Ruby Rose
Ruby's appearance changed multiple times during development, and three of the previous versions of her normal "battle outfit" look have been shown to the public.
 * Monty has confirmed that Ruby is left-handed. However, she is seen wielding her weapon with her right hand just as easily. Monty has stated that it is "common to switch both hands while fighting, especially to make it interesting."
 * Early designs for Ruby were set aside and later used for Miltiades Malachite, one of Yang's foes in the "Yellow" Trailer.
 * Ruby's lines in the "Yellow" Trailer were recorded after her lines in Ruby Rose. Her voice sounds different in the "Yellow" Trailer because of the way Lindsay delivered the lines.

The lower half of the first version Monty made is almost identical to the final version. Overall, the black color of her clothing and hair appears to be lighter than the final version. She wears a black blouse with some sort of thin horizontal strip of red fabric on the chest, possibly the top edge of a pocket. (Something about the way the ends of the sleeves flay out and stuff.) The top portion of her cape encircles her neck, resembling a thick scarf, and it appears to have a hood.

Volume 2 Production Diary 2 showed a colored version of a piece of concept art that had been previously released. In this art, her hair has taken on a red color, and she is wearing a light gray (off-white?) long-sleeved shirt with thin red ribbons around the wrists. She wears a black corset that has shoulder straps that cross in the back, and the front middle of it is red with black criss-crossing laces. Her cape is attached at the shoulders and appears to have a hood. (Around her neck is some kind of black collar thing.) She is wearing an ammo belt diagonally across her torso. Hanging from her skirt are a few chains on her left side and two metal crosses in the front toward her right. Her boots lack any laces whatsoever.

In the "Red" Trailer, she is wearing the same outfit as her final version with only two differences:

Concept art of three different designs for Ruby's pajamas has also been released.
 * The metal buckle on her belt is a cross instead of her scatter rose symbol.
 * The top of her cape encircles her neck, narrowing in the front. In the final version, her cape attaches at the shoulders with cross clips.

The first design features Ruby wearing a pale pink, short-sleeved, hooded sweater with three large white buttons down the middle and a pair of small, triangle-shaped ears on the hood. For her bottoms, she is wearing a pair of short, black shorts, and she wears a pair of thigh-high pale pink and white striped socks with black patches on the heels and the tips of the toes. With this outfit, she is carrying a Beowolf pillow.

The second design more closely resembles the design that made it into the show, with only one difference: The third design is a pale pink onesie with three large black buttons down the middle, a pair of pockets that each have a black button, and a hood that has a large, white poof ball on top. The onesie has a pattern of light pink clouds, pink scythes, and yellow lightning bolts. On her feet is a pair of dark pink slippers, each of which has a small, white poof ball on top.
 * Instead of light pink roses, her pajama pants have light pink hearts and heart-shaped Beowolf heads.

It appears that one possibility that was considered, was for Ruby to simply wear an oversized short-sleeved shirt.

(Is this too much? Should there be a gallery instead of placing the images along the right side?)

Weiss Schnee
The original concept art of Weiss was revealed through a photograph of an old doodle. In it, Weiss is wearing a short, white and pale blue dress and a white and pale blue bolero. The collar of her bolero curves in close to her neck. Around her waist is a belt-like article with a pouch on the back. She is wearing a silver necklace with a small pendant. She is wearing a pair of white high heeled boots, each with a strap around it. There appears to be a line down the outer side that may indicate a hidden zipper. The far edges of her bangs curve along the sides of her head, while the rest sweeps to her left. It appears that her ponytail curves up and then falls.
 * Weiss was originally planned to be right-handed. Monty was left-handed and had fencing training, so he decided it would be easier to animate her fighting if she was left-handed, as well.
 * The "Snow Angel" nickname Jaune gave to Weiss was spawned during the same improv session where the crew decided Jaune should have an infatuation with Weiss.
 * Originally, all of the Dust in Myrtenaster was going to be red but still have different effects. This is because Monty felt that a rainbow of Dust would clash with her outfit, while red matched really well. In the end, he decided it would be better to color code Dust. (Should we wait to add this until someone can find the citation for this? This is gonna drive me insane.)
 * In the original Volume 1 Opening Storyboard, Weiss is shown practicing with Myrtenaster in a room full of dummies, while a mysterious figure watches her from a nearby doorway.

Between the two drawings of Weiss are a couple of doodles that resemble snowflakes.

Another piece of concept art resembles Weiss' final design more closely. She is wearing the same outfit, with only four differences:


 * Her sleeves have black tear-drop beads dangling from the ends


 * The front of each boot does not have a silver design


 * The metal circles on her bolero are gold instead of silver

Her physical appearance has the following two differences:
 * The pendant on her necklace appears to be a tear drop instead of an apple.
 * Her bangs are parted in the middle.
 * She does not have a scar on her left eye. Instead, there is a beauty mark under her left eye.

This appears to be the stage at which Monty began considering changing her to being left-handed, considering the presence of the "left handed?" note.
