RWBY

[DamageOverTime]

I'm going to be going to TomorrowWorld so one trip out of town is enough for me.

I doubt any amount of sheltered life style would cause her skin to be THAT pale.

Just popping into say being that pale without albinism is quite possible, I can say so because I'm incredibly pale(never met anyone paler tbh) and even been questioned if I was albino though as far I am aware I am not. I can't tan either and I live in Australia! Top it off albinoism is actually medically defined by having horrible eyesight, not just pale skin and hair/eyes.

Also Weiss' surname suggest the white hair might be a family trait but we have a guy with purple eyes I wouldn't read too much into it.

Well albinism is only defined as lacking pigmentation in your skin, hair, and/or eyes--not just being pale (I'm very pale, too, even when I do get sun, but I still have pigmentation). But, yes, bad eyesight is a very common symptom, as well, but isn't necessary to define albinism. Besides, another part of my head canon is that she wears contacts because glasses are tacky. uwu

As for Yang having purple eyes--which are possible in real life anyway, though typically only seen in albinos funnily enough--Ren also has pink eyes. Both of their names are ethnically similar and seem to reference the Oriental. On that, I just assume that these odd colored eyes are typical of people of pseudo-Asian decent.

It's anime-based. Does hair and eye color have to make sense beyond looking attractive?

Usually I'd say no, but it seems like there are patterns with colors. Monty Oum is huge on symbolism and things actually meaning something in his work--I don't think he'd just assign random colors without rhyme or reason.

But even if I thought colors and such were assigned without reason, I'd still stick with the idea that Weiss is albino because I like the idea. uwu

Now that you mention it, Ozpin did note that Ruby had silver eyes, like it was important.

[Kidd]

Yup yup. I'm thinking that her mother maybe had silver eyes, as well, and Ozpin knew her. Could be more or less complex, though, Idk.

I'm also wondering who the "queen" Qrow referred to when he messaged Ozpin is. So much vagueness going on.

[DamageOverTime]

Also, maybe I missed it but are Ruby and Yang really sisters? Or are they adopted or something. I cant remember if they said something about that in season 1 cause they look nothing alike imo.

[Kidd]

I do believe word of God stated that they are indeed blood related. The mystery for the fans at the moment is "how?"

Personally, I think they're half sisters--different moms, same dad in my mind. But I guess we'll find out eventually

The RWBY humor tangents are pretty good:



That's the first one, but here's a link to the playlist if you prefer.

Yea considering that one is bright blond with an Asian name (but looks Caucasian) and the other is a black/reddish head (also looks Caucasian). I think they did mention in the start of season 1 about a father but I cant remember exactly I'ma watch it again.

They comment about their father a few times: I think it's episode 3 when they're at the sleepover and Ruby comments "Dad wouldn't approve of all the boys" and Yang responds with "I know I sure do."

Then an episode or two after that, Yang is telling Ruby to get out of her shell and Ruby responds, "grrr, you sound like Dad!"

They don't really talk about their mother, though, which is why I think it's the father they have in common. The only time Ruby speaks of parents together is when she's explaining to Ozpin why she wants to be a huntress: "Our parents always told to help people so, y'know, might as well make a career out of it."

[DamageOverTime]

Yea, I agree with everything you just said.

Bwahahaha! >:D

[salamimike]

Is there a RWBY rp running anywhere on the site?
That would be kind of cool...

[Kidd]

Jett does one on ones, but I haven't seen a group RP. I've considered starting on a few times, but never actually have--obviously.

Well I would join :D
Maybe try and get some people interested?

[Kidd]

I wouldn't know what to do plot-wise uwu RPs without solid plots die pretty quickly

[DamageOverTime]

True. I'm just content talking about possible theories and gifs. >.>
