Hello everyone, this is rosewatcher and thank you for considering reading this fic. This is my very first one, so I'm not sure how it will turn out. Could turn out pretty good or pretty bad. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. I thought of doing something different for my first story, since there's a lot of other stories involving the main RWBY characters, I decided to write a story about a character that we don't see too often: Summer Rose. Mother of Ruby Rose who also like to wear a cloak (which I think is cool), and someone who I think don't get talked about too much. This story is about what I think she could be like if a story was about her, her time as a huntress and the events that would lead to volume 1 of RWBY. Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY or its characters. They're properties of Roosterteeth and the great Monty Oum. Anyway, enough talking on my end. Hope you enjoy this story.
As Ruby look out from the airship she was riding along with her sister Yang and many other people, she saw the place that will become her new home for the next four years: Beacon Academy. As they got closer the academy, she and her sister notice a blonde boy who looks a little under the weather; minutes later, he ran past them and threw up on the nearest trash can. "I guess some people can't handle the excitement." Said Yang as he watches the boy throw up. After being grossed out, Ruby thought to herself 'I wonder what kind of people I'll meet; I hope they're better than vomit boy over here.'
As she was lost in her own thoughts, her sister poke at her shoulder, letting her know that the airship was about to land. She acknowledge her and was ready to get off. Once she steps out off of the ship, she looked up to the sky with one last thought, 'Mom, I hope you're watching over me. I want to make you proud.' With a smile on her face, she walked towards her sister as she begins her life at Beacon Academy.
20 years earlier.
Among the 4 kingdoms of Remnant, there lies the kingdom of Vytal; within lies the city Vale. It was experiencing turmoil and hardship as its residents was struggling to keep its peace it worked so hard for. An increased of Grimm sighting threatening the safety of those around them, shortage of dust and the ever-growing conflict between humans and the Faunus. The fight against the Grimm along with the war raging against humans and Faunus could bring Vale, as well as the people, back into darkness. The hunters then did whatever they can to help keep up the peace, but it looked like it wasn't going to end any time soon.
There been a decline of hunters and huntresses as of late. Many fallen in battle, others calling it quits as they begin to lost hope in their constant struggle to fend off the Grimm. However rumors starting to spread of a huntress that seemingly appearing out of nowhere and slaying large numbers of Grimm throughout Vale. Some spectacle that she was part of a group of highly skilled hunters that though have died off a long time ago, others claim she seem like a phantom of some kind; a being not of this world seeking to rid the world of Grimm, seeing how no one has caught a glimpse of her as she would just disappear leaving only many slain Grimm and rose petals in her path. They may not know who she really is, but they agree on one thing, she possessed incredible strength and skill as she could take out an entire pack of beowolves without breaking a sweat.
Just outside the city limits lies the Emerald Forest, known for the training grounds of future hunters/huntresses, and the ever constant threat of Grimm. Among one of many tree tops, a woman wearing a red cloak, spotted a group of hunters wandering through the forest. Not too far from the group, a pack of beowolves closes in on the hunters; ready to strike at them at any given moment. The woman stood from her spot, all the while taking a bite of her chocolate chip cookie, mutters to herself, "This should be fun, I can't wait! Time to play with my dance partners again." With a small grin on her face, she fades out of existence; leaving behind hundreds of rose petals. The hunt was on.
Thanks again for reading my first piece! I hope it wasn't too boring, seeing how it wasn't too much dialogue at first, but the story should pick up in the upcoming chapters. Expect some more action as she prepares to fight off of some Grimm. Leave a comment and a review, tell me what you think of the story so far, I greatly appreciate any form of praise or criticism as it'll help me improve this story. I apologize if this story sucks, still learning as I go. I'll do what I can to make this as interesting as I can, hope for the best. Hope everyone have a great day and see you next time.
