Before The Life and Times of Whitley Schnee:
When you were born, you were born in a house frozen as the emblem of your family. The Snowflakes, each unique in their shape and design, last for but a moment in the beautiful world, before reaching the ground to become part of the cold snow of the world.
But it was not always like that. When you were born, the family you lived in, the Schnee family was still full of warmth. The frostiness of the relationships that were just forming was just that, frosty, the relationships were not broken and burned, strained and destroyed by time, energy, and all the misunderstandings and mistakes.
And as you grew, you never really understood any of them. It was simple. Mom and Dad sometimes had arguments, but always stopped when you showed up, Klien was always there to help you and give you sweets, Winter was... aloof and never could look at you the same way as she did Weiss. Weiss was... quiet, and never showed much of her emotions to you.
But they were your family.
The Family that you would always treasure.
The Family, Dysfunctional and broken as it was, was never one without warmth and... kindness towards you.
It was as if they never wanted you to suffer as they had.
You found that the most in:
[]Winter: Your eldest sister was always aloof, distant, and cold towards everyone else, but she always warmed when you were around, and she always had the right words to say to you, no matter what. (Gain Trait: The Eldest's Wisdom)
[]Weiss: You were scared. It was something that was constant as a young little boy, and no one helped you with facing your fears of the dark. Not mother, not father, not even Winter. Only Weiss. And every time you went to Weiss' Room and knocked on her door, she answered. She always answered the door and let you in. (Gain Trait: The Simple Soul)
[]Mother: Your mother was not a good person. Not normally, from what you heard from Winter and Weiss behind your back, and from some of the group. You had heard she was a drunk, neglectful woman who was tricked into a marriage that ruined her life and her reputation. But whenever you were around, she stopped drinking... or at least in your presence. And she tried to be better. To be a mother who was worthy of the title. To prove she can change and be better. (Gain Trait: The Snowflakes Bravery)
[]Jacques: Your Father was ruthless. Cunning, a man who married into the Schnee family yes... but he was the driving force that made the SDC into what it was today. Yet even he had his soft side, and you were his darling little boy, his heir, the one who would succeed him when he was ready to retire. You didn't care about the... very ugly ways things were done... after all, you were his little boy. All you had to do was behave. And nothing bad would happen to you. No matter how cruel he was to everyone else in your family, and how much you pushed them all away. (Gain Trait: The Fawn)
[]Klien: The Butler, Servent, and confidant, was a shoulder to cry on. Winter was gone, Weiss was hiding in her room all the time, or at lessons... Your mother was drunk and your father was cruel. Everyone in this family didn't want to be with you... to help you. To see that a little boy wanted to have a family. But it wasn't a Family member that saved you. It was the man who was always there (Gain trait: Persona)
[]No One: Everyone abandoned you because they were too busy worrying about themselves. No one came to help the little boy who cried for love, for help... for anyone to help him. You were left alone. Alone to your thoughts. (Gain Trait: Shattered Snowflake)
[]Nicholas Schnee: You only had the paintings and the stories of him, guiding your every thought. him fearlessly leading expeditions, living a life of love and kindness. To see his name being used so... You wanted to know their wisdom. Instead, all you heard was silence.(Gain Trait: The Heir of the Snow)
When you were eight years old, your life changed, because your father wished for you to join your family's many social events, and needed you to... uphold the family name. You needed to be skilled to bring glory to the Schnee family.
[]You took up Fencing and Dueling: Your Father thought it would be best that you spent time with your sisters, in a way that would honor the Schnee Family Name. The training was very hard, and the tutor who trained you had little care for (Start with trait Duelist.)
[]You Began Piano Lessons: Your Father saw the Success of Weisses Career as a singer for the Schnee Charity Events, and sought to capitalize on that talent and win publicity of a duo of musically gifted siblings. You much preferred the Guitar... and playing Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, much to your father's disappointment and cringe. (Gain Trait: Musician)
[]You took an interest in the SDC Day to Day Operations: You wished to join the SDC as someone who can work, not just as a member of the family, but as someone who can change things within the company. And you did, with gusto, improving shipping capacity by five percent, and even impressed your father. (Gain Trait Administrator.)
[]Hosting the Family Gala's: your Father had high expectations for you to be a host, someone who could grasp the people's attention, to hold and mold it in your hands like puddy, with wine and song. Everyone knew you as a gracious host. (Gain Trait: Gregarious)
[]Reading Stories of the Past: You had heard stories of Grandpa Schnee and his many daring adventures and Escapades with Grandmother during his youth when the SDC was still forming. You just wished to be just like him. Brave, Daring, with someone to care about. (Gain Trait: Scholar.)
[]You Discovered your Semblance: For the longest time, you thought you were just... useless A Boy who could not use the family semblance, the one thing that defined you as a Schnee. And then, the Small Glyph appeared on your hand one morning, as you screamed in Joy. (Start with Glyph Semblance)
AN: Welcome Everyone, all, to a quest that has been created by myself and
@Always Late with one goal in mind.
Take our youngest Schnee scion, and then throw him on an adventure, to honor the Schnee Family Name, and become better than his father ever could be.
And Maybe Grow up a little along the way.
Yep. it's another one, but with La Chanson going into hibernation for a few months, and me finally getting more than 1 day off for the next few weeks... Well, I'm all ready to go back to RWBY.
