Someone then changed it (on that page) to a different combination, with the edit reason: \\\"changed the temperaments for RWBY (each character is color-coded to one of the classical humors)\\\". However, they did not come over here and change this page accordingly:

* \\\'\\\'WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}\\\'\\\': Ruby Rose (sanguine), Weiss Schnee (phlegmatic), Blake Belladonna (melancholic), and Yang Xiao Long (choleric).

It doesn\\\'t help that fans cannot agree on which \\\'humour\\\' (and why) the girls fit. There are two different options listed above. Over on the [[WMG/{{RWBY}} WMG page]] (see Confirmed Theories section), people can\\\'t agree on whether this has been confirmed, or whether the girls each fit two or more of the temperaments and which temperament should therefore be assigned. It comes across to me as though the girls are trying to be shoehorned into this trope.

Assigning the girls based on colour-scheme (Ruby Rose (sanguine), Weiss Schnee (phlegmatic), Blake Belladonna (melancholic), and Yang Xiao Long (choleric)) doesn\\\'t suit their personalities at all. Describing Yang as unemotional and prone to taking leadership doesn\\\'t work. She\\\'d have to be described solely in terms of the negative Choleric traits just to get her to fit it and even then, only a couple fit. We also have no indications that Blake (Melancholic) is exceptionally perceptive, analytical, organised or self-sacrificing compared to other members of the team. She\\\'s moody... that\\\'s about it. Ruby may fit Sanguine better than anyone else fit the others, but Weiss can\\\'t be described as introverted or unemotional. She might be elegant, but she\\\'s very little else.

Assigning the girls based on the other cited option (Ruby Rose (phlegmatic), Weiss Schnee (choleric), Blake Belladonna (melancholic), and Yang Xiao Long (sanguine)) doesn\\\'t work much better either: Ruby isn\\\'t as extroverted as Yang or Weiss, but she\\\'s not an introvert either. She does have some shyness issues, she does initially struggle with the confidence to make friends, but that lasts only a couple of episodes. After that, she\\\'s pretty extroverted in her own right, and she\\\'s never unemotional. While she\\\'s compassionate, so are most of the temperaments, so that doesn\\\'t help narrow her down. Likewise, Weiss might be extroverted, but she cannot be called unemotional. She may be task-oriented, but she\\\'s also people-oriented. She does, however, fit Choleric far better than Ruby fits Phlegmatic. I\\\'ve already pointed out the problems with assigning Blake to Melancholic, and Yang fits Sanguine about as well as she fits Choleric (this time, positive rather than negative traits).

Even if one or two girls can be assigned to one or two of the temperaments, all four girls cannot be assigned to all four of the temperaments without shoehorning on the basis of cherry-picking one or two personality traits instead of considering each character in their entirety.
