Ruby Ann Schnee

A beautiful sunrise descended upon the Schnee mansion as a soft yawn from a girl spread through the room.

The girl had coffee brown skin, Icy blue eyes, hair as black as night and a cute button nose.

'Miss Schnee, It's time to wake up!" A maid informed from afar as she opened up the curtains.

The maid was a wallaby faunus, with creamy white skin, creamy brown eyes and grey white hair in a bun.

'Ah,...Th-Thank you, Mabel," Ruby yawned.

Ruby rubbed her eyes and hopped out of bed.

'Just doing my job, Miss Schnee," The faunus maid replied.

'Well, Maybe it should be rewarded," Ruby said smiling.

'Uh, W-Wha? Miss Schnee, I'm only doing my jo-..." The maid was cut off when Ruby grabbed her hand ,her hair becoming a bright yellow and her eyes yellow as well, and utilized her speed glyphs to rush them to her personal restroom.

'Stay here," Ruby giggled.

'But Miss Schnee, I -...Uh!?" The faunus maid questioned.

She saw a gravity glyph holding her in place and sighed.

'Miss Schnee not taking "No" for an answer?" A familiar voice asked.

It was Glynda Goodwitch she had kept her usual bun but her hair had grown underneath her bun, she was a middle-aged woman who had developed a couple of wrinkles on her face, she had a scar on her left cheek from an incident that occurred almost a decade ago and she was dressed in a purple nightgown.

'She really tries to show her appreciation" The faunus maid sighed.

'If only there was a way I could show her mine," Glynda admitted.

Ruby had been her caretaker and companion ever since that fight she had with that mysterious young lady...That young lady had beaten her up badly and broken a couple of her bones, but Weiss intervened and...put the young lady in her place, but Ruby, When she felt helpless, she helped her feel useful and happy again, she was the only person in the world who could make her laugh or smile.

'I'm sure you'll find a way, Miss Goodwitch" The faunus maid consoled.

A mouse faunus maid suddenly ran out of the restroom whimpering.

'Huh?" Both women questioned.

'I wonder what that was about," The Faunus maid asked.

'Nina, come back!" Ruby Implored while running after her in her icy blue robe, her hair now blue and her eyes a darker shade of blue.

Ruby finally caught up with the mouse faunus maid and made a gravity glyph to hold her still.

'Nina, It's okay" Ruby eased as she hugged the mouse faunus maid by her waist.

'B-But I messed up your gorgeous hair,and all because of my stupid, stupid phobias a cat faunus!" Nina quivered.

Ruby sighed and walked in front of her, she gently grabbed her hands

'It's okay, everybody makes mistakes," Ruby consoled.

'B-But your father, he-... he'll fire me! and I need this job! I have 7 kids and disabled husband who ca-..." Nina quivered.

'You're NOT getting fired! and I'll personally see to it that you don't! stay here! I need to make some changes to the staff!" Ruby informed, her hair and eyes now red.

Glynda and Mabel saw Ruby with a comb still in her hair.

'Dina, I am afraid I'll have to send you to kitchen duty! this sacred ritual that requires my hair to be detangled simply can NOT function with you scaring poor Miss Nina to death!" Ruby demanded.

'But Miss Ssschnee!" Dina protested.

'You're going to kitchen duty and that's that! end of discussion! Ulanda?" Ruby confirmed.

'Oh, Ulanda going to enjoy this," Ulanda purred as she cracked her knuckles.

Ulanda literally threw Dina out of the personal restroom.

'Off to kitchen duty you go," Glynda sighed using her cane to attach the end of it to her collar and drag her to the kitchen downstairs.

'See you later, miss Goodwitch!" Mabel chuckled.

'You too, Mabel" Glynda replied smiling.

'Nina, you have nothing to worry about now, it's safe to come in," Ruby assured as her eyes and hair going back to it's normal black and her eyes back to being icy blue.

'R-Really?" Nina questioned.

'Yes, I moved Dina to kitchen duty," answered Ruby as she make the gravity Glyph disappear.

Ruby led Nina back into the restroom and then minutes later came out with Her hair as smooth as silk.

'Thank you, Ladies!" Ruby giggled.

'Just doing our jobs Miss Schnee!" The hair staff shouted.

'I'll see to it that you have a delicious breakfast in the SQ!" Ruby shouted with gratitude.

Ruby then put on her daily outfit, and led her to an empty seat at the breakfast table

'Good Morning, Sisters!" Ruby greeted.

'Morning girl!" Her 2nd oldest sister Valery replied.

'Morning Little Sister," Her oldest sister Sapphire calmly replied.

'Good Morning, Little sister! Love you!" Her older sister Mary beamed.

'Morning big sis!" Lexi beamed.

'Morning sister...," Her little brother Otis snickered.

'Morning Mother!" The Schnee siblings greeted as their mother came into the room.

Weiss had taken her company back from sinister little brother 2 decades ago and had promised to pay the faunus twice, if not thrice what they were paid before, Whitely, The failed heir, and her father were NOT happy but she didn't give a flying hoot!

'Morning, my darlings," Weiss rejoiced.

They then heard familiar dark footsteps.

'Ugh, here comes the Ice King..." Valery grumbled.

'I suggest the false smiles are necessary, miss Schnee(s)..." Georga sarcastically but calmly suggested.

Georgia had charcoal colored freckles, Very dark brown coffee colored skin, White eyes, and black hair that was 2 inches from being shoulder length, she wore a black suit and tie, with a white shirt underneath.

'No, not for me Georga,but thanks for suggesting," Weiss Sighed.

The Schnee siblings put up a happy front for their,less than kind father, he had light, creamy brown skin, dark brown eyes, who wore a red business suit, with pink underneath, he also had coffee brown hair that was in an upside down bun.

'Greetings children..." Jordan flatly greeted.

'Greetings father," The Schnee siblings replied in a monotone voice.

The siblings and their mother started on their breakfast was as always crepes, soup and sausage.

'Girls I just got 50,000 subscribers on DustTube!" Valery almost squealed.

The siblings excluding Otis squealed with excitement.

'Congratulations, Val!" Ruby and Lexi beamed.

'That's great, Valery!" Mary shouted.

'Congratulations, Dear sister," her older sister Sapphire replied.

Sapphire had silky blue curly hair with bangs that covered half her face, pale white skin,who wore a sapphire blue floor-length dress with pale blue rounded, puffy sleeves,a light blue top and a pale blue also wears white elbow-length evening gloves. Sapphire had feet that were usually hidden by her dress.

As Ruby was crunching on her crepes and the other Schnee siblings were wiping crumbs of their breakfast off their faces they heard someone yelling.

'But You've gotta believe me!" A teen shouted.

'Not this nuisance again!" Jordan groaned.

'Sorry young man, but we can't let you in," An Atlas Guard shouted.

'Ironwood has become an even bigger tyrant than before!" The young man shouted.

'Yeah, And I'm Cleopatra," The guard scoffed sarcasm dripping from every word.

Ruby gasped.

'Aris..." Ruby muttered as she emerged from her chair and sprinted to the door. 'Let him in! He's a friend of mine!"

'But Princess! The boy's nuts! A Loony bat!" The guard proclaimed. 'Ironwood has been redeemed as military leader!"

'I SAID Let him in!" Ruby commanded.

The guard groaned and muttered angrily under his breath and reluctantly let him in.

'Princess, I'm sorry I interrupted your breakfast but I-...Ironwood, He's...H-..." Aris rambled before he was cut off by a warm embrace.

'Breath Aris, Breath" Ruby sighed.

Aris took a deep breath.

'Why don't we talk in the gardens?" Ruby suggested.

'Sure, I guess the smell of flowers will calm me down" Aris complied.

Ruby giggled and led him to the garden, Ruby then spotted her grandmother, Snowflake.

Her grandmother had a hood over her face and cloak over her body. Ruby sighed, walked over to her, put her hand on her chest and listened.

She felt and heard her heart pounding against her chest.

'Good, She's still breathing," Ruby sighed with relief.

'Why does she have a cloak over her body?" Aris asked.

'I put it on her when I was 8 to protect her from the harsh temperatures of Atlas, And...to show her that there's atleast one person who still cares," Ruby sighed.

'Atlas's sweetheart," Aris chuckled.

'Oh stop," Ruby started to blush. 'I couldn't let her feel lonely and forgotten," She replied.

'So," Ruby sat on the bench and notioned for Aris to sit beside her. 'How bad has it become?"

Aris sat beside her.

'He's been trying to close the boarders again...And no matter how many times I try to convince him he-..." Aris answered before he was cut off by an explosion.

''Aris...Please tell me that was one of your science projects gone wrong!" Ruby nervously stammered with fear.

'N-...Nope, None of my projects are that explosive!" Aris stuttered with fear.

'But we are-..." A young woman intervened.

A young woman with rich, creamy white skin, crispy orange eyes, with blonde hair in a braid. she wore a silky dark pink dress.

'Uh...Is she a friend of yours? because I don't remember meeting her, And I've been with you since the first grade!" Aris nervously asked.

'Rhea's the name, You may remember me because I'm a recent addition," Said the young woman in a flirtatious tone.'And so is she"

Rhea pointed to a woman that had pale blue skin, blue Mohawk in the middle of her head but the rest of her hair being greenish blue, she wore v-neck tank top dress, that was with toes pale green socks, she had find on her arms and on the back of her calves too.

'I...I don't remember meeting you..." Ruby stuttered.

'Oh don't worry my little gem...It'll come back to you...When I KNOCK YOU OUT!" Rhea snickered.

'No!" Aris shouted while sprinting infront of Ruby.

Rhea was about to kick Ruby in the head but in the knick of time kicked Aris instead.

'No! Aris!" Ruby cried.

'Ha-has anybody seen my...Flying raccoon? Fe-Febwee?" Aris deliriously asked before he passed out.

'Woah!" Ruby yelped before she caught him.

'Aris, Aris! Wake up! please!" Ruby begged.

'Aww,Don't worry my little gem, He'll be fine, the little nerd should wake up in half an hour," Rhea snickered.

'Who are you!? Leave him alone! Why are you doing this!?" Ruby desperately asked.

'What I did to the little nerd, is a footnote, compared to what I'm going to do to you," Rhea replied.

Ruby whimpered and activated her semblance before a bubbled barricade that surrounded and her and Aris.

'Don't get near him!" Ruby desperately cried.

''You heard the Princess" A male voice boomed throughout the fog.

'No...it can be!" The fish faunus lady and Rhea growled.

He had orange hair, with orange tiger ears, and tiger tale, he had on an all black outfit with black boots.

He took out a staff with two daggers on each end.

'OVER MY DEAD BODY are you getting to them!" The Tiger faunus growled.

'THAT can be arranged Vepkhia!" Rhea shouted in frustration.

She wore earrings, she took them off and summoned two ice swords and lunged towards the Tiger Faunus, he bashed her in the face, she then proceeded to to aim for his side and connected, he briefly hissed in pain but then jolted her stomach, she grunted in pain, he then striked her face and sent her an uppercut.

with half her aura still intact she managed to kick him into the wall.

'Oh no!" Ruby shouted as she slowly laid Aris and sprinted towards the tiger faunus.

She utilized her semblance to slow his fall and caught him bridal ran towards Aris and yelped when Rhea practically teleported infront of her face.

'He's been a thorn in my side...Ever since...We were kids, He needs to die!" Rhea hyperventilated with anger as she extended the point of her ice sword 2 inches from his neck.

'No! Noone here needs to die! Ruby shouted wile slamming her fist to the ground.

A mini dome formed around Ruby, Aris, and the Tiger faunus cackled as the dome and the three young teens disappeared.

Aris eventually woke up.

'Aris! I'm so glad you're okay!" Ruby sighed with relief. 'Wait, Are you sure you're okay?"

'Yes, Princess, I'm fine," Aris chuckled.

'I just hope that he'll be okay..." Ruby sighed as she finally, firmly grabbed the the tiger faunus's shoulder. 'Wake up, hey, you okay?" Ruby urged.

'mmmmghh..." He mumbled groggily.

'He's waking up!" Aris stated.

Ruby softly gasped.

'Hey, you okay?" Ruby asked with concern.

'H-...Hey, Aren't I supposed to be protecting you...?" He joked.

Ruby giggled.

'I'm just glad you're okay, ya big lug!" Ruby beamed while holding him.

'Princess, this isn't going to be easy to hear...but...but the...the-..." He started.

'Their after me...but I don't know why..." Ruby sighed in a stressful tone.
