 * Ruby


 * Weiss


 * Blake


 * Yang

 * Pyrrha (added after seeing the volume 2 opening)


 * Ozpin


 * Cinder

 Secondary Characters (lots of screen time but limited or no background OR lots of background, little screen time) 


 * Nora


 * Ren


 * Sun


 * Penny


 * Roman


 * Emerald & Mercury


 * Junior, Melanie and Miltia


 * Adam

 * Penny's sponsor/creator

 Tertiary Characters (very limited screen time and/or depth of characterisation) 


 * Cardin


 * Sun's team


 * Velvet & her team


 * Glynda


 * Parents of other primary characters
