Weiss

You know, if you told me that one day I would be at Beacon academy learning how to fight monsters, I would've simply laughed and told you to hit the road. But now that I look back on everything that has happened thus far, I deserve to be away from the mansion for a while. My name is Weiss Schnee, future heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. But I have the feeling you already know the name of the company. It's a name that means many things. Mostly good, but some bad. But I am getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.

The Schnee family manor is one of the largest buildings in all of Vale. It is far from the city itself. And has several different roads leading to it. The manor has at least five floors and has over one hundred rooms inside. Only three bedrooms serve me and my mother and father. The other sixty rooms are for the civil servants (people would call them butlers, but I find the title to be humiliating). There are several different guest rooms and kitchens. We also have a built-in ballroom for parties and other grand affairs. We also have a swimming pool, and a personal landing strip for my father's airship (He told me one day, I will have my own airship). For a seven-year old. It is the lap of luxury.

"Weiss, time to get up. Your father's coming home today." Came a voice downstairs.

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and looked around at my bedroom. It had a massive walk-in closet, two mirrors (One in the closet, the other in my room). My room was situated and the second floor and I could still hear my mother's voice downstairs. I was soon excited as I remembered that my father was coming home from a business trip. Soon I jumped out of bed and started to do my morning routine.

I arrived at the kitchen table to see the smiling face of my mother. She was a kind and giving woman. We have so much money in our name that sometimes my mother gives some to charity (despite father's constant protests.) "Good morning Misses and Miss Schnee. May I get you anything? " came the voice of our civil servant, Jenkins. Whenever my mother or father wasn't around, Jenkins would serve as my caretaker.

"Not now Jenkins." She said to him.

My Mother, better known to the public as Khione Schnee. She had snow white hair (just like mine. And she had a slender figure. Our breakfast was a quiet one. Me and my mother never really talked much in the past and I was excited for the return of my father. I quickly ate my toast with butter on the side to go out to the airfield and await my father's return. "Now Weiss, what do I always tell you?" My mother said with a voice, ridged with authority.

"Rushing somewhere will never make anything come faster." I said, responding with a mild sense of annoyance.

My mother typical scolded my on my behavior. With Father mostly gone with business meeting and the like, she had to become the authority figure in the house. So after she scolded me, I calmly walked out to the airstrip. I waited for five minutes before the massive airship moved into view. The noise was thundering as it sat down on the airstrip and the ramp lowered down so the crew can walk out. And out in the light stepped my father.

My father's name was Gleeson Schnee and compared to my mother, he was a sharp contrast compared to her. He had black with streaks of grey in them. And he was a very round man and had a small goatee. Despite his appearance everywhere he went, he always commanded authority. I rushed forward and hugged him in an embrace with my mother kissing him the on cheek shortly afterward. "Hi honey, how was your business trip?" She asked rather curiously.

"Come you two, let's discuss future business plans. I have something to tell our little girl."

Sorry for the rather short chapter. I was somewhat rushed to do this. Before you ask, here are some answers to certain discussions I made so far.

Why are Weiss's parents named Gleeson and Khione? - I named Weiss's mother after the Greek god of snow Khione. As for her father, I just ran out of names okay.

Why was the mansion not told in such good detail? – I could not fit the details of the mansion into one chapter and I will put them in as the story moves along.

Why Jenkins as a Butler name? –Because sometimes you need a story with a butler named Jenkins. He will serve as Weiss surrogate mother and father when they are away.

Coming up next: Weiss discovers her future destiny but begins to question it. And later, we soon discover a child that has been taken in by the most infamous movements in Vale. The White Fang…

Adios.
