So, I'm sure we've all noticed, at some point or another, instrumental versions of characters' theme songs being played in the background in the show. It seems like every once in a while, I notice another instance of it I didn't notice before. Let's see how many we can find!

Noticed by me, that I can remember at 5:30ish-5:40ish AM:

Episode 1; Ruby Rose


 * Introduction of the bad guy leitmotif, it seems.


 * A quicker instrumental of Red Like Roses plays when Ruby gets to the rooftop while chasing Roman.


 * Glynda seems to have her own xylophone leitmotif. It plays when she jumps in between Ruby and Roman's shot, and again when the hologram of her appears on the ship.

Episode 5; The First Step, Pt.2


 * Mirror Mirror, as Ruby starts trying to remember who else she knows and skids to a stop in front of Weiss. It continues until Weiss turns and walks away.

Episode 6; The Emerald Forest


 * Red Like Roses, while Ren was fighting the King Taijitu.

Episode 8; Players and Pieces


 * Bad guy leitmotif, of course, when it showed that small scene about Roman at the end.

Episode 14; Forever Fall, Pt.2


 * Not exactly a character leitmotif/theme, but I thought it was interesting: There seemed to be an instrumental to the tune of This Will Be the Day while Jaune was fighting the Ursa.

Episode 15; The Stray


 * Mirror Mirror, while Weiss was talking about the conflict between the Schnee family and the White Fang.


 * Once again, not a character theme, but still interesting: The beginning piano from Wings (episode 16's and the DVD's credits song) during the scene where Blake runs away and takes her bow off. The piano continues into the part where Ruby wakes up.

Episode 16; Black and White


 * From Shadows, while Blake was telling Sun about the White Fang.


 * Bad guy leitmotif during the extra scene after the credits.
