History Fanfic / SchneeHeroOrHuntress

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Weiss severely holds back her capabilities with her "Quirk" until the USJ attack.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Roman Torchwick somehow survived his canonical death and ended up on Earth with the League of Villains.]]

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Even with her Aura and Semblance, powerful and versatile as the latter is, Weiss would normally still be a student Huntress on Remnant if Beacon was still active, and there are some students her age that could match or even beat her, to say nothing of fully-trained Huntsmen. On Earth though, where ''no one else'' has Aura, with all the benefits it brings, with a Semblance that's far more versatile than the average Quirk, what Dust she has access to, and her skill with the sword, Weiss is easily one of the strongest students in 1-A, even managing to beat Bakugo to win the Sports Festival and actually give the USJ Nomu a hard time.

* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler:After Weiss wins the Sports Festival, Stain is implied to have set his sights on her as a target.]]

* EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: [[spoiler:Roman]] is wearing an eye patch in his first appearance in the story.

* HistoryRepeats: Chapter 60 shows that, [[spoiler:just like on Remnant, Roman has found himself working with a younger girl who is surprisingly dangerous and has abilities focused on disguising herself and confusing others. On Remnant it was Neo, on Earth it's Toga.]]

* {{Unishment}}: Weiss's "punishment" for using potentially lethal force on the USJ villains? Mandatory therapy, which she had previously rejected but clearly needs. And not being able to use her sword in combat exercises, but compared to losing it entirely...

* ShellShockedVeteran: Weiss has shades of this, including nightmares and flashbacks.

** [[spoiler:Pyrrha Nikos also appeared to survived somehow.]]

* ForceAndFinesse: Discussed. While berating her for holding back during exams, Aizawa advises Weiss to work on increasing her strength. Weiss counters that focusing on control allows people to accomplish thing more cleanly and minimises collateral damage.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Weiss reaction to being paired up with Mineta for combat exercise can be summed up with this sentence.

* EntertaininglyWrong: Between Weiss' white hair, obviously strong "Quirk" and several songs about escaping controling parent, Todoroki thinks that's she might be related to his mother, possibly even a sibling from a previous marriage.

* DramaticIrony: Aizawa threatens to expel Weiss in an attempt to encourage her to use her 'quirk' more, claiming that if she doesn't learn she'll wind up bleeding out in an alleyway somewhere. Not only is he trying to impress the danger of heroing on somebody who has already lived through dangerous situations, Weiss's ''arrival'' had her bleeding out in an alleyway before she was rescued by Yu.

* EpicFail: Weiss attempts to do dishes. Key-word being "attempts".

* TheAce: Weiss is this, due to getting top scores in both the UA entrance exam and the Quirk assessment test. Justified, since she's secretly older than the rest of her UA classmates and has more fighting experience. But see BrokenAce.

* BrokenAce: This is still Weiss Schnee we're talking about, complete with all the parental issues of late Volume Five ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', and the addition of almost bleeding out from Cinder's thrown javelin.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Weiss is fairly polite and courteous most of the time. When the League of Villains attacks the USJ, she shows no hesitation in using potentially ''lethal'' force on the ones attacking her, implicitly killing some.

* WrongContextMagic: Quirks are genetic superpowers that can be made stronger through physical training, but generally function within a very limited framework. Weiss's Semblance is something of a soul-based power, growing more versatile the more she focuses on her mental growth. Throw in that aura provides her a general physical boost on top of that, the (small) amount of Dust she has giving her some elemental abilities, and the fact that she's the only one of her classmates [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking carrying a sword]] instead of relying primarily on her abilities (with maybe some support gear to make it more effective) to fight, and she readily defies the standard view of how heroes work. All Might even wonders if she's a plant by All For One due to how powerful and versatile her "Quirk" is.
