I'm a victim! You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been in war with my family for years. War as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family, friends disappear. Board members... executed. An entire train car full of Dust stolen. And every day, my father would come home furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood.

I'm more than a name.

This is my home. And I'm not giving it up without a fight.
Weiss Schnee is the second member of Team RWBY, at 17 years of age, she is an heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, a corporation famous for its sometimes shady business dealings, dangerous practices, and mistreatment of its Faunus laborers.
Weiss chose to become a Huntress over taking a job at SDC to restore her family's honor, as her father caused the company to decline. At the start of the show, she was shown as self-centered, standoffish, and an obnoxious know-it-all, but has matured somewhat throughout the show.

Range: Standard melee range, Hundreds of meters with projectiles and shockwaves
Intelligence:Gifted combat-wise (Yang has extended experience and intelligence in combat, keeping up with characters like Mercury or larger monsters, even if they were seemingly stronger than her, just due to her skill and usage of her Semblance. She was also trained further with her father, a professional huntsman, and has now gotten even more skilled than she was before)
Standard Tactics: She leads physically, blocking attacks with her aura and absorbing physical strikes, before letting it all out on her opponent, typically one-shotting them.
Weaknesses: She is hot-headed, although this was somewhat resolved later in the story. She has also gained PTSD about losing her arm against Adam Taurus, resulting in her being distracted, alongside her arm shaking. Her Aura and Semblance can be drained if given enough damage, or if she's used too much of her semblance. This will also apply when she is resisting attacks, such as extreme colds or heats.
