The original posters idea of what's attractive is not universal.


* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Inverted for many of the characters, due to the game's distinct art style(s). The artists also don't shy away from depicting characters in the midst of battle as being sweaty and haggard.
** Especially notable in the case of Yang, who goes from being one of the more conventionally attractive characters to having much of her canon 'femininity' removed, giving her a much heavier frame, barrel chest, and a thick jaw.

* BabiesEverAfter: Several epilogues indicate that Ruby and her love interest and/or the PairTheSpares of the remaining team RWBY members have one or more children.



* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: A variation: if Yang's romance is not disabled, she will admit to Ruby that when they were kids she thought they were supposed to get married one day because of the implications of how her dragons acted toward Ruby. Ruby can say that she thought that too.



* MarryForLove: [[spoiler:When Winter suggested that Weiss marry Ruby to bring her into the family so that they could talk about Myrtenaster, Weiss was initially outraged because she only wanted to marry for love. When Winter then commented that in that case Weiss must not love Ruby, Weiss nearly threw her drink in her face, making her realize that she did actually love Ruby.]]



* MixAndMatchCritters: The chimera in Spiritus Bellatorum.
* ModularEpilogue: The epilogue takes the form of multiple pages for the different characters with text that gives an idea of how they ended up after the end.



** When Pyrrha's semblance awakens, Weiss notes that she now has control over polarity, and Ruby is confused because Pyrrha wasn't only able to affect the polearms. In the original show, when Pyrrha tells Ruby about her semblance, Ruby makes a similar confused comment about her being able to control poles.
** During Yang's romance, she at one point says "Well. That was a thing." which is something she said in the original show after the defeat of the nevermore in the forest.



* NotBloodSiblings: Yang is one of the potential love interests for Ruby. Unlike the source material, though, they aren't blood related at all. However, players can subvert what usually comes from this trope by having Ruby say she's always thought of Yang as her sister, blood relative or not. If so, Yang's romance path becomes [[PlatonicLifePartners wholly platonic]] and their scenes together are modified to cut out flirty subtext.
