| 15 | * CastFullOfGay: Most named characters are gay or bi. |
| 16 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Each of the main characters is associated with one color in particular, which features prominently in their wardrobe and is the color of their name in dialogue. There is some overlap, however. |

| 18 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Many of the main characters have had great tragedy in their pasts that still influence them in the present. |

| 24 | ** [[spoiler:Jaune and Pyrrha will get together if neither are romanced. If Pyrrha is romanced, Jaune will have some ShipTease with Agravaine instead, though the epilogue doesn't indicate whether it goes anywhere in the long run. If Jaune is romanced, Pyrrha and Yang will get together.]] |
| 25 | ** [[spoiler:Ren and Nora always stay together, even if they are romanced, but they can also get together with Penny if she is not romanced either.]] |

| 27 | * PlotArmor: Most of the main characters, while they can be caused to leave the Court, are unable to die regardless of your choices, though this can be averted for [[spoiler:Jaune and Penny]]. |

| 39 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair has gone from its original black with red highlights to a flat-out red. |
| 40 | * AffectionateNickname: Yang calls her 'little rose' and Nora calls her 'Red Queen.' [[spoiler:Crescent Rose also calls her 'little rose,' [[InsultOfEndearment which is initially patronizing, but becomes increasingly affectionate]].]] |

| 47 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: She is initially unwilling to leave the Xiao Long tribe and return to Beacon to become queen, but she changes her mind after Grimm attack the Xiao Long camp. |
| 48 | * TheChainsOfCommanding: Ruby is under a lot of pressure from multiple sources over the course of the game, and she definitely feels it. |
| 49 | -->'''Ruby (narration):''' What I can feel is the way the crowd's energy changes when Ozpin puts [the crown] on me. Their expectation is heavy, almost crushing. |
| 50 | * AChildShallLeadThem: Ruby is only seventeen at the start of the game, but is crowned queen because she's the only one left who can safely take the throne. |
| 51 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Her romance with Yang is this, since they grew up together starting when Ruby was around ten, although the NotBloodSiblings part makes it slightly more complicated. |
| 52 | * 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. |
| 53 | * CombatTentacles: She can create and control stone and steel rose vines using the power of Crescent Rose. |
| 54 | * CommonalityConnection: When Ruby meets Nora and Ren, she immediately feels like she knows them, and like they belong together in one way or another, which turns out to be because all three of them are bound to spirits. |
| 55 | * CompanionCube: She is very attached to [[NamedWeapons Little Thorn]]. She sometimes talks to it, and even refers to it as her child on occasion. |
| 56 | -->'''Ruby:''' Little Thorn is a beauty and a treasure! Don't you dare talk about my child that way! |
| 57 | * CoolCrown: The design of her crown is a band of silver roses, with thorns and all. |
| 58 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Crescent Rose takes control of her body during the climax of Act II.]] |
| 59 | * DoNotCallMePaul: She insists on being called 'Ruby' instead of her full name. |
| 60 | * DoomedHometown: She has two, technically, though neither are destroyed completely; Beacon is attacked by Grimm in the prologue, but Q'row manages to get Ruby out in time, and the Xiao Long camp is attacked by Grimm in Act I, causing Ruby to agree to return to Beacon and retake her rightful throne. |
| 61 | * DreamSpying: Her nightmares turn out to be of Grimm attacks that are actually happening somewhere in the plane. |
| 62 | * DreamWalker: [[spoiler:During the dance in Act IV, an Alpha Grimm traps everyone present in their own worst memories. Once Crescent Rose shakes Ruby out of it, she then has to enter the dreams of her love interest and Glynda to shake them out of it in turn.]] |
| 63 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: She doesn't like her full first name, [[spoiler:Rubilacxe]], because nobody ever spells it correctly. |
| 64 | * HotForTeacher: [[spoiler:In the secret Glynda route, Ruby can potentially try to act on her crush, though Glynda finds it funnier than anything and rebuffs her.]] |
| 65 | * ICantDance: Throughout Act III, she is very apprehensive about the upcoming ball because she doesn't know how to dance. |
| 66 | * InTheHood: She hides her identity as queen by wearing a hood during Blake's [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]]. |
| 67 | * TheInsomniac: She misses a lot of sleep due to her constant night terrors. |

| 69 | * KingIncognito: She pulls this while hiding with the Xiao Longs. |
| 70 | * LadyAndKnight: She has this dynamic with both Weiss and Jaune, especially if she romances them. |
| 71 | * LastOfHisKind: She is the last living true-blooded Rose. |
| 72 | * LiterallyFallingInLove: [[spoiler:If Blake is chosen as Ruby's dance partner, Ruby misjudges the force of her semblance while practicing, and knocks Blake over onto her bed.]] |
| 73 | * LostOrphanedRoyalty: Her parents were murdered, and she was hidden away in the desert with the Xiao Long tribe for seven years before Glynda found her and brought her back to Beacon. |
| 74 | * LoveAtFirstSight: [[spoiler:If Blake is romanced, Ruby will admit that she's loved her since she first saw her her.]] |
| 75 | * MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Her full name is Rubilacxe, which is Excalibur spelled backwards.]] |
| 76 | * NamedWeapons: Her glaive is named Little Thorn. |
| 77 | * NotQuiteFlight: Her ability to control wind lets her boost herself into the air, though she can't control it for very long. |
| 78 | * ObliviousToLove: Many of the rejection scenes involve her not having realized how the other person felt. |
| 79 | * PetalPower: Her semblance is generally accompanied by scattered rose petals. She later gains the ability to use them as offensive weapons. |
| 80 | * ThePowerOfBlood: Her Rose blood is used to open the portals, and is what lets her safely use Crescent Rose's power. |
| 81 | -->'''Ruby:''' Why does everything involve my blood??? |
| 82 | * PuppetKing: Averted, though Blake initially assumes she is this. |
| 83 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Inverted; She has the colour scheme, but she's a heroic figure. |
| 84 | * RightfulKingReturns: She returns to Beacon at the beginning of Act II and is crowned queen. Unlike the typical example of this trope, however, [[TheUsurper Ozpin]] is only too happy to step aside for her, since he hadn't wanted that position to begin with, and using Crescent Rose without having Rose blood was actively harmful to him. |
| 85 | * RingOnANecklace: In the Weiss route, she wears the ring Weiss gives her this way rather than on her finger so it won't get in the way when she fights. |
| 86 | * {{Robosexual}}: She can romance Penny, who is a robot. |
| 87 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She deliberately invokes this as Queen, not wanting to just be a figurehead. |
| 88 | -->'''Ruby:''' I'm not going to be the kind of leader who sits back and lets everyone else put themselves in danger. |
| 89 | * ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler:If she sides with Blake against Torchwick during Blake's [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]].]] |
| 90 | * SinsOfOurFathers: Downplayed, especially if she consistently shows that she is trying to fix things for the faunus, but Velvet and Adam definitely hold her responsible for what her family has done in the past, and make sure she knows that they're watching her going forward. |
| 91 | -->'''Ruby:''' I didn't do anything. Well, I mean, ''I'' didn't, but my family did. So in a way, maybe that means I did it. Or I'm not doing enough to ''undo'' it. |
| 92 | * StrangerInAFamiliarLand: She feels this way when returning to the Xiao Longs as Queen. |
| 93 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Instead of being her father and half-sister, Taiyang is her foster father and Yang is her foster sister, respectively. |

| 101 | [[caption-width-right:350: [[labelnote:click to see Yang when fired up]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yang1.png [[/labelnote]]]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | The daughter of the leader of the Xiao Long tribe, Ruby's foster sister, and leader of the Queen's Guard. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | * AmazonianBeauty: She is very muscular, something that she deliberately accentuates. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: She loves puns and is one of the more comedic characters. [[ElementalPunch She also punches Grimm to death.]] [[PlayingWithFire With fire.]] |
| 108 | * TheBigGuy: She's noticeably bigger and stockier than many of the other characters, and fights with her fists. |
| 109 | * BigOlEyebrows: Her eyebrows are noticeably thick. |
| 110 | * BloodKnight: She really seems to enjoy fighting. |
| 111 | * BoisterousBruiser |
| 112 | * BurningWithAnger: When she gets fired up. |
| 113 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Her romance with Ruby is this, though it's complicated by them being NotBloodSiblings. |
| 114 | * 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. |
| 115 | * CustomUniformOfSexy: Her preferred type of outfit. |
| 116 | -->'''Yang:''' Anything that covers my midriff is a crime against nature itself, Ruby. |
| 117 | * DragonRider: She has two dragons, named Ember and Celica after her gauntlet weapons from the show. |
| 118 | * ElementalPunch: She enhances her punches with fire. |
| 119 | * TheGadfly: She enjoys trying to get a rise out of people. |
| 120 | * HotBlooded: Appropriately enough given her [[PlayingWithFire semblance]]. |
| 121 | * TheLadette: She's brash and loud and flirty. |
| 122 | * LargeHam |
| 123 | * MyOwnPrivateIDo: [[spoiler:If Yang is romanced, the epilogue states that she and Ruby had two wedding ceremonies: one official royal wedding, and one in the desert overseen by Taiyang.]] |
| 124 | * NotBloodSiblings: Yang is one of Ruby's potential love interests. Unlike in the source material, though, they aren't blood related at all. Players can subvert what usually comes from this trope, however, by having Ruby say that 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. |
| 125 | * PlayingWithFire: Her semblance allows her to create and control fire. |
| 126 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Her eyes are purple, and she's also a very dangerous combatant. |
| 127 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When she gets fired up, her eyes turn red. |
| 128 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a scarf, and is a powerful fighter. |
| 129 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Her top doesn't cover her arms, showing off her muscles. |
| 130 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Twofold: |
| 131 | ** Yang is Ruby's foster sister instead of her half sister this time around. |
| 132 | ** Qrow is just an old friend of her fathers that she only met once instead Yang's uncle (though he is still an HonoraryUncle to Ruby). |
| 133 | * WreathedInFlames: When she gets really fired up in battle. |
| 134 | -->'''Ruby (narration):''' Finding Yang is easy enough, the only pillar of flame in the darkness. |

| 156 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Velvet and Adam. |

| 180 | * BrutalHonesty: Like many people from Michglas, she prefers this over deceptive politeness. |
| 181 | * TheChampion: To Ruby, especially after her [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]]. |
| 182 | * ConsummateProfessional: She tries her best to maintain this after joining the Court, and is often caught off guard by how informal people in Vale are compared to Michglas. |

| 184 | * DeclarationOfProtection: She swears an oath to be Ruby's knight alone during her [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]]. |

| 189 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: She has a scar over her left eye that she got during her trial by combat against the Knight. |
| 190 | * IKissYourHand: She does this to Ruby on a number of occasions during her romance, which is appropriate given her role as a KnightInShiningArmor. |
| 191 | * InnocentBigot: Unlike the full-blown FantasticRacism she exhibited in the original show, here her initial take on Blake is colored by her unfamiliarity with faunus. She gets past it fairly quickly, however, and they become good friends. |
| 192 | * InstantRunes: Her magic uses these. |
| 193 | * InsultOfEndearment: She calls Yang 'sand gnat,' with gradually increasing fondness. [[spoiler:It's taken to its natural conclusion if they end up in a relationship, with Weiss calling Yang 'sand gnat' just before their big dance.]] |
| 194 | * KnightInShiningArmor: As a knight of Michglas, she fills this role. |
| 195 | * LadyAndKnight: She has this dynamic with Ruby, especially if romanced. |
| 196 | * MagicKnight: Like all knights of Michglas, she is this. |

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 does actually love Ruby.]] |
| 199 | * TheMenFirst: In her recruitment scene, she's shown taking the fall for one of her knights who has been sentenced to death.

| 203 | * ShipTease: Weiss is very protective of Lancelynn, going so far as to insist on taking their punishment upon herself, and Yang speculates that she may have a crush on them because she seemed to be deliberately sabotaging Yang's attempts to get to know them. However, despite being MultipleEndings depending on who Ruby romances, Weiss never ends up with Lancelynn in any of them. Instead, she ends up with Ruby, Blake, Yang, or both Blake and Yang. |
| 204 | * TongueTied: [[spoiler:Myrtenaster forcibly keeps Weiss from saying anything about her.]] |
| 205 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Pyrrha teases her by saying she can't solve every problem with Dust. |

| 216 | * BridalCarry: She carries Ruby out of Spiritus Bellatorum this way. |
| 217 | * {{Claustrophobia}}: Being forced to live in underground tunnels for an extended period of time caused her to develop a fear of being trapped in enclosed, underground spaces. Because of this, she takes to sleeping on top of the tallest tower of the castle so that she can see the sky at night, and [[spoiler:becomes very agitated during her [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]] when she and Ruby become trapped in the underground laboratory]]. |
| 218 | * ConflictingLoyalty: The crux of her [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]] is that she is torn between her loyalty to Ruby and the Summer Rose Court, and the priesthood of Auctoritas. [[spoiler:She is so torn, in fact, that she is ultimately unable to make the decision herself, and Ruby has to decide for her whether she'll stay with the Court or return to being a priestess.]] |
| 219 | * GiveMeASword: [[spoiler:When the Alpha Grimm attacks in Spiritus Bellatorum, Pyrrha's unenchanted spear can't pierce its hide. She asks Ruby to give her a weapon, and she can be given Ruby's own glaive, or Penny's sword if Penny has been recruited. If Ruby refuses, Pyrrha will not join the Court later on.]] |
| 220 | * HoldingHands: When Pyrrha and Ruby [[spoiler:get trapped in the underground laboratory and have to go through the tunnels to escape]], Pyrrha holds Ruby's hand as an anchor to help with her own claustrophobia. |
| 221 | * MagicallyIneptFighter: She is from Spiritus Bellatorum, and therefore not only can she not use magic, but her very proximity to someone can dampen their magic to an extent. This changes after she unlocks her semblance, however. |
| 222 | * MagnetismManipulation: Her semblance, once unlocked, allows her to control polarity. |
| 223 | * TheMagnificent: "Nikos" roughly translates to "the Victorious." |
| 224 | * MeaningfulName: Her last name, Nikos, is actually a title given to those who frequently triumph in battle. Following the civil war and the Chimera attacks, she's the only person with that title who's still alive. |
| 225 | * OneHeadTaller: With Ruby, if romanced. |
| 226 | * PowerNullifier: Since she is from Spiritus Bellatorum, which has no magic, just being near her can dampen others' magic or semblances. |
| 227 | * ReligiousBruiser: She was once a lay sister of Auctoritas, and still keeps her faith even though she left the temple to become a soldier. |
| 228 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She has green eyes and red hair and becomes part of Ruby's Court, as well as being a potential love interest. |
| 229 | * StatuesqueStunner: She is the tallest female character in the game, at around the same height as Jaune. |

| 323 | * BadassAdorable |
| 324 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She is very protective of Ruby [[spoiler:because she freed her from her imprisonment below the castle. The epilogue indicates that this extended past Ruby's own death:]] |

| 360 | * BadassCape: She wears a purple-lined black cape. |
| 361 | * BadassTeacher: She teaches Ruby, and later also Jaune and Pyrrha, how to control their semblances, and is a very powerful magic-user. |
| 362 | * BarrierWarrior: Creating magical barriers is among her abilities. |
| 363 | * CombatMedic: She primarily uses offensive magic, but can also heal. |
| 364 | * CourtMage: She fills this role, but "only by the barest of technicalities." The previous court mage, who died during the same attack that killed Ruby's parents, was her mentor, so she does his job out of respect for him, and because of her friendship with Ozpin. |
| 365 | * GentleTouchVsFirmHand: The firm hand to Ozpin's gentle touch. |
| 366 | * HealingHands: She can use healing magic. |
| 367 | * HiddenDepths: Ruby is surprised to discover during preparations for the dance that Glynda both knows and cares about royal fashion. |

| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Since Salem was AdaptedOut, Ozpin never assisted in her quest to conquer the world and he never lied to everyone about her immortality thus setting them on a quest he knew would never be finished without their knowledge. Here, Ozpin continually put his life in danger for seven years by sitting on the throne so he could predict where the Grimm were going to attack. |
| 386 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: In relation to his AdaptationalHeroism, Ozpin's FatalFlaw from canon (that being his need to tell lies and half truths and his habit of keeping even his closest allies on a need to know basis) is completely absent in this Ozpin.

| 387 | * AdaptationalSexuality: He's mentioned to be lovers with Qrow. |
| 388 | * AgeLift: Played straight and subverted. In canon, Ozpin is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, but reincarnates, so while his mind is thousands of years, his body is only as old as it looks. In ''Summer Rose Court'', he's not immortal, but his body is noticeably older than it is in canon. |
| 389 | * BadassTeacher: He, along with Glynda, helps to teach Ruby about being queen and controlling Crescent Rose. |

| 581 | ---- |

| 583 | * EyepatchOfPower: He has an eyepatch over one eye, probably the result of an explosive mishap. |
| 584 | * {{Fingore}}: He's missing a few fingers, presumably the result of explosives backfiring. |
| 585 | * ShipTease: He has some with Jaune, especially if Ruby and Pyrrha get together. |
| 586 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: He specializes in explosives, and is very enthusiastic about experimenting with them, though not quite to the degree of a MadBomber. |
| 587 | -->'''Weiss:''' Hmmph. Looks like Agravaine will have an excuse to test out some of his bombs.\ |

| 646 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: The spirits that are bound to the portals. |
| 647 | -->'''Lin:''' They aren't held to the same notions of morality that you or I subscribe to. |
| 648 | * CoolGate: The portals are this. |
| 649 | * DeepSleep: They have been sleeping for a long time. |
| 650 | * MythologyGag: Many of them are named after the weapons of characters from the original show. |
| 651 | ** Crescent Rose is the name of Ruby's scythe/sniper rifle. |
| 652 | ** Myrtenaster is the name of Weiss' rapier. |
| 653 | ** Magnhild is the name of Nora's hammer/grenade launcher. |

| 659 | !!Crescent Rose |
| 660 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crescent_rose1.png]] |
| 661 | |
| 662 | The spirit bound to the Rose bloodline in Vale. Currently bound to Ruby Rose. |
| 663 | ---- |
| 664 | * BigGood: Although her actions aren't always so good, she ultimately does want to protect the planes, and serves as the closest direct counterpoint to BigBad [[spoiler:Luna Fracta]]. |
| 665 | * DefrostingTheIceQueen: Over time she stops trying to force Ruby to do what she wants and becomes more patient and affectionate toward her. She also becomes more respectful of Ruby's friendships with the others. |
| 666 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:She possesses Ruby during the climax of Act II, and inhabits Penny's body during Penny's [[RelationshipValues Loyalty Mission]].]] |
| 667 | * DisproportionateRetribution: When Cresent wakes up she tries to kill Ozpin for being a "usurper." Ozpin never wanted the throne, he only attuned to Cresent to see Grimm attacks before they happened to save people, and swears that he wouldn't have forced a connection if he knew she was alive. Cresent dismisses these things when Ozpin brings them up, believing him to be a liar. |
| 668 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Crescent doesn't like or trust most of Ruby's friends ([[DefrostingTheIceQueen at least at first]]), especially [[spoiler:Penny]] and Ozpin. |
| 669 | * GeniusLoci: Crescent Rose is bound to the Rose castle, and can control the structure itself to a degree. |
| 670 | * GoodIsNotNice: While Crescent Rose is trying protect the planes from the Grimm, her actions at times land her in KnightTemplar territory. She voices disdain for many of Ruby's friends, to the point of insulting whoever was with Ruby when [[spoiler:she takes over Ruby's body briefly at the end of Act II]]. She hates the "usurper" Ozpin and attacks him, despite Ozpin only using the throne in Ruby's absence to protect people. She even argues to destroy [[spoiler:Penny despite her father's plans to have her inhabit the throne not being her fault]]. Ruby can [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech call her out on this behavior in the climax of Act IV]]. Thankfully, [[DefrostingTheIceQueen Crescent does mellow out as the story progresses]]. |
| 671 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Crescent is an intresting case of this, as she starts the story as this. While she wants to save the planes, she is hateful and spiteful in how she acts and talks. She goes so far as to [[spoiler:[[DemonicPossession forceably take over Ruby's body]]]], and would have murdered Ozpin if Ruby and the court members hadn't stopped her. She then becomes an {{Inverted}} example, as at some point she realizes how awful she has been acting and promises to be better. |
| 672 | * HeelFaceTurn: While Crescent Rose was always on the side of good, for a large part of the story she is a {{Jerkass}} best and a full on KnightTemplar at worse. However, after [[spoiler:the defeat of Luna Fracta in Act IV, Crescent admits her previous hostility toward Ruby and her friends was cruel and wrong, and performs a HeroicSacrifice to help Ruby. Whether Ruby lets her fade into the ley lines or rebinds to her, Crescent promises to be better and thanks Ruby for reminding her what it means to look out for people]]. |
| 673 | * HeelRealization: At some point she realizes how much her actions have been hurting Ruby and her firends, to the point that she will only brefly deny Ruby's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her before accepting that Ruby is right if you choose to tell her off at the end, and she'll promise that she'll protect the planes the right way from now on. |
| 674 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:During the climax of Act IV, Crescent Rose will allow herself to be shattered in order for Ruby to escape Luna Fracta's plane, and then will return to the portals as pure energy, unless Ruby stops her and binds Crescent Rose directly to herself.]] |
| 675 | * KickTheDog: Whichever court member the player picked to have visit Ruby the night of the Grimm raid, Crescent will have a personalized TheReasonYouSuckSpeech waiting for them. Blake's is especially horrible, with Crescent at first accusing her of plotting to kill Ruby, and then mocking her and [[{{Jerkass}} asking if she enjoys being Ruby's pet, a clear jab at her being a faunus]]. |
| 676 | * MoralityChain: Ruby serves as this for her, as did the Rose rulers who came before Ruby. |
| 677 | * NeverMyFault: Crescent blames the court members when asked why she attacked them. This is despite the fact that they only acted to protect Ruby and Ozpin and she attacked first. When Ruby challenges her on this, she deflects and calls Ruby ungrateful. |
| 678 | * PsychicLink: She has one with Ruby [[spoiler:and Penny]]. |
| 679 | * RipVanWinkle: When she awakens, she discovers a vastly different Vale, with Ruby as the only remaining Rose she can connect to. |
| 680 | * SealedGoodInACan: She had been sleeping for generations, and only wakes up for Ruby [[spoiler:during the climax of Act II]]. |
| 681 | * ShipperOnDeck: Of Ruby's potential love interests, Crescent Rose is the most outright approving of Jaune, due to his family's traditional alliance with the Rose family. |
| 682 | * TentacleRope: Her main offensive power that isn't channeled through Ruby is controlling steel and stone rose vines, [[spoiler:which she uses to bind in place whoever is with Ruby after [[DemonicPossession taking control of her]] during the climax of Act II]]. |
| 683 | * TrackingSpell: Ruby can use Crescent Rose's power to tap into the ley lines that cross the plane to help her "feel" where people are. |
| 684 | * WeHaveReserves: She claims that she has many other options besides Ruby and that Ruby is unimportant and replaceable. Given later comments which indicate that she cares for Ruby and wants to protect her, she likly only claimed this to [[KickTheDog hurt Ruby and make her compliant, regardless of how true or unture this may be]]. |
| 685 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Crescent Rose's hatred of [[spoiler:Penny]] and her suspicion that Ruby's friends are plotting against her (which they weren't) is partially born out of wanting to protect Ruby because she genuinely cares for Ruby. And she also genuinely wants to protect the planes. |

| 733 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:She is the one controlling the Grimm, and she serves as the FinalBoss.]] |
