Gender Flipped has been disambiguated.


* LadyAndKnight: GenderFlipped example in both Jaune/Ruby and Mordred/Garnet. The former are the White Lord and White Knight, while the latter are Black Lord and Black Knight, doubling as an EvilCounterpart to Jaune and Ruby's own relationship. The romantic BodyguardCrush angle is there as well, with Garnet harbouring a long unfulfilled love for Mordred and while Ruby and Jaune's relationship slowly develops into a romantic one.

Misuse. The trope needs two characters named the same, not a team and a character.


* OneSteveLimit: Averted.
** There's some comedy and drama that comes with the fact that "RWBY" as in the team and "Ruby" the huntress sound the same. In the mini-tournament, when Team JNPR shouts their battle cry "For RWBY" (Team RWBY was out looking for Blake and hand to drop out of the tournament), Ruby gets a thrill because she thinks Jaune is crying "For Ruby."
** Malik. Despite being a family whose semblance- all of them- are shapeshifters with powers limited only by their imagination, it seems that they dropped the ball on the naming front because there are three generations of Maliks. One is dead, but that still leaves Malik (the founder of the White Fang and Faunus community leader) and his daughter, Malik the Third. Who is also just known as Malik. One of the more confusing scenes is when Malik III, disguised as Malik, claims that she wants to meet Jaune and Sun, and does so, only for Malik II to show up and ruin the disguise, then both Maliks have lunch with them.

* DontYouDarePityMe: In a combination of wounded pride, seeing how far he is behind everyone else, it being made clear that he's a "charity case," and Ruby's unintentional condescension, Jaune eventually snaps at Ruby for trying to help him get better.
** It's later revealed that his reaction to Ruby's coddling was because his own parents coddled him, not wanting him to be a Hunter or get hurt in any way- and it was stifling for him. Getting it from Ruby, on top of everything else, was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Team JNPR crashes as RWBY heads to Mountain Glenn, it turns out that there was no big thing that made the Bullhead go down- the engines simply exploded and they crashed into the Grimmlands for seemingly no reason, and the pilots were experienced enough to know that it wasn't normal. The following chapter reveals that there was a simultaneous crash of another air transport that killed many nobles, and that one of the escaped members of the White Fang murdered ''another'' noble at the same time. Given Jaune's RoyalBlood, that makes three major events that either did (or nearly) ended the lives of nobles in a 24 hour period. [[spoiler: This culminates in the Monarch's assassination, and Qrow revealing that there's been a very bloody underground battle where someone has been trying to kill off any people with Royal Blood. The Bullhead Crash of JNPR was an attempt on Jaune's life. Near the finale, it's revealed that it was Adam working with Mordred who conducted the assassination attempts.]]

* SociallyAwkwardHero: Ruby's youth and great skills are given a bit of a deconstruction here, as her attempts to be cheerful at Jaune (coupled with her own social inexperience making her seem really condescending) are not played for laughs as they normally are, and in fact drive a wedge into their friendship.
** They hit her ''again'' in the following arc, when she loses a match to Pyrrha (over what is essentially "Who gets to be Jaune's friend,") and accuses her of cheating when she loses control of Crescent Rose. Pyrrha, not being in public, nor having to pretend to be nice for the media, is cool and curt towards her and it's clear that she's not in the "person I am friends with" category and in the "Spoiled brat who accuses me of cheating after losing a fight" category that she's dealt with so often in tournaments. As the author lampshades, "Only in fiction are the socially awkward the ones who you want to make the best friends with. In real life, they aren't necessarily all that endearing."

* StationsOfTheCanon: Averted. Thanks to Jaune's presence in the episode one fight against Torchwick (by getting in his way and falling on the man), it leads to Torchwick being arrested and Cinder Fall being taken down. After that (and up until the Dance) the plot ''somewhat'' stays the same, hitting the basic points- Jaundice, Forever Fall, Docks, etc, but the circumstances behind them are different. Ultimately, the background plot is completely different from the canon one- one based on the Maidens, Relics, Gods, and Salem- in favor of one that is based around court intrigue and an attempt to seize power from the shadows. [[spoiler: Or at least, it seems this way, until Tyrian Callows shows up to instigate a riot by trying to kill Jaune's mother.]]
** In the finale, there's an interesting case of the Battle of Beacon, which in canon was the finale of Season 3, being combined with the Breach, the finale of Season 2.

* AdultFear:
** Yang's chapter of ''Househusband Macho'' is basically "Adult Fear - The Short Story," the trope even being name dropped in the author's notes. She works a dangerous job late into the night (implied to be more in the fighting criminals aspect of Huntress Life), and any moment Jaune could get a call saying that he needs to ID her body and that their children now don't have a mother. Meanwhile, Yang has moments terrified that if something were to happen to her, Jaune would fall apart just like Taiyang.
** An interlude chapter, the wife (whomever the reader wants it to be) rushes home after hearing about the White Fang making a retaliatory attack on Jaune and the twins at home while she's away. [[spoiler:Don't worry, Beacon drop out or not, [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome Jaune still kicked their asses, with a baby in each arm]].]]

Plot Happens, none of these outcomes are "Surprisingly Realistic" and are just shoehorns


* RealityEnsues: In the camping trip, Pyrrha is the least prepared for it, but Jaune (whose family lives on the outskirts of civilization and faces potential Grimm attacks daily) and Ren and Nora (who were orphans who lived on the road) absolutely thrive, since they've been living this lifestyle for a long time. By the same logic, Team RWBY fails hilariously, as their team consists of four girls who have never been camping once in their entire life and threw their supplies in at the bags at the last second.
** Jaune's Royal Blood is interesting, but because his family was stripped of all titles and came from the losing side of a civil war, they don't benefit from it. No land, titles, or money- they're basically a normal family who live on the frontier.
