No where as fun as a Yandere Pyrrha, Yandere Penny, or Adam.

They probably already are a little yandere. Especially Nora.

Just a little. Ren has a safeguarding apron, he'll be fine. '3'

Cracking Semblances, part 3:

Semblance: the outward appearance or apparent form of something, especially when the reality is different.

  • Ruby - her Semblance is the ability to move at high speeds, visually she becomes a rose, something delicate - but Ruby is not delicate,, her silver eyes are the mark of a monster-hunter. Her ability is speed, but she's actually rather slow on the uptake.
  • Weiss - her Semblance is the ability to cast magic, mostly creating elevators and barriers. Most of these serve to enhance her abilities, to elevate herself in battle - when in reality, Weiss is the support member of Team RWBY, the least effective in battle (her performance against the Boarbatusk and Banesaw), and despite her supposedly lonely childhood, she wants companionship.
  • Blake - hers was defined in the show itself, but her Semblance is creating a decoy so that she can evade attacks, which makes her feel cowardly. But Blake's character development in Volume 2 is getting over this and facing Torchwick head-on, and it will probably happen again with her confronting Adam later.
  • Yang - her Semblance is the ability to endure, to absorb damage, she's the most powerful RWBY member. In reality, we see her take the most damage in the finale, she isn't indestructible.
  • Pyrrha - her Semblance is magnetism, the ability to attract virtually any metallic source. In reality, she's lonely, that's an easy one.
  • Jaune - we don't know what his Semblance is, and we can't determine whether reflecting Cardin's attack is his Semblance, or if its healing the cut on his cheek. But both are equally credible.
    • If its healing, we see Jaune being exceptionally hard on himself because of his false transcripts. It's probably going to take him awhile to forgive himself for not saving Pyrrha. His healing will take the longest.
    • If its the ability to reflect attacks... Jaune can reflect attacks from himself yes, he appears to be the "shield" of JNPR, but he's also it's sword. With Pyrrha's training he's become a halfway decent fighter - he's not all defense.
  • Nora - Nora's Semblance is absorbing and channeling electricity. This demonstrates she can safely channel electrical energy. In actuality, she can barely contain her own energy, she jitters, she rambles, she's more hyperactive than Ruby.
  • Ren's Semblance hasn't been revealed - blowing up the snake can be accomplished through using Aura, as demonstrated by Fox.
  • Mercury's Semblance is seemingly throwing missiles of ice, hurling cold objects. Externally, Mercury is cold and impersonal - his Semblance is ranged, keeping enemies at bay - but in actuality, as seen from his flashback with Emerald and Cinder, where his house is on fire, there's probably more to him, apparently a rough childhood. Mercury's feint against Yang involved It's Personal, him taking his loss badly and attacking Yang. Now its a stretch, but what if that wasn't just an act, what if it turns out that Mercury really is a sore loser, that Emerald, his partner in crime, conjured an illusion of him based on what he would probably do?
  • Emerald's Semblance is crafting illusions. Cinder found her on the street, apparently after stealing a watch or some object, I can't remember. Emerald seems delighted to see Cinder, but Cinder ignored her and threatened her. Another stretch since we don't know a lot about them, but maybe Emerald is under a delusion of her own. Notice how she shows pity over Vale's fate, while Cinder gives zero f'cks. I get the impression Emerald's heart isn't into this.
  • We don't know for sure what Cinder's Semblance is, or if it even matters at this point, but someone said it was probably shapeshifting/clothing generation, since she's inspired by Cinderella. So, evil Cinderella probably would change gowns. You can almost see why she'd think life cheated her, getting such a useless power. She compensates by gaining fire powers, dust-modifications, and a bow-dual pair of swords. Her Semblance is, presumably, kind of tame. In actuality, Cinder is a Lady of War.
  • Sun's Semblance is, presumably, his weird light clones. Similar to Blake's, except his clones are meant to attack. The first scene of Sun is him running away. This doesn't really have correlation, but it's interesting that he tends to be evasive in certain scenes, but his Semblance is an offensive power. It also gives him a distraction, but then, we see him immediately rush in, risking himself to save Blake.
  • Neo's Semblance is presumably creating holograms, tricks of light, hallucinations, which are typically harmless and innocent. In reality, Neo gets a Slasher Smile when she's about to kill Yang, she's anything but harmless.

And last but not least:

I thought they were just magic missiles.

Which means Yang is a Muscle Wizard.

Maybe her semblance is to copy other people's semblances by touching them like Rogue but without hurting people

If that's true, why isn't Velvet a cat faunus?

Because her powers and equipment make her a copycat.

Funny, in the RWBY Fanfiction thread we were just talking about Psyga315's fanfic idea of Yang from canon RWBY going on a trip to an AU where shit's different, and DarthSion asked if this fic was actually just Yang going on a "trip" [lol]

I think Raven being evil is too simplistic it'd be a bit more interesting if she was on the side of good but not on the side of Ozpin
