Alright, finally got the free-time to see the Character Short.....I'll get updated on this thread's current discussion in some minutes, but first I'll post my thoughts:

-The upgraded Maya art-style makes things have more....depth. It mkes them look better, but the contrast with the earlier style makes Ruby and Weiss seem uncanny a bit.

-I notice the whole first half of the trailer is a call-back to the Red Trailer. Ruby walks through a forest, alone, (finally) hiding her face under the hood, stands in front of a cliff, then fights multiple Beowulves. Even the camera angles during said walk, and the music style in the fight, felt similar to the trailer's.

-....I thought Ruby's Semblance was Speed, not Storm of Roses. Moving fast and erratically while cloaking herself is one thing, but practically turning into petals? Does this mean a Semblance can evolve into a very-different Semblance?

-And most importantly: ...The hell is wrong with her cape? It's almost like it's alive.

-Beringel: Best Grimm so far. Strong, tough, and knows how to work around the Beowulves's uselessness.
