[[caption-width-right:350:A chance encounter leads to an unforgettable journey]]

* AdultFear: Just like any parents or parental figures, they have a lot to worry about.
** Tai is worried about what will happen to Ruby and Yang on their journey, but he still gives them his blessing to travel.
** Qrow [[spoiler:finds Ruby nearly beaten to death in Chapter 37, and he knows someone wants to eat her eyes to gain greater power. He is understandably concerned for her.]]

* BadassGay: Both Ruby and Weiss have been confirmed to be this while it is unknown if any of the other characters will be.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Weiss is still rude to Ruby at first but much less so than when they first met in canon.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11841621/1/The-Princess-and-the-Rose The Princess and Rose]] is an Alternate Universe ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fanfiction that takes place in a Medieval setting by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5447002/J-Van-A J. Van A]]. Weiss is the second Princess of Atlas and Ruby as a commoner who works as a simple farmhand on her Uncle Qrow's farm. Fate causes their paths to cross when Ruby saves the lost princess from grimm and bring her back to her Uncle's farm. This chance encounter leads to an unforgettable adventure for the two girls and the companions they would gather.

!!The Princess and the Rose provide examples of:

* AFriendInNeed: Ruby decides to join Weiss's journey solely because she found out that Weiss wishes to avenge her mother and protect what is left of her family.

* ActionGirl: It would be harder to list any female in this story who isn't an action girl.

* BadassPrincess: Weiss may be a princess, but that doesn't stop her from being any less badass.

* CoolUncle: Qrow maintains this role for Ruby and Yang.

* ParentalSubstitute: Before the beginning of the story and during the first story arc, Ruby spent most of her time helping her Uncle Qrow on his farm. She seems to live with him more than her father.

!!The Princess and Rose provide examples of:

* BigSisterInstinct: Yang is this to Ruby full stop. This is most notably shown after Ruby and Weiss are kidnapped. After Blake comes up with a plan, Yang immediately rushes off before Blake finishes speaking much to her chagrin.

* GoodParents: Tai is a good father to Ruby and Yang.

* OpenSecret: While Weiss does a good job preventing other people from finding out she is a princess, it becomes this [[spoiler:in Chapter 35. After being kidnapped along with Ruby, Weiss tells Roman Torchwick she is a princess and offers him a reward in an attempt to save Ruby's life, but it backfires. Qrow lampshades that Torchwick will most likely tell other people about this if he can get money out of it.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Weiss shows signs of this early on. At the beginning of the story, Weiss thinks her life is worth more than a commoner's. While she is grateful to Ruby for saving her life, she is still somewhat rude to the girl. After staying with Ruby for a prolonged period of time, she learns some humility. By Chapter 12, she tells Ruby she thinks of her as a friend. [[spoiler:In Chapter 35, she risks her life by bargaining with it in exchange for Ruby's release.]]

* DeathByAdaptation: Weiss's mother was killed Adam while she is still alive in canon.
