* AdaptationNameChange: Though it appears only rarely, Blake and Yang's names are put last-name first, eastern-style, similar to ''[[Fanfic/RWBYScars Scars]]''. In the case of Blake, her clan name, Hitoma, is first, while Yang is just literally Xiao Long Yang. Ruby's first name, given her reimagined Valen heritage, is changed to Rub'''i'''.

[[folder:Rubi "Ruby" Rose]]
The canon protagonist. Complete ball of sunshine and rainbows, like her mom. She is half-Mistrali, half-Valen, but she uses Valen naming conventions.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In this AU, she's a wolf faunus, belonging to the Hijimi Clan by birth, but raised outside of it. Similarly, her mother is a canid tail-bearing faunus of unspecified type.
* ChekhovsSkill: Of all things, this version of Ruby being a Cricket player in her youth comes up ''surprisingly'' often.
* FurryReminder: Subverted, as unlike similar wolf faunus Louve Hyacinth (See Original Characters, below.) and Blake herself, Ruby demonstrates almost no animalistic behaviors apart from her ears and fangs. This subtly implies that a lot of that is a learned behavior rather than instinctual.
** Despite that, she does growl softly at a few points.

* AbusiveParents: As in canon, Jacques is horrendously abusive towards her, up to the point of manipulating every point of her transition as well.
* ChekhovsSkill: During her trailer chapter, she's implied to be abnormally good at sensing using her Aura alone (a skill implied to be possessed by many Huntsmen).
* {{Cyborg}}: A very, very downplayed one, as she only has one very small "Hormone Regulation Implant", implied to play a part in her transition. During ''While We Fall'', it's explained that it's the brainchild of one specific researcher and an opt-in experimental program.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Heavily implied to hero-worship her grandfather as early as her trailer chapter, and some more of that is explored later.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: The absurdity of Weiss being able to actively fight in heels and a skirt is [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] here with the subtle reality-warping effects of a person's Aura. Weiss wanted to fight in heels, so her Aura adapted, extending her Aspect in that way.

Ex-White Fang and mutual spoiled rich kid with Weiss. For the first few chapters she appears in, it's not very clear that she's changed all that much from her canon incarnation, up until she appears at Beacon and isn't wearing a bow.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Slightly. She calls Weiss a transphobic slur in her native tongue during Chapter 13, [[ScrewTheRulesTheyBrokeThemFirst prompting Weiss to throw a racist slur right back at her.]]
* BloodKnight: Somewhat, even if a more coldly confident version of the trope. During a stinger scene in Chapter 13, she lingers and presents herself as distracted and vulnerable even as she completely knows Cardin is sneaking up on her.

* ProperlyParanoid: Unlike many other overconfident hunters, including Rubi Rose, on occasion, her Aura is ''always'' raised. In combination with her faunus traits and enhanced reflexes, she's almost never caught off-guard.

Has a snore that's described as "half machine gun, half wounded Grizzly bear".
* AdaptationalJerkass: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She's just angrier and more ruthless towards enemies and criminals. Around everyone else that's not in that category, she acts more or less the same. She also seemingly has a slight MoralityPet in the form of her little sister.
* TheBigGirl: As in canon, and it's mentioned during ''Apocalypse State of Mind'' that she has an Aura strength of ''24'', notably twice of what her teammates generally have.
* BilingualBonus: Peppers her (normally Valen and Atlesian) speech with Mistrali sayings and (most notably) curses, picked up from her dad.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: At some point between the events of Chapter 5 and Chapter 12 of ''Before the Whims of Fate'', ''Ember Celica'' was tweaked to include a pop-out crescent blade as an internal homage to Été Rose's kusarigama, ''Rose Thorn''.
