	~ Weiss Schnee

Weiss Schnee is one of the members of Team RWBY from the Internet show, RWBY.

Background[]

Though little else is known about her background, Weiss was born as an heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, which her father currently controls. However, due to the company's mistreatment of Faunus labor and the resulting escalating backlash targeted at the both the company and her family by the Faunus Civil Rights Protest and the White Fang, her childhood upbringing was a "very difficult" one.

She accounts multiple times greeting her stress-ridden, aggravated father after the workday, which produced a very uneasy family lifestyle when Weiss was a child. She also recalls several hardships within the company, such as the disappearance of family and friends, as well as the execution of company board members at the hand of the White Fang extremists. As a result, her frustration and hatred was directed towards Faunus as the cause of her family's troubles.

Powers & Abilities[]

Aura: Aura is the manifestation of one's soul and can be used for wide range of abilities. The specific abilities and their strengths differ from individual to individual and are dependant on a number of factors, such as experience, training and innate skill. Weiss' aura can heal minor injuries and decrease damage taken.
Semblance: Semblance is the manifestation of one's innate and personal power as an ability unique to each individual, with the effects varying greatly from user to user. It can be described as a tangible manifetstation of one's aura.
- Glyphs: Weiss' Semblance is Glyphs, which is the hereditary Semblance of the Schnee family. Her Glyphs have a variety of effects on objects, monsters, and people, but she often uses her Glyphs for propulsion, as they can control motion, with the basic Glyph type exerting push forces on other objects and acting as a solid surface.
  - Default Glyphs: Weiss' default Glyph allows her to create a seemingly solid force, allowing Weiss to push whatever is within their influence. This Glyph usually appears white or pale blue. Weiss can stand on this Glyph, using it as a platform for various acrobatic movements, including breaking a free-fall and quickly reversing her motion by kicking off of it mid-air, as well as instantly amplifying the speed of objects both through the air and over surfaces. She can also use this Glyph to create a barrier. When directly channeled through Myrtenaster, the white setting instead creates what can best be described as a 'finishing move', causing enormous damage to foes. When used on the Arma Gigas, it appeared to disintegrate into ice shards after being hit with this move.
  - Dust Glyphs: Using Myrtenaster, Weiss can modify her Glyphs to give them added effects. Weiss is also able to confer these enhancements upon other people.
    - Ice: Weiss can utilize her Glyphs to manipulate what shape her ice will take. She can launch towards a foe using a circling motion of Myrtenaster's blade, send out a wave or field of ice from the blade to trap or immobilizing a foe, augment projectile attacks so that they explode into ice crystals on impact, create large barriers of ice and giant swords, and can even use her Glyphs to manipulate ice in her surroundings. As of Volume 6, Weiss can use ice Glyphs directly on her opponent, using them to freeze their body itself so thoroughly that attacking it causes them to physically shatter.
      - Pierce: Weiss uses a glyph to propel herself forward, freezing the enemy on contact as well as any in the immediate area.
    - Gravity: A black Glyph with several different properties. Gravity Glyphs demonstrate a pulling property, and when used on a solid surface it allows Weiss or anyone on it to stick to it and not fall off, even if that surface is vertical or even upside-down. When used in mid-air, this Glyph can amplify the speed anything sent through it so it moves several times faster than its initial velocity. Weiss can also combine this Glyph with her default Glyph to create a mid-air platform that she can stand on at any angle, and can manipulate to change her trajectory instantly to the point that so much as touching the glyph with her finger will propel her in the opposite direction. Gravity Glyphs can also be used offensively to create a low or anti-gravity field to make enemies float in midair and allows Weiss to throw them around while they are in said field, as well as create Glyphs in front of her to repel opponents and underneath the opponent to launch them into the air. Weiss can also augment her physical attacks with this Glyph, allowing her to deal increased damage with her slashes, as well as trap enemies inside of a Glyph to restrain them.
    - Hard Light: When combined with her Glyphs, Weiss can create numerous light blue glyphs that fire energy projectiles that curve through the air and strike her opponent as well as create restraints to suspend her foe in midair.
    - Time Dilation: Weiss can utilize her Glyphs in conjunction with Lightning Dust to create a time dilation field, which speeds up the user's actions.
  - Summoning Glyphs: A Glyph unique to the Schnee family, Weiss can summon avatars of the foes that she has defeated in combat and bring them to fight for their side. She has shown to be proficient enough to be able to summon creatures such as a Boarbatusk and the Arma Gigas. She can also cause her summons to teleport and use her glyphs as surfaces to jump off, as demonstrated in "Dread in the Air". She is capable of manipulating the size of her summons, as seen in "Unforeseen Complications".

Equipment[]

Myrtenaster: Weiss' weapon of choice is Myrtenaster, a Multi-Action Dust Rapier. The rapier has a revolving chamber inside the guard, which has six slots in total, each of which contains a vial of powdered Dust. The revolving chamber is constantly stocked with red, cyan, purple, white, yellow, and blue Dust, which Weiss utilizes in combat, either in raw form or in conjunction with her Semblance to create various effects that suit the situation. When not using Myrtenaster as a Dust supplier, Weiss utilizes her speed to dodge attacks and her sword to deliver damage through quick thrusts that leave little room for counters.
- Ice Dust: The primary type of Dust Weiss uses in combat, this type of Dust allows Weiss to manipulate ice in a variety of ways.
  - Ice Crystals: Weiss has shown the capability to create a wall of ice crystals on the ground which she uses to trap an opponent, large areas of pointed ice spikes in her general vicinity, and smaller ice crystals as projectiles.
  - Sheet Ice: Weiss uses Dust to form a thin, slippery sheet of ice on the ground.
  - Frostbite: Weiss leaps into the air and plunges Myrtenaster down in a punishing blow, damaging the surrounding enemies and freezing them solid.
  - Nova: Weiss releases a burst of ice Dust-infused energy in the area around her, freezing enemies on contact and healing herself and allies around her.
  - Barrage: Weiss can create a storm of ice crystals that can home in on enemies, as well as up to 9 beams of energy or a single, powerful blast which damages and freezes all enemies it touches.
- Fire Dust: Weiss uses Fire Dust to manipulate flames, giving her the ability to create single, precise lines of fire, wide arcs of fire that can spread over a wide area, projectile fireballs, or multiple small precision fireballs. She can also concentrate Fire Dust into the tip of her blade to use as a precision welding tool.
- Wind Dust: Weiss can use wind Dust to create a whirlwind from Myrtenaster's blade. This whirlwind is powerful enough to counteract Flynt Coal's soundwaves.
- Lightning Dust: Although Weiss has yet to utilize it directly in combat, Myrtenaster contains a vial of powdered Lightning Dust.
- Gravity Dust: Although Weiss has yet to utilize it directly in combat, Myrtenaster contains a vial of powdered gravity Dust.
- Hard Light Dust: A cyan-colored dust that Weiss can use to make barriers out of solidified light.
