Guess I'll go as well.

Cinder: She's a shitty cardboard cutout. Like everyone says, we don't even know her motive. Literally when she was revealed in Amity Arena, that one description for her was the most backstory we got (something about jealousy of other people's power).

Neo: She has a lot of potential, I'm excited to see where she will go.

Emerald: I don't really have an opinion, but her defying thoughts are interesting. Seems like she's questiong her moral compass.

Mercury: His edginess and apathy are what for me, set him apart from other villains. I don't have anything special about him other than that, he's neutral for me.

Roman: Best villain by far. So good that he had to be killed off. (I mean, I completely understand why, it just still sucks.)

Tyrian: Some backstory would be nice, especially why he was interesting in Jaune in Volume 4.

Hazel: Again, backstory. But his calm personality makes him an interesting villain, as he especially has a moral code and his motive does actually make sense - he has a vendetta against Ozpin and feels that he was responsible for his sister's death.

Raven: Nothing really special; neutral.

Adam: Okay... unpopular opinion: I thoroughly enjoyed Adam's character as a villain. His thirst for power was fantastic to see, and his breakdown over losing the White Fang was refreshing. His devolvement to stalk and chase Blake does make sense; Adam lost the WF so he is going for the one thing he feels he can amend: his ex. Whether that's by killing her or what, he still felt that.

Salem: The most lore we got in a character. Very intriguing backstory, but her motive is a little unclear, at least to me.
