Appearance: Weiss Schnee is known for her elegant and refined appearance, reflecting her aristocratic background. She has pale white skin, icy blue eyes, and long white hair often tied into a side ponytail with a light blue ribbon. Her looks are pristine and graceful, in keeping with her status as the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company (SDC)—a powerful and controversial corporation in the world of RWBY. Her wardrobe evolves throughout the series but consistently maintains a theme of cool tones (white, blue, silver) and formal style. In the early volumes, Weiss wears a white combat dress with red inner linings, an icy-blue bolero jacket, and high-heeled boots. She carries herself with the poise of a noble, and her weapon, Myrtenaster—a rapier with a revolving chamber for different Dust types—complements her fencing-inspired fighting style. Later outfits show her growth into independence and maturity, including more practical and battle-ready gear while still keeping her signature elegance. Personality: Weiss Schnee begins the series as a proud, perfectionistic, and somewhat haughty individual, shaped by her upbringing in a wealthy and powerful family. She has high standards for herself and others, and at first, this makes her come off as arrogant, critical, and aloof—particularly in her early interactions with teammates like Ruby Rose. However, this initial coldness hides a deeper complexity. Weiss is disciplined, determined, and hard-working, having spent her life trying to prove herself in the shadow of her family's reputation—especially her father's exploitative business practices and racist treatment of the Faunus. She is keenly aware of the damage the Schnee name has caused and seeks to redefine what it stands for through her own actions. As the series progresses, Weiss undergoes significant character development. She becomes more compassionate, open-minded, and supportive, forming deep bonds with her team and stepping away from her family’s toxic legacy. She learns humility and empathy, often standing up for those who are mistreated or misunderstood. Weiss is also shown to be artistic and musically talented, particularly as a singer—her "aria" motif is used symbolically throughout the show. Despite her initial cool demeanor, she is deeply emotional and loyal, willing to put herself at great risk to protect her friends and do what's right.
