Their first meeting.
Blake is fighting Eve. She's not doing very well. Eve swings her sword at Blake, knocking her off balance and falling to the ground.
Blake: Argh!
She screams in pain. Eve wastes no time and raises her sword again to attack.
Eve: You die here.
She brings her sword down at high speed, but is stopped by a blow to her side. Shooting it seven meters away from Blake. Angry, she turns to see where the blow came from, and sees a guy hiding behind a white shield with two golden moons in the center.
Eve: Who are you?!
She says as she gets back into her fighting stance. The guy lowers his shield a little, showing his face of determination and bravery.
Jaune: I'm Jaune Arc, and I won't let you hurt my friends.
He says with a serious look fit for a warrior. His hair is combed back from all the sweat, his clothes are somewhat worn and torn showing part of his well toned body, and his eyes shine like the ocean itself on a bright morning.
Eve:...
Eve just stands there without moving an inch.
Jaune continues looking at her for a few seconds and she still doesn't move. So he decides to do something.
Jaune: Hey.. Um…
Blake: *Still hurt* E-Eve.
Jaune: Thanks. Hey Eve...
Eve: Hm...
Jaune: Are we going to fight?
Eve: No, I'm bored now. Bye
She turns around and leaves.
Jaune: *Confuse* She's leaving?
Blake: It's better that way. *Cough Cough* She's too strong to face alone.
Jaune: I understand, but why did she leave just like that?
Blake: I honestly don't know.
Ten minutes after Eva and Jaune met for the first time.
Eve returns to her lair, grabs one of the laptops, and starts typing.
Click... Clack... Click... Click-Clack-Click-ClackClickClackClickClackClickClackClickClackClickClackClickClackClickClackClickClackCLICK!CLACK!CLICK!CLACK!CLICK!CLACK!
Adam: Hello sister, what are you doing- WHAT THE FUCK?!!
On the screen he could see very detailed information about a certain Jaune Arc. Like VERY detailed and private information: "Where does he lives, his mother's maiden name, his first pet, his exes, favorite food, shoe size, medical history, he's single" Follow by "How to make someone fall in love with you?, Nearby churches, Wedding dresses" and "How to make someone disappear?"
Adam: *Worry* Sister, do you remember the talk we had about the things you shouldn't do when you fall in love with someone?
Eve: Yeah, and...?
Adam: This is one of them.
Eve:...
Eve: Are you sure?

If anyone else pulls on Yang's hair she would punch them. If Jaune pulls on Yang's hair she would say "harder daddy~".
Yang: *Sends girl flying with a punch during a combat class spar after she cut a few strands of her golden locks off her head* "NO ONE TOUCHES MY HAIR!!! RAAAAGH!" *Charges forward after her opponent with her hair ablaze and eyes crimson*
Ruby, Blake, and Wiess in their seats: *Flashbacks to sleepless nights (or very exciting ones in Blake's case) where Yang is moaning and squealing loudly for Jaune to grab and pull her hair harder*
Jaune: *Was still unaware that his girlfriend didn't like her hair being messed with like this and is now wondering how he's still alive or able to have children*
*Later that night*
Yang: *Naked and bent over on Jaune's bunk, her ass up and face down as Jaune is about to fuck her from behind* "Pull my hair while you fuck me daddy~"
Jaune: *Stops immediately and pulls out a piece of paper* "Sign this waiver!"

Vtuber au ask. So we know that Weiss, Ruby and Cinder so far all have feeling for Jaune. Will be be seeing other members of team rwby, jnpr and cmen?
The VTuber: The Dragoness
A blank screen was all that was scene, an empty void of nothingness. Until a single spark flared to life in the centre of the screen before all was engulfed in flame, as the shadow of a burning heart stood alone before all faded to ash, and dust. Revealing a woman with vibrant violet eyes, and a dazzling smile. Wings stretched out, behind her, as a crown of horns rest upon her golden locks of hair.
For this was the dragon girl VTuber, DraGunShow.
Tumblr media
And, the show was just beginning.
~~~
DraGunShow: Hello, chat~! How’s everyone doing this fine day?
DraGunShow show gave her chat a dazzling smile showing off her sharp canines as she watched chats replies come trickling in.
~~~Stream Chat~~~
ViciousDoggo: It begins!
Helios6291: Hello Dragon!
KnightsBannana: Our queen is here!
IdentifiableMistake: Hello girls~!
Quintix: Hello!
~~~~~~
DraGunShow: Hi everyone, it’s nice to see you too. Okay chat, for today’s show I have a special treat for you~! Well… more of a treat for me, but all of you will get a kick out of it!
Her radiant smile was infectious as her body moved about, letting her wings flap as her ‘girls’ jiggled to, and fro as she went in with her little plan for today.
DraGunShow: Okay, my dear friend, SushiandShibari gave me a challenge the other day, and it’s one that I must say I’m all fired up to do! My challenge is to flirt with everyone’s loveable knight, ErrantryPaladin. And, see if we can get him to blush! The nina cat bet I couldn’t do it, but I’m sure as hell bet I could! So, who’s ready to see their favourite knight blush up a storm?!
~~~~~~
FshOnLand: Oh hell yeah!
RubberDucky98: Let’s do this!
Venger: 5000 bits says she can’t do it.
Rightotheleft: I’ll take that bet.
Yenta: Another 5000 says she blushes first.
Tallai37: Gonna pass that to Errant’s stream then?
Venger: Sure, why not.
~~~~~~
DraGunShow: Ohh~! Do you have no faith in me chat? Please, this is going to be a cake walk~!
DraGun opened up the stream to show she already had, ErrantryPaladin’s stream playing in the background, he was playing another round of, Deep Rock Galactic, and had just finished a mission when, DraGun decided to call, VTubings most infamous heartbreaker.
Errant’s model look to the side as his eye brow shot upwards in an inquisitive, yet cautious manner.
Errant: Hello, DraGun. To what do I owe the unexpected pleasure?
DraGunShow: Okay chat here we go!
DraGunShow: Hey, Errant~! How’s to going?
Errant: It was going well, but now I have a sense of foreboding. Do you need something, DarGun?
DraGunShow: Hey, my name is, DraGunShow, but you can call me tonight~!
Errant: Eh?
DraGun was met with the lovely sight of, Errant looking at her with an utterly bewildered expression across his face. It was cute, but not what she wanted.
DraGunShow: Do you know what’s on this years Valentine’s menu?
Errant: What?
DraGunShow: Me-N-U~!
Errant face contorted into an array of wild facial expressions, varying from the confused, the pondering, to the clarification, and then back to the confused.
DraGunShow: Uhhh… I-I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together~!
Errant: W-What are you doing?
DraGunShow: Uhhh… shit… O-One moment.
Errant: Okay?
DraGun quickly muted herself as she turned to face her screen as he face fell as panic, and embarrassment set in.
DraGunShow: I fucked up!
~~~~~~
RohanasStalion: That was horrible
AledenTheon: crash, and burn baby
VicuousDoggo: abort abort abort!
Venger: So, do I pay Errant the 5000 bits then or what?
~~~~~~
DraGunShow: No! I can still do this! It’s just a little mess up! The bets not over yet! I CAN DO THIS!!!
Fire erupted from, DraGun’s model as she pumped herself up, she roared at her chat as her chat started to hype her up, and she quickly unmuted herself, and…
Errant: So what’s this bet of yours all about?
Stopped dead in her tracks as, Errant’s simple comment blindsided her.
DraGunShow: H-How did you know about that?!
Errant: Someone on my chat decided to make the same bet; ‘5000 bits says, Errant can’t make, DragonDeezBoobs blush.’ Is that why you were flirting with me earlier? To get me to blush?
DraGunShow: Ah-hahaha haaa… SushiandShibari made bet with me that I couldn’t get you to blush, and I bet I could. So…
Errant: And, what is the prize of you winning this bet; bragging rights?
DraGunShow: Uhh… Yeah pretty much. Bragging rights, and gloating that I could get you to blush.
Errant: Hmmm… Would you care to make this more… interesting~?
The way, Errant purred that last word sent a chill down, DraGun’s spine. On that filled her with excitement, and desire as he stared her down.
DraGunShow: Interesting how~?
Errant: Simple: We both tell pickup lines until the other pleads uncle, and the winner wins both the smug satisfaction of making the other blush, and admit defeat. And, the promised 5000 bits their chat offered. You game, or is the dragon afraid to be burned?
DraGun let loose a growl deep within her throat as she took the Paladins challenge with earnest gusto.
DraGunShow: I’m game! Ready to become a blushing mess when I break you down!
Errant: we shall see. Alright! Chat we are about to have our little duel. You shall be the ultimate decided on who the winner is. And, you also allowed to tell us any of your clever pickup lines in the chat. Unless that is a problem, Dragun?
DraGunShow: My chat vs yours? Sounds like fun, what do you say chat, up for a challenge?
~~~~~~
RubberDucky98: Yeah let’s do this!
Tallai37: We’re gonna wreck them!
Yenta: Anyone want to add to the betting pool?
Penguinwithagun: I’m down for 500!
Kachina: I can do a 100.
Venger: Let’s take them for every bit they have!
~~~~~~
Dragun smiled deviously as she stared at the wandering paladon as they prepared for the games to begin.
DraGunShow: Seems my chat is upping the wager.
Errant: So are my; hopefully they can forck over the bits when you lose.
DraGunShow: In your dreams pretty boy~!
Errant: Ladies first.
DraGunShow: Alright, I’m not feeling myself today, can I feel you up instead~?
Errant: Weak. Treat me like I am a pirate, and give me that booty.
DraGunShow: Arrgh me captain, der be dog shite over the starboard bow!
Errant: Oh, tough croud.
DraGunShow: If you were a flower you’d be a damn-delion~!
Errant: What are you some sort of cocky sixth grader? Hit me with something good!
Errant: Ahem, my turn. Do you know how to play, Titanic?
DraGunShow: There’s a game associated with the, Titanic?!
Errant: Yeah, it’s a simple enough game to play too; You be the iceberg, and I’ll be the, Titanic going down you~!
DraGun’s eyes flared for the briefest of moments. She cooed softly to herself as she watched how he could play with fire. No things we’re getting exciting!
DraGunShow: Tell me, do you have extra room in your mouth for an extra tongue?
Errant: Do you like bacon, DraGun?
DraGunShow: I love me a slice of bacon.
Errant: Wanna strip then?
DraGunShow: Eh? Ohhh… That’s bad. That’s really bad.
Errant: Yeah, it took you too long for you to realize it.
DraGunShow: My turn! That shirt looks good on you, as a matter of fact, so would I~!
Errant: Speaking of clothes, while you look absolutely gorgeous in yours, I bet you’d look divine without them~!
Dragun’s cupped her face with her hands as she reeled back, even if she tried to hide it, errant could see the red of her blush blooming across her face.
DraGunShow: You threw that back on me! That’s not fair!
Errant: Alls fair in love, and war my dear dragon.
DraGunShow: EEEEEIIII?!?!!
~~~~~~
Venger: I think we’re gonna lose this one pals.
Zathrian: the pool is at, 6380 bits.
TraiqKanti: He’s breaking her down.
AledenTheon: I expected her to be better at flirting.
IdentifiableMistake: Always the flitter, never the flirted.
Quintix: She is absolutely adorable though.
Rightotheleft: The clips that have been made will be fantastic!
Asrid: Here’s a flirt you can use, DraGun!
~~~~~~
DraGunShow: I recommendation?
DraGunShow: Hmm…
DraGunShow: Oh~! Fufufufu~!
Errant: Should I be nervous chat? I feel like I should be a little nervous.
DraGunShow: Hey, Errant~?
Errant: Yes?
DraGunShow: I’m no watermelon, but I have something pink, sweet, and juicy that I’ll know you’ll like. Oh, and it’s seedless, would you care to change that~?
Errant gave a low whistle as he looked away, a faint blush, but a noticeable blush spread across his face. She may be losing their little challenge, but that little blush was a win, and all wins in her book.
Errant: Now that’s quite the spicy pickup line. Better step up my game then.
DraGunShow: Bring it on, Loverboy~!
Errant: I will, but can you remind me later to hang up a photo that I have of you first?
DraGunShow: Y-You have a photo of me?
Errant: I do, but I keep forgetting to put it up; Can you make sure I remember so I can nail you against the wall~?
DraGunShow: Eh…?
The cold unwavering confidence he carried as he said that to her face broke her. She thought she was a strong girl who could make any man fall to their knees before her. But, he wasn’t any ordinary man now was he?
DraGunShow: O-Okay! A-Are you…?!
Errant: Hey question: You ride a motorcycle right?
DraGunShow: Y-Yeah…?
Errant: And, you of course grab the handle bar to ride it.
DraGunShow: Yeah, that’s how you drive any bike.
Errant: So, should I grab you by the horns to ride you then~?
DraGunShow: EH?!?!
And, with those few words. DraGun’s face erupted into a display of red as her hands swiftly covered her face as she become flush with embarrassment. The bastard was smooth, smoother than she exercised expected him to possibly be. And, as much as she enjoyed flirting with him, it was embarrassing as all hell.
DraGunShow: I give! I give! I-I-I can’t do this anymore! You win!
Errant: And, victory is mine! Pay up chat.
Errant hummed to himself as he say the donations from the looser flood in. This had been a fun little diversion in his opinion. However, he thinks he did more harm than good.
Errant: Uhh… DraGun…? Are you okay? Did I take it too far with the flirting? If so I’m…?!
DraGunShow: I’m fine?!! Great even! Congrats on winning! Goodbye!
Errant: Uhh… Okay, good…
A soft chime sounded as the call disconnected as, Errrant’s hand that was about to wave goodbye slowly fell, as DraGun’s swift, and sudden departure.
Errant: …
Errant: I think I have done irrevocable harm to her…
Errant: …
Errant: Okay… back to rock, and stone then.
~~~
DraGunShow had swiftly cut the call as she now hid with her face in her hands, and she screamed in embarrassment at what, Errant had done.
DraGunShow: If you were going to make a girl blush you could have least be a gentleman about that.
~~~~~~
Penguinwithagun: Isn’t that why everyone likes him though?
~~~~~~
DraGunShow: S-Shut up chat!
~~~~~~
Venger: Best 5000 bits I’ve ever lost.
TraiqKanti: Did she really lose the bet?
AledenTheon: Considering, Errant flirted with her, it’s a win.
Asrid: SushiandShibari’s bet was a fantastic idea.
~~~~~~
DraGunShow: NyanNinja?!!
DraGun’s model shot straight up, while her face was still flushed red with embarrassment, her eyes held a blazing bloody red. A setting for her model where she can make her models eyes change from their usual violet hue, to deep crimson to show that she was angry. And, right now, she was pissed.
~~~
Meanwhile on another, VTuber’s stream, SushiandShibari was playing a horror game when she got a sudden call from her friend.
SushiandShibari: Hmm? Oh, DragonDeezBoobs is calling me~! But, why?
SushiandShibari: Hey, DraGun, what’s up, do you need something?
DraGunShow: You’re a bitch!
SushiandShibari: Eh…?
And, as suddenly, and unexpectedly as she called she left, leaving a bewildered, and confused cat behind, leaving her with, but one question.
SushiandShibari: W-What… What the fuck was that about?!
\\\
Haaa… I lnew what, and how I wanted this done for days… but, it took me days to write it?!
Haa… enjoy everyone.
Oh! It’s AI art if you’re curious. I would have found a photo, but I couldn’t find one that fit. As sad as that is, I did get the, Dragon Slayer prompt out of it.

Bright and Early!
Jaune:Zzzz
Pyrrha:Jaune? *shakes him* Jauuune. Rise in shine. Time to get up.
Jaune:Mmmm
Pyrrha:I will eat you breakfast.
Jaune:*sits up*….You’re so cruel. *leans on her*
Pyrrha:Oh! Uhh, *pats his head* No rest for the wicked unfortunately. Sleep well?
Jaune:Yeah. Training was great yesterday. Although…I’m still exhausted.
Pyrrha:I’d be too after everything you’ve done. Which is why I think breakfast in bed is an order! *reveals tray* Ta dah! Ren got up early and Nora had requests.
Jaune:I’m not gonna lie, the taste of Ren’s pancakes sounds perfect right now. *raises head* Let me guess, no syrup again?
He opens the tray and his eyes widened as he notices the strange choice of breakfast; beautifully colored leaves. Jaune turns his head to look at Pyrrha, but only finds golden dust fading away. He glances back at the tray in his arms to find it gone as well, replaced with the fading smile of a friend in his arms as they spoke softly…
Penny:Well? Didn’t you hear what she said?
Jaune:…Yeah.
xxxxxx
The blonde man sits up violently, his body trembling so badly it spooks the Paper Pleasers for what had to be the hundredth time. The words of a twisted fantasy lingers in his head. No rest for the wicked. Not after what you’ve done.
Paper Pleasers:Savior…?
Jaune:….I have so much work to do.

Jaune: Say no more, Pyrrha.
===============================
Pyrrha: (Answers door) Yes?
Yang: 'Sup, P-money. Jaune said you had something to tell me?
Pyrrha: DAMMIT, JAUNE!

At Junior's bar, Jaune and Yang were seen sitting at a booth and sharing a laugh.
"Damn, VB, I never thought you could be so funny." Yang chuckled with her eyes closed.
Jaune took the moment to look at Yang and appreciate her beauty. The way her nose scrunched up, how contagious her laugh was and how her golden hair seemed to glow like a low fire in the light.
When Jaune first arrived at Beacon and saw Yang, he thought she was drop dead gorgeous (but then again all the girls at Beacon were, was looking like a super model a requirement?) and wanted to try his luck with talking to her.
That was until he barfed all over her boots, yeah not a great first impression. And when he saw how she carried herself, her confidence, her charisma, Jaune knew he had no chance. Yang was probably asked out a lot by guys. Better looking, better fighters. What chance did he have?
But at least he could be her friend, and enjoy moments like this with her.
Jaune manged to gather himself in time as Yang's eyes opened again once her laughter calmed down. "Yeah, one could say I'm funnier than you." Jaune regretted his words immediately after saying them.
'What the fuck, jaune?!' The Knight thought to himself. 'You don't say you're funnier than a girl who likes her jokes!' Now he had surely blundered this whole night.
But strangely, Yang didnt seem upset. If anything, she smirked at Jaune and took a long swig of her drink.
Jaune watched as a drop of the drink escaped the glass, running down her rosy cheek, down her neck, past her collarbone and into the depths of her bust.
Jaune snapped his gaze back to Yang, hoping she would think his red face was just from drinking.
But he caught her eye, she had watched him. Jaune felt shameful, anticipating the jaw breaking slap she'd give him for being a perv.
But no slap came, if anything she had a tinge of amusement in her beautiful eye.
Once she downed the burning liquid, Yang smiled at Jaune, the smile made him feel like she was a predator and he was the prey.
"Oh really? Well how about this one? I'm sure it'll leave you speechless." Yang challenged and leaned in towards Jaune.
Jaune had to focus on Yang's lilac eyes, doing his best to not give into temptation and let his eyes wander to her inviting cleavage. Again.
"So, there's three boy mice and a girl mouse, they're all stuck in a room with no doors or windows. One of the boy mice asks the girl mouse how to get out, and the girl replied with "sleep with me tonight and I'll tell you in the morning". He does and the next day, he is gone. The second boy mouse askes the girl mouse how to get out, and she says "sleep with me tonight and I'll tell you in the morning". The next day, he is gone too." Yang said before giving Jaune an intense look.
"Do you wanna know how the last mouse got out of the box?" She asked.
Jaune nodded, though he expected to hear some cheesy punchline or something.
What he didn't expect was for Yang to move closer to Jaune, practically pressing herself to him, half sitting on his lap. Jaune made to question her with a stuttering voice and red face until he felt Yang's warm breath against his ear, making him shiver as she finishes the joke.
"Sleep with me tonight, and I'll tell you in the morning.~"
Yang pulled away to face Jaune, her eyes looking deep into his own as she bit her lip.
Jaune, in fact, was speechless, so he simply nodded with a open mouth, letting himself be dragged by a giggling Yang off to somewhere else.
The next couple of minutes were a blur to him, up until they reached a hotel.
In the morning, Jaune forgot to ask how the mouse got out, but he'd certainly never forget the night they spent together.

Ruby and the Splendor Solis
Here comes a quick alchemy meta! Alchemy is an ancient practice, whose goal is to create the philosopher stone. This stone gives immortality, transmutes lead into gold and creates new life (homunculus). From a philosophical point of view, alchemy's aim is to nurture the spirit and to make it perfect.
As @hamliet has explained in several metas, RWBY is an alchemical story, which metaphorically illustrates the procedure to create the stone (RWBY/Ruby).
Today's post will explore Ruby and Maria's interaction in volume 6 episode 8 (Dead End):
Tumblr media
As a matter of fact the scene references the 6th plate of the Splendor Solis.
WHAT IS THE SPLENDOR SOLIS?
The Splendor Solis is an alchemical text, which describes how to make the philosophical stone through 22 illustrated plates:
4 introductory plates present the protagonists of the alchemical journey
7 parables illustrate the alchemical death and rebirth
7 flask plates explore the alchemical process from a practical point of view
4 final plates describe the alchemical process from a spiritual point of view
How does Ruby and Maria's scene reference plate 6?
PLATE 6 AND VOLUME 6
Let's begin with describing what plate 6 is like:
Tumblr media
This plate has three philosophers under a tree with golden fruits. The tree is a metaphor for the alchemical process as whole. It is the philosophical tree and if you climb it you reach the golden fruit (perfection/the philosopher stone).
The three people embody the phases of alchemy:
The young man climbing the ladder is nigredo (black)
The man who wears white outside and red inside is albedo (white)
The man who wears red outside and white inside is rubedo (red)
Citrinitas (the yellow stage) is instead symbolized by the yellow flowers and by the golden bough the men are pursuing. The scene as a whole represents a transformation, which is why the birds that fly in the sky have some green shades. Green is, thus, the color of transformation.
How does all of this rely to Ruby and Maria?
First of all, the two silver eyed warriors speak under a tree:
Tumblr media
With golden fruits:
Tumblr media
Secondly, this scene frames Maria as the teacher and Ruby as the student. Maria is initiating Ruby to very important knowledge, so that our young alchemist can continue her journey.
Ruby: I don't know… I don't know anything… What do I tell Jaune and his team when we don't even have a plan? Qrow's out drinking, Ozpin hasn't come back and even if he did, I don't know if I could trust him. And there's always Jinn, but… we only have one more question we can ask her. I feel like I'm letting everyone down… Maria: If you're tired of not knowing anything, how about we discuss those eyes of yours?
MARIA, THE TEACHER
Tumblr media
Maria embodies the archetype of the old wise woman. She is a mature version of Ruby (an older silver-eyed warrior), who comes in our protagonist's life to offer guidance. She is the more expert alchemist:
Tumblr media
Maria grabs the golden fruit. Symbolically, this shows that she is far ahead of Ruby in the alchemical quest.
This is made clear by her:
semblance
weapon
Preflexes lets Maria sense everything better than others. Metaphorically, it means she has a better understanding of reality than others. This ties with her having wisdom.
Life and Death is made by two kamas that can be combined in a staff:
Tumblr media
They can be separated (solvet) and united (coagula). Solvet and coagula is the mantra of alchemy, as this process aims to create the philosophical stone by separating and uniting the elements. Over and over. Until perfection is obtained. Metaphorically, it means a soul is refined through creation and destruction. Life and Death.
RUBY, THE STUDENT
Tumblr media
Ruby is young and ignorant. She doesn't know what to do and she doesn't know about her eyes. She is the alchemist apprentice, who is going through a transformation:
Tumblr media
Differently from the Splendor Solis plate, there are no birds in the scene. However, the scenery is full of butterflies, which are another symbol of change. Of death and rebirth:
Tumblr media
As far as the nature of Ruby's transformation is concerned, the setting gives us some hints, as Maria and Ruby are speaking in a garden full of white snow. That is because RWBY is approaching albedo (the white phase). In particular, volume 6 climax marks Ruby's passage from nigredo to albedo. This process if metaphorically foreshadowed in Ruby and Maria's conversation thanks to a specific visual cue:
Tumblr media
Let's look at Maria's plate:
The grapes are purple/black = nigredo, the black phase
The plate is white = albedo, the white phase
The lemons/oranges are yellow = citrinitas, the yellow phase
The strawberries are red = rubedo, the red phase
The kiwis are green = transformation (plus prima materia, aka the beginning)
In short, the plate and fruits are a metaphor for the alchemical process as a whole. What's interesting is that a little butterfly flies on them:
Tumblr media
It pauses for a little while on top of the grapes (nigredo) until Maria gently takes it and has it fly forward (towards albedo). The meaning is clear. Maria acts a mentor, who helps Ruby leave the black phase and enter the white one. She gives Ruby the knowledge she needs to face her "trial of fire":
Maria: The light will only work in the presence of Grimm. Meaning the only practice you'll get will be a trial by fire.
TRIALS BY FIRE
Ruby faces her trial by fire in the climax of volume 6, as she fights the Leviathan:
Tumblr media
There she uses Maria's teaching and the relic of Knowledge to defeat her foe through her internal light. This moment is when Ruby and the group leave Mistral and the Black Phase once and for all. They are ready to face Atlas and the White Phase.
Still, this isn't the only trial by fire our Little Red Riding Hood has to go through. She struggles through a second one in volume 9, as she and the group leave the White Stage (Atlas) through the Yellow Stage (the Ever After), so that they can enter the Red Phase (Vacuo). Once again this passage is shown through the Splendor Solis.
There is a giant tree:
Tumblr media
A wise woman:
Tumblr media
Butterflies:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once again, Ruby is given guided by an older and wiser woman under a tree. This time she has to make a choice to go through a transformation. A process of death and rebirth:
Tumblr media
In volume 6 Ruby learns about her internal light, whereas in volume 9 she discovers her inner shadows. In volume 6 she is given knowledge, while in volume 9 she is offered a choice. At the same time, in volume 6 the Splendor Solis reference is focused on a single meaningful scene, while in volume 9 it is more pervasive and present throughout the entirety of the season. In volume 6 the Splendor Solis comments Ruby's journey (the microchosm). In volume 9 this alchemical texts conveys RWBY's adventure (the macrochosm).
However, this isn't the only difference between the two transformative trials.
IDEAL AND REAL
Volume 6 has Ruby become an ideal:
Tumblr media
Volume 9 has Ruby grow into herself:
Tumblr media
Similarly, in volume 6 she latches on an idealistic idea of Summer (the Huntress), whereas in volume 9 she accepts Summer as a person (the Mother):
Tumblr media
This passage from ideal to real isn't something unique to our heroine's arc, but it ties to everyone's story. Here come two examples.
Jaune's arc
In volume 6 Jaune is inspired by Pyrhha to push forward no matter what:
Tumblr media
He wants to become more like Pyrrha, his ideal self.
In volume 9 Jaune is taught by Weiss to stop and accept a loss:
Tumblr media
He realizes he is good as he is, despite his flaws.
Chemical weddings
In volume 6, Bumbleby goes through their second chemical wedding, where they kill Adam. The focus of Yang and Blake's relationship is that both girls have to become "worthy" of the other:
And now I know I'm worthy of you (Oh can't you see, you could be with me) With every smile you told me, "I love you" (I am your dream, I love you)
They push each other to grow and to become their ideal selves. Yang has to overcome her anger and abandonement issues to stay with Blake. Blake has to stop running away to be by Yang's side. Their fight with Adam tests their progress on their respective flaws.
In volume 9, White Knight has their second chemical wedding, where Jaune dies and is reborn thanks to Weiss. Their bond is about letting go of childish fantasies (the charming prince and the beautiful princess) and to accept the other for who they are:
Weiss: I think you’re asking too much of yourself. We’ve been telling ourselves that failing means we’re no good. But I can guarantee even the best Huntsmen in history… they’ve all lost. But they were still incredibly brave… and good.
They let go of paragons and come to love their real selves with both strengths and flaws. Their conversation in front of the Genial Gems conveys exactly this.
Interestingly, Bumbleby and White Knight foil each other in another way, when it comes to alchemical symbolism.
Bumbleby focuses on death and separation. They represent the "solvet" part of the process.
White Knight is linked to rebirth and union. They explore the "coagula" part of the process.
To be clear, the solvet and coagula parts are present in both relationships. Yang and Blake go through destruction to come back stronger and more beautiful than ever. Similarly, Weiss and Jaune have to face death, so they can be reborn.
Still, the focus of BB's weddings is on death/destruction:
Adam cuts Yang's arm and impales Blake
Adam dies
Whereas WK's weddings climax in resurrection/creation:
Weiss is reborn
Jaune and Ruby are reborn
This is because the two relationships are complementary and illustrate different sides of the alchemical process. However, there is a third ship meant to embody both parts.
RUBY AND OSCAR = SOLVET AND COAGULA
Ruby and Oscar's wedding is kicked off by their first meeting, when Qrow (a bird) brings Oscar to Ruby and unites the Solar King and the Lunar Queen:
Tumblr media
Ruby and Oscar's wedding references the imagery above.
It is a union of opposites. The scenery of their first scene together has Ruby marked as fire and air, whereas Oscar is associated with earth and water. Moreover, both the moon and sun are present.
In general, Ruby is moon, silver, red and air, while Oscar is sun, gold, green and earth. They complement each other and are perfectly balanced. So, they don't need a specific focus on neither death nor rebirth because theis arcs are gonna explore both the solvet and the coagula. They are the whole.
This complementarity shows also in Oscar paralleling Ruby during the trials of fire.
While Ruby is talking with Maria and going through an internal transformation, Oscar goes through an external transformation (he changes clothes). Ruby connects with Summer (coagula), while Oscar is free from Ozpin (solvet). Both their transformations are tested in volume 6 climax, where Ruby grows into a leader (macrochosm), whereas Oscar grows into himself (microchosm).
While Ruby struggles with herself in the Ever After, Oscar struggles with Ozpin in Vacuo. Ruby separates her perception of the self from Summer (solvet), whereas Oscar is merging with Ozpin (coagula). Ruby is in a fantastical world symbolic of the inside (microchosm). Oscar is in the real world, which is going through big changes (macrochosm).
Right now, Ruby and Oscar are bound to meet again through Raven (another bird), which might kick off their second alchemical wedding. Not only that, but Raven herself might play the part of the Nevermore, as she wears a Nevermore mask and her name alludes to The Raven, Poe's famous poem and the inspiration for the Nevermore Grimm. If so, this meeting might be Rosegarden nevermore wedding, which for RWBY ships is about overcoming grief and death through love. Another declination of solvet and coagula.

Connecting Tears.
Part 1: Ren Confronts Jaune
Papa Arc: Any suggestion on how to separate my idiot son and Summer's idiot daughter?
Ren: We might not have to resorts to such drastic measures yet.
Papa Arc: In case you didn't know I just saw my son and Ruby naked in the same bed! I think something drastic is what we need right now.
Ren: You don't have to tell me. I saw both them showering together.... *shudder*
(My loyal followers knows what Ren is referring to. 😜)
Papa Arc: Sweet founder...
Ren: Yeah I know I'm just going to ask him some questions first before we decide to break them apart.
The Next Day...
Jaune: Hey Ren, I seen your message on my scroll. You looking for me?
Ren: Jaune the reason I called you here is because I want to ask you.
*sigh*
Are you in love with Ruby?
Jaune: W-what? This again. I told you already I'm not in love with Ruby!
We're just friends!
Why do you keep asking me this?
Me and Ruby are nothing like that.
In fact Ruby doesn't even see me like that.
Ren: *sigh*
Okay. Let's say I believe you. That you and Ruby are just friend.
How would you feel if Ruby decides to one day date another man?
Jaune: !!!
(Ruby Dating another man?)
*imagining Ruby in the arm's of another man*
Tumblr media
*starts tearing up*
*sniffs* I-If that is what Ruby wants then *sniffs* then I as her best friend will give them my blessing and wish for her to be happy.

Blake: Oh Ruby~
Ruby: What is it Blake?
Blake: *giggle* You like Jaune don'tcha?
Ruby: *roll eyes* Sure Blake...
Me liking Vomit boy.
Wow, very correct, much speculation.
At best I just see him as my dumb older brother and at worst as a golden retriever.
Blake: *Gagh!* (Right in my shipping heart) B-but I keep seeing you and Jaune together a lot lately. Clearly there must be something going on with you two? (Please, please let there be something!)
Ruby: Silly kitty.
There's nothing going on with me and Jaune.
While it's true that I enjoy being with him.
I mostly used my time to talk about games and comics with him.
And I can't deny that he gives the best headpat I ever received.
We're just friends. That is all.
Blake: *grrr* If you don't ask Jaune out. Eventually he's going to be taken away from you by another girl. Do you want that to happen, Ruby?!
Ruby: (Jaune with another girl?)
*imagining Jaune giving headpat to another girl*
Tumblr media
I don't like it...
Blake: Nya?
Ruby: I like Jaune as a friend and if he finally have someone asking him out then it's good for him, but when I Imagine him being close to another girl. I can feel my chest starts to tighten for some reason. I don't know what caused it. But I will still be happy for him. But for whatever reason I can still feel something hurt inside of me.
It hurt..
I don't like it...
I know it's wrong...
But he is my friend...
And I want him to be happy...
Even if It's not with me....
Blake: NYA!!!!!
Tumblr media

Grimm arc.
Jaune sighed as he knocked on the door of the only people who would help him right now.
"Coc? Velvet? are you there? I need some help please!"
Jaune said his normal clothes not fitting him anymore. His shirt ripped in multiple spots, his pants hugging his skin tightly, his bare feet touching the ground with no shocks or shoes do to his new size he out grew them quick. His once blond hair now reduced to a plar white with golden highlights tips, his blue eyes now a mix of red and faded blue. His hair itself had grown in length as it reached down touching his sholders.
Coco: *Opening the door since SOMEONE keeps knocking* Yeah yeah what's the *see's Jaune* ... *Sigh* Come on in.
Jaune: *in his onesie which is the only clothes that still fit him* Thanks Coco, i knew i could count on you to uh... Fix my problem. My last normal clothes kinda... Bursted during my training.
Coco: Yeah, that's fine. You know, you are lucky i bought new clothes for Yatsu this weekend. With how tall you are, they might fit you perfectly... At least until we go to the store.
Jaune: *remembering the dance* Speaking of, i'm going to the dance with Cinder and-
Coco: WAIT! You scored Cinder? *Mumbling* damn i wanted to try my shot... *cough* Anyway, i figure the dress you were planning to use for the dance won't do, right? *Sigh* You are a needy client Jaune.
Jaune: *scratching the back of his head* Eh eh, sorry.

Siblings of the Storm
Pyrrha was worried, and rightfully so. Jaune Arc her team leader. Her partner. her secret crush was acting off. He was not being his normally good natured goofy self. He was being subdued, almost if he was expecting something unpleasant to happen. In short he was not being the young man she was falling for.
"Jaune is something bothering you?" Pyrrha asked while wringing her hands with nervous energy. The pair were taking a walk along Beacon's gardens. Just a little trip to be away from everyone else for a little bit.
"No, I feel great Pyr!" Jaune asked taking a look at Pyrrha. His brows furrowing when he noticed her nervous nature. "I should be asking you that. What's up Pyrrha?"
"It's not..."
"Pyr... I can see something is bothering you. You can tell me." Jaune gave Pyrrha that disarming smile of his "I'll always be here for you."
"Ah... um... it's just that... huh"
"Pyrrha?"
"You don't seem yourself."
"What? Of course I'm me! Who else would I be?" Jaune smirked and tried to laugh off Pyrrha's comment, but he suddenly stopped. His smile vanishing, as the a gentle breeze began to blow.
"Jaune?"
"Joan..." Pyrrha help in he gasp of shock at the hardness of Jaune's once deep and loving azure eyes. "Why are you here?"
"To settle the score..." came a female voice off to their right. "You ran before we could..."
"I left, that means you won. You are the one..." Pyrrha turned to face the voice, and found herself basically looking at a female version of Jaune.
"You know..." the gentle breeze grew in strength becoming a slightly gusting wind. "... that's not how it works!"
"It is now!" Jaune snapped as he stepped away from Pyrrha, a grimace on his face. "I'm done with the competition! You've won!"
"NO!" The wind picked up further, and began to buffet the area, and while Pyrrha had to brace herself against it's growing strength... Jaune and Joan didn't. They both stood there as if nothing was happening. "We PROMISED each other to see this through!"
"So what?" Jaune snapped. "You tracked me down just to continue our stupidity? We we're children! Stupid immature children!"
"It doesn't matter!" Joan shouted back as the winds truly grew vicious, tossing about debris, and forcing anyone like Pyrrha who was outside to brace themselves lest they be bowled over. "Yes we were kids, but we've always known!"
"Jaune?" Pyrrha tried to yell, but her voice was stolen by the cutting strength of the growing winds.
"I'm won't..."
"I'm not winning like this!"
Pyrrha stumbled backwards as a golden light enveloped Jaune and his apparent twin sister...
Tumblr media Tumblr media

"Jaune?" Pyrrha stuttered out as she did her damnedest to stay close by, let alone standing.

If interested please DM him
Nora: How was your Valentine's Day?
Jaune: Um... Normal.
Nora: You didn't ask a girl out?
Jaune: No...
Nora: Why not?
Jaune: Because no one is interested in me?
Nora: What?! How is that possible?!
Jaune: Trust me, it is possible.
Nora: Not on my watch! *Leaves*
Jaune: Hey! Where are you going?! *Sighs* Whatever, it's not my problem.
The next day....
Jaune: *Reading a book*
*Ting!*
Jaune: Huh? *Checks his phone* An unknown message?
*Ting!* *Ting!* *Ting!*
Jaune: More?
*Ting!Ting!Ting!Ting!Ting!Ting!*
Jaune: What the?
*TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!TING!*
Jaune: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!!
Momentas later
JNPR's Room
Nora: *Playing games on her phone while lying in bed*
Jaune: *Shows up* *Angry* What did you do?!
Nora: Do what?
Jaune: You know very well what I mean. What did you do?!
Nora: I seriously don't know what you're talking about.
Jaune: I'm talking about this!
Jaune shows his phone, still being bombarded by messages from unknown numbers.
Jaune: Why do I have a bunch of strangers asking me on a date?!
Nora: *Excited* Really?! That means that my post worked!
Jaune: *Confuse* What post?
Nora: This one!
She selects something on her phone and shows it to Jaune.
"Do you want a Man that has abs? Do you want a man that can cook? Do you want a man that is literally the dream house husband?! Well look no further.
Jaune Arc, the only son of the Arc Family.
Let's talk about features: - Power: No - Money: No - A car: No - Great confidence: Nope... but he has a humongous dick that makes up for everything else.
Let me tell you a story. One day I entered the bathroom without checking to see if anyone was there using it. And when I did it, he poked my eye. "With what?" you might ask. I think we both already know answer to that.
You can present him to your parents, to your sibling who never stops bothering you that you are single and alone, to your weird creepy uncles, to your gossiping fat aunts, to your racist grandmother who no one dares to tell her to stop saying rude things, because for some reason everyone is afraid of her. And I can assure you that all of them will change their ways when they see what a good boy this man is. God damn it! Everyone will want to protect this golden retriever of a person!
Good boy Approved!!
Things this man is old enough to do: - Vote: Yes - Consent to Sex: Yes - Becoming Huntsmen: HE IS ALREADY A HUNTSMEN!
This man has history. He's seen some shit. He has done "things" for his friends. He has killed for his friends. He will not judge you like other people.
Interesting facts: - He is a good boy on the outside, but he is a beast on the inside~ *Wink* *Wink* - He is an Arc, so he is designed for breeding. - He holds the record for most boxes of cereal consumed in one day!
What more can you ask for?!
Look...
Let's face the facts. He may not be the most beautiful person in the world, but you aren't either (I mean that's why you're still single). So stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your mom about that "guy" you met at the supermarket. (We both know that's a lie). He may be too good for you, but he's really desperate. So send him a message and try your luck.
Jaune Arc 206-XXX-XXXX"
Nora: What do you think? Very cool, right?
Jaune:...
Jaune: Am I a joke to you?

A funny little idea that popped into my head with the bunny knight posts.
Rabbit faunus Jaune introducing his 'daughter' Juniper(small faunus version of the jackalope) to Velvet and her family
Little BunBun
Jaune was in the midst of a mission in a small village that had recently been attacked by, Grimm. Jaune, and his team had managed to defeat the, Grimm with minimal damage to the town. But, they were combing through the town checking the destroyed, buildings for any survivors, or if there may still be some, Grimm lurking about.
Jaune: Guys? How’s everything going; Any survivors?
Ren: None so far.
Nora: Found one! Pyrrha, give me a hand!
Pyrrha: On it!
Jaune: Need help?
Pyrrha: Don’t worry, I got him!
Jaune: Okay.
Jaune continued to walk through the town when he stopped abruptly, he heard some rustling in nearby bush. He raised his shield, and pointed his sword towards the sound. He slowly creeped forward, hearing the bush rustling more until it stopped when he came close. He bent down to look at the underbrush. And, saw something he didn’t expect.
Jaune: Oh… Well, hello there.
~~~
Jaune: So, yeah. That’s how all of this happened.
Velvet: Oh, that so sad…
Lulu: I can’t believe this could possibly even happen.
Ilaria: It’s more common than you may think… The same thing happened to me when we were younger.
Rumi: I have the scars to prove it.
Silk: And, it happened to this innocent child as well?
Lily: So… W-What’s her name?
Jaune: Oh yes, say hello to my adopted daughter, Juniper Arc. Say ‘hi,’ Juniper.
A small faunas girl slowly peaked out from behind, Jaune’s leg, before darting back behind his leg.
Jaune: It’s okay, Juni, they’re alright. Just like gramma, grampa, and all your crazy aunts.
The girl slowly appeared from behind, Jaune’s leg, and nervously waved at the, Scarlatina family.
Juniper: H-Hi…
Tumblr media
Ilaria: Well, hello there sweetie, my name is, Iliara, it’s nice to meet you~!
Juniper: Hi…
Lulu: She’s so cute~!
Lily: Oh~! I want one~!
Silk: She’s already got eight aunts… What’s wrong with one more…?
Velvet: How about another sibling instead~?
Rumi: This is… giving me ideas…
Iliara: You look hungry, do you want something to eat dear?
Juniper looked at them before darting back behind her adopted fathers leg. Jaune could feel her shaking nervously against him.
Jaune: Sorry, she’s scared around other people because of… Because of stuff.
Silk: What stuff?
Jaune: Stuff.
Lily: Best leave it at that.
Jaune: Give her some time, and some space, and she’ll warm up to you all eventually. So long as you don’t do what my mother did…
Velvet: What happened?
Jaune: Well…
~~~
Juniper: SHE’S. SO. PRECIOUS!!!
Juniper, Jaune’s mother squealed in delight as she hugged her first grandchild. She didn’t care if she was adopted, all that she cared was that she finally had her first grandchild, and that she was absolutely adorable.
Everyone was adoring watching, Juniper embrace her new grandchild, except for two people; Jaune who knew, Juniper, his daughter, had anxiety issues when it came to other people, and Juniper, the child, who was in the midst of said anxiety issues as she frantically tried to get out of her overbearing grip on her.
~~~
Jaune: Yeah, she started to hide behind something whenever mom got too close for comfort.
Ilaria: Oh my.
Jaune: So yeah, please give her some space, and time.
Lulu: Can do!
Rumi: I’ll make sure the others give her some space.
Silk: I gotta take a photo of this!
Lily: Awwww~! The way she clings on to him is so precious!
Velvet: She’s just a scared little bunny rabbit.
Ilaria: She reminds me of you girls when you were her age. A whole litter of scared little bunnies. Ahh, you were so adorable.
Jaune: Yeah, she is a… Hmm? What is it, Juni?
Jaune bent down to look into the eyes of his daughter after she pulled at his pants leggings. Looking into her beautiful golden eyes as she cutely stared at her adopted father.
Juniper: Dad, i’m hungry.
Jaune: Alright, lets get something to eat dear.
Jaune picked up his daughter, and held her in his arms, and turned to address the, Scarlatina family.
Jaune: Sorry, ladies. The little lady is hungry. We’re going to grab something to eat. We’ll catch you all later. Say, ‘goodbye,’ Juni.
Juniper: Bye.
IRVLLS: Awww~!
They waved back at the little girl as they watched the father, and daughter duo leave.
Velvet: That is the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen.
Silk: I always had a feeling, Jaune would be a great father. And, he took to it like an eagle flying in the sky.
Lulu: Hey… Uhh…? D-Did any of you feel a sort of… throbbing feeling in your gut?
Lily: Now that you mention it, I kinda did.
Rumi: So did I.
Silk: Are we sick?
Velvet: I knew there was something off with that casserole we had yesterday!
Ilaria: Oh don’t worry, I know what this feeling is, I’ve had it before myself.
Silk: You have?
Ilaria: Oh yes, numerous times in fact.
Velvet: Then what is it?
Ilaria: A desire to do some baby making~!
Lily: WHAT?!
Lulu: That was my womb throbbing then?
Velvet: Did seeing, Jaune with, Juniper really do that to us?
Rumi: Dips.
Silk: Di…?! Fuck!
Lulu: Wait, are yoy two going to… with the aim of having his kids?!
Silk: I want to be a mom, and, Jaune has already proven he will be one hell of a daddy~! So why not?
Rumi: I’m at that age where I want to settle down, and have a family. Who better to do that with than, Jaune?
Ilaria: Care to make that a threesome sister? Maybe we can give our hips a break of we tag team him.
Rumi: Ha! That’s not gonna happen…
Ilaria: I know…
///
What do you think of the art? I couldn’t find any good art of a jackalope anime girl. So I found a cute bunny girl, and tweaked it so she looked like a faunas version of, Juniper.
Which was a nightmare to do that on my phone. Couldn’t get anything looking right…
Art isn’t mine.

Mercury wasn't sure what the hell was going, but Cinder was currently engaged in a battle with that Arc kid, and he didn't know what kind of bullshit training 'Arc' he went through, but God damn it all he was pushing a 'Maidened' Cinder Fall to her limits and when she was pushed to her limits she got sloppy.
Precise attacks turned into tidal waves that would cause foes and allies alike to be in harms way.
Mercury kicked on of the Atlas soldiers away and into a building as just above them a gigantic fireball loomed over head like a crashing star.
Mercury looked at his old teammate Emerald, who had come here with Team RWBY and Nora, Ren, and Ozcar.
Mercury: In case you guys aren't aware, we have two titans battling it out, and Cinder is doing everything...*points to gigantic fireball* and I mean everything to kill him.
Team RWBY took the hint and immediately began to move, but Ren, Nora, and Oscar were conflicted. They didn't wanna leave Jaune to fight Cinder alone, but Mercury made a move to Emerald and N.R.O.
Mercury: Look, trust me or not, but we can get back to killing each other later, but right now, we need to hurry up and run.
CatJaune: No, you won't.
The voice sent chills down their spine as their standing, causing everyone to freeze on the spot as their standing between his two teammates Nora and Ren was Jaune.
His eyes a sinister blue cruel and curious, two cat eye slits on the side of his face underneath his eyes with two stripes going along the side of his cheeks. He wasn't even acknowledging his teams presence, eyes looking at the fireball.
CatJaune: I herby forbid every person in a 100-meter radius from moving until I say the word 'Now!'.
As he spoke, in a two toned voice, one of playful cruelness, the other a dying whisper, Cinders gigantic fireball grew ever closer.
CatJaune: Of course I'll kill anyone who violates that rule.
Jaune let out a raspy chuckle as he held out his hand and slowly began to bring them closer and closer, as if timing when the fireball would hit.
CatJaune: Not yet.
As his hands got closer and closer, so did the big fireball.
CatJaune: Still not yet.
As he said this, CatJaune activated his own aura just as the fireball was close to descending upon them.
Everyone could only look on and wait til given the order to move. They prepared their legs, activated their aura, and said a prayer as they felt the scorching heat from the Cinders attack begin to melt away at everything...thoughts began to fill fill their minds if maybe they wouldn't be able to move if their legs were melted to the concrete! Was-was this the end?
CatJaune: Now! *slaps his hands together*
Like a breath of fresh air, everyone jumped away as best they could from the attack, Nora looked back at her team leader, who just stood their as the fireball came crashing down onto him.
Nora: Jaune!
The explosion destroyed buildings and killed plenty unable to escape the blast zone or were just too weak to survive it.
The heroes, while able to escape the blast, could not escape the blowback or its heat, as Emerald, Nora, Ozcar, and Ren all hit various pieces of debris, causing their auras to take a good brunt of the hit leaving them down for the moment to recover.
Meanwhile, back atop flying Grimm Cinder Fall, sunk to her feat, as that last major fireball took a lot out of her.
Cinder: Hehahaha!
Cinder: All that talk, Arc, and for what *huff* for nothing ! Go enjoy the afterlife with your precious Pyrrha!
She was about to further taunt when she looked over the Nevermore to see an ominous golden glow coming from the ground, to which was then followed up by a mocking laugh which caused Cinder eyes to widen in shock.
Down on the ground, cracking his neck as if the attack he just tanked was nothing more than a crick in his neck, was CatJaune. He looked up and laughed at Cinders shocked face.
CatJaune: All that smoke and tantrum, for a simple tap, how disappointing a maiden like yourself should be stronger but what can i expect from power stolen *sigh* I'm getting less curious about you by the minute Cinder, in fact...the pale moonlights illumination makes it easier to see how pathetic you are.
That comment, that little comment, One which she has heard all her life and at those times, never ever effected her In any way, but too here this weakling, this nobody talk down upon her like she was trash.
No, she wouldn't have it. She would make this knight kneel and kiss her feet, and once then, and only then would she rip out his heart and feed it to him!
Activating her maiden powers, she flew up into the air, and in a rage, she decended upon her nemesis, fully intent on killing this cockroach of a huntsman!

What if Jaune Arc pass, and everyone else fails in the Initiation Test on Emerald Forest? There is a story about it.
WARNING: I went down a dark path for this story. If you're disturbed by unhappy ending stories, then this is your WARNING to turn away now.
-------------------------------------------------
Ozpin: Jaune Arc, as the only survivor of the Emerald Forest, you are permitted to attend Beacon Academy.
Jaune didn't respond. He couldn't respond. How could he? He'd come to this academy with pie-eyed dreams of becoming a hero, only to be stricken hard in the face with the reality that this was a school that taught one how to battle a merciless foe like the Grimm. He'd barely gotten to know any of their names as he watched them all die one by one.
The first one to die was the pretty one in white. She'd slip through his hands and he watched her fall to her death into the chasm. Part of him hoped that she survived the fall and would make it back to Beacon. That the board of more than a dozen red exes was a mistake made by the academy. But the more rational side of him wished it was painless.
Next was the girl much younger than him. As the Nevermore drew closer, it pierced her heart with it's powerful beak, spraying red ichor everywhere as she'd hung lifelessly on it's beak. The other blonde of the group roared in her rage and charged blindly into the demon bird, only for her wrath to blind her to the Deathstalker closing in on her, with one claw already holding the limp body of the girl who was to be his partner. A stinger removed those beautiful, golden locks after reducing the head to red mulch.
All that was left were him and the other three students who'd joined in the initiation. They all ran to the bridge, where they'd become cornered by the giant bird and scorpion. After the girl with the hammer had been knocked over the edge by a stray swipe from the Deathstalker, the dark-haired boy jumped after her. He'd been unfortunate to watch their bodies hit the rocks below.
That left him alone with the black-bowed girl to protect him. She'd managed to swing them both across the falling bridge to the safety of the tower. They climbed their way to the top, finding a cave leading into the dark. She'd stopped halfway through, tears in her eyes. Shaking her head, she spoke her last words. "I can't."
Before he could respond, he'd become deaf and blind from her final act in the dark.
Ozpin: Mister Arc? Did you hear me?
Jaune: ...Yeah.

Jaune laid on his bed, a comic of X-Ray & Vav, a cold soda beside him and the warm sunlight through the window. Today was one of the few times he had him personal time alone. Don't get him wrong, he loved his friends and team but growing up in a home of 10 people can leave a person, especially a young man, wanting some alone time.
Jaune sighed, feeling peace and tranquillity. Nothing could spoil this mo-
*BAM!*
*BANG!*
"Heyfearlessleaderyouwouldnotbelievethedayihaddidyouknowsapcanbereallystickyandhardtogetoutofhairifanyoneknocksdontletthemit!" Nora burst into the room, nearly breaking the door off its hinges and slammed the door the door just as quickly, speaking a mile a minute, not even stopping for breath as she started to move her bed in front of the door.
Jaune sat up as he tried to decipher what Nora had just said. "Nora-- wait-- slowdown, what are you doing? What did you just say?"
Before Nora could say anything, a thunderous pounding came from the door. "NORA, OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR!"
Jaune slowly turned to a sheepish Nora who tried to look innocent. "...If anyone knocks, don't let them in." Nora said in a high pitched voice.
Jaune gave another sigh, this one in mourning at the loss of his alone time. Jaune crawled over to Nora's bed which was blocking the door and gingerly put her ear up to the door. "Yang? It's Jaune." He said through the wood.
"VOMIT BOY! OPEN THIS DOOR!" Had Jaune's head been a few inches to the left, he would have had his head bashed in by Yang's furious whack on the door as it bent the wood slightly on Impact.
"Holy fu--" Jaune swallowed his fear and tried again. "Yang! I won't open this door if you attempt to hurt Nora. So unless you take a breath, calm down and promise you won't hurt Nora, I'm not opening this door and don't even think about breaking down this door because you and I both fear Miss Goodwitch more than I fear you." Jaune said.
A few tense seconds passed, Jaune wondering if Yang was too enraged to fear the threat of Glynda before he heard a deep inhale and exhale.
"I'm. Calm." Yang didn't sound too calm but Jaune had known Yang long enough to tell when she was willing to listen even when angry.
"And?"
"...I promise I won't permanently injury Nora." That was probably the best he was gonna get.
"Here goes nothing." Jaune muttered and moved the barricade out of the way and took a deep breath before opening the door.
Before him was a crimson eyed, flaming and seriously pissed off huntress-in-training who was glaring at him with crossed arms.
So far he hadn't had his face caved in nor been violently moved out of the way so that was a good sign.
Jaune motioned for Yang to come in which she did but Jaune made sure to at least keep himself between Yang and Nora. "Okay, can you explain to me what exactly happened." Jaune asked.
Yang glared at Nora as she spoke. "This fucking idiot got sap. In. My. HAIR!"
Jaune paused mand looked up at Yang's golden locks, not seeing anything wrong with it. "I don't see any--" Yang turned around and lifted up her hair to reveal the underside was stained and ruined with the red sticky substance.
"Oh." Jaune lamely said.
Yang turned back around and growled. "So either you ask Ozpin for a new member of your team or both Ren and Pyrrha are gonna need new partners." Yang gave her ultimatum and advanced toward Nora.
Jaune quickly got between the two again. "Wait! Wait! Waitwaitwaitwait!"
"Out of the way, Vomit boy." Yang set her eyes on Jaune now.
"I can fix it! Your hair! I can fix it!" Jaune said loudly.
Yang paused at his words before snorting. "Bullshit."
"No!" Jaune got in front of Yang again. "It's true. I've cut hair before."
"Pubic hair doesn't count." Yang scoffed.
"No, I mean I've cut my sisters' hair before. Our usual barber wasn't available anymore and they needed it done for a family photo. Ever since then I've been their hairdresser. I-i actually have my gear with me." Jaune explained.
Yang's eyes, still red with anger, looked at Jaune with scrutiny before she closed her eyes and gave another growl, this one not sounding as scary as before.
Yang walked over to the chair at the desk and dragged it back to Jaune before planting herself onto it with crossed arms.
"If I don't like it, you die before Nora." Yang left the threat hanging in the air as Jaune gulped loudly.
"S-sure. Nora, could you-" Jaune looked to find Nora had disappeared while he had distracted Yang. Jaune sighed again and went to get his scissors and such.
**Later**
Jaune nervously backed away from Yang once he had finished, waiting for Yang to decide his fate, so far Yang had kept her eyes shut, not yet seeing his completed work. "A-all done."
Yang took off the tarp that covered her and stood up. "Sorry, VB, all you did was give Nora a head sta-" Yang finally opened her eyes and saw her reflection in a nearby mirror. Her hair... wasn't ruined. If anything... it looked... Good! Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail but still kept her wild, fluffy like locks with her fringe untouched, the part of her hair that was ruined by the sap was cut off, with a 180 undercut that didn't look terrible.

Yang continued to examine her new hairdo and remained silent, turning to Jaune with an unreadable expression.
Jaune flinched back and closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to come.
Jaune suddenly felt a hand grab his collar and nearly cried out until a pair of soft lips pressed onto his.
After a few seconds, Yang pulled away and Jaune looked at her with wide eyes.
Yang smirked and winked. "Not bad. Lover boy. Maybe I should have you be my personal barber." She laughed and exited the dorm, hips swaying as she did, feeling more confident than usual.
Jaune stood starstruck and wondering what exactly just happened. But his mind couldn't move away from how soft Yang's lips were and how they tasted of strawberries.

I'm not artsy but I really want to see Jaune as a Jackalope Faunus with its golden eyes, really tufty ears and white and gold hair.
