But as a boy with no huntsmen training, no huntsmen knowledge, and no huntsmen transcripts, he had absolutely no chance of getting into a school like that legally. After scouring the darkest corners of the [=CCTNet=], he finally found a lead. A place called Grimm Academy."''

11	----
12	!! This FanFic provides examples of the following tropes, which may include unmarked spoilers:
13	* ARareSentence: After Cinder declares "There is to be no public fornication at the dance." Neo is both incredulous that such a sentence was said and even more so that Cinder needed to say it.
14	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Sun to Blake. She's a NightmareFetishist, he's ThePollyanna.
15	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:In canon, Salem had some redeeming qualities that prevent her from being too evil. Here, she kidnapped many children and turned them into Grimm hybrids, corrupting them as her minions. She also keeps Summer Rose alive as captive and tortures her with her grimmified daughter Ruby.]]
16	* AcademyOfEvil: Grimm Academy teaches Grimm hybrid students to infiltrate human society to bring it down for Salem.
17	* [[invoked]]AccidentalInnuendo: After Weiss realizes Winter is her sister, the two of them go out to lunch together and Weiss suggests they bone, to Winter's horror and mortification. What Weiss meant was sharing the bone marrow in their steaks and she's equally disgusted and mortified when she realizes what Winter thought she meant.
18	* AffectionateNickname: Jaune dubs Weiss 'Snow Angel' when flirting with her for Cinder's class, and later gives Ruby the nickname 'Cookie Monster' after she enjoys the cookies he gave her.
19	* AggressiveSubmissive: Weiss is very dominant towards Jaune until he shows a hint of assertiveness, causing her to instantly submit. Jaune quickly realizes that she has a kink for it.
20	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Ruby is shunned by everyone except Jaune and Yang because of her abnormally positive nature compared to the other hybrids.
21	* AlternateUniverseFic: For years before the series' start, Salem has been covertly having her Grimm abduct children and teenagers from across Remnant -- including the would-be future members of Teams RWBY, CRDL, BRNZ, and May Marigold -- and transforming them into her Grimm hybrid tyke-bombs. Fast-forward to the present; when Jaune applies to become a huntsman, instead of getting accepted into Beacon, he gets drawn into Salem's AcademyOfEvil for the hybrids.
22	* AndIMustScream: Several times, the Grimm Hybrids show emotions they can't explain, such as Ruby crying when [[spoiler:Summer talks to her]] and Blake screaming that she [[spoiler:didn't want to kill Adam when testing her aura]]. Jaune quickly realizes that their human selves are still present inside their minds but they're locked away from the hybridization process.
23	* AnArmAndALeg: Grimmified Ruby has an Apathy Grimm's right arm similar to canon Cinder's arm, and Grimmified Yang has a gigantic right Grimm arm that was originally fashioned out of two Beringels. Both are transplants which were fashioned onto the sisters after they were hybridized, implicitly because their original right arms weren't among the bits of them that survived being turned in the Grimm-birthing pools.
24	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After [[spoiler:Weiss gets her Aura unlocked, she goes on a small rampage against two students that she tries to claim don't matter because they're humans. In response, Jaune reveals to her that he's a human and asks her a very hard hitting question]]:
25	--> '''Jaune''': [[spoiler:If my life matters, then theirs do too. But if their lives don't matter to you, then mine doesn't either. Which is it, Weiss?]]
26	* ArtificialHybrid: The Grimm hybrids were all once humans or Faunus -- Salem turned them into albino, humanoid monsters similar to herself by subjecting them to a process which involved submerging them in the black Pools of Annihilation: the same pools which originally turned Salem into her current form when she attempted suicide in them.
27	* AssholeVictim: Grimm!CRDL, especially Cardin. The team were bullies in canon, but now that they're Grimm hybrids instead of humans, it's even worse, as they're [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] [[TheBrute Brutes]] with no true morals. After they all die off in the first semester, it's discussed, as Ruby says that no one will care that she murdered Cardin (She's a Grimm hybrid- it would be weird if she ''didn't'' gruesomely murder another student from time to time), and Professor Rainart notes that CRDL (and several OCs) were pretty much destined to die because they just fought because of their Grimm instincts, rather than having something to truly fight ''for'' like Jaune and Team RWBY.
28	* AttackAttackAttack: This is Wesson's strategy when fighting Jaune. It gets him in trouble because it means he's going for a strong point (Crocea Mors' shield) instead of exploiting his weaknesses, and means that he just fruitlessly wastes most of his energy beating against it, even though he could have won fairly easily if he'd used any tactical sense.
29	* BadassCreed: Winter gives one about how a Schnee has to be perfect when [[spoiler:unlocking Weiss' Aura]].
30	-->'''Winter:''' To be perfect is to achieve immortality. Perfection is a burden to be sought out, to be fought for and cherished, for others and never for ourselves. Through the weight of legacy, we must strive forever more to be perfect, and with our legacy achieve for the good of all. This is what it means to be a Schnee.
31	* BadassNormal: Sorta. Weiss is the only Grimm hybrid to not have her Aura unlocked. [[spoiler:Winter unlocks it for her later.]]
32	* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Part of the hybrids' BlueAndOrangeMorality: they revel in negative feelings while positive thoughts are repulsive, which is why the positive-thinking Ruby was ostracized by the other hybrids.
33	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ruby befriends Jaune because he doesn't care about her positive attitude (because he's human and not attracted to negative emotions like Grimm, though she doesn't know that).
34	* BelligerentSexualTension: Weiss with Jaune, although it's mostly one-sided. She also thinks that [[spoiler:Mercury and Emerald]]'s arguing is this, much to their horror.
35	* BerserkButton: Don't insult Salem or the hybrids where Tyrian can hear you.
36	* BigSisterInstinct:
37	** Yang still has this towards Ruby. Even before she regains most of the human emotions that her hybridization initially locked away, she tolerated Ruby more than the other hybrids, hung out with her at times, and she gets pissed off on Ruby's behalf when she thinks Jaune isn't responding to Ruby's advances. [[spoiler:After regaining her human emotions, Yang is forced to admit that she truly loves her sister like a human would]].
38	** When Winter receives word and proof from Qrow that her little sister, who's been presumed dead for years, is living under a false identity in Vale, she grabs the first excuse she can to head to Vale and reunite with her. [[spoiler:She also gives Jaune the [[Film/{{Taken}} "very specific set of skills" speech]] when she believes that Weiss's relationship with him and Ruby will break Weiss's heart. After Winter becomes fully aware of what's really going on with Team [=AWRY's=] true nature and Salem's plan, she puts protecting Weiss ahead of her career, her loyalty to Ironwood, and quite possibly her entire future]].
39	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: All of the hybrids. Ruby's catching on, though. Blake is even worse than most, being something of a {{Yandere}} version of the hybrids' usual morality on account of her instability.
40	* CerebusSyndrome: While the story was never completely lighthearted, there was still plenty of BlackComedy to go around among the genuinely funny and heartwarming moments. Once the set shifts to Beacon Academy, however, almost all of these funny moments disappear completely and the story becomes a straight drama.
41	* CombatPragmatist: May, the girlfriend of one of Yang's victims, tries to get her revenge by sniping the other hybrid, unlike most who fight at close range.
42	* ComfortingTheWidow: This was probably not Raven's intention when she visited Taiyang shortly after Summer, Ruby and Yang's alleged deaths, but it's what happened, [[spoiler:and not long afterwards the two were back together again]].
43	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: While infiltrating Beacon, Jaune watches Yang toy with a Boarbatusk and is first surprised to realize everyone else is horrified by her brutality then surprised to realize he should be as well but isn't.
44	* CovertPervert: During the Beacon infiltration, Velvet is responsible for introducing Weiss to internet porn after she overheard Weiss publicly inquiring about it, and she isn't exactly ''dis''interested when Weiss suggests Velvet can form and "dominate" a "[[{{Polyamory}} pack]]" of her own.
45	* CuteMonsterGirl: Grimmified!Team RWBY are noted by Jaune's perspective as being extremely attractive, much to his confusion and fear.
46	* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Blake keeps Adam's head in a jar on her desk.
47	* DeathByAdaptation: Team CRDL and Team BRNZ, or at least their Grimm Hybrid forms, are killed during their time at Grimm Academy. Adam Taurus is also killed before the beginning of the story. [[spoiler:Tyrian is killed before the Vytal Festival or the Breach have occurred, in Chapter 35]].
48	* DefusingTheTykeBomb: Jaune's reason for staying at Grimm Academy. [[spoiler:Ruby eventually joins him.]]
49	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: At one point, Jaune and Team RWBY have a movie night and watch ''Film/{{Alien}}'' and then ''Film/{{Species}}''. Much to Jaune's bemusement, the girls see the creatures as the protagonists and become upset that the humans killed them, seeing it as an example of how cruel and unjust humans are.
50	* DeliveryStork: Weiss thinks that this is how human babies are born. Of course, she thinks that the bird is a snipe.
51	* DieOrFly: Jaune is left in the middle of the Grimmlands to either make it back to the academy or die fighting the Grimm. Thanks to him unlocking his Aura on the way, he manages to make it back alive.
52	* DramaticIrony: After seeing Ruby and Yang for the first time, [[spoiler:Qrow thinks that there's no way that Raven would lie about Yang's death to his face. As the audience already knows, however, not only is that exactly what she did, but she actually had a fair reason to]].
53	* TheDreaded: Several, due to [[AcademyOfEvil the nature]] of [[AllGhoulsSchool Grimm Academy]].
54	** Salem, the HumanoidAbomination of a headmistress.
55	** Tyrian Callows, the bloodthirsty combat professor.
56	** Blake, who's even ''more'' insane than most Grimm hybrids.
57	** Yang, one of the most powerful students.
58	** Jaune eventually becomes this. Mostly, it's a case of MistakenForBadass as the hybrids don't quite understand that he's using ThePowerOfFriendship rather than brute strength, but he genuinely does have the alliance of several powerful students and is difficult to fight thanks to his Aura and huntsman weapon.
59	* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Apparently, Adam fought his way through Grimmlands to rescue Blake, but failed and she killed him. Blake still remembers him fondly because of this.
60	* EpicFail: Sun tries to become a goth to impress Blake, even dyeing his hair and tail black. It just annoys her even more.
61	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
62	** Cardin feels some measure of respect towards Jaune after he killed the abomination made from Sky and Dove's corpses.
63	** Blake still remembers Adam fondly due to his attempt to save her life [[spoiler:and she reveals when she uses her Aura that she didn't want to kill him in the first place]].
64	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The hybrids in general have this problem (although it's certainly possible to teach them). Part of the reason Jaune becomes TheDreaded is because students think that he has defeated Team RWBY and is forcing them to guard him. Nope, he's actually just friends with them, and they're helping him out of their own free will.
65	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Summer Rose's eyes were removed and she wears a blindfold at all times.]]
66	* ForWantOfANail: Ruby and Yang were captured in this story because when Yang took Ruby on her escapade to find her mother, Qrow didn't save her in time.
67	* GodzillaThreshold: Qrow [[spoiler:threatening to tell Taiyang that Yang and Ruby are still alive (which would almost certainly break up his new family with Raven) makes her so desperate that she willingly reveals herself as the Spring Maiden to threaten him into submission]].
68	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Awakening a Grimm hybrid's Aura forces them to confront everything they've done, causing many to temporarily go insane.
69	* GreenEyedMonster: Ruby at Jaune's relationship with Weiss, much to her confusion.
70	* GroinAttack: Yang apparently did this to Cardin after he started harassing her. After seeing the results himself, Jaune takes a moment to wonder how he can still pee.
71	* HeadDesk: Jaune repeatedly knocks his head against the desk he's sitting at once he realizes that a misunderstanding related to Lie Ren's name being pronounced the same way as Weiss's undercover alias (Wren) has led Nora to believe that he's been bedding Ren.
72	* HiddenAgendaVillain: Salem created Grimm Academy and lets Jaune stay, but her motivation for doing so remains unclear.
73	* HornAttack: Horn fencing consists of two opponents clashing their horns against each other over and over until one submits. Since none of the hybrids seem to have reinforced skulls, it causes a lot of pain and dizziness.
74	* HumanoidAbomination: Everyone except Jaune and the teachers ([[spoiler:and Mercury and Emerald]]), but Blake especially, due to how her Grimmification went wrong.
75	* HybridsAreACrapshoot: Not only does the process by which Salem turns her abducted students into hybrids in the Pools of Annihilation ''kill'' some of the children outright, but it's almost unheard of for those who survive to have all their original body parts still intact when they come out the other end, leading Salem to "gift" them with transplants fashioned from Creatures of Grimm or technology (similar to Cinder's [[GoodProstheticEvilProsthetic Grimm arm]] in canon). For examples, Ruby has a right arm transplanted from an Apathy, Yang has a right arm fashioned from two Beringels in addition to the permanent small holes marring the sides of her face, May has only one eye, Wesson has a Death Stalker transplanted to replace the back of his body, etc. Weiss and Cardin (before the latter got mutilated and stitched back together) are the only two hybrids who survived Grimmification with their entire bodies intact.
76	* IJustWantToBeLoved: Blake, for all her terrifying nature, ultimately wants someone to truly and freely love her.
77	* InSpiteOfANail:
78	** Although it happens many years earlier in the timeline, Yang still essentially gets her right arm lost and replaced.
79	** Although Jaune never started the school year as a Beacon student, Pyrrha (and presumably Ren and Nora) still end up on a team named JNPR without him. Word of God in the author's notes says that the "J" in their team is Jacqueline Ivory from ''VisualNovel/ProjectJPDE''.
80	** [[spoiler:Though it happens later in the timeline, and though it's inflicted by Winter's saber instead of the Arma Gigas' sword; Weiss still gets her signature scar over her left eye]].
81	* InstantlyProvenWrong: When Ruby remarks on Cinder is too old to pose as a student, Weiss remarks that Cinder looks like a natural in her uniform. Just as Jaune's glad that Weiss didn't put her foot in her mouth for once, she continues to say Cinder looks just like those "thirty somethings pretending to be schoolgirls" in all the porn she watches and goes on to comment how she thinks Cinder would prefer to be dominant during sex.
82	* InternalReveal:
83	** Each of the four RWBY girls learn the truth about Jaune being human one by one. Blake finds out first [[spoiler:because she could sense Jaune's humanity from the start and just kept it to herself]], then Ruby finds out second, Weiss third, and Yang last [[spoiler:when Jaune admits the truth to each of them one by one]].
84	** When Qrow decides to confront Jaune directly, he and Winter finally learn about [[spoiler:what happened to Yang, Ruby, and Weiss, Summer Rose's current status as a prisoner, and the existence of Grimm Academy]].
85	** [[spoiler:Qrow ends up explaining all of this to Raven in an attempt to get her to open a portal to Summer, at which point she threatens him with the Spring Maiden powers and outs herself in the process]].
86	* {{Irony}}:
87	** Blake is the most recently-turned of the hybrids, having apparently been captured during the events of the "Black" trailer (whereas Weiss, Ruby and Yang were all abducted and turned as children), yet she's even ''more'' warped and twisted in her body and mind than most of the "older" hybrids are.
88	** Yang in this continuity hates Raven even more passionately than in canon, because she blames Raven for her and Ruby getting captured by the Grimm and turned into hybrids when Yang was out trying to find her. Grimm Yang's altered circumstances also mean that if anything, she shares even ''more'' personality traits in common with her birth mother than her canon self did, as described under SharedFamilyQuirks.
89	** Raven generally doesn't like alcohol because of [[TheAlcoholic Qrow's habits]]. After the twins discover the truth about Ruby and Yang's fates, Qrow has been steadily losing his drinking habit while Raven has started drinking more.
90	* KillItThroughItsStomach: During his trek through the Grimmlands, Jaune gets SwallowedWhole by a King Taijitu, unlocks his Aura while inside the snake's stomach, and cuts his way out with Crocea Mors.
91	* KnightOfCerebus: Any time Salem appears or is mentioned, the story goes into its darkest and most serious moments with absolutely zero levity.
92	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Weiss, for all of her posturing, really knows next to nothing about human customs. Jaune even points it out in his narration, actually calling her a 'KnowNothingKnowItAll' several times.
93	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Salem's only reaction to Jaune impaling her through the chest is to snark that "better men than [him] have tried".
94	* {{Malaproper}}: Weiss frequently mixes up her words, such as using "droll" in place of "drool" and vice versa.
95	* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Jaune and Weiss's first time is in the school's kitchen.
96	* MetaphoricallyTrue: In the past, after Raven discovered what had happened to Yang, she chose to lie to Qrow and say that she and Ruby had died because, from her perspective and for all intents and purposes, she really ''was'' dead, and trying to claim otherwise would've only hurt everyone more and Tai was already on the brink of suicide at this point.
97	* MistakenForRacist: Some of Weiss's comments, especially towards Sun, come across as racist, such as asking if he has "hand-feet" like a monkey. Sun just laughs it off and says he doesn't but his mother does.
98	* MisterSeahorse: Weiss wants Jaune and Professor Port to have babies. However, she seems to think that babies are delivered [[DeliveryStork by snipe]]...
99	* MoralityPet: Zwei is a normal dog that Ruby rescued from Cardin and keeps in her room.
100	* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Ruby and [[spoiler:Penny]] bond over their overt convictions that they are normal human beings that most definitely are not hiding anything.
101	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. [[spoiler: Weiss' cover name of Wren (Slate) sounds like (Lie) Ren,]] which causes some confusion when discussing Jaune's "relationships."
102	* OnlySaneMan: Jaune is the only one who has any idea of how human beings conduct themselves in public. This proves to be a constant source of exasperation as he [[spoiler: must keep Ruby, Yang, and Weiss behaving at Beacon.]]
103	* {{Polyamory}}: Jaune ends up in a relationship with Weiss, Ruby, and sorta Blake.
104	* ThePowerOfLove vs ThePowerOfHate: A big conflict with Ruby. Salem's plan relies on the latter, but Jaune's attempts to return the hybrids to their human states revolves around the former. [[spoiler:Ruby herself comes to agree with the power of love as time goes on, openly questioning Salem's plan]].
105	** Human emotions such as love allow hybrids to more easily maintain their human disguise. After [[spoiler:making love for the first time]], Ruby maintains her human form all night, even while sleeping.
106	* PragmaticVillainy: Salem rescues Jaune from a horde of Grimm because he's useful to her plans.
107	* PregnancyScare: Weiss temporarily believes she's pregnant and starts constructing a nest until Jaune explains it's physically impossible to get pregnant from oral sex.
108	* RaisedByOrcs: Most of the hybrids were abducted and turned when they were young children, and some of them like Ruby and Weiss don't have any memory of their pre-Grimm Academy lives. Under Salem's and her minions' "care", they've been raised as little better than animals and savages: being fed raw carcasses, taught that positive emotions are bad and that it's their lifelong mission to bring humanity under Salem's heel, and being pitted against and expected to kill each-other until only the strongest of them are left standing. Jaune is determined to save Ruby, Yang, Weiss and Blake by getting them more in touch with their human sides again.
109	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Cardin contemplates raping Yang after he kills Jaune, which really emphasizes his status as TheBrute whose only purpose in life is to dominate others.
110	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Professor Hazel Rainart. He stresses the need for a reason to fight beyond instinct, and he even lets Jaune write a letter home to his family (providing it contains no hint to his current situation).
111	* SecretKeeper:
112	** Tyrian, Salem, and Hazel all know Jaune's human. It's ambiguous if Arthur or Cinder know.
113	** [[spoiler:Ruby finds out that Jaune's human. She keeps his secret. Jaune also tells Weiss that he's human after she gets her Aura unlocked.]]
114	** [[spoiler:After Winter sees Weiss's Grimm form and hears Salem's name, Qrow tells her about who Salem is]].
115	* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Blake knew about Jaune's humanity since the beginning, but didn't divulge her knowledge until later.]]
116	* SeriousBusiness: Horn fencing. Not showing proper respect to someone who beats you is a serious faux pas but so is trying to claim victory without declaring an official duel.
117	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Yang and [[MissingMom Raven]] have a lot of character traits in common, even more so than their canon selves due to the divergence in Yang's backstory and her subsequent harsh upbringing as a hybrid. Yang and Raven both value strength, and they're inclined to run away from their fears rather than face them, [[spoiler:as observed by Jaune in Chapter 39]].
118	* ShoutOut:
119	** To ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
120	-->'''Weiss:''' It's over Ruby. I have the high ground!\
121	'''Ruby:''' You underestimate my power!
122	** One of Professor Port's tales mentions how he had tied an onion to his belt. [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons It was the fashion at the time.]]
123	** Winter gives a modified version of the classic [[Film/{{Taken}} Bryan Mills]] warning speech to Jaune about breaking Weiss's heart (it includes everything but the final line).
124	* TheSocialDarwinist: The default state of Grimm hybrids is this. Bullying and showing dominance gets you mates. Showing weakness gets you killed. The CRDL hybrids exemplify this attitude, while the RWBY hybrids mostly grow out of it. Professor Rainart disparages this viewpoint in his classes for the hybrids, and tries to instill in them that just fighting without a cause to believe in will just get them killed.
125	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Summer Rose is still alive, though held prisoner by Salem]].
126	* SpiritualAntithesis: To Creator/CoeurAlAran[='s=] ''Fanfic/{{White Sheep\|RWBY}}'', which is also an AlternateUniverseFic where certain canon characters are rewritten as Grimm-human hybrids affiliated with Salem.
127	** In ''White Sheep'', Jaune Arc is the HalfHumanHybrid son of Salem who deceives his way into Beacon Academy masquerading as a human so he can live among the canon (and human) students. In ''My Abominable Monster Classmates Can't Be This Cute'', Jaune is the secretly-human outlier in an AcademyOfEvil populated by [[ArtificialHybrid "Grimmified"]] versions of the cast whom are being taught by Salem to perfectly disguise themselves and infiltrate the human world.
128	** Jaune in ''White Sheep'' was at Beacon because he rebelled against Salem's wishes, whereas in ''MAMCCBTC'', Salem wants Team AWRY to infiltrate Beacon in order to further her evil plan.
129	** Salem in ''White Sheep'' was a version who'd mellowed massively after falling for Jaune's father and was ready to retire from villainy -- it's the well-meaning actions of Ozpin, his inner circle and the kingdoms which share much of the blame with Salem's forces for the escalation of the conflict. Whereas Salem in ''MAMCCBTC'' is the primary antagonistic force, and she sets the story's benchmark for heinousness.
130	** Both stories follow Jaune trying to get Grimm and humanity to coexist instead of conflict after a fashion, but in strikingly different ways. Jaune in ''White Sheep'' ultimately focuses on literally getting the kingdoms in the bigger picture to accept and learn to coexist peacefully with the Creatures of Grimm. Jaune in ''MAMCCBTC'' focuses on getting his beloved pack of Grimm hybrids to find and embrace their human sides again and understand that not all humans are their enemy.
131	** ''White Sheep'' was mostly light-hearted, whereas ''MAMCCBTC'' is a lot darker than the title and all the hijinks would make you think.
132	* StealthHiBye: Blake's specialty, including hiding in places she shouldn't be able to fit such as within a couch.
133	* SupremeChef: Jaune, although given that the hybrids have no concept of cooking, it's really not that hard.
134	* TaughtByExperience: Jaune has no formal training at all but in a spar, he almost beats Pyrrha, only losing due to her using her Semblance to [[RingOut throw him out of bounds.]]
135	* TaughtByTelevision: Weiss gets most of her knowledge of human society from Tyrian's porn, with hilarious results.
136	* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Pyrrha versus Jaune respectively. She has years of training, a sophisticated weapon, and a specialized Semblance. Jaune has months of life or death combat, a simple sword and shield, and a Semblance that enhances his physical abilities. Jaune almost wins until Pyrrha uses her Semblance to throw him out of the ring.
137	* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: More like [[DownplayedTrope There Can Be Only Several]]. The hybrids are not only allowed but ''expected'' to kill each-other off over the course of their education so that only a handful of the strongest and smartest hybrids are left standing.
138	* TokenHeroicOrc: Even before her aura is unlocked, and before she ever meets Jaune, Ruby has stood out among the hybrids for being abnormally capable of exuding positive feelings such as compassion and doing so on a regular basis, to the other hybrids' revulsion. [[spoiler:Salem indicates that the magic in Ruby's Silver Eyes is the reason why she turned out differently as a hybrid]].
139	* TooDesperateToBePicky: At one point, Jaune eats Zwei's dog food, having not eaten for days and the only available food being raw meat.
140	* TookALevelInBadass: Jaune starts his adventure at the Grimm academy without aura or a semblance. He ends up being able to fight [[WorldsBestWarrior Pyrrha Nikos]] to a standstill.
141	* TookALevelInCynic: Salem's prisoner, [[spoiler:Summer Rose]], has evidently become very cynical and given up hope of being rescued over the years she's been locked up [[spoiler:and had her Grimmified, amnesiac daughter repeatedly wheeled in front of her]]. She acts acrid when she realizes who Jaune is, and she makes it clear she doesn't have any faith that he can beat Salem's plan [[spoiler:for her daughters]].
142	* TragicMonster: All of the Grimm Hybrids were just children turned into monsters by Salem. [[TheDreaded Blake]] was the oldest when she was turned and the only one with Aura, and when she turns it on, Jaune is surprised to find that she immediately breaks down sobbing in horror at all the things her Grimm self did. Grimm!Blake later refers to that state as the real her, and equates it to Jaune seeing her naked.
143	* TranshumanTreachery: On top of [[JustifiedTrope their initial Grimmification suppressing their capacity for human emotions]] [[spoiler:until their auras are unlocked]], all the hybrids have been indoctrinated from an early age to believe that the human and Faunus races which they were once part of are their universal enemy and must be killed on sight. Yang, unlike Ruby and Weiss, ''does'' remember her human past including her and Ruby's real family, but she feels so bitter and cynical towards her former species that it doesn't matter [[spoiler:until she learns after her reunion with Raven that Jaune is a human]].
144	* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening:
145	** Jaune awakens his Aura after being EatenAlive by a King Tajitu.
146	** In general, awakening Aura is this for hybrids, as they have to experience all the feelings of humanity that their hybrid nature has kept suppressed, all at once. Ruby manages to slip through, but when Blake turns her Aura on she breaks down sobbing, and [[spoiler: Weiss goes completely berserk after Winter unlocks her Aura]].
147	* TykeBomb: Downplayed. The hybrids were abducted and turned when they were children or teenagers, and with their humanities suppressed by the transformation, they're being raised to become Salem's Grimm infiltrators.
148	* UnskilledButStrong: Yang, Ruby, and Weiss all qualify compared to canon. They're all far stronger but rely more on their physical ability. Yang and Ruby don't even know what their Semblances are while Weiss hasn't unlocked hers due to not having her Aura unlocked yet.
149	* UnwantedHarem: Jaune has one made up of Ruby, Weiss, Yang, and Blake. That last one scares him the most since Blake is TheDreaded.
150	* VillainRespect:
151	** Tyrian Callows (who sees Salem as a goddess) admires the way Jaune has managed to garner a harem of Grimm hybrids.
152	** Mercury, unlike his cohorts, is actually ''impressed'' after Jaune, Weiss and Ruby flooded the Vale CCT Tower with porn website malware: the next time that he sees them after news of the act has spread, he grants them a nod and a shit-eating grin.
153	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: When Cinder threatens to kill Jaune, Ruby and Weiss proceed to glare and snarl at her while attempting to surround her. Even Blake comes out the shadows and wraps her tentacle around Cinder's neck.

155	* WeaksauceWeakness: Blake is afraid of positivity. Sun accidentally drives her off just by being cheerful.
156	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Part of Ruby's character arc.
157	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Except for Ruby, hybrids tend to have brief but violent bouts of insanity when first awakening their Aura.
158	* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Winter can immediately tell something is wrong when Ironwood refers to her as ''Miss'' Schnee instead of ''Specialist'' Schnee: [[spoiler:it's because he's stripped her of her rank as a Specialist after discovering that she went behind his back]].
159	* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Yang has a shotgun she took off a Huntsman. She and others mistake Jaune's Crocea Mors as a similar trophy.
160	* YouLookLikeYouveSeenAGhost: Yang says this word-for-word to Qrow during his substitute class. She's clearly invoking this trope because [[spoiler:she knows who he is and realizes that he recognizes her]].
