Basically it's based on articuno2011's idea of an opposite RWBY AU where Ruby was based off a Sapphire instead of a Ruby and there was a small amount of discussion about it.
So as I said I've reversed pretty much all of Team RWBY's colours and personalities to the best of my abilities, giving them matching names based off the opposites of their original names.
So we have:
Sapphire Aster (Ruby Rose) (An Aster is a blue flower and I thought it sounded really nice)
Yin Brevis (Yang Xiao Long) (Because of Yin/Yang) (Brevis is Latin for "small"),
Hikari Sundara (Blake Belladonna) (Hikari is Japanese for Light) (Sundara is Hindi for beautiful),
Nalupu Sneachta (Weiss Schnee) (Nalupu=Black in Tengu, Sneachta=Snow in Irish Gaelic).
I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but it's mostly a test to see how much interest this gets.
Later chapters will be longer.
I intend to keep this updated in step with the series.
Sapphire gazed out the window of the airship as it flew closer to what would soon become her home for the next four years. Beacon was massive, even from a distance. Majestic, her sister had said. She supposed the word fit. Not that it mattered overly much what adjective she sued to describe it; what mattered was what it could teach her about being a Huntress.
"So… Beacon..." Yin said, coming up beside her.
"Beacon." Echoed her sister.
"It's huge…"
"It is."
"So… New school, no old friends, how are you so calm Saph?"
"What would be the use of fretting?"
"Heh… You have a point but still, nothing? I'm terrified and I wasn't fast tracked by two whole years!" Sapphire smiled softly at this.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"Hehe! Thanks Sis…"
The arrival of the airship at Beacon was rather uneventful, save for one boy throwing up the second he was back on land, and Sapphire's eyes were drawn to a train of carts stacked high with suitcases, each marked with a black snowflake.
Eyebrow raised, she walked over. Was that a train of dust? Out in the open? Where just anyone could-
"WAHH PLEASESTANDAWAYFROM oof!" Sapphire had barely enough time to turn before she was blowed over by a flash of black hair and dark skin, right into the dust containers. Groaning, Sapphire rolled onto her back, getting a good look at her attacker.
"OhmygodIamsosorry!" Slightly smaller than Sapphire, the girl who kneeled over her, offering her hand, had chocolate brown skin, deep black hair bundled up in a ponytail that spilled over her right shoulder, and was dressed in a purple and black combat skirt. She was, Sapphire was surprised to notice, actually kinda cute. Accepting the offered hand, Sapphire hauled was hauled to her feet, staring quizzically at the girl.
"AreyouokayIamsosorrywecouldhaveexplodedthosearefullofdustIamsosorryohmygodyou'renottalkingyou'reangrywithmearen'tyou!"
"What? No, no, I'm not angry." Shaking her head quickly to clear it, Sapphire rested her hand on the panicking girls shoulder. "And please talk a little slower, I'm having a little trouble understanding you. I think I hit my head…"
"Right, sorry!" The girl thrust out her hand. "I'm Nalupu! Nalupu Sneachta!"
"Heiress to the Sneachta Dust company? I thought you'd be… slightly more coordinated. I'm Sapphire. Sapphire Aster. And that's my sister, Yin." Sapphire nodded to the large pink-haired girl standing awkwardly off to the side. She'd come running when she'd heard the crash, but was too awkward to interrupt the conversation. Smiling weakly, she raised an arm to wave. Gasping excitedly, Nalupu dashed off to drag her over to her sister.
"So… Hi… I'm Yin."
"I'm Nalupu! You're Sapphires sister? It's so good to meet you! Now we can all be best friends!"
"Hrmm." Sapphire raised an eyebrow. The dark girl was clumsy and overenthusiastic, a potential hazard on a team. Yet, despite herself, Sapphire liked her. She held out her hand. "Yeah, why not?" Her face split by a massive grin, Nalupu threw her arms around Sapphire in a tight hug, spinning her around.
"Thank you thank you thank you! You won't regret this!"
