Main Character

Narrator Hades

Narrator Hades/Sabrinaverse Hades

Alternate Self: This Hades is from the Sabrinaverse.
Everyone Has Standards: In Chapter 15, he says that he loves chaos but even he thinks Sapphire and Ganondorf need to be stopped and doesn't kidnap Ruby until after she's said goodbye to Summer
Kidnapped by the Call: Ends up pulling this on main universe Ruby to help solve the situation in the Sapphire Onyx timeline.
Large Ham: It's Hades, no matter what role he is in, it is to be expected of him.
Interactive Narrator: Depends on the situation, as this is very rare but not unheard of, as he starts the series by throwing out the Watcher and even pulls the main universe Ruby into another universe.
Official Couple: He is married to Yukari Yakumo and has a daughter named Buru.
Talking to Themself: Because he is the narrator of the series and the one showing us all of these universes, he usually tends to talk to himself.

What If... Dark Ruby Had a Vision?

Good Dark Ruby

Good Feels Good: Though she initially sets off doing good deeds to avert her demise in Super RWBY IF Chapter 17, she comes to this realization later on.
Heel–Face Turn: Due to her future visions and advice from Madame Clairvoya, this Dark Ruby becomes a hero on a path to redemption.
Pragmatic Villainy: Her doing good deeds at first-she only sees it as a way to keep herself from dying. However, she quickly realizes Good Feels Good and becomes a true hero.
Rapid-Fire "No!" / Big "NO!": Lets out these when Team Dark RWB and Meta drag her into Princess Peach's Castle, after she advises not getting the jump on the heroes and leave them alone because she doesn't want to be blown up by Ruby. Her team and the Meta think she's just being ridiculous.
Seers: Uniquely, this version can see visions of possible outcomes. Sadly, people often ignore her advice and suffer.
Took a Level in Kindness: Surprisingly, this happens in Chapter 17 of Super RWBY IF: after failing to prevent visions of her teammates' deaths from coming to pass because they didn't believe her and visiting Madame Clairvoya, Dark Ruby discards her old name and does genuinely heroic deeds throughout the storyline to initially prevent her demise, but ends up becoming an actual hero.

What If... Death Trained Ruby?

Grimm Reaper Ruby

Reaper Rose / Ruby Rose

Comically Lopsided Rivalry: Has this with The Devil due to her taking souls away from him and doing his job better than him. The Devil is an Unknown Rival to her and she easily takes his soul when he and King Dice confront her while she is on vacation alongside her friends and family.
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite becoming the Grimm Reaper of Remnant, and having a drastic appearance change, she is still the same Ruby Rose we all know and love underneath it all.
Department of Redundancy Department: lampshaded, a lot, as Ruby's new name is Reaper Rose while her title is Rose Reaper.
My God, What Have I Done?: Her response when she realizes she didn't have to Ret-Gone Dark Pit.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: When she kills people born of unnatural means, i.e. Dark Pit, Dark Weiss, and Dark Ruby any memory of their existence gets erased, with her being the only one who remembers.
Took a Level in Badass: Reaper Rose is powerful enough to defeat several major villains without trouble. The same villains that the heroes back in the original universe have often struggled with or are still having a hard time stopping.

For Want Of A Nail: As a result of her taking Samus' place and her no-nonsense attitude she takes out several threats before they could ever become a problem for the heroes, making one question if Ridley did more good than harm in this universe. Which Narrator Hades has no issue pointing out in excruciating detail in the next chapter.
Love Is a Weakness: Due to Raven Beak's influence she tends to hold this belief, but over time and due to her interactions with Pikachu she begins to question this belief.

What If... Junko Won?

Phazon Despair Queen Junko

Adaptational Badass: Due to her obtaining Phazon powers and the powers of the previous Fall Maiden Cinder Fall she became a force to be reckoned with, that even some of the most powerful characters had trouble with fighting.
The Bad Guy Wins: Even though she dies in the end, the consequences of her actions will forever be felt in her universe, most of the heroes are dead, Ruby and Chiaki are forever traumatized and the survivors will have to live with the memories of what happened.

What If... An X-Parasite Befriended Blake?

Blake and Sahila/X-Blake

Adaptational Heroism: Sahila is the first X-parasite in the series to not try and kill any of the heroes.
Constantly Curious: Sahila shows curiosity about what to eat and always asks Blake if they could eat it.
Expy: A character with an alien parasite inside of them, acting as a heroic figure that can eat their opponents in one bite, now are we talking about Blake and Sahila or Eddie and Venom? This is not lost on some of the more genre-savvy characters.
Meaningful Rename: X-Blake decided to rename herself Sahila after a suggestion by Blake.
Team Pet: They have both a baby Naracuga and Glavenus.

What If... Weiss Was Raised by the Faunus of Menagerie?

Weiss Tojo-Belladonna

Adaptational Nice Guy: While her canon counterpart wasn't very mean, this version of Weiss is a lot nicer than how Weiss was at the start of the series in the main timeline.
Adaptational Sexuality: In canon, Weiss is dating the male Neptune. Here, she's implied to be somewhere on the LGBT+ spectrum, as she's heavily implied to have feelings for Blake.
Happily Adopted: Even though she knows Kirumi isn't her mom, she doesn't care and loves her all the same.
In-Series Nickname: She ends up picking up the nickname Weiss Fang.

Artificial Limbs: Esdeath gives Xena and Yagami new hands, feet, and part of their ears due to heavy frostbite.

Summon Magic: She has three Heartbinders for summonable allies in the form of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Batman, Jack Skellington, and his dog, Zero.

Akoya Rose

Affectionate Nickname: Yang calls her "Ako" for short.
Baby Of The Bunch: She is the youngest of the Rose-Xiao Long family despite her appearance as a teenage girl, even younger than Maia.
Back from the Dead: She is this to Dark Ruby, who was reborn as a Nobody after her original self turned into a Heartless.
Happily Adopted: Despite being the Nobody of Dark Ruby, she was happily adopted and welcomed into the Rose-Xiao Long family with open arms without hesitation.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: She is like this towards Ruby, both figuratively and literally. Whereas the latter is loud, outgoing, and excitable while the former is shy, soft-spoken, and reserved.
Shrinking Violet: Unlike Dark Ruby, she is timid. She easily fainted when Ruby came up to her very fast.

The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

Five-Man Band: A group of five powerful, teenage heroes.

Batman

Bruce Wayne / Batman

Adaptational Badass: He gains additional abilities thanks to Heartbinder.
Beyond the Impossible: He somehow managed to summon himself to provide Ruby with backup against Dimentio and Ghirahim.
Catchphrase: "I'm Batman", usually said whenever he does something seemingly impossible.
Deadpan Snarker: Wouldn't be Batman if he wasn't always snarking.
For Want Of A Nail: Due to Batman getting Dimentio and Ghirahim to talk, most of the events of Super RWBY 3D Land do not happen due to Grimm/Heartless Ruby getting killed earlier.
Not So Above It All: When Daisy borrows his catchphrase, he gives her a fist bump.

What If... Chiaki Got Isekai'd to Hyrule?

Twilight Chiaki

Chiaki Nanami

A God Am I: While she hasn't exactly said it herself, it's obvious that with her reality-warping powers via the Triforce combined with her delusions of faux-heroism, she quite clearly has a god complex.
Adaptational Badass: Zigzagged. Armed with the power of the Triforce, Twilight Chiaki is stronger than Main Universe Chiaki during the events of Galactic Conquest Prime and 3D Land. However, whether or not she's stronger than her after gaining Dimentio's Chaos Powers remains to be seen.
- She also gained many new skills and unlike Prime Chiaki, she's willing to use anime-based powers and is fully capable of beating Chiaki and everybody else with her.
Affably Evil: She's still the same game-loving dork we all know and love, which makes it pretty easy to forget she's a corrupted Knight Templer out to eradicate all "evil".
Always Someone Better: As powerful as Chiaki is, she made the mistake of challenging the Beyonder from Marvel. Who on his best day, can cause multiversal destruction. Needless to say, Twilight Chiaki loses badly.
Asshole Victim: Deconstructed. At first Twilight Chiaki WAS killing only bad guys, making her a well-intentioned extremist at best. But as time goes on, Twilight continues to kill more and more villains until they she begins murdering 'villains' in name only or those who were a Necessary Evil such as Darkseid in some worlds. It eventually leads to her start killing good people who disagree with her as she becomes mentally unstable. Even villainous versions of herself, such as one who became Darth Vader, call her out on this.
Back from the Dead: The Goddess Hylia revived Chiaki into a new body after being killed by Junko.
The Bad Guy Wins: Her prime self comes to stop her. Sadly, Chiaki is unable to defeat Twilight Chiaki as the former and all her friends are beaten, sent back to their universe, and essentially forced to allow Twilight Chiaki to do whatever she wants in her universe.
Believing Their Own Lies: Despite killing countless villains no matter how small their crime is or willing to murder civilians as collateral damage (even if she can bring them back to life), Twilight Chiaki still believes herself the good guy.
Berserk Button: Do NOT call her a villain. She's a hero. No matter how many she's killed, she's still a hero. Junko also to a degree.
Break the Haughty: After facing the Beyonder, who defeats her, he strips her of the Tri-Force and causes her to realize all the horrible crimes she committed. Ashamed of herself. Then, just to be a jerk, the Beyonder places it back on her making her forget this epiphany but also damaging her mind.
Didn't Think This Through: She attempted to speedrun through Snowpeak Ruins. It almost worked. She just didn't take into account that the shard of the Mirror of Twilight would be heavy or the fact that the door would be locked from the inside.
- She failed to take into account how Zant would rebel against her and come back to haunt her literally.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Though she has fallen hard from the dorky gamer girl she used to be, Twilight Chiaki still cares deeply for Midna, Link, Zelda, and all her other classmates. She seals them in Hyrule so she can enjoy universal paradise with them together once she achieves her goal. However, it's implied this action was partly motivated by paranoia, as she knew her crusade was morally sketchy and sealed her friends in Hyrule so they wouldn't get in her way.
Fallen Heroine: Sadly, though she helped save Hyrule from Zant and brought peace to her world after defeating Junko, the Triforce has fully corrupted her, turning her from a hero desperate to return home to a self-righteous hypocrite who's willing to destroy all evil in the universe..no matter what.
Fatal Flaw: Desperation. She was willing to do anything to get back home no matter the cost. Taking the power of full Triforce ultimately corrupted her.
Foil: Twilight Chiaki is this to Sapphire Onyx. Both are villainous counterparts of a beloved hero who became corrupted by the Triforce of Power to defeat their respective Arch-Enemy who had caused them a lot of pain (Dark Ruby for Sapphire, Junko for Twilight Chiaki). But while Sapphire was a Card-Carrying Villain who ruled Remnant with an iron fist, Twilight Chiaki is a Knight Templer who is on a crusade to eradicate all villains in her universe. They were also great enough threats that their main universe counterpart was sent in to bring them down (Though not so willingly on Ruby's part, as Narrator Hades forcibly launched her into Sapphire's timeline). However, while Ruby managed to overpower Sapphire Onyx and got her to see the error of her ways and reform, Chiaki wasn't so lucky, as not only did her Twilight counterpart utterly refuse to see reason and still believe herself to be in the right, despite all evidence proving otherwise, but Twilight Chiaki easily defeats Chiaki and Co. and sends them back to their universe, not deterred in her crusade one bit.
Heel–Face Door-Slam: After the Beyonder takes the Triforce away from her, Twilight Chiaki finally thinks clearly for the first time since she defeated Junko, free from its corruptive influence. As she does, she realizes what she had done, slaughtering countless people she saw as villains, even people like Bowser, the Wario Bros., Claude, and Edelgard, who weren't truly evil people. As the words of Main Universe Chiaki rang in her mind, she finally realized that she was the villain all along, sobbing in remorse at what she had done. But before she could reflect on her sins and forge her path to redemption, the Beyonder, out of pure amusement, returned the Triforce to her, not only erasing her epiphany but damaging her mind to the point she cannot tell friend from foe, making her even more unstable than before.
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: After the Beyonder defeats Twilight Chiaki while also causing mental damage, Twilight Chiaki is unable to discern who is genuinely good. This causes everyone to realize innocent bystanders are in danger of her after she kills Makoto for trying to support her.
Killing Your Alternate Self: Has gone insane enough that she's willing to kill all 'false' Chiakis, even innocent ones like a mother with kids.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Zelda, Link, and those who helped her get back home...imprisoned.
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: It's made very clear by everyone that Twilight Chiaki is no longer a hero. Despite what Twilight Chiaki might say.
Only the Chosen May Wield: The Master Sword and the pieces of the Triforce SHOULD have left her after committing her crimes. Unfortunately, Chiaki found a way to forcibly keep them on her despite clearly being unworthy.
Power-Up: She obtained several Legend of Zelda tools during her adventure in Hyrule.
- She obtained a steel longsword, iron shield, and metal boomerang.
- She obtained a crossbow allowing her to shoot Fire, Ice, Shock, and Bomb Arrows.
- At the end of Chapter 16 of Wings Of Ruin, she gains the Infinity Gauntlet.
Precision F-Strike: Unlike Chiaki of the main universe, she has no problem swearing.
Revenge: Part of her quest is to become strong enough to defeat Junko for what she has done.
Team Pet: She obtained a black horse named Blackberry and renamed it Ibuki.
Sanity Has Advantages: When facing another Chiaki, who's a single mother with no powers, Twilight Chiaki ends up injured and humiliated before killing her. Justified as her slipping sanity causes her to make many mistakes she wouldn't have had she been sane and used her power right.
Sealed Evil in a Can: To a degree, Twilight Chiaki is currently content in dealing with all evil in her universe and a few local ones. She threatens her prime self she will go to the main one and others to destroy if Prime Chiaki ever returns. Though time will tell if she leaves her universe or not forever.
Sealed Good in a Can: Imprison all her friends and allies, including from Hyrule to ensure they can't betray her for trying to save the universe.
Underestimating Badassery: Twilight Chiaki seemingly forgot that the Beyonder is someone who is a multiversal threat in the Marvel universe. As such, she ends up losing badly by overestimating her own strength.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Link and Zelda chose very poorly in giving Chiaki their prices of the Triforce and Master Sword.
Villain Killer: A pretty terrifying example. After beating Junko and erasing Zant for good, Chiaki started getting corrupted by the Triforce and began ridding the universe of all evil. For example, in the Mushroom Kingdom, she took care of threats from the main universe such as Fawful and Midbus, and she somehow got into the Paper Universe and took care of Count Bleck and his minions. However, her quest also extends to lesser villains such as Bowser and the Koopa Troop, as well as trouble-making Anti-Heroes like Wario and Waluigi. And based on the Finale of her Super RWBY IF story, it's heavily implied she also killed Claude and Edelgard.
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Once she stops Junko via a wish from the Triforce, she realizes that she can use it to get rid of any evil...even people like Bowser or Claude.
Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": Twilight Chiaki is shown to become much worse during her time to rid evil from the world. Outright admitting to committing GENOCIDE on the entire Koopa Troopa species except for Junior...who she proceeds to educate for his own good.
Would Hurt a Child: Willing to kill even child versions of herself, which horrifies a version of Chiaki that became a Sith Lord.
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Although she practically committed genocide on the entire Koopa Troop in her timeline, she couldn't bring herself to do the same to Bowser Junior. That said, she DID put him in a re-education camp inside Hope's Peak and is practically grooming him to be a good guy, so...
You Are What You Hate: By this point, Twilight Chiaki becomes no different from the genuine villains she's killed. Killing her version of Remnant and hundreds of versions of herself all while deluding herself that she's still a hero.
You Monster!: Everyone who sees her actions sees Twilight Chiaki as this.

Isekai Zant

Zant

Adaptational Badass: This version proved to be much more dangerous than the canon self once provoked and not serving Ganondorf.
Back from the Dead: He would return as a ghost and possess Junko in another attempt to kill both Chiaki and Midna. He had to be destroyed by Triforce to ensure he could not return.
Big Bad: He is the main villain of What If... Chiaki Got Isekai'd to Hyrule? 4-parter along with Junko.
Hijacked by Ganon: He takes over Ganondorf's place as the final enemy for Chiaki to defeat in both Hyrule and Japan.

Our Zombies Are Different: She is a friendly zombie and joins Yang's group on their adventure.
Running Gag: She will occasionally ask her friend if she can eat their brain, and said friend usually says no.

Shipper on Deck: She's very supportive of the idea of Pyrrha and Jaune getting together.

What If... Maki Assassinated Jacques?

Jacques Schnee

Asshole Victim: Obviously.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Jacques gets assassinated by Maki in many alternate timelines, with his deaths ranging from quick and painless to cartoonisly violent. Though given this is Jacques we're talking about, it's pretty cathartic.

Maki Harukawa

Adaptational Personality Change: Though still rather aloof and stoic, this iteration of Maki isn't nearly as rude or cold as she was in V3 prior to her Character Development. She can also be pretty eccentric at times, as her murders of Jacques Schnee across different timelines can attest to.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She is tasked with assassinating Jacques Schnee. And although in many timelines, her methods of said assassination are...eccentric to say the least, she still got the job done.
Chained to a Railway: She inflicts this on Jacques in an alternate timeline when tasked with assassinating him, doing it the old-fashioned way as she knocked him out, tied him to a railway, and mercilessly ran him over while posing as a train conductor.

What If... Yang Touched The Chaos Heart?

Harmonic Yang

Big Sister Instinct: As always. The Point of Divergence that creates this timeline is Yang, utterly enraged by how much Dimentio made Ruby suffer, breaks free of her bindings to prevent Ruby from touching the Chaos Heart and jumps on it, then pretty much beats it into submission.
Power Gives You Wings: One of the things the transformation grants her is big angel wings.
Precision F-Strike: This line from her to Dimentio, which doubles as a Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
Yang: Hey Dimentio. Fuck your prophecy.
Screw Destiny: As Dimentio angrily points out, Harmonic Yang's entire existence is pretty much one middle finger to the prophecy stating someone would get corrupted by the Chaos Heart, something she is very happy to embrace.

The Chaos Heart

Artifact of Doom: It's supposed to destroy all worlds and allow the user to corrupt others. Yang, however, changes its mind.
Grew Beyond Their Programming: Sensing Yang's desire to protect Ruby from it, as well as her passion for good and heroism, allows the Chaos Heart to grant Yang the power to restore the worlds rather than bring their destruction.
Heel–Face Turn: Goes from planning to destroy the world to giving Yang the power to restore it.
Sentient Phlebotinum: As it turns out, it's sentient, as shown by Yang speaking to it.
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: It's baffled by all of Yang's positive emotions at first. However, after long enough with Yang repeatedly punching it, it shifts into wanting to feel these emotions for itself.

What If... Kokoro Was Born In Towa City?

Towa City Kokoro

Adaptational Backstory Change: This Kokoro was born in Towa City and is a human instead of a Faunus.
Affectionate Nickname: Called either "Kokoron" or "Star-Eyes" by Komaru and Toko/Genocide Jack respectively.
Amnesiac Hero: She was freed from her brainwashing with Komaru's help... but this resulted in her being left amnesiac as a result. As such, she couldn't remember how she ended up as a Monokuma Kid in the first place or recognize her biological mother upon reuniting with her. Strangely, she seemed to recognize the Warriors of Hope, but couldn't put a thing or two about why she was closely familiar with them.
Brainwashed and Crazy: First introduced as a faceless Monokuma Kid brainwashed into doing the Warriors of Hope's bidding. Miraculously, she is freed from it when Komaru safely removes her Monokuma Helmet after it malfunctioned and short-circuited.
Curtains Match the Windows: She has dirty blonde hair and golden yellow eyes.
Exotic Eye Designs: Has star-shaped irises here. This gives off a hint that she used to be associated with the Warriors of Hope on a personal level, given how they also have different unique variations of this on the Danganronpa characters' normal eye designs.
Idiot Hair: Has a small ahoge on top of her head like her fellow protagonists Komaru and Toko.
Nice Girl: In spite of her shyness, she's still a sweet and kind-hearted girl without a mean bone in her body.
Protectorate: Is seen as this by Komaru and (somewhat) Toko after they rescue her from her brainwashed state. This is helped by the fact that Komaru made a promise to her biological mother that she would take care of her in her place.
Shrinking Violet: Like her mainstream counterpart, she's presented as a meek and introverted little girl.
Sympathy for the Devil: Despite everything they've done, she couldn't help but feel a measure of sympathy for Masaru and Jataro after witnessing them being beaten up mercilessly by a gang of Monokuma Kids following their defeats, believing that even they did not deserve to suffer a cruel fate like that or an abusive childhood that led them into walking down the dark path they choose to follow.
Tagalong Kid: Justified as she has nobody other than Komaru and Toko to look after her after she was freed from her brainwashing as a Monokuma Kid. Despite this, she's shown to be perfectly capable of holding her own in a fight.
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Even if they deserve it, she couldn't bring herself to take another human life. She even lampshades this:
"Wh-what?! N-No! I-I would never kill anyone in cold blood even if they deserve it! Honest!"
Token Mini-Moe: A cute and innocent-looking elementary school-aged girl who's the third party member of the Ultra Despair Girls. Helped by the fact that she's younger than Komaru Naegi, who's a high school-aged girl, and Toko Fukawa, who's in her late teens to early 20s.
Tragic Keepsake: She holds onto Masaru's headphones and Jataro's stitched mask after she witnessed them being taken away and violently beaten up by Monokuma Kids.

Komaru Naegi

Big Sister Instinct: Although not blood-related, she doesn't hesitate to jump into Kokoro's defense in times of serious danger.
Cool Big Sis: Presents herself as a protective, kind, and caring surrogate older sister towards Kokoro, similar to how Chelsea was to her Kokoro in the main universe.
Idiot Hair: Has one on top of her head like her fellow protagonists Toko and Kokoro.

Toko Fukawa & Genocide Jack

Blood Knight: Pretty much so for Genocide Jack.
Idiot Hair: Has one on top of her head like her fellow protagonists Komaru and Kokoro.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Her crassness and self-deprecating humor aside, Toko cares a lot about her friends and does what she thinks is best for everyone. She once wasted no time helping Komaru protect Kokoro by preparing to go Genocide Jack over a group of adults who were about to lynch the little girl out of their paranoia.

Alina Kinokoshi

Best Friend: With Hiroko Hagakure. Not to mention that she's also her most trusted right-hand woman in the Resistance.
It's All My Fault: Unlike the other parents of the Warriors of Hope, she voluntarily owns up to her abuse towards her own child and feels genuine remorse for her actions. She's also worried about the idea of how much her amnesiac daughter will hate her once she fully recovers her memories of her abusive past with her.
Mama Bear: Doesn't hesitate to threaten a group of paranoid adults in the Resistance's base with a loaded pistol when they almost tried to lynch her daughter. This parental, heroic act is what causes her to gain her trust along with Komaru and Toko's.
Only Sane Woman: One of the most level-headed and reasonable adults in the Resistance other than Hiroko.
Oral Fixation: She's always got a lollipop in her mouth, which serves as a healthy replacement for cigarettes given how she used to be a former smoker.
Parental Neglect: She once stated to Komaru that there were times when she used to leave Kokoro alone at home to fend for herself just to go out smoking or drinking with her friends following her husband's passing. She also outright admits out of guilt that she doesn't deserve to be a good mother to her daughter anymore because of this.
Strong Family Resemblance: She's essentially a grown-up version of her daughter but with wavy dirty brown shoulder-length hair and hazel brown eyes.
Troubled Abuser: The grief and sorrow she suffered after her husband died led to her abusing and neglecting her own daughter. She deeply regrets this though.

What If… Kaneshiro Was The CEO of WB (And Started an Uprising)?

Junya Kaneshiro

Corrupt Corporate Executive: He cancels and writes off a RWBY and Looney Tunes crossover in production despite the former’s success with their time with the Justice League, and orders more episodes of Teen Titans Go! and Velma.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: He is obviously a stand-in for the real-life CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav, who has gained infamy in real life due to him constantly writing down several projects at WB such as Coyote Vs Acme despite giving that film a second chance. In fact, this chapter was written the same day Zaslav shut down Rooster Teeth and is planning to sell off its IPs, RWBY included.
