to:

* AbledInTheAdaptation: Played with. Both Cinder and Ruby lose one of their eyes, but keep all their limbs, unlike in canon, where Cinder lost both her arm and eye, but Ruby got away unscathed.



* DeathByAdaptation: Mercury is killed by Ruby after trying to fight her on Beacon Tower, as Pyrrha was killed by Cinder in canon.

Added DiffLines:

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Ruby genuinly believes that she is making the world better by working with Ozpin, hoping to use the relics to put an end to Grimm and suffering. And she will kill anyone she needs to to reach those goals.

-->'''Cinder:''' What sort of messed-up family reunion is this?
* BodySurf: Just like in canon [[spoiler:Ozpin reincarnates upon his death in a new body]], but instead of sharing control with his host, he robs them of all autonomy with rather horrifying results.
* BrokenPedestal: Team WTCH learns that Ozpin's soul can never be destroyed and lose all faith in Salem as she never let them think she might be keeping secrets. Salem's reaction is to leave them to pursue her goals alone, realizing how upset everyone is.

** On a similar note, Nora dies after being killed by Grimm while fighting Ruby, leaving Ren to mourn for her as Neo did in canon for Roman.

* SparedByAdaptation: Unlike in canon, Roman isn't killed by Grimm and lives to go to Atlas.
** Tock is also not killed by Maria, being an old lady now.
* TragicKeepsake: Emerald wears Mercury's sash and parts of his prosthetics as armor in memory of him.
* WeakButSkilled: Just like in canon, Mercury lacks a Semblance and instead works hard to prove you don't need to have a special power to be a hero, becoming a world-renown fighter.
