Ruby Rose did not expect this. At all. She knew a new student was going to stay with her and team RWBY for the rest of the school year, but the student was far more of what Headmaster Ozpin told them a month ago. Ruby and her team had been told that a new student would staying at their dorm. Apparently, she had proven such excessive skill way beyond common knowledge and was offered a spot at the prestigious academy.
Since the teams had already been chosen, the late First-Year pupil had needed a team. Headmaster Ozpin had thought that team RWBY would be the best to get them settled in. They gladly accepted. Weiss because she was hoping that her team could have better grades and improve if the student was as great as Ozpin had described them. Yang because she was excited to battle the new student, and also thought Ruby could use more friends. And Blake, who just hoped the student liked books.
Ruby was excited to meet the new student, too. Mostly to meet their weapon. Though Ruby did admit that she was a bit socially awkward (okay, maybe a lot), she still thought a new friend couldn't be that bad, right?
Ruby was extremely mistaken.
Ruby assumed (based on Ozpin's brief description) that this student was about as normal as one could get. But the 16 year old in front of Ruby said otherwise.
There stood a girl with gently flowing dark purple hair loosely tied into a ponytail. When she turned around, Ruby was able to see that her eyes were a peach color. She had a dark green bow with black ruffles on her head. She was wearing what looked like her normal uniform. It was a magenta colored dress that went down to above her knees, with a black frill on the bottom. She had two pockets on both of her upper sides of her chest, along with a gold badge that Ruby could not see very well. The girl was also wearing a black tie around her neck. There was a dark jade green belt with a gold buckle. Golden hand cuffs were hanging off her belt. She was also wearing dark jade green boots that matched her belt.
Ruby only could stare intently with awe at the girl.
She offered a shy smile and said, "H-hi. M-my name i-is Ella Elbaite*." She offered her hand out, but I guess I was too nervous to move because Yang moved forward and shook it.
"Hiya Ella! I'm Yang. That's Ruby, my sister, and leader of team RWBY," I smiled and gave a nervous wave, "Blake, my partner," Blake nodded, "and Weiss, Ruby's partner." Weiss looked like she was lost in thought for a second until she snapped back into reality.
"Hi!" Weiss said.
"So, team Ruby, an extra bed has bed delivered and moved into your dorm. Ruby, will you show Ella around?" Headmaster Ozpin asked Ruby.
"Sure!" Ruby said.
"Alright then, it's all settled. I have some matters to attend to, so please, take care, everyone," Headmaster Ozpin said, and walked back to his office.
Everyone sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few seconds, until Ruby said, "So ready for a tour?"
Hi everyone! This is kind of my first fanfics. I had written another one on another account ago, but I'm here now! I hope you like this story. I will publish at least twice a week and see where this goes. But that's all for know!
*Elbaite is the most well-known and valuable form of Tourmaline. It's also a jewel like Rubys ;)
