When I say "chemistry", I don't mean "Who came to Blake's rescue, who confronted Blake about her actions, who was there to help her or comfort her or talk sense into her."

I mean how they interact in the various scenes across different situations with different emotions. How they play off of each other.

In the initiation, what were the pairs like?


 * Ruby/Weiss - Arguing. A lot. Lots of conflict, Ruby didn't pay attention to Weiss on the battlefield and almost got a backside covered in fire, overall rough ground between the two. Even after the initiation, Weiss still has moments where she snaps at Ruby (Ruby: "Well, it is fall, so.. the air's probably colder." Weiss: "*Rolls her eyes and punches Ruby for being stupid*"). They still don't 100% get along, and maybe they never will. They have more of a sisterly-friends kind of bond.


 * Jaune/Pyrrha - Pyrrha looking out for Jaune, Jaune eventually stepping up to act like a leader and organize his future teammates against the Death Stalker, Pyrrha going along with Jaune's idea of going into the cave (even after voicing her thought that that's not the right place). Kinda says: Jaune needs help, Pyrrha follows to help him, but Jaune knows how to lead and strategize.


 * Ren/Nora - I'm not sure how to sum it up other than with what it was: Childhood friends.


 * Blake/Yang - Blake jumped in and took out the Ursa that Yang was about to fight, and how did the two interact with each other? Blake: "*Smirks at Yang*" Yang: "*Casual voice, actually not at all angry that Blake stole her kill* I could've taken him." When they found the abandoned temple: Yang: "Think this is it?" Blake: "*Gives Yang an 'um, duh' look*" and then Yang: "How 'bout a cute little pony?!" Blake: "*Smiles and shrugs, rolling her eyes in amusement* Sure."

Just the way they play off of each other in any given situation.

That said, I also see chemistry in Black Sun, with the way those two interact, as well. Even when Blake is in a cranky mood or doesn't react well to Sun's comments or jokes, Sun is chill enough to let it roll off like water on a duck's back. He seems like a very "Go with the flow, live life and have fun" kind of person (though, he is capable of getting frustrated, but hey, everyone is) and it makes a good counter to Blake's seriousness (she's capable of relaxing and having fun, but this is usually brought on by the people around her, not by ideas of her own). Come to think of it, Yang is also a "Go with the flow, live life and have fun" kind of person, but unlike Sun, she has an anger problem.
