How RWBY's Blake and Yang Challenge Bisexual Stereotypes

Diane Darcy — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 21:45:13 GMT

Bisexuality is characterized by romantic and/or sexual attraction to two or more genders at different times and in varying degrees. This can include attraction to men, women, trans and non-binary people. Related to bisexuality is pansexuality, which is characterized by romantic and/or sexual attraction to any gender. With the ability to be attracted to more than one gender, there's no one single way to experience bisexuality as it varies from person to person. Even how bisexual individuals choose to self-identify can differ. Unfortunately, despite these varied experiences, this is rarely reflected in mainstream media.

Ice is one of the most commonly occurring elements in anime, second only to fire.

In Pokémon, the dynamic is much more lopsided, with Ice losing against Fire nine times out of ten.

Lindsay Jones, Kara Eberle, Arryn Zech and Barbara Dunkelman have come a long way in their voice acting careers since they first stepped into their RWBY roles nearly a decade ago. With RWBY: Ice Queendom being set between Vols. 1 and 2 of the original series, all four women have the unique opportunity to revisit the younger versions of their characters as more experienced voice actors. They're also dubbing their own characters for the first time as opposed to being the primary performers, which has created a whole new experience and different challenges.

RWBY: Ice Queendom is an anime spinoff of the original RWBY series that depicts an untold chapter in Weiss Schnee's life during her early days at the Beacon Academy. Set between Vols 1 and 2 of the main RWBY series, the Weiss that's initially introduced in the Ice Queendom storyline comes off as highly narcissistic to those who interact with her. Underneath her narcissistic behavior, however, hides an inner child with unhealed trauma and unresolved anger, which made her an easy target for a Nightmare Grimm to possess.

RWBY is a popular anime-inspired web series created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth. While the show's overall premise focuses on a group of aspiring Hunters protecting the world of Remnant against Grimm and other evil entities, it spends as much time developing relationships between characters. One of the more popular relationships depicted is between Blake Belladonna and her partner Yang Xiao Long, who are both members of Team RWBY.

RWBY Ice Queendom's Finale Sends a Confused Message About Racism

Diane Darcy — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 11:00:12 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom aired the final episode of its Japanese run on Sept. 18 with the English dub set to debut on Sept. 25. While the premise of Ice Queendom is to address an inconsistency in Weiss Schnee's earlier character development between RWBY Vols. 1 and 2, it goes the extra mile of addressing her relationship with Blake Belladonna, a Faunus and a former member of the White Fang. The more important question, however, is whether the series successfully tackles the topic of racism without playing into harmful tropes.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Reveals Who Really Started the Iconic Food Fight

Diane Darcy — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 20:00:12 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom has been a wild ride in expanding the lore of the main RWBY canon. The anime explored a parasitic new Grimm, introduced a new type of Hunter that specializes in capturing this type of Grimm, and had the main characters fight internal battles on a more personal level. Set between Vols. 1 and 2 of the main RWBY series, Ice Queendom sought to bridge a gap in Weiss Schnee's characterization by addressing her unhealed childhood trauma head on, and how that was impacting her relationships with her new friends and teammates.

Diane Darcy — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 15:00:12 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom aired its series finale on Sept. 18 with a huge bang. Not only does the episode wrap up the main storyline in a way that feels satisfactory for Weiss Schnee's character growth, but it also successfully transitions into RWBY Vol. 2 by replicating the iconic food fight scene that kick-started that volume. Of course, it doesn't dive right into the events of Vol. 2 straight away. Since the whole point of Ice Queendom is to fill a major gap in Weiss's characterization, the series finale begins by addressing what she learned from her experiences within her dreamscape.

Weiss's grandfather, Nicholas Schnee, has a huge presence in RWBY: Ice Queendom. With the Schnee family legacy being shaped by the unethical business practices of Weiss's father Jacques, his narcissism and his abuse of his family, the Schnees had been experiencing a dark age for quite some time. One of the major consequences of Jacques's questionable leadership as the Schnee family patriarch is the radicalization of the White Fang -- a Faunus activist group -- and their resorting to violent methods to progress their movement.

RWBY Ice Queendom Hilariously Fulfills Its Snow White Ending

Diane Darcy — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 19:00:12 GMT

Everyone familiar with Snow White knows how the classic fairy tale goes: the titular princess's mother dies and her father marries a narcissistic woman who becomes her stepmother. Dubbed as "The Evil Queen" in most incarnations, Snow White's stepmother routinely asks her magic mirror on the wall, "Who is the fairest one of all?" As long as the mirror answered she was the fairest, Snow White remained safe. As soon as the princess came of age and became "fairer" than the queen, that's when she ordered a huntsman to murder her stepdaughter.

RWBY Ice Queendom Debuts Ruby's Silver Eyes Ahead of the Main Series

Diane Darcy — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 13:00:12 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom is a self-contained anime series that inserts a Weiss-centric storyline between Vols. 1 and 2 of the main RWBY series. While bridging a gap in Weiss Schnee's character development is the primary focus, the anime also builds on developments that occur much later on in the series, such as the romantic friendship between Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, aka "Bumbleby." The anime even debuts items of significance to the protagonists ahead of their first appearance in the main series, such as Weiss's Vol. 4 dress.

RWBY Ice Queendom's Bumbleby Foreshadows Vol. 6's Defining Battle

Diane Darcy — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 00:00:11 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom is a largely self-contained story that fits between Vols. 1 and 2 of the original RWBY series. While the story is designed to flesh out Weiss Schnee's transition from a narcissistic bigot to a loving, sympathetic individual, the anime still drops Easter eggs of events and developments that occur much later in the main series. One of the earlier hints from previous episodes that foreshadows Weiss's positive character growth is her dress from Vols. 4-7, which ends up playing a vital role in Ice Queendom.

Villains are often seen and understood as being cunning, underhanded menaces to society that will not hesitate to trample over others to get what they want. However, that can't be stated for all villains. Some wish to cause as few casualties as possible, others may have a strict policy against harming children, and most will take an easier route if it presents itself.

10 Cartoon Heroes Who Won't Fight Anyone Weaker Than Them

Karlton Vivians — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 20:45:11 GMT

RWBY Ice Queendom Gives Fans the Most Epic Blake vs. Weiss Fight

Diane Darcy — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 12:00:12 GMT

The stakes have risen in RWBY: Ice Queendom after Blake Belladonna -- a Faunus and former White Fang member -- elected to fight fire with fire at the end of Episode 9 when she chose to succumb to her own darkness. After countless attempts to save Weiss Schnee -- the wealthy heiress of the Schnee Dust Company -- have resulted in failure, Blake has chosen to turn the tables on her teammate in a profoundly dangerous way. Episode 10 chillingly reveals how Blake plans to weaponize the Nightmare Grimm's environment against it.

Team RWBY's fight against the Nightmare Grimm possessing Weiss Schnee's body is proving more challenging than the team members anticipated. Not only are Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladona up against Weiss's internalized racism and years of unhealed childhood trauma, but the Nightmare Grimm isn't loosening its aggressive stranglehold on its victim. After trying every possible plan with minimal risk to themselves, Team RWBY is out of options -- and time is running short to save Weiss.

The only other voice actor from Team RWBY who's dubbed an anime series outside the RWBY franchise is Barbara Dunkelman, who voiced Cosmos in Fairy Tail.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Blake & Weiss Ironically Twist a Snow White Trope

Diane Darcy — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 18:00:13 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom is full of Snow White references from the Seven Kleins (all named after Disney’s Seven Dwarfs) to Ruby Rose taking on the role of the prince who wants to wake Snow White from her deadly slumber. Weiss Schnee herself fulfills the dual role of the Evil Queen and Snow White in her nightmare world to indicate she is her own worst enemy. The finishing touch is Weiss sleeping inside the glass coffin that originally contained her horse relic. The coffin even has an image of an apple to allude to the poison apple that put Snow White to sleep in the original fairy tale, which is symbolic of Weiss's self-hatred.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Weiss’s ‘Mirror, Mirror’ Is More Tragic Than Pyrrha’s

Diane Darcy — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 14:00:13 GMT

Weiss Schnee in the main RWBY series by Rooster Teeth has a reputation of being an ice queen in the earlier volumes. The reason for this personality type is even spotlighted in the first volume's "White Trailer," which also debuts Weiss's character song "Mirror, Mirror" during an action sequence that depicts her fighting a giant Grimm in knight armor. Addressing how she goes from being a narcissistic, bigoted Ice Queen to being the best version of herself in the later volumes is the focus of the RWBY: Ice Queendom anime.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Weiss's Dress & Relationship to Pyrrha, Explained

Diane Darcy — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 20:00:13 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom is a character study on Weiss Schnee, the only member of Team RWBY to come from a highly privileged background. In the original RWBY series, Weiss started out as a bigoted, narcissistic Ice Queen before growing into a warmer, friendlier version of herself that others have come to highly respect. Her journey to get there, however, was never meaningfully explored. Far from getting a character arc that depicted how she unlearned her internalized racism and overcame her father's narcissistic abuse, Weiss experienced a shift in attitude overnight. Ice Queendom seeks to fill that gap.

RWBY Ice Queendom: The Nightmare Relics Reflect Weiss’s Relationships

Diane Darcy — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 19:00:13 GMT

RWBY: Ice Queendom is a spin-off anime series that bridges the gap between Weiss Schnee's earlier characterization in Vol. 1 of the main RWBY series, and her sudden change in attitude from Vol. 2 onward. To explore how Weiss goes from being the bigoted, narcissistic Ice Queen she starts out as to the warmer, friendlier person she later becomes, Ice Queendom tackles her internal battles through a parasitic Nightmare Grimm that invades her mind and body. To rescue Weiss from the Nightmare Grimm, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna have to magically access her subconscious and wake her from within.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Nightmare Grimm Reveals Team RWBY’s Weaknesses

Diane Darcy — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 12:00:13 GMT

Most of RWBY: Ice Queendom has focused on Weiss Schnee’s nightmare world, which has been an internal battle of nature vs nurture. Having grown up in a household characterized by narcissistic abuse and parental neglect, Weiss has never known the warmth of love and affection -- not even from her older sister Winter, whom she highly respects. Given Weiss's truth for what it is, she struggles internally to embrace the authentic self she’s been forced to lock away for so long, and reject the narcissism and bigotry that have defined her entire life.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Weiss’s Lost Childhood Recalls Vol. 4 & 5

Diane Darcy — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 21:00:13 GMT

The whole premise of RWBY: Ice Queendom is to bridge the gap between the angry, bigoted Weiss viewers met in Vols. 1 and 2 of the original series and the warmer, friendlier person she becomes from Vol. 3 and onward. Ice Queendom specifically builds on the developments that were first established in Vol. 4, when Weiss was brought back to Atlas by her father, Jacques Schnee, following the fall of Beacon at the hands of Cinder Fall, Roman Torchwick and the White Fang gang. Weiss's time back home in Vol. 4 gave viewers a glimpse of her home life.

RWBY Ice Queendom: What’s Precious to Weiss Hints at White Rose

Diane Darcy — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 19:00:12 GMT

Team RWBY -- comprised of Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long -- is running out of time to rescue their teammate, Weiss Schnee, from the Nightmare Grimm that has a stranglehold on her mind. One of the strongest barriers preventing the girls from saving their teammate is Weiss's internalized anger toward her family, especially her father, Jacques. The Nightmare Grimm is exploiting this anger as fuel for itself, and has created the "Negative Weiss" to protect itself from outside threats.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Yang Is a Better Strategist Than Ruby

Diane Darcy — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 01:00:14 GMT

Yang Xiao Long, Ruby Rose’s older sister in RWBY: Ice Queendom, is highly social, optimistic and skilled at diffusing nasty situations. These qualities allow Yang to help Ruby ease into her new role as the leader of Team RWBY. They also help Yang to easily befriend her partner Blake Belladonna and diffuse conflicts between teammates, most notably whenever Weiss Schnee happens to be at the center of it. When she's on the battlefield fighting off Grimm, she coordinates her attacks very well with Blake.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Mirror, Mirror Reflects Weiss’s Loneliness

Diane Darcy — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:00:14 GMT

To the outside world, Weiss Schnee comes from a world of power and privilege and is used to having her way. She certainly comes off that way to her teammates -- Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna -- and everyone else at Beacon Academy. She especially doesn't get the sympathy of her teachers when she tries to get herself appointed as the leader of her team, believing Ruby to be too immature and unfit to lead.

RWBY Ice Queendom: Weiss’s Nightmare Reveals Experience With Familial Abuse

Diane Darcy — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 12:00:14 GMT

Weiss Schnee isn't exactly a team player when she doesn't get her way. She's also not particularly well-liked by her teammates Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, though they do their best to work with her. Although Weiss tries to keep up appearances and pretends to get along with her teammates for the sake of advancing her own ambitions, there is one creature she cannot fool: the Nightmare Grimm that buried itself deep within her heart.

RWBY: Ice Queendom Reveals Why Nightmare Grimm Targeted Weiss

Diane Darcy — Sat, 23 Jul 2022 18:00:13 GMT

In the world of Remnant, Grimm are thought of as "beasts of destruction and carnage" and lack a soul. Believed to be created by the God of Darkness, the Grimm are born in the shadows and thrive in darkness. As such, they are not capable of possessing Auras and Semblances and turn to Dust when they die. While most Grimm take on beast form, other species of Grimm also exist, such as the more parasitic Nightmare Grimm. The latter is the specialty of a Hunter named Shion Zaiden, who describes the Nightmare Grimm as "plant-like" and tend to invade the bodies of people who are sensitive or emotionally conflicted.

Diane Darcy — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 13:00:14 GMT

It's no surprise that Weiss Schnee isn't exactly the most well-liked student at the Beacon Academy. Despite her exceptional skills as a fighter, her narcissism is the aspect of her personality most people find off-putting. In addition to being used to getting her way, she doesn't have experience being a good friend, let alone being a good teammate. When she is assigned to Team RWBY after passing her violent entrance exam, she is less than thrilled to be led by the much younger Ruby Rose.

As such, they are not known to possess Auras or Semblance and become Dust when they die.

Being a Hunter is a highly respected profession in the world of Remnant. Not only do Hunters specialize in capturing and killing Grimm, but there are also Specialty Hunters who are skilled at hunting down specific types of monsters like Nightmare Grimm.

When a fictional world is populated by characters who fight monsters on a regular basis, the audience already knows those characters have to be strong.
