The world of Remnant; a world steeped in history and mystery. The people of remnant, both human and fanus, have come a long way and greatly evolved of many thousands of years. This world is filled with magic and mythology but as time moved forward much of this made way for science and technology to take its place. Yet, for all of this movement forward as progress there are still things that cannot be explained and things that would never be accepted by the populace.

As time moves forward facts of history seem to get lost and become fanciful memories of older generations. What many call stories. Stories about the ancient kingdoms of the world and how they came to be. Stories about wars that were fought over time, about how the world was formed, where the monsters came from. All of these stories had to start somewhere and start with some basis. And as stories go, over time they would be told and retold and they would grow and grow and become great fantastical tales to be told to children as they grew up. But, who doesn't love a good story. Everybody loves fairy tales.

And many children of this generation are no different. One special child particularly loved fairy tales. This little silver eyed, dark red-haired girl with really red tips, Ruby Rose, loved to be told stories from a very young age. She could remember her family telling her these stories from when she was a young girl until she was old enough to recite the stories herself. But she still loved to hear them from her family because it made them all the more special.

You see Ruby came from a very special family. Her family all were hunters and huntresses. In fact the entire family were all on the same team that was formed at Beacon academy, one of the schools in Remnant, to train hunters and huntresses. Why was that important? You see, many of the stories Ruby had loved the best were about these people that had a sole purpose to be heroes and protect all the inhabitants of Remnant. And her family was made up of these heroes, she loved them dearly and looked up to them and one day she would be one of these heroes and protect the world of Remnant and all the inhabitants. But her family was by no means perfect, and stories were what held it together to Ruby.

Her father, Tai Yang Xiao Long, would tell her about how the kingdoms of Remnant came to be, the problems that drove the kingdoms to fight each other in the Great War. He also told her stories about the great king of Vale, who ended the Great War and brought unity to the kingdoms of Remnant. Her mother, Summer Rose, would tell her stories about how the seasons came to be, and about the for maidens keepers of the seasons. She would also share the stories of mystical magic and the man who had two souls. She also shared stories of love and what that meant to the world. Her Uncle, Qrow Branwean, would tell her stories about the creatures of Grimm and how they came to be. He also would tell Ruby about the brother gods who created all of the world around them. Ruby really loved to hear these stories and the stories they would all tell her about the great exploits of the hunters and huntresses, they would even tell her stories of some of their own.

But as was mentioned Ruby's family was not the storybook family that most would want. Ruby has an older sister, Yang Xiao Long, which she loves dearly and looks up to. Yang's mother, Raven Branwean, was Tai's first love. She left Yang and Tia shortly after Yang was born. Tia took it very hard, weather it was because Raven no longer loved him, couldn't deal with being a mother or for whatever reason, she left Tia broken hearted. If it hadn't been for Qrow and Summer being there and helping who knows what would have happened.

But as time went on Summer and Tai fell in love and Ruby came along not long after that. Summer was a great help and mother to the girls and Yang loved Summer as much or more than her own mother, and she loved Ruby so much that she felt that no one would ever hurt her sister, EVER. And this was important to Ruby as this was when she started hearing the stories. She could remember Yang and her sitting on their beds as someone would tell them of the great feats of whatever story was being told, and thinking one day this will be me,

But as things went along fine one day Summer left for a short mission, but never returned. Ruby would go to the door every day and wait because she knew that her mom was coming home soon. But after a few days someone came to the door and spoke with Tai and Qrow. But as the girls looked on Yang knew that something was gravely wrong, Tai Yang Xiao Long was a strong man, but whatever the news was that he just received struck him down as if he was a paper doll. Qrow helped Tai to his room and let him fall to pieces, away from the girls. You see the news that was delivered was that something had happened on her mission and…. Summer was dead. Qrow tried to shield the girls from this fact as much as could be done. Yang understood as best a young girl could, but Ruby wasn't sure what all was going on but understood that her mom wasn't going to be home ever. But Ruby went on, and even tough things had changed she was still told the stories that she loved so much.

As things went on Tai just fell apart and Yang tried to pick up the pieces as best she could. Qrow was there to watch over the girls just as he had promised Tai and Summer, even when he had to leave he made sure to check in and make sure that all was going as best it could. And still the thing that never changed was that the stories were still told. Yang made sure that Ruby had as normal a life as she could and she told Ruby the stories. To ruby this became a salve to problems and a steadying force to her life, and Yang made sure that she soothed Ruby as much as possible.

As time went on Ruby continued to listened and would tell the stories to everyone that would listen, with one exception to the stories, she was going to be one of these heroes! With this proclamation she stove to be the best she could. Even though she wasn't the strongest or the smartest she worked harder and studied harder than anyone so that she could achieve her dream! As her life came to some resemblance of normal Tai would teach her and Yang at Signal academy, their school. Qrow taught Ruby how to work and fight with one of the deadliest and most uncommon weapons a hunter or huntress could use, the scythe. All of this hard work and study had worked out for the best for Ruby and everyone was proud of her.

One night when she was in town at the local dust shop a unique event happened. The place was being robbed while she was in it. Well it was trying to be robbed…. But Ruby sort of changed the peoples mind. And she ran into a real Huntress who helped end the robbery. Then she was introduced to none other than the headmaster of Beacon Academy, who took notice of her special traits and extended an offer to join the academy…two years early. She knew at that point that her dream of becoming one of the heroes of her childhood stories was well on its way. She was now living her own fairy tale.
