Of course I don't know who I want to choose, so here's the options and you, the readers can help me decide the pairing
Male options:

Taiyang Xiao Long
Female options:
Winter Schnee
Glynda Goodwitch
Raven Branwen
Notes(For the few who haven't caught up in certain areas in RWBY there might be spoilers):
First off I'm leaving out certain characters because these are the ones I have ideas for. Characters such as Ozpin and James Ironwood are not viable because Ozpin finds himself in the body of a young boy and technically won't exist after their consciousnesses merged and I want to avoid putting Violet with someone sharing James Potter's first name because that seems like something that the character would be very unlikely to do.
Secondly, though it would be interesting I'd rather not do Taiyang, though I do have ideas if it ends up going that way.
Thirdly, I'd find it hilarious if Raven or Winter end up getting chosen just because of the relations between the two and their mother and sister respectively.
Lastly, though I'm okay with the other picks, to keep you all informed, Taiyang and Glynda have the least amount of ideas, Winter has a good amount, but Qrow and Raven have the largest amount of ideas out of the group.
Chapter 1
Third Person POV
It had been 18 years since Violet Ambrose, formerly Potter, was placed in the world of Remnant. As Violet Potter, she lived in a world of magic and was a Citizen of the Magical Government of Britain. Of course after a long and trying seventeen years she finally learned that her world didn't really care about her and so with the gathered objects she had, her family's Invisibility Cloak, a Stone that called shades of the dead, and a wand crafted by Death himself, she summoned the force of nature and asked for one wish in exchange for his items. She wanted a new life.
Death was quick to inform her she could keep the Cloak and that in exchange for granting her wish he'd take the stone and the death of Tom Marvolo Riddle as repayment. After a small conversation in which Violet affirmed that this was her decision, Death informed her that he'd be giving the wand back in a new form, a more loyal form.
Confused Violet asked what the reason for this generosity was after all, he had no reason that she knew of for it. Death went on to say that a world exists where he acts as a God of Destruction and while his brother has a chosen champion, he wishes for one as well. Death asks Violet once more if this is what she wants and warns her, as his champion, she will need to be careful of the world around her, in case of dangers that would dislike his champion.
And here she was having been places as a 16-year-old in the world of Remnant and after 17 years she had finally met her the champion of her patron's brother. It was only now she decided it would be best to join him. This is what led to her coming to Beacon Academy. She would be a teacher and she liked that thought.
Today she would arrive and would have her first lesson as a Combat Instructor, the Deputy Headmistress having been the substitute until they had found another permanent teacher. In this case, her, and Violet found her mind wandering to students. That reminded her, though being a teacher was her dream job and meeting with her fellow champion was a great thing for her, but those were two of the three reasons she came to be a teacher at Beacon.
She shook the thought from her head, she had a class to teach. She waved a finger and a pen came to life and wrote on a sticky note,
Apologize again to Professor Ozpin for taking so long with the packing.
So, not having time to make her own breakfast, she made her way to the cafeteria, following the map she was given closely. Some of the older students looked at her curiously, but she gave them a warning stare as she made to sit down, the second years would be having her class today and she would remember faces if not names.
She was about to begin eating when she heard a pained shout,"Ow! That hurts!"
Violet stood, leaving her plate where it was and stalked over.
"What is your name young man?" Violet inquired stepping forward and prying his hands off the Faunus girl's ears with ease.
"Cardin Winchester." He stated, his eyes zeroing in on her and he immediately noticed the woman in front of him was not a student, nor was she a teacher he knew of. then it clicked, something the blonde teacher, Glynda Goodwitch had said,"After today I will be returning to focus on my work as Deputy Headmistress and you will have a new Combat Instructor, do be on your best behavior."
"Detention, and you have volunteered for a special demonstration next time you're in my class." She decided and turned to the rabbit Faunus.
"And you dear?" She asked kindly.
"Velvet Scarlatina." She answered.
"Well Miss Scarlatina, if you have need for anything let me know." Violet began, and upon seeing the camera at her side Violet continued,"and if you'd like I have quite a few beautiful photos and portraits if you want to see them."
With that she went back to her breakfast, though she sent Cardin one last blank look. As it turned out, Cardin had detention with Professor Oobleck as well. It would be a day or two before Violet had her first class with the first year students.
"Good morning everyone, for those that don't know me, I am your new Combat Instructor, Professor Violet Estelle Ambrose. Now, I will begin this class by saying now. I will not be tolerating any kind of bullying in my sight or in my classroom, I will however be teaching you several things. The first being merely a verbal bit of advise." Violet lectured.
"As Hunters and Huntresses, you will be guardians of those less mentally prepared than you, Grimm are creatures of negativity, beings who feed on sadness grief, and hatred. A wise man once said to survive in this world you need bravery, resourcefulness, and a heaping helping of allies. That is why, even after leaving this school, never forget those who have been by your side in this vocation. You never know when having friends will save your life and you will put that paper football up Mister Winchester." Eyes turned to Cardin as he did indeed have a paper football aimed at one person, the question now was how did the teacher know when she wasn't even looking at him. Of course Violet knew because she had placed little pockets of her semblance as surveillance in the classroom so that no one thought they could get to any mischief and expect her not to know about it.
The lesson went on as normal and Violet demonstrated the difference in their skill levels as a bit of incentive for them to reach the level of true Hunters and Huntresses. Of course Cardin was used as reference and despite not using her silver and purple weapon, which sat in sword form on her desk, she easily made him look like a child.
At the end of the class, Violet's eyes trailed on one student before she called out,"Mister Arc, please stay behind?"
The blonde blinked in confusion.
As soon as everyone had left Violet sighed,"Now, you seemed to be awfully distressed during my demonstration. Perhaps you feel inadequate due to a lack of skill or perhaps it is the lack of additions to your weapon. Whatever your reasons, you are free to tell me and I solemnly swear to keep it to myself, no matter what it is."
"Even if it breaks school rules or even laws?" Jaune Arc asked, surprised at this oath.
"Yes, even then. Besides if you got past Ozpin then you deserve a reward, or he might have just let it slide in that case, I have no reason to go against it at all." Violet informed.
"I faked my transcripts!" Jaune blurted, all the stress of doing such a thing that he hadn't gotten out while talking to his teammate Pyrrha instantly melted away and was replaced with relief.
"Oh? Ozpin definitely knows then." Violet stated offhandedly,"But, you don't need to worry. If you'd like, I can teach you swordsmanship, maybe I can help you with other things as well. Maybe I can help you with strategy tests."
"He already knows, then why hasn't he thrown me aside, I was told only the best of the best are allowed in?!" Jaune questioned surprised and also a quite a bit worried.
Violet giggled at his shock,"Mr. Arc, the best don't always have grades or fancy papers saying that they are better than others. While some people become great through taking the slow path, others become great by having greatness thrust upon them. Take Miss Rose for example, she came to Beacon ahead of time because Ozpin saw potential, perhaps you have similar potential. Anyways, I will help you where I can and in return you can help me with something. I warn you though, if you tell anyone what I'm about to tell you without my permission, there will be consequences, major consequences."
Jaune gulped but nodded.
Over time days went by with a somewhat normal atmosphere and Jaune came to Violet for his lessons in swordsmanship and strategy. For swordsmanship, Jaune learned that Violet Estelle Ambrose took a school of hard knocks approach and would attack him and when he made a mistake she would scold him as she hit whatever weak point she was scolding. He also learned that games like chess, Remnant: The Game, and several others were some of the basic ways of helping people with strategy. By far the best part of his private lessons with his Combat Instructor was her stories as the reluctant leader of her own team in Mistral's Haven Academy. She'd been placed as leader and had to reign in her team's more negative attributes and it was hard on her because that team was unstable when put together. She admitted that he had it better since his team were quite a good fit together.
That's the first chapter, I'm already starting to work on it so if work doesn't get in the way too much, you'll get that soon. I'm also planning on another challenge from Whitetigerwolf involving the Founders and Harry so if you'd like to see that let me know and I'll mention it later on.
