The Lake of Rage wrote: On an unrelated note: in one of my stories I'm working on, there are two relatively minor characters who are on a team with the main characters for part of the story. One of the minor characters is a Faunus; the other is a human (both are female, by the way). My question is: should the human character be a Faunus hater, or not? Either way is in-character for her, and the story takes place several years before the events of RWBY, when it's implied that things were even worse for Faunus (Blake did say that the White Fang's efforts got them better treatment, even if only through fear). Plus, I feel like it would be a little too convenient for the Faunus to end up with three humans who aren't bigots. And I think it would be interesting to write the relationship between the two as the human begins to begrudgingly respect the Faunus, even if they are only minor characters. But, at the same time, I don't want to create a scenario where the two main characters are on a team with the super mean and eeeeevil character who doesn't like Faunus. Also, even if we haven't seen a Faunus/bigot partnership, there's plenty of Faunus bullying in the actual show, as well as other fanfics, so it's not exactly a new idea.

Any advice? I think the human character should not be a bigot, but not supportive of faunus either. She could be less trusting/more cautious because she is a faunus but not pure hate. Basically she should be afraid of them due to all the lies likely spread against faunus. Thats just my opinion though
