A lot of people have expressed interest in Reverse RWBY, so I figured it might be good to write down what the characters are like. I'm also open to suggestions on changes you like or characteristics that just don't get with you since this is a pretty big AU:
Ruby Rose: Eldest daughter of the Xiao-Long/Branwen/Rose household. Grew up on reading Mistralian comics and is thus obsessed with shoujo romances and finding the perfect relationship. Tends to use her Maiden powers in pursuit of said romance, much to poor Jaune and Pyrrha's dismay.
Yang Xiao Long: The baby of the family. Super excited to kick Grimm butt and be a hero. Also super protective of her sister, so she gets super annoyed whenever Jaune is 'perving' on her. Uses her Maiden powers to fight Grimm and make explosive (literally) entrances. Treated by everyone as their little sister.
Blake Belladonna: Only daughter of the Belladdonas and heiress to the White Fang corp. Has little interest in actually being a Huntress and only does so for the PR boost it can give her company. Often uses her Maiden powers for practical pursuits such as increasing crop yield or making mining quicker and safer.
Also Best Girl. Refuses to get involved in wacky hijinks and suggest calling the cops/the teachers/throwing her money at the problem instead of putting their lives at risk.
Weiss Schnee: Middle child of the Schnee crime family. A bit of a punk and a prickly rebel, though a softy at heart. Puts on a front of hating Faunus but is actually really fond of them. Secretly dating Adam Taurus, one of the WF Corp's most prominent agents. Uses her Maiden powers the least since she's reluctant to follow in her family's criminal pursuits.
Nora Valkyrie: Girl who lost her parents in a Grimm attack, thus perpetually cynical and tired. Only really gets up in the morning cause her boyfriend makes her.
Lie Ren: Orphan who has a bright outlook on life due to being shown the kindness of strangers. Very animated and loudmouthed, dragging Nora into wacky adventures.
Jaune Arc: Four time Vale Regional Champion and prodigy fighter. Kind and humble despite is background and actually more interested in settling down than doing heroics. Assigned to watch over the four Maidens due to his fighting skills and bonds with them quickly due to his personality. Has a crush on Pyrrha.
Pyrrha Nikos: Girl blessed with an incredible Semblance but absolutely no fighting skills. Forced by her parents to attend Beacon in order to live up to the family legacy. Very prone to Semblance mishaps. Object of affection for both Ruby and Jaune, the former of whom wants a polyamorous threesome relationship. Pity her.
Mercury Black: Assistant nurse at Beacon and aspiring doctor. Takes the saving of lives very seriously and will fight only if it's to protect his patients.
Winter Schnee: Alcoholic slacker who somehow still managed to become an Atlesian specialist. Has a tense relationship with Qrow Branwen, who really just wants her to shape up and stop embarassing herself. Very quick to throw hands.
Qrow Branwen: Professional teacher and agent. Very strict with his demands but also very fair and supportive. Often nags Winter, which makes her throw hands.
Adam Taurus: Experienced WF Corp agent and Blake's personal bodyguard. Stoic, calm, and loyal. Often acts as the voice of reason whenever Blake gets too heavy handed or starts demanding tuna. Secretly dating Weiss Schnee.
Salem: Headmistress of Beacon Academy and immortal witch dedicated to protecting mankind. Still retains all her magic powers but chooses to limit involvement outside of dire circumstances, believing that mortals should make their own choices with as little influence from her as possible.
Cinder Fall: Salem's adopted daughter and combat instructor for Beacon. Very friendly and popular with the students, always willing to lend a hand when asked. Secretly looking for her perfect prince so she can have a fairytale romance. Gets along best with Ruby who shares her views on romance.
So what do you guys think?
