Cyrus is ''outraged'' that she spared the people who slaughtered their parents, openly declaring she's beyond redemption.]]


Added DiffLines:

* MoralityChainBeyondTheGrave: Naomi tries this, telling Cyrus that their parents wouldn't have wanted him to become such a monster or follow Adam's path of seeking Faunus supremacy. Cyrus just blows her off.

* JustAMachine: Inori's response to Ruby furiously calling her out on [[spoiler:having Penny ReforgedIntoAMinion]] in chapter 42 amounts to this.
-->'''Inori''': Get a grip. It's just a machine. All she's ever been is a weapon. I simply changed her sense of loyalty.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Emerald and Mercury may work for Cinder and loyally follow her, but when they break into [[MadScientist Inori's]] lab to retrieve her research on their boss' orders, they're both absolutely appalled and disgusted by the sight of such things as dead bodies in PeopleJars, and the discovery that Inori uses the corpses as {{Wetware CPU}}s.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Cyrus, Naomi's brother, has completely bought into Adam's views of Faunus supremacy, and repeatedly blows off any collateral damage he causes, like sneaking Grimm into Beacon Academy during the attack on Vale, stating outright that it's nothing less than what humanity deserves for how they've treated the Faunus. After the fall of Vale, he's fallen so far that the instant his youngest sister Alana discovers the truth and decides to leave the White Fang, he tries to kill her on the spot.

** Iris' father is a ControlFreak who is furious that she broke their family tradition to become a Huntress. When she's taken home after the Fall of Beacon, she challenges him to an honor duel for the right to live her right as she wants. She wins... [[spoiler:but then it turns out he [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink poisoned her food]] with the deadly herb Scarlet Iago, which would have killed her had Ovan nod come along and [[FindTheCure gotten the cure]].]]

'''''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10940628/1/Roar-of-the-LION Roar of the LION]]''''' is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' FanFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5725698/TheSib The Sib]].

The fic focuses on the {{OC}} group Team LION, as they join Beacon Academy and get involved in the fight against Salem.

!!''Roar of the LION'' contains examples of the following tropes:
------
* AbusiveParents:
** [[MadScientist Inori]] [[spoiler:is revealed to be Ovan's mother. She conducted horrific experiments on him and his sister, Virtue, with the latter being used as the [[WetwareCPU power source]] behind her current Extermination Armor. Nowadays, Ovan's entire motive is to kill Inori for revenge]].
** Iris' father is a ControlFreak who is furious that she broke their family tradition to become a Huntress. When she's taken home after the Fall of Beacon, she challenges him to an honor duel for the right to live her right as she wants. She wins... [[spoiler:but then it turns out he [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink poisoned her food]] with the deadly herb Scarlet Iago, which would have killed her had Ovan nod come along and [[FindTheCure gotten the cure]].]]
* AxCrazy: Inori is violently unstable, and commits all manner of horrible atrocities and inhumane experiments, both ForScience and [[ForTheEvulz her own sadistic amusement]]. Even when working with Cinder and the White Fang, she regularly kills their minions for the sake of experimenting on their corpses, largely to use them as power sources for her machines. She's so depraved and monstrous that when Emerald and Mercury break into her lab on Cinder's orders, they're [[EvenEvilHasStandards appalled by what they find inside]]; even ''Adam Taurus'' of all people is disturbed by her.
* BlowYouAway: Iris' Semblance allows her to control the wind.
* BullyHunter:
** Ovan is first introduced fighting off a group of anti-Faunus bullies who were harassing a dog Faunus.
** In chapter 10, when he sees Naomi being harassed by Cardin and his team, Leon personally steps in and threatens to shoot him with his arrows if he doesn't back off. Cardin proves to be a PaperTiger, and [[BringMyBrownPants wets his pants]] before fleeing.
** Immediately after his run-in with Leon, Coco gets in on the act, [[GroinAttack hitting Cardin in the crotch]] with her handbag before walking off, warning him not to torment Velvet or ''any'' other Faunus again.
* CainAndAbel: Naomi becomes this to her brother Cyrus. While initially sent to Beacon Academy as TheMole, she [[BecomingTheMask comes to realize that not all humans are bad]] and [[DefectorFromDecadence defects]]. Sadly, Cyrus has been utterly corrupted by [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Adam]], and vows to kill his own sister for betraying the White Fang.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Emerald and Mercury may work for Cinder and loyally follow her, but when they break into [[MadScientist Inori's]] lab to retrieve her research on their boss' orders, they're both absolutely appalled and disgusted by the sight of such things as dead bodies in PeopleJars, and the discovery that Inori uses the corpses as {{Wetware CPU}}s.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Ovan starts out as a bit of a {{Jerkass}} and is firmly in the GoodIsNotNice camp even after he mellows out, but it doesn't stop him from being disgusted by [[RichBitch Weiss]]' [[FantasticRacism bigotry towards Faunus]].
-->'''Ovan''': Wow, and you call ''me'' a monster.
* EvilIsPetty: Inori, hands down. When Cinder decides to wash her hands of her and tries to steal her research, Inori hacks into her DoNotAdjustYourSet threat after Pyrrha accidentally kills Penny to broadcast her own, outing Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury to everyone in attendance and exposing Cinder's planned attack on Vale purely to spite her.
* ForScience: Part of the reason Inori does what she does. Her current plan is to capture one of the Maidens for her experiments; several people point out that the Maidens' powers are [[WrongContextMagic beyond simple scientific comprehension]], to which Inori retorts, "What's life without a few challenges?"
* ForTheEvulz: A mix of this and ForScience is Inori's entire motivation. When she creates Virtue, her first [[KillerRobot Extermination Armor]], the very first thing she does is order it to go on a massacre and sends it to attack Vale General Hospital.
* InspirationallyDisadvantaged: Leon's younger sister, Terra. When they were children, they were attacked by a Grimm, and she suffered horrific injuries to her legs. While they were rescued by a Huntress, Terra's leg injuries were so serious that she may never walk again, and she currently lives at the physically disabled ward at Vale General Hospital, undergoing weekly check-ups and taking constant painkillers to soothe the chronic pain. Despite this, Terra remains chipper and optimistic for the future. When he sees her, [[spoiler:[[TheSociopath Mercury]] actually feels sorry for her enough that he [[PetTheDog makes powered leg braces for her and gives them to her in secret]].]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Leon, a human, and Naomi, a fox Faunus, end up together over the course of the fic.
* PetTheDog: After meeting Leon's InspirationallyDisadvantaged sister Terra, [[spoiler:Mercury, knowing what it's like to not have working legs, makes her special powered leg braces that allow her to walk again and feed her painkillers to soothe her injuries.]]
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: After [[spoiler:Penny is destroyed during the fall of Vale, Inori retrieves her remains and rebuilds her into her latest Extermination Armor model. Ruby is horrified to see her in such a state during the fight at Haven Academy.]]
* WetwareCPU: How Inori creates her Extermination Armors. [[spoiler:Her latest one is powered by her own daughter Virtue.]]
