I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?
”
—Winter, showing concern for Weiss
“
I see. So this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming.
We Schnees are unique. Unlike many, our Semblance is hereditary. But that doesn't mean it will come easily. Your Semblance is like a muscle. The more you practice with it, the stronger it will become. But if you only focus on one aspect of it, if you fail to test the limits of what you think is possible, then you'll never truly grow.

—Winter, to Weiss on their shared Semblance
“
If this is what you call trying, then you have no hope of winning the tournament, let alone succeeding as a Huntress!
”
—Winter, to Weiss
“
Emotions can grant you strength. But you must never let them overpower you.
”
—Winter, to Weiss
“
It sounds to me like you have two choices in front of you. You can either call him, beg for his money back, and explain once more why you would want to study at Beacon over Atlas, or you could continue to explore Remnant, discovering more about the world and honestly, more about yourself.
”
—Winter's advice to Weiss on handling the situation with their father
A reminder: failure to cooperate with Atlas military personnel is a punishable offense. If your sector is under military lockdown, please ask and report to the city for guidelines. We are here for your safety. Thank you for your cooperation.
Your technique still has those maddening sloppy touches. But you've learned how to make them work for you. You've made them your own.

—Winter, to Weiss about her Semblance
“
You've grown up a bit, haven't you? You're not the little girl clinging to the family name anymore.
”
—Winter, to Weiss
“
Whatever the case, I am glad to see you've moved on. Distancing myself from the Schnee name is the most beneficial thing I've ever done. We can move forward without him, together.
It did at first, when the General first proposed it to me. But the more I thought about it, the more I saw it as a privilege, a chance to do some real good for Atlas. For Remnant.
”
—Winter, to Weiss about her reason
“
Perhaps, but I'm choosing it now. I've made it my own. And I take great pride in it. That has nothing to do with Father, or the General... That belongs to me.
”
—Winter, to Weiss about her reason on choosing to become the Winter Maiden's successor
“
I think... I think Father may have just provided the spark that's going to set this kingdom on fire.
”
—Winter, to Weiss about their father's attempt after watching his speech
You can't just buy trust like everything else! You have to earn it!
”
—Winter, to Jacques about trust
“
I'll be fine. I just let my emotions get the better of me.
”
—Winter, to Penny after her outburst at the private dinner
“
No, no, what I mean is, this place holds a lot of memories for me, specifically. I thought I was in control, but... you heard me. I sounded like a petulant child.
”
—Winter, to Penny about the Schnee Manor
“
And that is precisely the problem. I should have just stayed in line.
Now, let's review how your classes have been going. I'll also need you to show me your living quarters to make sure they're up to my standards. I refuse to allow my little sister to stay in any abode that's not up to code. And don't mistake my rhyming for a cheery demeanor.
I suppose she'd be the only family you have left after tonight.
”
—Klein, to Weiss about Winter
“
What's going to make this complicated is when my sister finds out I didn't make it to Mistral. You know my sister, don't you? Winter Schnee? Special Operative of the Atlas Military? She's in Mistral now, and when she hears I'm missing, it won't take her long to find me - and you.
