History Trivia / RWBY

* HeyItsThatVoice: The female narrator of the first episode? That's Jen Taylor, the voice of [[{{Franchise/Halo}} Cortana]].

** Gavin Free was originally slated to voice Junior. Though he was replaced by fellow Achievement Hunter Jack Pattillo, it has been confirmed he will play someone else in the series.
*** This is somewhat humorous when one realizes the scene was originally Barbara putting Gavin's balls in a death grip. His signature scream probably would've been included, too. Given that Barbara and Gavin are RoosterTeeth fandom's OneTruePairing, the {{squee}}s may have overwhelmed Gavin's scream somehow.

* MeaningfulName: It may be a coincidence, so it's here for now, but Pyrrha Nikos's name is very similar to PyrrhicVictory. {{Foreshadowing?}}

** Professor Ozpin was originally supposed to be voiced by MontyOum himself.

** Before their names were revealed, Pyrrha was Umber, Nora was Apricot, and Ren was Nero. The first letters of their names, along with Jaune's, were meant to spell JAUN in the same way that Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang spelled RWBY. After their full names were revealed, ANVL became a short-lived placeholder, derived from their surrnames: Arc, Nikos, Valkyrie and Lie (though Ren's surname is debatable). It was quickly replaced with JNPR (Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren) once [[Word of God Monty]] tweeted that it wasn't ANVL.

The first letters of their names, along with Jaune's, were meant to spell JAUN in the same way that Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang spelled RWBY. One their real names were revealed, though, their team name was changed to ANVL, from their surrnames: Arc, Nikos, Valkyrie and Lie (though Ren's surname is debatable).

** The guy in green seen in the opening with the rest of Jaune's team has been called Nero until his debut. Meanwhile, the red-haired girl was called Umber and the orange-haired girl was Apricot. The first letters of their names, along with Jaune's, were meant to spell JAUN in the same way that Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang spelled RWBY.

*** Agent Conneticut (Samantha Ireland) is now a MotorMouth (Nora Valkyrie)

*** Agent Texas (Kathleen Zuelch) has added [BadAssTeacher teaching] to her BadAss pedigree (Glinda Goodwich)

** Kathleen Zuelch (Voice of Glinda Goodwitch) also voices Agent Texas in Roosterteeth's other series RedVSBlue.
** Shannon [=McCormic=], the voice of Agent Washington (Also from RedVsBlue) has come a long way from being a Freelancer grunt to a Headmaster of huntsmen and huntresses (Ozpin).

** Some of the techniques also get nicknames, such as Weiss's SteppingStonesInTheSky being called 'Air Step' and Adam's OHKO slash against the Spider Droid being called 'Seeing Red' or 'Moonslice', the latter of which is based on [[https://twitter.com/montyoum/status/317198713158262784/photo/1 a tweet from Monty]] with notes about what seems to be the Black Trailer.

* FanNickname:

*** Team RWBY wasn't supposed to have hair colors that matched their theme colors. Yang was the only one who ended up keeping her original hair color.

Given that Barbara and Gavin are RoosterTeeth fandom's OneTruePairing, the {{squee}}s may have overwhelmed Gavin's scream somehow.

* MythologyGag: http://montyoum.deviantart.com/art/Icarus-57849822 Reading the description of one of Monty's earlier works reveals that by complete accident and rolling with it, he made a movie with only white, black and red as colors. He then decided to make a movie later on down the road based on this due to the artistic value. Sound familiar? Also not that this was release in 2007, five years before RWBY started serious development.* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Professor Ozpin was originally supposed to be voiced by MontyOum himself.
