As the impending series features a group of 4, I am reminded of the pop-psychology personality types of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover (KWML ), with each of the four characters based upon a particular archetype:

- King/Queen: Nurturing & Logical (to rule effectively)

- Warrior: Confident & Logical (to tolerate and thrive in competition)

- Magician: Confident & Creative (thus bedazzling audiences)

- Lover: Nurturing & Creative (creating songs, poetry, and romantic acts)

Each of the 4 archetypes sits in a quadrant, of a Motherly/Fatherly (Nurturing/Confident) axis, and a Left-brain/Right-brain (Logical/Creative) axis, with types on the opposite sides of both axes complementing each other the most in terms of personality and skills (King with Magician, and Warrior with Lover) - basically, who completes whom, and who gets along best with whom.

This is hardly a new thing, with the KWML archetypes featuring in pop culture such as the A-Team, Sex & The City, and 8-Bit Theater.

Therefore, to fuel conjectures, we can spectulate as to the achetypes (and therefore personalities) of the RWBY girls:

- King/Queen:

Tentatively Weiss at this point.

Possibly Ruby: Being the apparent main character of the series, she may have a backstory tracing to royal blood.

- Warrior:

Possibly Ruby, judging by her noted confidence and perhaps relish in battle.

Possibly Yellow, judging by the subverted Damsel-In-Distress trope  from the Red lyrics (" Yellow beauty burns gold ")

Possibly Weiss,  judging by the ambivalent  Red lyrics ("White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test") - does the royal test mean that she *is* royalty? Or is she a knight?

- Magician:

If the beast-master speculations pan out, then this may be Black.

- Lover:

Possibly Ruby, judging by the symbolism of forlorn romanticism from the Red lyrics (" Red like roses fills my dreams, and brings me to the place you rest ")

Would love to hear your thoughts! owO
