-Wolf or Fox Faunus. i don't know why the heck of all kind of animals, people tend to pick either of these two. You would think after 3-4 volumes of Canon materials you would see people try to pick a more unique animal as a Faunus character? like... i don't know maybe spider, bear or Cougar or something? Because wolves and foxes are kewl. RWBY isn't even the only fandom that has a lot of people making part-wolf or part-fox OCs.

Years ago, I actually made an OC as a joke, trying to make her like the really cliched OCs. She was a wolf Faunus whose name essentially translated to Moon Moon. Her eyes were two different colors to make her look special. Her Semblance, if I recall, was controlling water, but she was too good of a person to use it to control people, since people have a ton of water in them. Everyone loooves her because she's such a good person and is so sweet. My only regret is making her actually really cute (I used an anime character creator to make a picture of her).

One thing I fear happening among RWBY OCs is that people might start doing that thing I used to see a lot when I was in middle school: OCs who are basically everything. Like, for example, you'll see someone whose character is an angel, demon, vampire, werewolf, fairy, soul reaper, neko combo. For RWBY, I could imagine a character who's a Faunus who's half-Grimm, a Silver-Eyed Warrior, and a Maiden. Or worse, add robot into that, so it's Penny, but with wolf ears, and also half-Grimm, with silver eye powers and Maiden powers... despite the fact that wouldn't make much sense.
