User blog:WeissSchnee/Character Blog: Yang Edition

Today’s late edition of Character Blogs will be all about. . . Yang!



To start things off, there is one very important difference between Yang and the other members of Team RWBY (and no, I’m not talking about the size her boobs.  Honestly people, minds out of the gutter). Unlike the others, Yang seems to love fighting, not just have a talent for it. The longer she fights, the more fired up and stronger she becomes. I will be very interested to see what role magic plays, if any, in her flaming hair.

Yang has so much self confidence, which almost borders on cockiness, as is evident with the way she struts into the club where she probably shouldn’t be, the way she interacts with Junior and the way she almost regards fighting as a game, seemingly not worried at all about getting hurt.

Whether or not she is a bounty hunter remains to be seen. She may simply just be trying to locate that one girl (who Monty confirmed is NOT Blake) or the girl may be someone she was hired to find. If she is a bounty hunter, I think it would be safe to assume, given her confidence and combat ability, that she would be relatively successful at her job.

Now, onto her relationship with Ruby. I think until we actually see the show, there will be some debate as to what kind of sisters they actually are. I for one think they’re adoptive sisters, with Yang’s family having adopted Ruby when both the girls were very young. I think perhaps Yang is the older sister, but that perhaps she was the one always getting into trouble with Ruby being the one that had to help her out of it.

Yang, besides being quite talented in using Ember Cecelia, also appears to have quite substantial speed and physical strength, as well as the colour drain ability which seems to increase her strength even further. Like Blake’s “After Image” technique and Ruby’s ability to disappear into rose petals, wether this is dependent on magic remains to be seen.

I think Yang will be the upbeat member of Team RWBY and maybe even the one that brings them together for their mission. Every now and then, people need a little ass kicking to get into gear, and I think Yang is just the one to do that for her team.
