      I will summon armies.
      Of wind and rain and snow.
      I made the black cloud overhead.
      The ice, like glass below.
      Not you, nor any other.
      Can fathom what is nigh.
      I will tell you when to jump.
      And I'll dictate how high.
      The ones that came before you.
      Stood strong and tall and brave.
      But I stole their dreams away.
      Those dreams could not be saved.
      But now you stand before me.
      Devoid of all dismay.
      Could it be? Just maybe.
      I'll let you have your day.

      I would like to add on to what makes Jacque more terrifying. This is a headcannon of mine so bear with me. I think Winter(if she is in this project) was the first successor to "Father", but she fell short of his expectations. So there would be talks about possibly passing her over as heir by other members of the Schnee family (Another headcannon would be since the Schnee family is a lot more older, they have a few sister branches of the family). Winter, who knows the terrifying and horrifying training that Weiss would have to go through, tried to run away with her, but unlike canon, "Father" caught them before they got out. He brutally punished her (I like to think he forced her to duel her, and didn't hold back) and now considered her a libiility and thus sent her away to be watched since he still has plans for her. Little dark, but this version of Jacquee is mostly likely based on Tywin from Game of Thrones, and we all know how he treats his kids.

    The writing of the psychology is astounding! The pressure from the legacy is strengthened by the physical object of the mirror, and puts another layer of meaning behind "Mirror, mirror". You're not only talking to yourself, nor simply another being, but all your family, asking advice from and reflecting upon the very thing that pressures you. Plus, the psychology behind the Schnee name isn't merely "We're rich, we're noble, and we're racist", it actually puts reasoning behind all the cold strictness, the need to lead in a nightmare of a world, the requirement to fight against monsters, is to become a monster yourself.

      Maybe she intentionally changed her accent from what I assume is the Atlesian Accent to a Valean one when she left to study at Beacon Academy. A great trick of acting and writing later down the line would be for her to slip back into her accent whenever she gets overly emotional or speaks to her father.

Given his status as nobility (or even royalty), it would not be strange for him to neutralize his accent toward something more diplomatic. Like how English became the trade language for most of our world. Weiss could then have done likewise as she aged.

Perhaps he wants people to understand him when he's speaking, but he also wants to remind them that he is a member of the Atlesian elite-and therefore, one of the most powerful people in the world, and therefore not to be trifled with.

There was a thing going around that Ozpin was supposed to be like Sephiroth, one of the most powerful people on the planet. I think this was before the Maidens were retconned into existence, back when Cinder needed to stockpile Dust. (Early V1, before they abandoned the Dust plotline in favour of the Maidens) I know that it was admitted after CRWBY pulled Oscar out of their butt, that Oz was never supposed to die like he did (This was nodded at in Shanes Letter, when he mentioned how OP Cinder was.) Oscar was created by CRWBY's when they couldn't think of a better way to bring Ozpin back.

    Already a better interpretation of Weiss and her Father relationship than in canon. Her Father is a Warrior and a true obstacle to her path to become who she really is, through considering that the canon really mess up with it being a company legacy rather than a warriors legacy.

      @inquisitorgarza312 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      I am still seeing the show, and though it is still good, in my opinion it would have been interesting to see this interpretation. It portrayed Weiss Father as a truly antagonist force like Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar the Last Airbender who uses their family legacy as a shackles and ball to keep Weiss in line, rather than a slippery businessman with loose moral values who doesn’t really holds any real amount of control to Weiss.

      @@eren34558 I am not saying that Salem replace Weiss Father, but change the legacy from a Company to that of a Warriors Legacy, you know in a series about warriors fighting against monsters, a corrupt company doesn’t seems to fit properly, and considering that Atlas is a powerful military the Schnee Family could have been its head or its leaders and it will make more sense. We still get Weiss as a girl who wishes to uphold her family legacy of being Atlas greatest warriors, but trying to find out who she is outside of her father shadow.

    The thing that I love most about this is that Jacques was in the same boat as Weiss.

    He is the reflection on Schnee legacy and what Weiss is suppose to become as well.
    This is so awesome and we this version of Weiss will probably be a badass fighter that can actually fight and *win* fights!
    Also that ending shot was pure perfection.

    This is amazing. I loved how your Alternate / Fanfiction Universe is going, I'd honestly love to see this side of both Weiss and Jacques. And don't take this as anything bad because personally I love alternate takes on stories, but I think you could've made this an original story (By that I mean non-RWBY) and people would've fell in love with whichever character you had here. I don't think people love it just because it's Weiss, but for the Character you and Toast are displaying. To be honest I have no clue who any of the voice actors / actresses are. But they are all super talented. Can't wait to watch more and see who your story unfolds.

    Alright, mini rant coming up.
    Me and my brother have had an hour long discussion on this topic, and we both agree. Weiss' cannon weapon is shit on its own. She needs a reliable ranged sidearm for maximum efficiency, and since Myrtenaster can be used with one hand a pistol would be perfect. Our Idea (mainly my brothers) is a revolver that is magazine fed. What I mean is the actual bullets are in the magazines that go in the handle, like a regular current era pistol, but they don't have a specific dust type. The actual dust is in the revolver chamber, meaning she can switch what type of dust bullet she fires without reloading. this way she gets maximum efficiency as well as versatility. Who likes this Idea?
    EDIT: Alright I realized I didn't specify that we aren't saying to get rid of Myttenaster, we are saying she just need a secondary for reliable versatile ranged damage
