User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author-Hiatus Edition: Pyrrha Nykos

 Hello and welcome once again to Author analysis.

Here is my volume 1 analysis

 She’s a star, the best fighter of her generation and may be the most believable character in RWBY. She has many layers that make it fun to analyze. Welcome to Pyrrha’s analysis.

 Personality 

 Pyrrha often seems to be less of a caricature and more like a well rounded person compared to the other women in RWBY.

 As with most people with exceptional talent, it is both a gift and a curse. She seemed to have grown up faster than most and has learned to handle situations in a much more adult way, with dialogue. She tends to think of others before herself and has a streak of self sacrifice that might come into play at a later date.

 She is driven to be the best and beating the best. I suspect there is a story behind it that we will learn in due time. She is the most intelligent student at Beacon, not just academically either. Despite her fame, it’s clear she didn’t have a lot of friends before Beacon as she seems rather novice in social interaction situations but she is learning fast.



 Fighting ability 

 Oh boy! Where do I begin?

 Her strongest suit is the manipulation of her semblance. The control she has on it is mindboggling. She can use it during a fight to make someone miss by millimeters without her opponent even noticing or can use it to propel a room full of soda cans with a lot of velocity.

 When she wields Milò and Akoùo, she becomes a whirlwind of attack, parry and thrusts. Her form is excellent and she doesn’t have a problem fighting at any range. The three forms of Milò cover all ranges.

 The way I gush about her, you might think she has no flaws but everyone does. Hers is her over reliance on her semblance. She uses it as a scalpel in combat and if for some reason she slips up, it might have dire consequences. She also plays by the rule thus she would be at a disadvantage against someone who simply didn’t care.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Plot 

<p class="MsoNormal"> As with Jaune, romantic affairs were the prime plot for Pyrrha EXCEPT for one suspicious scene with Mercury that reeks “establishing scene” for a future conflict.
