** Blake leaves the White Fang much earlier.

* StupidEvil: Once the news of Weiss being on the run spreads, Sienna Khan orders Adam to capture her, seeing a chance to strengthen the White White by blackmailing the SDC. However, [[spoiler:Adam's failed attempt to do so by attacking Beacon Academy ''infuriates'' Sienna, considering it heavily damaged the White Fang's reputation and mobilized the Kingdoms against them]]. Adam's utter refusal to believe it was a mistake leads to an EnemyCivilWar within the Fang.

* ForWantOfANail: Thanks to Weiss, either directly or indirectly, a lot of dominos start falling.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Since Weiss' memories only account for the events she can remember up to the end of Volume 7, Volume 8 and beyond aren't part of the story.

* ReluctantRetiree: Ozpin confronts Lionheart about his RegretfulTraitor status, and has him publicly announce his retirement, after which he's SentIntoHiding.

* BedlamHouse: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but the mental institution Weiss was stuck in for six years did her few favors. She was forced to take regular Aura-suppressant drugs after several escape attempts, she talks to hallucinations of her old teammates, and when the story starts she's made a RoomFullOfCrazy. Even after escaping, it takes some time for Weiss to wean herself off the drugs, and she still sometimes has difficulty distinguishing her memories from reality.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Weiss asks Blake one when she's captured by the White Fang [[spoiler:after their attack on Beacon]].

* SecretIdentity: To hide their true identities at Signal Academy, Weiss and Blake use aliases. Weiss uses the name Eira Wynn (Welsh for "Snow White") and Blake uses the last name "Briar".

* WreckedWeapon: Qrow's Harbinger gets shattered by [[spoiler:a Semblance-enhanced bullet from Adam]]. However, between his experience and Beacon's resources, it only takes a few days for Qrow to completely repair it.

Even after escaping, it takes some time for Weiss to wean herself off the drugs, and she still sometimes has difficulty distinguishing her memories from reality.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Pretty much the whole world, [[EvenEvilHasStandards including most of the White Fang]], is appalled by [[spoiler:Adam raiding Beacon in an attempt to capture Weiss, since the Academies are responsible for training Huntsmen against the Grimm. In addition, [[PragmaticVillainy Sienna]] condemns him specifically because attacking the Huntsmen so openly united the Kingdoms against the Fang]].

* SanitySlippage: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Weiss' time in the asylum didn't completely make her lose her mind, but it, combined with having all the future knowledge imposed on her, didn't do her psyche any favors.

* BadassInDistress: In "Shadows, Part 6", Winter's transport got shot down in combat, with her being saved by Pyrrha.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Blake ends up leaving the White Fang years earlier than in canon, as she sees Adam's true character due to [[spoiler:the attack on Beacon]], as well as a personal appeal from Weiss.

** Adam is stripped of power and rank because of [[spoiler:his very public assault on Beacon Academy]]
