History Fanfic / RemnantOfAWorm

* CuffsOffRubWrists: Taylor tries to do this after Ozpin unlocks the cuff on her but only manages to wave what's left of her other arm around.

* DoppelgangerAttack: Taylor's Semblance seems to be similar to Sun's in that she creates an Aura-based duplicate of herself, but hers apparently just repeats actions that she's already taken. Ironically, though she's yet to realize it, this makes it incredibly similar to Leviathan's water clone.

* DeathSeeker: Taylor suppresses a flare of resentment towards Ruby when she realizes Ruby was the one who save her.

** The reason why Taylor came at Cardin [[GroinAttack much stronger than she intended]]: what he did to Jaune with the locker "really pissed [her] off".

* DoppelgangerAttack: Taylor's Semblance seems to be similar to Sun's in that she creates an Aura-based duplicate of herself, but hers apparently just repeats actions that she's already taken.

* BladeBelowTheWrist: Taylor's new arm has a blade in the wrist she names Stinger.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13098315/1/Remnant-of-a-Worm Remnant of a Worm]]'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' and ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' crossover, where a post-Khepri Taylor is dumped on Remnant by Contessa. There is also [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13334156/1/Remnant-of-a-Worm-Omakes a list of omakes]] and a Spacebattles thread [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/remnant-of-a-worm-worm-rwby-post-gm-taylor.692024/ here]].

* NotSoDifferent:
** Taylor and Blake are both dark-haired introverts with a [[BadassBookworm taste for reading]] and [[HeroicSelfDeprecation self-loathing]] tendencies stemming from their respective DarkAndTroubledPast. They both also happen to be investigating the White Fang's activities on their spare time. Taylor gains Blake's trust by telling her about her own criminal past, making her realize the similarities with hers (both were in it to try to help people, both eventually left to join the side of the law, and both have regrets about the way things went and want to make up for their past actions).
** Ozpin mentions seeing a lot of himself in Taylor, which he finds "both incredibly concerning, as well as comforting". Taylor on her end, despite being wary of his chessmaster tendencies, sympathizes with him on the topic of how annoying dealing with politics can be.

* EmotionlessGirl: Due to her habit of channeling her emotions through her bugs, Taylor seems like this for most people. Yang and Ruby point out that they've never seen her smile and Goodwitch worries about how tightly she's bottling herself up.

* BerserkButton: Taylor's is bullying, more specifically anything that reminds her of what she went through herself when she was in Winslow:

** After beating all of team CRDL in defense of Velvet (anti-Faunus racism being another thing that rubs her the wrong way) and reiterating her warning, she also tells off the rest of the onlookers for falling victim to BystanderSyndrome.

** The reason why Taylor [[BullyHunter came at Cardin]] [[GroinAttack much stronger than she intended]]: what he did to Jaune with the locker "really pissed [her] off".

** When she then comes to Ozpin and Goodwitch to face the disciplinary consequences, she expresses her displeasure at not only team CRDL's behavior, but also the failure of Beacon's staff to address it properly, leaving the students deal with it. Both teachers notice how furious the entire situation made her, [[TranquilFury despite her apparent lack of emotion]].

* BerserkButton: Taylor mentions to Cardin after [[GroinAttack beating him into submission]] to [[BullyHunter deliver her warning]] that his locker prank on Jaune "really pissed [her] off" (unsurprisingly, given her own history).

* NotMeThisTime: Taylor thought for months that Contessa was the one who dumped her on Remnant. While she asked her for advice, it was actually the Fairy Queen, and not for some grand plan, either.
