, single-edged [[{{HeroesPreferSwords}}sword]] that [[{{BifurcatedWeapon}} splits]] into [[{{DualWielding}} a pair of short swords]] that are also capable of being used as [[{{GunsAkimbo}}a pair of firearms.]]

-> '''Jaune:''' "You know, I’m not really sure how I’m supposed to hold a conversation with you."

* WrongNameOutburst: Inverted. Cielo accidentally refers to Cards by her ''actual'' name once they meet the Handyman. She doesn’t fail to notice this.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Despite being an extremist and major member of a terrorist organization, Adam Taurus is extremely unnerved by Cinder's plan to attack Beacon—finding it to be unnecessarily cruel considering Vale is one of the few places outside Menagerie where the Faunus can live relatively peaceful lives.
