    • Now, who did this idiot think he was talking to with that foul mouth of his in such an insulting manner? This school year was going to be tedious if that blond idiot was going to be one of Weiss' classmates. Narrowing her eyes, Weiss watched carefully as the class suddenly turned quiet, the whispers disappearing as they stared at the foul mouthed barbarian basically foam at the mouth.


    "WAS IT YOU BIG LIPS?!" The angry dog barked at a much taller student, who seemed confused. It was way too early in the morning for this fool to be screaming. Ignoring Kyouka and Mina's concerned glances, and drummed the fingers of her left hand against her desk, as if she was slowly playing a piano. The dog also wore the UA uniform, yet it looked differently on him compared to the other guys that were seated around the class. He looked like a thug.


    "SHOW YOURSELF ASSHOLE! I ALREADY STOPPED BY THE OTHER CLASSROOMS SO I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!" The little ball of rage was becoming even more annoying. Still, acknowledging him would be accepting the insults he had thrown out.


    "Yo! Chill out dude-" The red haired boy with Mina started to speak when the dog basically exploded, spouting out words that Weiss would prefer not to repeat again. Still, it wouldn't do well if Weiss allowed him to verbally attack others because he was searching for her. She spotted Glasses moving towards him, and she wasn't about to let others fight her battles for her.


    "I believe that you're in the wrong classroom. I wasn't aware that UA had a villain course." Weiss' dry voice sliced through the air. The whispers immediately returned, along with some giggles from her female classmates, Mina being one of them. Kyouka only stared at her with wide eyes, and started shaking her head. The yellow haired boy also stared at her, thought a bit more confused.


    "What did you just say?" The dog suddenly turned his attention toward her. His eyes widened slightly, but they turned into pinpoints as he didn't lessen his glare. His voice was harsh and rough, but Weiss had dealt with far scarier people and creatures.


    "Your eardrums must've burst from how loud your annoying shouting sounds. Let me say it slower so you can understand me with that neanderthal brain of yours, if you even have one." Weiss returned his glare with one of her own. "You. Are. In. The. Wrong. Classroom. Villain courses are down the hall by the exit. In fact, just leave while you're there."


    The dog stomped over to her desk, bumping into Iida and another student with a crow head.


    "And who do you think you are, Mirror Bitch-" The dog seethed through clenched teeth, an ugly snarl on his face.


    "DON'T CALL HER THAT! SHE'S A GODDESS THAT MUST BE RESPECTED AS SUCH-" The short purple-ball haired boy from earlier started screaming, ready to launch his short body at the savage dog. He was held back by another boy with a mask that went up past his nose, one of his large hands covering the smaller boy's mouth. Hmm, he also seemed a bit familiar. Perhaps from the same entrance exam?


    "You ask, but you already know who I am." Weiss said a bit too smugly. His last comment basically confirmed that he had heard of her. "Weiss Schnee, future pro hero, and…" She felt a smirk form on her face.


    "The one who ranked first in the exam. Now can you please move to the side? Your breath stinks." Weiss started digging into her backpack and pulled out a 'Schnee' sponsored piece of gum and held it out to the dog. "Here, but please brush your teeth next time. You need to take care of your health." She added a fake sweet smile, but her glare never left her face.


    The dog only snarled, knocked the gum out of her hand, and started walking away, back to the front of the class to check the seating chart most likely.


    "What a waste." Weiss muttered as the whispers returned. Hopefully the others would think twice about approaching her now. Dealing with annoying teenagers was going to be such a hassle. The fallen gum quickly disappeared in a blur of purple, causing Weiss to sigh. It seemed that she had an obsessed fan here. That was going to be rather unpleasant to deal with later.


    By now, small groups have formed around the class, mostly. There were a few stragglers such as herself, the half-white half-red haired boy, the dog, and the crow boy that the dog bumped into earlier. Hopefully their homeroom teacher would arrive soon so they could head to orientation. A few more students trickled in, such as another blond boy with a more feminine face when compared to the dog, and a student with a tail. It looked different compared to the tails the Faunus had.


    Weiss released a sigh, but didn't allow her mask to crack. Why was everyone taller than her? She ignored the lecherous stare from the purple buffoon who took the fallen gum. Well, almost everyone. This was already going to be annoying, she could already tell.


    "Take your feet off of that desk right now!" Glasses shouted, swinging his arm like a robot, staring accusingly at the dog, who was finally seated. "It's the first day of school and you're already dirtying school property! Don't you know how many pro heroes have sat in these very desks!?" The door slid open.


    "Shut up Four Eyes! Your old school shoved a stick up your ass! Or were you already born with it!" The dog shouted in return, he seemed like he was going to say more, but he paused when he caught sight of who stood on the other side of the door. Well, it wasn't any of her business what those idiots did. Hopefully she could keep her distance and-


    The green haired boy that took out the Zero-Pointer took a step into the class, with a girl with brown hair next to him. Gripping the side of her desk, Weiss took a deep breath.


    His eyes kept flashing silver.


    Ruby…


    A/N

    I finished this bad boy early so I decided to post it. I can't wait to show everyone Weiss' hero costume! The sketch and color sketch alone are fantastic pieces of art, and I am tingling just thinking about it.


    I hope everyone has a wonderful day!


    Question of the day:


    Who do you think got sent to General studies?


    Till next time on Schnee: Hero or Huntress!

    The guy who can weld anything to anything. Frankly, he would actually be very useful in the Support Class, being able to molecularly fuse objects to each other with his Quirk.

    Also, I wanted to answer the old question of who else from Remnant could show up, and in my opinion, the only other candidates for that would be Amber, Pyrrha, and Vernal at the current moment if we assume that little time has passed since the battle of Haven, but if enough time has passed, you could also add Clover, Watts, and Penny to that list, due to the requirement seeming to be 'is dead'.

    I honestly hope Mineta just gets a swift boot up the arse about his attitude, with some counselling + education about the dangers of objectification and misogyny. The whole pervert shtick is one of the worst things about MHA.

    Probably Koda he is pretty useless.

    And I'm sure Mineta will get better , his character development won't be stopped like in the show.
    I bet he has Weiss shrine xD lol
     
    Hopefully Toru can get some invisibility-capable clothes too.

    Also lol. Inb4 Mineta setting up a Weiss shrine is actually what prompts the counselling and kick up the booty.

    I forgot to mention it before, but Weiss's hallucinations are back and, if anything, they're weirder than before.

    Initially, I wasn't sure if they were meant to represent some combination of PTSD and homesickness or if they were hinting at something else happening in the background. When Weiss mentioned they had stopped after being on Earth for a while I took it as evidence that they were the former and I was happy to see them go. Now they're back and I'm less sure.

    While we might know that Ruby and Midoria have some similarities, Weiss has seen almost nothing to hint at that connection. During the test she saw him gormlessly standing around, before severely injuring himself in a headlong attack against an opponent he didn't need to fight. While that might have worked out for him in the end, aside from the injuries, it's a far cry from Ruby's natural leadership, tactical approach, reliance on teamwork, and infectious cheer. If anything, what she's seen so far paints an image that's closer to an early Jaune.

    But, again, we know there's more going on and that, while Midoria does lack most of Ruby's personality, he does have a similar head for tactics, a natural tendency to inspire others, and a strong desire to help people. So, are the hallucinations being caused by something external; something that knows more about Midoria than Wiess and is capable of making the connections she shouldn't be?

    Personally, I do hope there's more to the hallucinations than just PTSD. They're a bit to intrusive, both in universe and narratively, for me to really be comfortable with finding out there's nothing more to them, even before getting into the weirdness with Midoria.

    • Hallucinations were the bane of Weiss' existence. Ever since her arrival into this world, they had been there. Either the food reminded her of Mistralian cuisine when she ate out with Yu, her guardian's eyes turning a beautiful lilac. Studying with Jirou led to hers turning amber just for the briefest moments. Mina's would sometimes alternate between silver and Nora's blue, but eventually the blue became more commonplace. Still, the hallucinations had lessened the last few months, but they were still annoying and they caused her to freeze up. Yu didn't know about these hallucinations, which was good. She would probably suggest going to see a therapist, and that was the last person Weiss wanted to see. She didn't need therapy.


    Weiss could handle this by herself, no need to bother others with her problems. Yu already had enough on her plate, and Kyouka and Mina had no idea about Weiss' past. They wouldn't forgive her for lying to them, she was sure of it. Keeping her mask intact, Weiss took several deep breaths as Glasses started talking to the Green boy. She could handle dealing with the hallucinations, but Weiss wasn't ready to face the silver. It's why she kept talking to Mina despite the initial glimpse of silver, it changed to Nora's blue the next time it happened. Silver was too painful, if she ran into Green hair again and it kept happening, she would have to avoid him at all cost.


    Glasses and Greeny both started talking, but their voices were too low, she couldn't make out their sentences. By now, the class was starting to filter into their seats, talking to those around them. Class should hopefully be starting any minute now, so the homeroom teacher could take them to the orientation meeting.


    The student that the dog called 'Big Lips' sat on the desk in front of Weiss. Now that was going to be rather annoying to deal with. From what she could see, Mina and Kyouka sat closer to the front in the same row, with someone Weiss couldn't see thanks to the enormous pile of muscle in front of her. A frog faunus sat behind Mina, with Glasses' stuff on the desk behind her. Thankfully the desk to Weiss' right was empty oh no-


    That green haired boy better not be sitting next to her. A glance to her left showed the Half-White and Red boy, who kept glancing at her rather awkwardly. 'Momo' sat on the other side, which made sense. She was easily the tallest out of all the girls, while Weiss was easily the shortest person in class, apart from Ball Boy.


    The brown haired girl that was near the door screamed, staring at something that was out of Weiss' vision. Suddenly, a giant yellow caterpillar hopped through the classroom's door? It unzipped, revealing a tired man with a light unkept beard with long hair. Dressed in black clothes, only the grey scarf around his neck stuck out. Was that Qrow?


    "It took you all eight seconds to quiet down. Time is limited when you're a hero." The tired hero said as he stepped out of the sleeping bag. Well, he seemed competent enough so far, and he didn't stink up the room with the smell of alcohol so he already had a point over Ruby's uncle. The man gaze the entire class a lazy stare, though seemed to focus too much on Weiss for her liking. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota." The man yawned softly. "It's nice to meet you."


    He looked like he would rather be lying in a ditch somewhere in Weiss' opinion, but at least it seemed like he knew what he was doing. He suddenly reached into the sleeping bag, fumbling about for a bit before revealing a white, red and blue outfit.


    "I know it's sudden, but put these on and go out onto the field." He threw one at Green hair. Did he sleep with that in there? That seemed rather creepy if he was going to make a student wear that.


    Weiss was already regretting calling him competent.








    Standing in the amid her new classmates dressed in their blue UA gym uniforms that had a U stacked on top of an A, Weiss didn't like where this was going. Standing as far away from Glasses, Purple Ball guy and the dog as possible, Weiss waited intently on their instructor who stared at them all passively.


    "We're going to have a Quirk assessment test." Mr. Aizawa said casually. What? The schedule said that they were going to the orientation for all first year students! Skipping such an important event for an unscheduled test left a sour taste in Weiss' mouth. Even Beacon had an orientation with Professor Ozpin giving a speech.


    "What?! But what about the orientation? And the entrance ceremony?!" The cute brown girl who was a inch or two taller than Weiss said. Well, at least someone else was thinking what Weiss was thinking.


    "Heroes don't have time for such frivilous matter." Mr. Aizawa countered with a bored tone as he turned his back to the class. Well, he does kinda have a point, and it would make sense.


    If everyone here were huntsmen and huntresses-in-training. Most spent years at combat academies before even thinking about applying to one of the Four Academies. Weiss herself spent numerous years honing her skills with Myrtenaster and her glyphs. Ice skating, ballet, and fencing, all implemented together to perfect her fighting style. By the time she applied to Beacon, Weiss was skilled enough to take on a small pack of Beowolves.


    The most not even half her classmates may have been involved may have been a school brawl here or there.


    "UA is known for unrestrictive school traditions." Mr. Aizawa turned his head slightly. "It's also up to each teacher on how they want to teach her class." Weiss didn't like the sound of that, but it should be manageable. The man pulled his phone out, showing some list. "You guys have done stuff like this since junior high right?"


    He started ranting about some physical test that needed to be done without quirks. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Weiss. "Weiss, you placed first in the practical exam correct?"


    She gave him a firm nod. "Yes sir."


    "In junior high, what was your top softball throw?"


    "My what?" Weiss never allowed any emotions to show on her face, even as the dog glared at her.


    Mr. Aizawa sighed softly and rubbed his forehead. "Just throw the ball with your quirk."








    Not even a few seconds later, Weiss found herself standing in the middle of a circle with markers off in the distance, a ball in her small hands.


    "You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle." Mr. Aizawa said. "Now hurry up, show us what you got."


    Briefly glancing at the ball in her hand, Weiss took a deep breath. If she had her gravity Dust, she could easily use her glyphs to make it float in the air. She would have to be smarter now. Like a bounceboard, she could use the glyphs to funnel the ball through the air, until it went far enough to pass. Feeling her aura strengthen her body, Weiss threw the ball, and immediately formed glyphs for the ball to go through, causing it to go farther. It took a bit of concentrating, but she managed to do it, willing the last glyph away as the ball fell to the ground.


    "One thousand meters." Mr. Aizawa showed the class his phone. Green Hair immediately started mumbling quickly rather loudly. "This is how I'll measure your foundation as a hero."


    "Go Weiss!" Mina shouted with a large grin on her face. Shutting down any pride that was trying to form inside, Weiss politely bowed her body slightly.


    "This is going to be so much fun! We can use our quirks as much as we want!" A boy with weird elbows said.


    "Fun? You have three years to become heroes, are you gonna have that attitude the whole time?" Mr. Aizawa smirked. "If you guys say so, then whoever comes in last for all eight tests shall be expelled!"


    What a load of bull-


    "Teachers are allowed to do whatever they want with their classes." Weiss could feel the sadistic energy radiating off of her new teacher.


    "Welcome to the UA hero course!"


    A/N

    Another one has been completed early. I'm probably going to take a break for a few days or so. Not feeling well.


    Question of the day:


    What do you think Weiss' hero moniker should be?


    Till next time on Schnee: Hero or Justice!
     
  • Threadmarks
    • Ok, so. I thought hard about Weiss's hero name. There's lots of elements to consider when it comes to naming her. In no particular order they include:

    -- her personal white-dominated visual aesthetic
    -- The "snowflake" aesthetic in her glyphs
    -- a connection to her Atlesian background, which RWBY seems to mix both Russian and German elements into.
    -- her personal passion for the arts and creativity
    -- her reputation in Japan as a musician
    -- probably more if you dig deep enough (such as holding her self to such high standards of excellence in all her pursuits)

    Trying to link as many of these as possible, I think her name should involve crystals somehow. Snowflakes are ice crystals, and are perfectly symmetrical structures of my memory isn't failing me. Crystals and gemstones are often used in artisan craftwork and resonate with sound vibrations, so can tie into the music that way. Throw a German twist on it to represent her Atlesian heritage, and you get something like

    "Kristallin, the Resonant Hero."

    • Mr. Aizawa had said that there would be about eight physical tests, and since Weiss already did the softball throw, that meant she only had seven more to do. Perhaps she should have used all of her strength when she threw the ball, and continued using her glyphs to make it go farther, but what was done was done. Besides, at least she managed to hide the true extent of her abilities. Only those who attended the same Battle Center as her may have an idea, but even then that physical exam didn't require her to go all out. As a celebrity, many people were interested in learning about her quirk, which led to quite a few interviewers asking about it. Naturally, Weiss was prepared and changed the conversation. She didn't need some nerd trying to dig deep into her aura and glyphs. Even the best lies or half truths could eventually unravel.


    For her next test, Weiss was up against the Brown haired girl who arrived with Greenie in the fifty-meter dash. Stretching her body as she touched her toes, Weiss gave the slightly taller girl a glance. She was touching various parts of hee uniform and shoes, her hands glowing pink for just a few seconds. What was her quirk again? Weiss should have paid attention to the others' quirks during the entrance exam, in case they happened to make it into the same class.


    She narrowed her eyes as she stood up to her full height and stood at the starting line. Myrtenaster wouldn't be needed for these tests, but her excuse was that her beloved blade helped her to channel her glyphs. She would have to definitely downplay her abilities, but she wasn't going to let herself lose. She was a Schnee, not an idiot that was going to throw matches. Weiss was too prideful, she already knew that of course. She had more experience fighting than any of her classmates, and she spent over half of her life training.


    Weiss wouldn't lose against these children. Getting into her ready position, with the Brown Hair girl following her lead, Weiss narrowed her eyes again. That was starting to become a habit. Maybe that's why hardly anybody approached her after her confrontation with the dog.


    "Ready," the Droid-Speaker-Camera announced. Weiss started channeling her aura, forming small glyphs on the sole of her running shoes.


    "Get set…"


    Once she launched she would form more on the ground to increase her speed. Ballet, fencing, ice skating, and the various other exercises she did on Remnant were done for only one reason, to make sure that her body was optimized for her fighting style. And while she may have been reverted to a fourteen-fifteen year old, Weiss didn't spend the past couple months just sitting on Yu's couch.


    "Go."


    Weiss immediately launched herself forward, forming a line of glyphs that led straight to the other end. Using the momentum from her launch, Weiss' body glides slightly above the ground the first couple meters, before her feet landed on hee glyphs, using them to slide straight to the finish.


    "3.10 seconds."


    That was decent enough. Only Glasses was faster than her, but that was with his quirk being primarily based on speed. If Weiss had access to her Dust, she could have been faster. It would never hurt to have a few tricks hidden up her sleeves.


    "7.15 seconds." The Droid announced as the Brown Haired girl finally caught up, though seemed a bit out of breath as she was running. That immediately disappeared as she started grinning.


    "Yay! I'm faster than I was last year!" She smiled and turned to Weiss. "Wow! You were so fast, it looks like you can do a lot of things with your quirk!"


    Why was she looking at Weiss like she was a normal person? Only Mina, Kyouka, Yu and the Detective who Weiss hasn't seen in a while looked at her like that. Was she playing dumb, or did she not know who Weiss was?


    "Thank you." Weiss turned on her heel and walked towards the rest of the class while Mina and the girly blond boy started getting ready for their turn.


    Time to observe her classmates' quirks.


    Ruby would have been able to win easily.







    The second test dealted with grip strength. Now while Weiss wasn't as physically strong as say Yang or even Blake, she wasn't a slouch. Being able to hold onto Myrtenaster for hours while in combat took a lot of strength and energy, and her aura should allow her to perform decently in this test.


    Holding the device in her hand, Weiss squeezed the handles tightly, her aura enhancing her strength. The machine lit up with a number on the screen.


    'Two Hundred Kilograms.'


    Yang could have done better.








    The next test was the standing long jump, which was rather easy. Weiss just used her glyphs to stay in the air until she went a bit further past the sandbox. While her goal was to hold back and do enough to rank well enough on the list, it did make her feel better to see the dog basically froth at the mouth whenever she outperformed him.


    The side jumps were just as easy, with Weiss forming a glyph on both sides of her, which the Purple Ball boy seemed to copy, but managed to do at a slightly quicker pace. At least he knew a good idea when he saw one.


    The distance run, seated toe-touch and sit-ups were rather boring, if not disappointing. Her ballet and ice skating training ensured that she was flexible, able to push the little metal board to the maximum, and perhaps a bit more if there wasn't another piece blocking it.


    Now Weiss was standing in the heat with her classmates, waiting for everyone to finish the ball throw that she had done earlier to demonstrate. She stood off to the side, away from the cliques that had formed. Mina stood with the Red hair boy, while Kyouka seemed rather close to the Yellow hair boy that seemed to follow her around. She would have to tease them about that later, and tell them to stop glancing at her like they were doing right now.


    "Do you think he's actually going to expel someone, Miss Weiss?" Weiss heard someone approach her. Turning her eyes slightly, she spotted 'Momo' coming to a stop right next to her. Her quirk was actually pretty useful in Weiss' opinion, the ability to create something out of her body could be invaluable in any field. She could probably even recreate Dust, but whether that would work could be anyone's guess. Still, it could be worth a try in the future.


    "Of course not. He's just attempting to scare us." Weiss scoffed as Mr. Aizawa exchanged some words with Green boy. "This is the Hero course, not General studies. Calling this fun would be an insult to all of the hardworking pro-heroes that have graduated from UA."


    'Momo' nodded slightly. "I was thinking the same thing." She turned her gaze towards their classmates to the side of them. "I wonder how many of them fell for it."


    "From what I've seen, most of them do." Weiss replied dryly. Green Boy seemed rather nervous as his arm started to glow weirdly. Oh, was he going to do the same thing he did to the Zero-Pointer-


    The ball exploded into the air, yet that wasn't the thing that surprised Weiss. She had rumors that his quirk was rather self destructive during the other test, but she certainly wasn't expecting this.


    What kind of power caused his finger to turn brown and swollen as if it was broken?

    I haven't seen a RWBY crossover that focused on Wiess on her own.
    Yang, Ruby, and Blake, but not Wiess.

    I think it's mainly because so much of her character is bound up in the context around being a Schnee.

    Though she's done an admirable job of putting herself right back into that box.

    This. Deciding to read a fic is not a big decision for me. I'm constantly scouring here, SB. QQ, and royalroad for new things to read. Sometimes if I get truly desperate I wander into the forsaken pit that is fanfiction.net.

    A better question would be what made me decide to KEEP reading after my intiial exposure to it. Not every fic is that lucky.

    You know, I actually think she could have gone faster, even without Dust. If she used a glyph as a backstop and launched herself off of it, like when she bounces between glyph walls to hit someone at multiple angles, we've seen her go Ruby-fast in short bursts. She could probably have done the whole dash with just one or two "boosts", touching down on angled glyphs partway through the track.

    She probably doesn't usually do that because it leaves significant air time. Straight line ballistic arcs, not great for maneuvering. Also might not be great for endurance? Who knows!

    But then, if she's keeping things in reserve, I doubt she'd have shown off like that anyway.

    Thanks for the chapter!
