Whitley's introduction tells us that either he used to be a brat but is trying to improve, or he still is an antagonist who is only pretending to have changed when he's only become more manipulative. Tie will tell which it is.

I have a dream that one day Schee's will not be judged by the colors of their ties, but by the content of their character!

So I did this theory where Summer is not only a Faunus, but also created White Fang. Thoughts?

going back to the despicable topic of shipping for a bit, about how much older than Winter do you think Qrow is?

[up][up]I dislike the tendency to "everyone is a faunus until explicitly stated not to be". More to the point, that's the kind of thing that's would have already been brought up what with the faunus drama.

Well, Winter is Weiss's sister and Qrow is Ruby's uncle. I'd say a generation or so.

Winter looks like she's in her mid twenties. Qrow doesn't look that much older than her. So I'd say he's anywhere from eight to twelve years older than Winter.

[up] He and Raven were fraternal twins IIRC, and assume Raven had Yang at around 20 (which is fairly young), that would make Qrow 37 or 38 depending on what his birthday is.

Wait, that is a tendency? I only heard of the theory about Raven, which is based on her wearing a Grimm mask. The theory includes Qrow and Yang, sometimes, but only because that is the logical consequence. Never seem it more widespread than that. Who else could be a faunus anyway? The Schnee family?

i think yang and weiss would be very aware they were faunus when they were able to see in the dark

It just seems to crop up about random new characters, seemingly for no other reason that because it would make them "cooler" or "more exotic". With the rationale apparently being that if it isn't explicitly said they're not then they could just be hiding it like Blake. Ignoring that Blake had a very specific reason for that, of course.

[up][up]Well, Yang would be half faunus, if Raven was one. We don't know how hybrids work in this world, so maybe it is possible for Yang to never have known. But, yeah, I was joking about the Schnees.

[up]Really? Uh, never noticed. I don't follow the fandom too closely during hiatus, so I guess I just missed it.

Assuming Qrow is Raven's fraternal twin (or is nine months younger than her) then about the very youngest he can be is in his mid-thirties (if Raven had Yang at seventeen or eighteen). He's more likely to be in his forties.

[up][up]We do actually.

  • On a Facebook Q&A, Miles and Kerry broke down the breeding genetics of Faunus:
    • If two Faunus of the same phenotype breed (e.g. two Dog Faunus), their child will also be of the same species.
    • If a Faunus and a human breed, their child will either be a Faunus or a Human.
    • If two Faunus of different types breed (e.g. a Dog Faunus and a Cat Faunus), their child will have a chance of being a random type.

Yang is secretly a faunus. Ruby, conspicuously, is not. Because Blake is a faunus, Weiss is not a faunus, and interracial relations are a sin! LGBT, on the other hand, is A-Okay.

Don't ask how Yang and Ruby are of different races if interracial relations are a sin. tongue

[up][up][up]Ah, okay. I actually remember that now. That would explain Yang, in the eventuality Raven is a faunus (or Ruby if Summer is one, I guess).

[up]Ruby is secretly Qrow's daughter, of coursetongue. And that would mean Qrow is human and, therefore not actually Raven's brother. Their family is just very open like that.

[up]Fraternal twins aren't genetically the same, they're from two separate egg/sperm. Fraternal twins to a Faunus/Human couple could indeed be Faunus/Human.

I feel that if Summer was a Faunus Ruby would have mentioned it. I have no reason to believe that her family would hide something like that from her.

[up][up] If one of the two was a Faunus, I'd guess it would be the guy who can turn into a bird.

Mind, it's possible Raven can also turn into a bird. And we have no idea how Qrow does it in the first place. But you get the point.

So, I don't know if it has been brought up, but Weiss' eye-color-changing butler's name apparently means Little Seven. Seven eye colors and mannerisms, in this case. He's the dwarfs to her Snow White.

[up][up][up][up]I was going with Drake's scenario in witch interracial relationship is a sin and, therefore, impossible, making it impossible for two blood siblings to be of different races. I wasn't serious.

@Wyldchyld: Ironwood's embargo makes sense if he and the other members of the Atlesian military elite have concluded behind closed doors that war, or at least skirmishes is either inevitable or more likely than not even if they don't take actions that will escalate tensions.

Ironwood's concerns about what the Dust may be used for are valid concerns and that's ignoring the fact he's got some awareness of what kind of enemy they're up against and that this enemy was stealing and hoarding Dust for some reason.

Like I said, his heart's in the right place.

But there's a reason why I said Schnee's head is in the right place. Schnee can see the kind of consequences that'll happen from Ironwood's action. In trying to prevent war, Ironwood's actually in danger of triggering one. Unlike, Ironwood, however, Schnee's heart does not seem to be in the right place, as the reason for his concerns over the consequences do not appear to be altruistic - or at least do not seem to be primarily altruistic.

Countries hoarding oil and dictating oil prices trigger widespread political unrest that can threaten, and even cause, wars in the most politically vulnerable regions. We know that Dust has a stranglehold on the current Remnant standard of living (and protection) and one Kingdom has a monopoly on the supply and cost of Dust. It's a powder-keg waiting to explode and Ironwood's actions are throwing more wood on the fire.

The moon being broken is typically a meaningful detail. It's subtle foreshadowing for whatever broke the moon, which either inevitably becomes part of the conflict at some point or is a critical piece of background lore that sets the stage for the conflict.

Yes, a broken moon, a world called 'Remnant' and a technology based on something called 'Dust' that is very strongly implied to have a shocking origin. The broken moon is important, all right. It's probably the key clue of the entire story - the one that's right in front of your nose the entire time.

No, I get that, I'm just saying I find it off for another reason than I'm supposed to.

I don't think you're wrong to get a sci-fi vibe from RWBY. It's certainly the science-fantasy end rather than true sci-fi (heavy emphasis on the 'fantasy'), but the vibe is definitely there.

going back to the despicable topic of shipping for a bit, about how much older than Winter do you think Qrow is?

My guess: Qrow is approximately 15-20 years older than Winter (Qrow being mid-late thirties and Winter being early-mid twenties). I place Winter as being approximately five years older than Weiss and Qrow as being the younger brother to Raven (Ruby having followed in his footsteps by being someone who got into Beacon early). Qrow gives off a 'younger brother' vibe.

On the other hand, Ironwood looks like a guy in his fifties, so may be Qrow's older. Remnant humans are taller on average than in real life, so perhaps their lifespan is potentially longer than we think, too.

" my head cannon is that Ruby's like him in a number of ways, including early entrance to Beacon, making Qrow a couple of years younger than Raven rather than a twin."

Well, Qrow is clearly a foil version of Ruby, while Ruby is awkards and have trouble relating to people, Qrow is clearly antagonistic and dosent give a damn most of the time and I will guess Qrow was like Ruby until something happen and make him a cynic or the year just wears him down until what it is.

Now, we have snowife, the dwarf....where is the huntsmen? or the evil queen?
