I would second the RWBY Visual Novel just to get a better insight onto each of the characters' inner thoughts, beliefs, and background, though a pure novel would be fine as well.

The current state of RWBY is that they will release the most essential parts of the story, and strip away almost everything else because of budget, time, and performance constraint. They plan to amend this by releasing more complete versions in the future (by selling it, mind you), but ultimately, an anime was never accurate or detailed enough when discussing on the inner workings and thoughts of the world, character, and everything else in general. Very, very few have managed to achieve a state of quality that could actually match, if not even outdo a written work.

Literature is imagination as well, people.
