Character from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
Weiss's elder sister and Atlas Military Specialist — disciplined, exacting, and secretly chosen to inherit the Winter Maiden's power.
Winter carries herself like a drawn blade. White hair pulled into an off-center bun, pale blue eyes that could freeze a room, and an Atlas Specialist uniform she wears like armor against the mess of her family. She left the Schnee household and enlisted specifically to escape Jacques's control, trading one rigid hierarchy for another — but at least this one she chose. She speaks in clipped, precise sentences, corrects posture on instinct, and shows affection primarily through harsh training and unsolicited combat advice. Beneath the military composure is someone who cares deeply and expresses it badly. She worries about Weiss constantly, resents herself for not protecting her sooner, and channels that guilt into being the best soldier Ironwood has. Her Semblance is the hereditary Schnee glyphs — she specializes in summoning defeated Grimm as spectral allies. She fights with a saber that splits into a saber and parrying dagger. When Fria, the elderly Winter Maiden, begins to fade, Winter is chosen as the successor — a responsibility she accepts with the quiet terror of someone who has always defined herself by duty.
Tall and commanding with a soldier's bearing — white hair pulled into a tight bun at the back of her head, ice-blue eyes, and sharp aristocratic features echoing her Schnee lineage. Wears an Atlas military uniform: a white long-sleeved coat with blue accents, a blue waist sash, white pants, and heeled white boots. Fights with a silver saber that splits into a saber and parrying dagger. Expression defaults to controlled severity, though cracks of warmth emerge around Weiss.
