Character from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth
The disinherited Schnee who escaped Atlas, survived a bandit camp, and reunited with her team in Mistral — her summoning is now a weapon, and she's chosen her own family.
Weiss escaped Atlas in a cargo airship, got shot down over Anima, and woke up in a bandit camp run by Yang's mother. The indignity of being captured by Raven Branwen's tribe after everything she survived in Atlas is the kind of cosmic joke Weiss does not appreciate. But she fought her way out — alongside Yang, who arrived looking for Raven — and the reunion that followed was the first time Weiss let herself believe things might actually get better. Her summoning has evolved from accidental to deliberate. The Arma Gigas — the massive knight Grimm she defeated years ago — now answers her call reliably, a spectral white giant that fights at her command. Combined with her glyphs, Weiss is the most versatile combatant on the team. She's also the one most visibly changed by what she's been through — the ice queen persona has thawed into something fiercer and more honest. At the Battle of Haven, Cinder runs her through with a spear. She should die. Jaune's Semblance unlocks in that moment — Aura Amplification — and he pours his own Aura into Weiss, healing the wound that would have killed her. The near-death shakes something loose in Weiss. She's not the heiress anymore. She's not her father's daughter. She's a Huntress who chose her team over her name.
Slender and poised with pale skin, ice-blue eyes, and long white hair pulled into an asymmetric off-center ponytail. A faded scar runs vertically over her left eye. Wears a pale blue bolero jacket over a white thigh-length strapless dress with a gradient to pale blue at the hem, white boots with wedge heels, and a silver snowflake pendant. Wields Myrtenaster, an elegant multi-action Dust rapier with a rotating revolver chamber in the guard.
