User blog:Gundam Legilis/Mountain Glenn In Depth - The characters

Hello everybody!

Ironwood apparently mistrusts Ozpin... again. Goodwitch this time around, shows a lighter, more comforting side of herself, which at least gives her another dimension to her other than badass strict professor.

Weiss, Blake, and Yang continue their character development from last time. Weiss wishes to reform the SDC from her father's "amoral" grip, by becoming a Huntress. I don't know how being a Huntress could possibly help, because being an heiress, she could have just taken that job in Atlas with special privileges, risen up to the ranks of CEO, overthrow her father, and cleanse the company from the inside out. Blake claims that she ran away often, from the time she abandoned Adam, to the time she ran after her identity as an ex WF member and a Faunus was revealed. Even her semblance was designed towards running away. Now this is interesting. Yang is more of a thrill-seeker, expecting surprises at every turn, unlike Ruby, who was committed to helping others and being a Huntress from the start. Weiss declares that they have to protect everyone first, despite the fact that they are adolescents. This makes Oobleck smile.

Zwei demonstrates his abilities in tracking down the WF, and Ruby demonstrates how she is selfless, letting Zwei go on the surface. We also see a fundamental weakness in Ruby- She relies on CR so much, she uses it as her crutch weapon. Without it, she's useless. Add that to being unable to use her speed as well. The trick is finding a way to disarm her in combat and to restrict her speed. At least she isn't as OP as we thought.

Oddly enough, Roman is less racist this volume, referring to the WF members by name, and recognizing Perry by the sound of his voice alone, without adding a racist comment.

Oobleck knows about the history of Mountain Glenn well. The locals were decimated by the Grimm regardless whether or not they were on the surface, or underground in the subway tunnels. At least you know they were skilled enough to replicate the city underground.

Stay tuned for next time, where we talk about the writing.

Thoughts?
