Willow Schnee

Mrs. Schnee is the mother of Weiss, Winter, and Whitley Schnee and the wife of Jacques Schnee. A portrait of her was first seen in "Remembrance", although she has yet to make a formal debut in the series.

History
Before the start of the series, Jacques Gelé married into the Schnee family, taking the Schnee name as his own. He later took over the Schnee Dust Company after convincing the founder, Nicholas Schnee, that he would be the perfect successor when Nicholas' health began to fail. Later, he and Mrs. Schnee had three children: Winter, Weiss, and Whitley.

Her first daughter, Winter, studied to become a Huntress at Atlas Academy, and later joined Atlesian Military as a Specialist after graduating. Her second daughter, Weiss, left for Beacon Academy to study and become a Huntress as well. Mrs. Schnee's son, Whitley, is the current heir to the family company.

On the day of Weiss' tenth birthday, Jacques finally admitted to Mrs. Schnee that the only reason he married her was for the family name. Weiss suspects that her mother already knew this beforehand, but that hearing Jacque say it pushed her to the edge of her mental health. The two became more and more distant, with Mrs. Schnee taking to drinking, and closing herself off from the rest of her family, to the point where Winter had to take on a motherly role for Weiss.
