* HidingYourHeritage: Similarly to in canon, Blake does this, being a Faunus passing as a human. It’s even more necessary here due to Faunus not being allowed to attend Beacon. [[spoiler:However, since Faunus are much more animalistic than the LittleBitBeastly they are in canon, it took more than a bow for Blake to do this. She had her body surgically altered through a Semblance, and though what she lost isn’t fully described, we know she gave up fur and cat ears. All she kept after the fact was a set of [[NaturalWeapon feline claws.]]]]

* HenotheisticSociety: Like most people from Atlas, Weiss's family follows the Faith of Decum Luna. There are ten different gods but Atlasian families only worship one of the gods as their guardian. The family's chosen god determines whether they're soldiers, artisans, or craftsmen. Families only marry into families who have the same religious beliefs as them, but Weiss' parents are a rare case of a mixed-belief couple. As a result, Weiss feels some InternalizedCategorism that her FictionalDisability of being disconnected from her soul has to do with her parent's taboo marriage.

* DarkFic: The intention of ''Let Us Be Your Poison'' is to turn ''RWBY'' into a "dark fairy-tale" and it shows. All of the levity of Volume 1 is removed. For example, the Beacon test has been changed (even in-universe, due to lawsuits) and replaced with a series of tests. The first one is a "simple" endurance test consisting of staying in an "x" position for as long as possible while watching or listening to shock videos.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Bordering on MaliciousMisnaming. Upon meeting Jaune, Weiss keeps on calling him "John" to show her apathy towards him.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Weiss' character is a lot meaner. Upon meeting Ruby it looks like she's been made an AdaptationalNiceGuy, but then she tells Ruby to kill herself and goes on a rant that leaves Ruby teary-eyed.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Velvet is a human instead of a faunus. Faunus are banned at Beacon and there's no way that Velvet could hide her ears like Blake does.
* AlternateUniverseFic: The story rewrites ''RWBY'' from the start.
* SiblingYinYang: Quiet, awkward Ruby contrasts with her friendly and sociable sister Yang.
