* EliteMook: Yang nonchalantly strides up to the final draugr in Bleak Falls Barrow, expecting it to be as easy to defeat as the ones prior to it. It then blasts the team with the [[MakeMeWannaShout Unrelenting Force shout]] and pulls out a [[ElementalWeapon frost sword]], proceeding to put up a far tougher fight than the draugr before it.

* ChildofTwoWorlds: When Ruby and Blake get a chance to sit down and talk to Capric Thorn, he reveals that while his mother is/was a Bosmer, his father was a deer Faunus. His mother somehow ended up on Remnant, and he similarly found himself in Valenwood.

* IKnowYourTrueName: According to Volgahrotru, Alduin's control over other dragons relies on this; Volgahrotru gave Alduin a pseudonym and thus is not bound to him, unlike most dragons. Another dragon, "Tooths," changes his name and is not under Alduin's control for the same reason.

** Yang's lycantropy makes her vulnerable to silver, though her Aura allows her to better resist it compared to a normal werewolf. This becomes a huge problem when she gets hauled into [[spoiler: Cidhna Mine]] which is a silver mine. After being busted out, she becomes bed-ridden for a many days because of all the silver that she inhaled from the air inside the mine.

* SquishyWizard: Discussed. It's one of the reasons why Weiss continues to practice her swordplay despite diving into the magical arts, much to her classmates at the College of Winterhold's confusion. [[spoiler She also learns to summon Bound Armor, taking her further from the trope.]]

* {{Expy}}: There is an entire set of expies for [[Machinima/RedVsBlue the Reds and Blues]] involved in the civil war. Ironically the Red expies are Stormcloaks (who wear blue), and the Blues are Imperial Legionnaires (with red uniforms).

** The Courier's Guild is specifically noted to be a highly respected guild that operates throughout Tamriel, with its members being highly respected and also slightly feared. Lydia talks of a tale of a courier from Hammerfell being betrayed by a criminal client and left for dead, only for that client and his entire criminal empire to fall by the hands of the alive and furious courier, which is exactly what happened with Benny and the Courier in ''Videogame/{{Fallout New Vegas}}''.
** ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' character expies serving in the Stormcloak and Imperial armies. Ironically, the Reds serve the blue-clad Stormcloaks and the Blues serve the red-clad Imperials.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: The Five Heroes of the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion Crisis]], which occurred two centuries before RWBY arrived. Tales of their adventures managed to partially survive the post-invasion chaos, and several books were written about them. Blake reads ''Journey of the Heroes'' throughout much of the first act. [[spoiler: They eventually find out that four of the titular heroes were actually Team JNPR, who somehow managed to not only find their way to Tamriel but also arrive two centuries before RWBY did. The Nerevarine is strongly hinted to be Adam.]]

** The other planets in Remnant's solar system are Ramsey, Hullum, and Sorola, named after three of Rooster Teeth's founders, [[Characters/RoosterTeethTheOriginalSix Geoff Ramsey, Matt Hullum, and Gus Sorola]].

Tales of their adventures managed to partially survive the post-invasion chaos, and several books were written about them. Blake reads ''Journey of the Heroes'' throughout much of the first act. [[spoiler: They eventually find out that four of the titular heroes were actually Team JNPR, who somehow managed to not only find their way to Tamriel but also arrive two centuries before RWBY did. The Nerevarine is strongly hinted to be the same.]]

* UncertainDoom: The fates of Ish and Mail are as yet unknown; the their ship with the girls on it end on Nirn, but not them. As Faunus with the traits of marine animals, they could survive being in the middle of the ocean, as long as Grimm don't get them.

** The Forsworn at Reach, who worship Hagravens, are against human sacrifices and will banish those who are found guilty of that. One of them are actually horrified when they learn of what happened at Orphan Rock.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Elenwen thinks Isael is repulsive and has tried on multiple occasions to get rid
of her. [[spoiler: It's suggested that any investigation into Isael's assassination will be a formality at best.]]

* TakeThat: Weiss and Blake expressing their disdain on a few books chronicling the adventures of the Five Heroes of Oblivion and on how their authors embellish certain aspects of them such as making Johannes [[spoiler: (Jaune)]] a [[MarySue Mary Sue]].

* MixedAncestry: Ruby explains her varied ancestry when Sisca points out that she's "quite the mutt (affectionate). Along with being the Dragonborn and thus having the blood (and soul) of a dragon, she's part Valean, Vacuoan,Animese, and even had a Faunus grandmother, much to Weiss' surprise.
