*** By the end of the fall Roy is presumably killed by a Nevermore, Fox is gravely injured by Adam, Cardin loses an eye, Velvet's ear is partially cut off, and Neptune is bound to a wheelchair from being hit in the spine.

** Ciel debuts and Scarlet and Sage are properly introduced, in Volume 2 instead of Volume 3.

%%* DramaticIrony:

%%* HeelRealization:

** Nora seems to have self-worth issues that manifests as jealousy towards Pyrrha. She never got to talk or apologize to Pyrrha after their fight before Pyrrha's death.

** Yang's abandonment issues are more in the forefront with her choosing to party and drink to avoid thinking about it. She's also a little more hands off with Ruby because of it.
** Because of her closeness with Tukson, his death greatly affects Blake along with realizing that Adam knows where she is.
** Nora seems to have self-worth issues that manifests as jealousy towards Pyrrha.

** Weiss' initial FantasticRacism is turned up to the point where she says faunus are naturally subservient to humans. She also states that it's childish to think that faunus on the same level as humans. It's so offensive a rant that all her teammates get mad at her.

* KnowsWhenToFoldThem: When Bolin realizes most of his team were knocked out of the ring and JNPR outnumbering him, he quietly drops his staff and surrenders.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Nora. While she's still just as sweet and bubbly as her original counterpart, she harbored intense jealousy towards Pyrrha because Pyrrha always gets the praise from the crowd when JNPR appears. She straight-up tells Pyrrha that she must be is addicted to the attention and that Nora is better than Pyrrha. She also lashes out at Jaune, claiming the only reason Jaune is any good as a huntsman is because Pyrrha helped him and he wouldn't have done it on his own.

** Neo is a reoccuring villain from Volume 1.

** Ciel becomes a reoccuring character in Volume 2.

** [[https://youtu.be/L1eQUIU2S5I?list=PLBblEzNfvWhYiQVUwNmx7t038AYCWCB-a&t=357 According to the commenter TheIntratec9 (who suggested the idea in the first place)]], "Critter" is a deragatory term used against all faunus and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything sounds similar to a real-life deragatory term used against African-Americans]].

** The speciesism between faunus and humans originates both from jealousy of each other's traits and because they were rivals during early history. Speciesism against faunus also differs from region to region and sub-species to sub-species.

* InternalReveal: Blake being a cat faunus is changed into one of these. She doesn't have her bow in the ''Black'' trailer, so viewers know she's a faunus passing as a human from the get go.
* LittleBitBeastly: Faunus evolved from a common ancestor of humans and are still closely related enough to interbreed. Most faunus are mammalian faunus. Faunus have quirks that differentiate them from humans, such as improved senses and estrus cycles. The concept of "faunus" is a relatively recent creation as historically it was deemed a slur. Faunus traditionally saw each other as different species so they rejected the term.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Subverted with Roman. He doesn't want to kill a fifteen year old like Ruby, but he will if he thinks he must.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Weiss' initial FantasticRacism is turned up to the point where she says faunus are naturally subservient to humans. She also states that it's childish to think that faunus on the same level as humans. It's so offensive a rant that all her teammates get mad at her.

* AdaptationalWimp: Ruby's abilities are toned down at the start for [[RealityEnsues realism]]. This is done in order to make Grimm more intimidating and show that Ruby is still just at a beginner's level.

** Ciel debuts, and Scarlet and Sage are properly introduced, in Volume 2 instead of Volume 3.

* AgeLift: Cinder is more obviously older than most other characters. Instead of being disguised as a student, she's disguised as a teacher.

** "Jockey" is a a term used against Faunus sympathizers.

** The speciesism between faunus and humans originates both from jealousy of each others traits and because they were rivals during early history. Speciesism against faunus also differs from region to region and sub-species to sub-species.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Volumes 1 and 2 are pretty tame. ''Fixing RWBY'' adds more drama and darker themes to them.

''Fixing RWBY'' is a video series by Youtuber Celtic Phoenix Productions. In it, he discusses his ideas on how he would write the web cartoon series ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' if he could.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: One change is that Yang's Hard Drinking Party Girl image isn't [[ObfuscatingStupidity completely for show]].
