* ForWantOfANail: Thanks to Weiss, either directly or indirectly, Blake leaves the White Fang much earlier, Adam is stripped of power and rank because of [[spoiler:his very public assault on Beacon Academy]], Leo steps down with Ozpin putting him into hiding, and both Weiss and Blake attend Signal academy under cover identities.

* OddFriendship: The story focus on several, from Weiss and Blake, to Winter and Pyrrha later on, to Weiss, Blake and even [[spoiler:Amber]].

* OddFriendship: The story focus on several, from Weiss and Blake, to Winter and Pyrrha later on, to Wiess, Blake and even [[spoiler:Amber]].

* OddFriendship: The story focus on several, from Weiss to Blake, to Winter and Pyrrha later on, to Wiess, Blake and even [[spoiler:Amber]].

* OddFriendship: The story focus on several, from Weiss to Blake, to Winter and Pyrrha later on.

* ItGetsEasier: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] after Pyrrha saves Winter from her ship crash regarding all the death and killing soldiers are involved in.

* CrazyCatLady: Downplayed in that she isn't really crazy, but Maria lives on her own in Mistral with only a few cats as company.

* SanitySlippage: 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.

* EvilVsEvil: The [[spoiler:White Fang attack on Beacon]] leads to one between Adam's sect of the White Fang and the rest of the organization. To speed up Adam's capture, Sienna puts a bounty on his head which results in him and a group of his renegade White Fang fighting Roman Torchwick and Neo. [[spoiler:The latter win]].

''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/fighting-for-the-future-rwby-time-travel-fic.822176/ Fighting for the Future]]'' is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' PeggySue fic written by Gladsome Praetorian. The story follows Weiss Schnee who, after escaping from a mental asylum, seeks to ensure that the future she remembers does not come to pass.

* MentalTimeTravel: Neither Weiss herself nor her mind are actually sent back to the past, but rather her memories from Volume 1-7 are. It's also a major [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstruction]] as the memories overwhelmed the eight-year-old Weiss, and her subsequent attempt to arrest her father got her locked up in a mental asylum. In addition, by the time the story starts she has trouble recalling some of the less important memories.

* ItGetsEasier: Discussed after Pyrrha saves Winter from her ship crash regarding all the death and killing soldiers are involved in.

* BlackSheep: Weiss' "mental issues" have made her this to the Schnee family in the eyes of the public. Jacques threw her into a mental asylum not to try and cure her, but simply so she couldn't embarrass him.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Pretty much the whole world, 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]].

* ForWantOfANail: Thanks to Weiss, either directly or indirectly, Blake leaves the White Fang much earlier, Adam is stripped of power and rank because of [[spoiler:his very public assault on Beacon Academy]], and Leo steps down with Ozpin putting him into hiding.

* BedlamHouse: Heavily [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]], 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.

* TalkingToThemself: Thanks to her years in the Asylum, Weiss frequently imagines having conversations with her teammates in her head and responding to them out loud, either complimenting an idea "Ruby" came up with or calling "Yang" out on making a terrible pun.
