They have little exclusive back story for the show plus they&#8217;re epic). While watching the show, I&#8217;ve noticed some good writing aspects I wanted to share (plus I want to promote this awesome show).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<b style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\"><span style=\"color: red; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Warning: I&#8217;m going to keep this as spoiler free as possible, but there may be some minor ones.<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tumblr_mkhow9thry1rxv3zbo1_500.gif?resize=640%2C192\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Ruby being epic.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">1.) Each Character is Memorable &#8211; <\/span><i>RWBY <\/i>has a large cast of characters. Four main characters plus four other main students are focused on and that doesn&#8217;t include the teachers, antagonists, and other side characters. With such a large cast each character must be unique or they&#8217;ll get lost among the others. The group naming not only is a really cool idea, but also provides a way to remember the characters: RWBY (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang) and JNPR (Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren; pronounced Juniper).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Each character has a defined personality: Ruby is peppy and the youngest; Blake is solemn and a loner; Weiss is crabby and a bit of snob; and Yang is optimistic and rebellious. The costume colors also help you remember each character: Ruby is Red; Weiss is White; Blake is Black; and Yang is Yellow. Not only does this provide an artistic aesthetic, but it makes sure you can pick each one out in this large cast.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Tumblr_mrpp6rO26h1re8svpo1_500.gif?resize=320%2C171\" width=\"320\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\">How this can be applied to writing: <\/b><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\">Are each of your characters diverse and memorable? Can you describe their personality in three words? Is each personality different than the others? How about their visual aspects? Are they visually different than each other both in costumes and physicality? These are things you must think about to make sure names aren&#8217;t confused or they all look the same or they are all clones of the same character.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">2.) Each Character has their Own Problems and Goals &#8211; <\/span>Not all of the side characters agree with Ruby and what she wants to do. Though the students strive to be hunters like her, they go about it differently and want to be one for different reasons. One episode explores each of Ruby&#8217;s, Weiss&#8217;s, Blake&#8217;s, and Yang&#8217;s true meanings for wanting to be huntresses. In it, you see the even deeper motivations for each. (If want to find out, you must watch the show. \ud83d\ude09 )<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">All of them have problems. Ruby is looked down on because she&#8217;s younger. Weiss has familial pressure. Blake has a dark past. Yang has had dealings with shady characters. Jaune is weaker than the other students and is ashamed of it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Jaune-Entranced.gif?resize=640%2C312\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Jaune is so adorable.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\">How this can be applied to writing: <\/b><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\">Each of your characters need to have goals and problems independent from the main character&#8217;s. Each of them need problems to begin with. Everyone has problems in life so your characters need them too. What is a problem that&#8217;s on your characters&#8217;s minds most of the time? What is their ultimate goal? What do they most in life?<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3.) They Broke Cliches <\/span>&#8211; The biggest point about <i>RWBY<\/i> is that the show turned a ton of cliches on their heads. For example, the students are in college instead of high school. The main male and female characters actually aren&#8217;t in love. The popular girl Pyrrha isn&#8217;t a jerk and actually fears her popularity because it alienates her from other people because they think she&#8217;s out of their league. There are others too, but many are major spoilers.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tumblr_nb1jiuNlsC1rgko07o1_500.gif?resize=640%2C306\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">And Pyrrha is an amazing warrior.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\">How this can be applied to writing: <\/b><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\">Keep in mind about cliches such as the orphan hero. If you can turn them on their head do so. If you use a cliche, use it in a way that&#8217;s unique or even lampshade the trope.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><i>RWBY<\/i>&#8216;s such an amazing show with good writing! It&#8217;s funny and clean and just all around epic. If you haven&#8217;t seen it, watch it! The first season is only about two hours long and you can see it free&#8211;legally.
