Fandom

Weiss was the second character introduced through RWBY's debut trailers. The initial impression of Weiss was that she would be a withdrawn, shy, princess type of character and possibly act tsundere towards Ruby. However, this was later debunked in Volume 1 where Weiss is a spoiled sociality who instantly clashes with Ruby.
After Volume 5 fans began to become frustrated over that fact that Weiss had technically never been shown to win a one-on-one fight with a person.[1] This was further compounded when she lost against Mitsuru Kirijo in Death Battle!. The fandom was excited when she beat Marrow in Volume 7, which was picked on by the animators themselves.[2]
Common Tropes and Fanon
- Tsundere: After her character trailer was released many fans believed Weiss would be a tsundere type. This ended up being somewhat correct.
- Blind: Weiss actual being blinded in the eye she received her scar on.
- Useless Lesbian: A riff on a popular Tumblr post, Tiffany you useless lesbian, the joke has since been used by the fandom in posts and fanworks where she fails to confess or kiss the other girls in the show.[3]
- Suffering Weiss: a tropes coined by the Bumbleby fandom to show Weiss being a third-wheel while around Blake and Yang.
