I do not own RWBY or any of the characters that share names with actual RWBY Characters. I just write as a hobby and I do not take any credit for any of this.
That being said, I would like to thank you for choosing to pick up and read this fic.
The story behind this story is that I've watched RWBY for about 2 years now and I liked the show. Following that, I let my two younger siblings watch the show a year later and they liked it too. So while we patiently wait for Volume 6, they asked me if I could make up a story before bedtime about the RWBY universe. I said "sure, why not."
The fic that you're about to read is thanks to my two siblings because they helped me make the characters and they also told me how they would react. We're actually like 4 chapters in for these sessions of "bedtime stories," until one day, they decided to ask me to post it here to share it to the internet. I wrote this story with their help, and I dedicate this story to them, my proudest of supporters.
To minimise the need for multiple author's notes, I would just like to say that for every chapter you read, I thank you for choosing this story and I hope you enjoy :)
Any feedback you are willing to provide, be it good or bad, I will be reading it. Oh, and idk how long I'll be writing this story since I only write when I have free time.
The characters below are a mix of some of my ideas and theirs.
Clair
Age: 16
Fun loving. Competitive. Caring.
The one who is easily jealous.
Contrary to popular belief, she actually likes to annoy people.
She has never cooked in her life
How would she solve a problem: with the help of her friends
Her thoughts of her Teammates:
Roberto: "He's actually not so bad. He's just the kind of loud mouth that every group needs. Some may find it too much, but I think it's juuuuuust the right amount of loud. He doesn't know much about Haven though. One time, he tried to buy food on his own and brought home a cow! He named the cow Isabelle, and promised to take care of her so that we will get the finest of milk every morning. Too bad we had to return the cow back."
Yvonne: "She's the sweetest girl in the world! Absolutely a precious gem that's worth protecting! She may seem like she doesn't need help, but come on! If you see her struggling to get something high on a shelf, you are just COMPELLED to help her because she looks so helpless. She won't say thanks outright, but she'll remember it and thank you some other way in the future.
Sigmund: "He's 100% a jerk. Absolutely the worst person to be with at any time of the day. We've been together since we were kids and he's just so lazy to do things. Plus, since he lost his sight, I've been helping him as his guide nonstop 24/7. That walking stick of his isn't enough to guide him. He's pretty much trash if you ask me. Nothing good comes out of him... But, since I'm a concerned citizen who cares about the environment, it's my duty to pick him up... He's always been there for me before, so I guess it's my turn to be there for him now... Not like he needs me or anything..."
Can you describe your semblance?
"It's a secret! I promised Sigmund that I wouldn't tell anyone. Pinky promise!"
Roberto
Age: 17
Loud. Proud. Ignorant.
The one who keeps everyone alert.
Contrary to popular belief, he actually lost his voice once... after trying to talk to a deaf person.
He has never kept things to himself.
How would he solve a problem: head on.
His thoughts of his Teammates:
Clair: "Ah yes, she is a fair maiden who never fails to keep our hearts warm with her deeds. Roberrrrto thinks that she is like the mother of the group and that is needed because without her, nobody will know where we put things! Roberrrto wishes to understand why her kindness knows no bounds, but I feel like that is something that I can only ask Sigmund for answers. One thing is for sure though, she has many secrets... Trust me, I've already asked a thousand times!"
Yvonne: "Who's a cute little girl? Yvonne is! She's like a little sister to me. Emphasis on little. I remember the first time I met her and called her short. Hahaha, I flew like an eagle! And then she caught me in her tiny arms. It may seem like I like to make fun of her, which is quite frequent by the way, but it's also because it's so fun! Plus, she's always catching whoever she throws! Well, not every time. More like, every other time. I do recommend the "Short" ride to anyone who meets her for the first time. You can see the entire city from that view in the sky!"
Sigmund: "He is my ally. My comrade. My friend. Even if he denies it. Roberrrto knows that us grown men should stick together and protect the damsels in distress! With nothing but our vim and vigour, we shall triumph over our enemies and face tomorrow with bright smiles! At least, that is what Roberrrto wishes. Sigmund doesn't want to actively pursue adventure, at least not like I do. As his comrade, I respect his decision. I still wish he would give Roberrrto the high five he deserves."
Can you describe your semblance?
"Roberto can create a large burst of light that can blind his enemies temporarily. Back in my home country, they would call me as the "Burning Sunrise" because my semblance matches my passion! Roberto can also absorb the light within a room to create darkness, but absorbing too much light is very stressful and I can pass out. My comrades call my semblance a 'flashbang'. I do not get it. It has no 'bang,' just 'flash.' So I suggested to call it flash, but then they laughed, and said that it's not appropriate. Till this day, I do not know why..."
Yvonne
Age: Claims she's 16
Height: 4"9
Short tempered. Adorable. Confident.
The one who everybody listens to.
Contrary to popular belief, she likes head pats.
She has never asked anyone for help to reach something.
How would she solve a problem: if it's within her grasp, by herself, if not, she'll stare at it until somebody eventually offers to help.
Her thoughts of her Teammates:
Clair: "She's the only one I can relate to. Maybe it's because she's also a girl, but it's sad whenever she has to help Sigmund since she'll be pretty much occupied, and I'm left to deal with the loud mouth. But whenever I feel sad or in need of someone to talk to, she just KNOWS and is suddenly right by my side. She actually ditched her blind brother to spend some time with me, and that's heartwarming. Oh, and I don't believe that those two are actually brother and sister. Have you SEEN them together? Literal ice start melting when those to act all cute because it's so UN-sibling like."
Roberto: Stop. He's actually the most useless person in the team. You have to convince me that he's actually a contributing member to society to make me even CONSIDER him worth keeping. I've actually thrown him up in the air at least a dozen times by now because he keeps making fun of my... figure. I normally catch people I toss in the air, but I've actually left him in Clair or Sigmund's hands a couple of times because I couldn't be bothered to catch him. It pissed me off before, but I'm not too mad about it much. Oh, I'll still get mad, don't think this changes things, but he is the one who pays for our bills, so it's best not to injure the team's "bank".
Sigmund: "I know that everyone thinks he's a jerk, and even Clair does too, but he's not so bad once he opens up to you. I guarantee you that he'll at least say three sentences in a conversation once he opens up to you. First impressions do count though. He's very critical and evaluates you upon first contact. He's blind, so all he has to help him understand a person is through his other senses. If you shake his hand and you don't shake properly, instant judgement. If you smell weird, instant judgement. If you give him something he likes? You get plus points in his book. What does he like? I honestly don't know... He's very hard to read. Probably because of that blindfold."
Can you describe your semblance?
"I can change the mass of any object I come in contact with. Even myself. Yep. Preeeeeeeetty powerful. Not sure about the physics side of life, but if I throw a card at you, I can change it's weight so that it will feel like I'm throwing a needle. When it just leaves my fingertips, I change it to weigh like a truck. If what this school teaches me is correct, and if force does equal mass multiplied by acceleration, then that card's heading towards you with the weight of a truck, but with the acceleration of somebody throwing a needle at you. Boom. Takes a lot of concentration though. Last time I misfired, I almost killed Roberto... accidentally of course."
Sigmund
Age: 17
Hair: Short Black.
Quiet. Reserved. Reluctant
The one who's always serious. Nobody knows if he's not serious
Contrary to popular belief, he does actually want to pay attention to conversations.
He has never lost a fight.
How would he solve a problem: complaining about it at the start, and then logically at the end.
His thoughts of his Teammates:
Clair: "Don't be fooled. She's craaaaaazy. Well, she annoys me a lot. But I gotta admit, she's very sweet and kind. Too much. I don't really deserve it all. Also, if she ever tells you that she always beats me in anything, she's right. Don't question it.
Roberto: "If I was the last man on earth, and I hear a knock on my door, I would just attempt to kill myself because after that knock, I'm 100% sure it'll follow with a loud 'RRROBERRRRRRRRRRTO!' The guy is literally unkillable. Trust me. I've tried. WE have tried. But, I gotta give him credit, he's sort of the one who keeps things... not boring. But at what cost?!"
Yvonne: "She's actually adorable. No. Really. It's very humorous to know that she reacts to her height that way. I mean, assuming you can survive the aftermath, that face she makes when she's annoyed? Worth it. I can guarantee you, if I was able to survive her outbursts all the time, I would always pick on her. It's just too easy."
Can you describe your semblance?
"I'm blind. Enough said."
