Try not making it all about Rome. It's a problem I'm noticing; people are bogging themselves down in making every single tiny little aspect themed around the characters theme instead of looking at the personality and backstory they have and making a semblance that makes sense for the character.

Look at the canon characters; you don't see Goldilocks getting beaten up to deal more damage. You don't see Little Red Riding Hood super-speeding as rose petals through the forest. You don't see Snow White with a mis-mash of powers. You don't be Belle making clones of herself.

There's having a theme to build your character around, and then there's trying to literally port a personification of that theme into RWBY.
