He'd also has comedic moments when attempting a few shenanigans and has a deep phobia for creatures with stingers for a Death Stalker killed his birth parents and nearly him.
History: Born on Menagerie after moving from Argus while both graduated from Atlas academy, Bloo's parents Duke and Celeste Grijalee were close friends with Ghria and Kali Belladonna. Sadly however... The Grijalee's home was attacked and destroyed a Death Stalker Grimm, only Bloo survived the attack at a very young age. The Belladonnas soon decided to foster and adopt Bloo as their son, with Blake Belladonna now as his older sister.
Bloo was consider very popular in Menagerie, and easily made friends with almost everyone and quickly made friends. He was taught by Ghira, training as an Menagerie guard, and about how the humans have tend to the faunus rather poorly, but that he should not treat them as such in return, for they both believe that humans and faunus could live together in harmony. Bloo never was that interested in joining the White Fang, especially when they've now used violence upon the humans, making things more difficult for the faunus.
A few years later, when Blake left with Adam Taurus, and Join the White Fang, Bloo decided to leave Menagerie to try and find Blake. Kali gave Bloo, his birth father's weapon; Polaris Ursae before he left the island, hoping they would both one day return back home safely.
A few days later, Bloo was able to locate a White Fang base in Vale, where Blake would be in; as she was beginning see Adam's hatred for the humans was getting worse. Bloo disguised and pretended to be a White Fang Member to infiltrate the campsite, at one time accidently bumping into a human named Mercury Black. When Blake soon realized that Bloo was sneaking around the encampment, she was surprised that Bloo came all this way for her sake, but also knew that he would be in great danger if anyone knew that he was not a real member.
Blake managed to find and talk to Bloo, after he almost got caught by the White Fang Lieutenant. She was furious that Bloo would do something like this, but later hugs him for caring for her that much.

Episode 1: Red, White, Black, Blue, Yellow
Ruby Rose is visiting her mother's grave, excitedly telling her about how her sister had been accepted into Beacon Academy. She also wants to be a Huntress but is worried about her grades. She vows to protect the people just like her mother did. Yang arrives on her motorbike, and Ruby runs over to hug her.
Meanwhile, in Atlas, the family's butler Klein Sieben escorts Weiss Schnee into the palace, and she sees her mother still drinking. Whitley smugly asks Weiss if she is ready, but she stays unintimidated.
The events of the "White" Trailer then happen. Weiss' father warns her that it will be the end if she fails. Klein pulls the lever, unleashing the Arma Gigas to fight her. The two point their swords at each other. Weiss swiftly dodges its attacks, climbing and using Gylphs to slice the foe mid-air. Using Red Dust, her sword turns red and fiery, and she attempts to strike. However, she gets smacked onto the ground by the foe. Her father and brother watch, doubtful that she would pass, but her sister Winter Schnee feels otherwise. Weiss gets up and points her sword towards the giant suit of armor.
A falling red leaf transitions to the next scene - the events of the "Black Trailer". Adam Taurus is seen chasing Blake Belladonna and a rookie member, in the Forever Fall forest. Just then, a Schnee Dust Company train arrives and the three jump onto its cabin, eventually landing inside it. A bunch of robots at rest in the cabin activate. Adam slices them with his sword Wilt and Blush; the masked figure draws out two hatchets Polaris Ursae that quickly transformed into uzis and started shootimg at them; So does Blake, also using her Gambol Shroud to shoot them continuously. The scene transitions to the Moon and a defeated Weiss on the ground. Her sister says that her Aura could only take a few hits before defeat. "The powerless return to dust," she says.
Weiss cries a tear of blood. She uses Blue Dust with her sword to freeze the foe's and uses Red Dust to wield fire again. She uses a mix of attacks such as running on the Arma Gigas, as using Glyphs to create ropes of ice and leap mid-air. Giving the foe a glance, she pierces a hole through it. The suit of armor crumbles down into tiny pieces of ice. Weiss lands down. Her victory leaves Jacques no choice but to let her enroll into Beacon. She gives her butler another look.
Adam and Blake are still busy fighting more robots on the top of the train. Blake shoots and hits the robots at the same time, while Adam slashes and shoots them. They end up in a cabin full of cargo, where Adam suggests stealing Dust. Although Blake says humans were in the train, Adam replies they weren't Faunus like them. Than the new member's mask started to break as it was damaged during the fight, and Adam quickly realized that the "new" Member was really Bloo Blake's adopted younger brother, who's against harming human. Suddenly, they are then attacked by a Spider Droid and forced outside, where Blake and Bloo distracts it long enough for Adam to charge an attack and destroy it. When he turns around, Blake and Bloo decides to sever their connection and the train car. Blake bids him farewell, going to the other cabin and slicing them apart. She says to herself that she needed to find her own path, tossing away a White Fang banner. Some other White Fang members show up, asking whether to chase after her and her younger brother. Adam decides to let her go for a while, and told them that Bloo "persuaded" Blake to leave the White Fang.
A bear-like Grimm somewhere else growls. Blake and Bloo finds an abandoned wooden house and takes out her Scroll and she found out she got accepted to Beacon Academy. Knowing that she could finally take a different path by going to Beacon, she cries in joy, while also sharing a hug with Bloo. Despite Bloo being a year younger, and not being able to join her to Beacon, he was just delighted for Blake to leave the White Fang and training to be a Huntress instead. Blake wished Bloo would have been to go to Beacon, but would for now focus on arriving to the huge city of Vale, and find Tuckson's book trade to stay in temporally.
The events of the "Yellow" Trailer happens next. Yang Xiao Long riding Bumblebee to Junior's Club, a building run by Junior Xiong. As she enters the club, she notices Roman Torchwick finish a conversation with Junior before walking away. She approaches Junior for information and would blackmail him with a image on her scroll of him talking with Roman, unless he tells her what she wants, asking about Raven Branwen. Junior's henchmen come to his aid.
She follows him to the dance floor and lures him into a false sense of security before punching him across the room. She then deploys Ember Celica and proceeds to mow down the henchmen very quickly. The DJ then pulls a gun and starts firing at Yang, but she uses her gauntlets to jump up and punches him out onto the dance floor.
The twins Melanie and Miltia Malachite then go to confront Yang, seeming more annoyed at her actions. Yang reloads and faces off against the two, who put up a strong fight against her, easily avoiding her shots and using a combined attack to push her back. The tide turns, however, when she knocks Melanie back hard enough to leave her lying stunned on the floor. She then focuses on Miltia, smashing her through a glass pillar and knocking her out. Immediately afterward, Melanie gets to her feet and is attacked by Yang. The two are evenly matched, but Yang eventually gets the upper hand and defeats her.
Junior then returns with a large bazooka and fires multiple rockets at Yang, some of which she avoids and others, she destroys. Junior then turns his weapon into a club and hits Yang several times before knocking her away and then firing more rockets at her. As Yang gets in close, he swings his club at her again. However, this time, she avoids it and begins punching him repeatedly, eventually blasting him away and breaking his club in half. While attempting to defend himself, Junior pulls out a lock of Yang's hair.
This sends Yang into a rage, and she summons a huge explosion of fire. She charges forward and hits Junior with a devastating punch that launches him from the club. She then follows him outside, where their father Taiyang Xiao Long, and their black corgi, Zwei is seen standing. Yang greets them, calling Tai "Dad". When Tai asks what she is doing here, Yang only responds that "it's a long story".
In the city, Ruby walks into a Dust Shop listening to music, while Bloo would also walk in too, wearing a beanie, getting some groceries. Meanwhile, Yang receives an invitation to Beacon and asks her father if Ruby was home, who replies that her sister was just buying a present for her acceptance, and that it was about time Ruby became independent. Just then, Roman Torchwick and a group of henchmen enter to rob the store, pointing a gun at the cashier. His goons then proceed to steal some dust. One of them approaches Ruby, only for him to get blasted onto a table. Ruby uses her Semblance, bursting into petals and dashing all across the room, mildly shocking Bloo at first but than he used his semblance to toss around another henchman, and jumps outside by Ruby's side for the fight with the Xiong family. Roman notices and wonders if they we're both from Beacon.
Ruby blasts through the glass window of the shop, breaking it. Bloo quickly follows Ruby through the window, and draws out Polaris Ursae. Ruby's weapon opens up into a Scythe, Crescent Rose. She spins it and smashes it into the road, both ready for battle.
Ruby and Bloo smoothly evades all the henchmen's gunshots and slashes them; also shooting and kicking them. With her Scythe as a pivot, she spins around and kicks one of them. Squashing a cigarette with his cane, Roman shoots out a cloud of Purple Dust from his cane gun, Melodic Cudgel, and escaping and climbing onto a tall building with a grabbling hook, only for Ruby and Bloo to follow him.
An airship comes which shines a blinding light. Roman tosses down a capsule of Dust at them both and shoots it. Yang, Taiyang, and Zwei, we're looking for Ruby, noticing several victims lying on the ground outside the Dust Shop, as well as a cloud of smoke on the top of a building - Glynda Goodwich arrives to stop Roman, defending both Ruby and Bloo, as Ruby recognize her as an huntress. Glynda fires many purple beams at the airship, and proceeds to engage in a ranged battle with Roman's accomplice, Cinder Fall. Though both combatants use an impressive array of attacks and defenses, the fight ends in a draw with Roman and his partner escaping. Ruby shows admiration towards her, but but are both brought into an interrogation room.
Glynda takes Ruby and Bloo to an interrogation room and chastises Ruby and Bloo for their reckless actions, Bloo pointed at Ruby for roping him into the fight, trying to get himself out of more trouble, only for Ruby to punch Bloo's arm in response, stating that he fought with them too. Yang and her father are waiting outside the room at the police station, as the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, Ozpin, steps inside to meet the two reckless heroes, and no soon after Blake Belladonna hurries inside too, to wait her little brother, as she waited, Yang and Blake share a first glace at each, but that was it as she waited on the other side of the front office of the police station.
Glynda then steps aside, Ozpin, who enters with a plate of cookies and some milk, with Ruby and Bloo both tugging for the last cookie, and immediately comments on Ruby's silver eyes. After a brief conversation about Ruby's scythe skills, Bloo's brutish force, Huntsman and Huntress training, remarking of Bloo's last name also being Belladonna, and Ruby's dream of becoming a Huntress, Ozpin offers for Ruby to attend Beacon two years early, and Bloo to attend Beacon one year early, which they both gladly accepts, and both properly introduced themselves. Outside the interrogation room, Yang hugs her, delighted to know that she can attend school with her little sister. Blake on the other hand, immediately tugs at Bloo's ear, dragging him outside of the police station, where Ozpin and Taiyang we're standing. Ozpin adds to Taiyang that his daughter was gifted.
Some time later, after berating him for doing something so recklessly and almost revealing himself to be a faunus at the front of Tuckson's Book Trade, Bloo finally got to tell her that he's going to Beacon with her, instead of returning home to Menagerie, as originally planned, leaving Blake in shock.
Back in Atlas, Weiss tells Klein that the rest of the family was absent from sending her off. Her butler reminds her to take care of herself, confident that she will become a fine Huntress and carry on Nicholas Schnee's legacy. Ruby returns to her mother's grave, placing a bouquet of flowers.
Finally, the day comes and in Beacon, Blake and Bloo spots Weiss pushing a cart of luggages. Ruby thanks her father and vows she will become an outstanding huntress. Her father reminds them to write to him, and they both part ways. Taiyang's dog barks as the airship flies up high.
End of Episode 1 Summery
Author Notes
RWBY, its owned by Rooster Teeth.
Major thanks to the Transcripts and Battle Pages written on RWBY Wiki
After waiting and watching the rest of RWBY: Ice Queendom, I've decided on a latest major change to considering my ideas of RWBY Fanfics, I've thought of over the years. I've decided to focus once again only Bloo Grijalee as the main character, basically a remake of RWBY: Bare Necessities mixing elements of my other main protagonists, and having him somehow to stuck with Team RWBY.
This AU would not only be set in Ice Queendom but with some major elements of Fixing RWBY by Celtic Phoenix Productions. I might prefer mostly sticking to the official canon story though there also elements from the Comics and Manga that would also be added as well into this fanfic, even despite of some it's major flaws, I'm a pretty loyal fan of RWBY.
One Major change will making long summaries of the plot instead of chapters, (for starters, anyway) They would quick summaries of the major events that would be happening the current volumes of RWBY basically kind of like Fixing RWBY by Celtic Phoenix Productions as I might add some things from there in to this Fanfic, than later on, I'll start making full-on chapters, but like before as transcripts. As I find that kind of writing easier then regular writing. I really hope to start making the first official chapter soon, but I still wanted to make and add this summery of the first episode.
Another thing is for the shipping of Bloo, as Bloo and Weiss's shipping name; "Grizzly Blizzard" is very possible, (Polar Bears was already taken by Junior Xiong) I'd also believe that Bloo would most likely be in a romantic relationship with Ruby Rose: Calling it "Rose Bear". As they would both start to really like each other, but start to slowly blossom into a real relationship after (Spoiler Alert) Bloo would ask Ruby out for the Beacon Dance, but only so that they would not be alone and be completely platonic, but I guess we'll just wait and see... "Bear Hug" would also be Yang and Bloo's team attack for team RWBBY.
I Would love and highly appreciate for some reasons to how Bloo was unable to be with a team like some sort of technical flaw or issue and I could try to think of how Team RWBY could accept Bloo into their team, and have him follow some strict set of rules. But would love to know How Bloo was unable to find a team, beside just finding only Ruby and Weiss OR Blake and Yang.
While thinking a bit too far ahead, do you guys think Bloo could join Team RNJR, and making Team RNGJR/RANGR, or stay with Blake on the return home to Menagerie and reunite with his adopted parents and start his new to Anima, surpassingly meeting Yang and (Spoiler Alert) Neo at the end of Vol 4 and saving his adopted family from a White Fang attack?
