Ruby : I think she seems to be the quiet sarcastic type, the one who smirks at people behind their backs when they do something dumb (as evidenced in her fight smirking at the beowolves). I don't think she's mean about it, she just doesn't conform to 'polite' society that way. Probably why Yang likes her enough to call her sis. :) I don't think Ruby will be the leader (despite the anime convention that red is leader).  I also think Ruby has no lack of faith in her own abilities in any way shape or form, another reason her and Yang get along well.  I think Ruby might be the most sensible of the group though, she is the one who's balanced.  No angst eating at her, no fear, no self doubt, no resentment.  I think she's going to end up being the one to smirk her way into being the gyroscope that keeps the group centered and working together.

Weiss : I think Weiss is a very reserved and uptight type of girl. I think she doubts her own abilities, and I also think she doesn't like being in charge. Which of course means she's going to be in charge of the group. She's going to be the girl who tries not to make friends with the other girls, because she doesn't want to be hurt. She's probably had a long life of people pretending to be her friend because of her rank. She's probably not going to get along with anyone at first, and probably warm up to Ruby first, then Bella, and last Yang.

Bella : Bella strikes me as the lone wolf, the girl who does what she thinks is the right thing, even if it's against orders. I don't think she's going to be a good team player, at least not up front. I think she and Yang will get along good, given Yang's personality, but her and Weiss are going to be polar opposites. Bella's comfortable in her own skin, and she's probably going to think she'd do a better job of leading than Weiss, but will resent the fact that she can't because of her class/status (I think we'll find out she's of a second class type or background based on her lyrics).

Yang : Yang is a lot like Ruby, she's supremely confident in her powers, and she has no fear. On the other hand, I think she likes to fight more than Ruby, and I think she is probably overconfident, whereas Ruby strikes me as someone who knows her own limits. She likes to fight, likes it too much probably, and probably goes off half-cocked a lot. Her and Bella are probably going to have a love/hate relationship, in that they both tend to go off the reservation, and that will sometimes have them teaming up together to go against Weiss, and other times will have them going at each other's throats. I see Ruby stepping in a lot to resolve issues between the other 3. I also see Ruby rolling her eyes at Yang a lot and asking things like, how can such a good fighter be so dumb about everything else? :)
