Summary[]
Weiss Schnee is one of the titular protagonists of the American web cartoon RWBY and its Japanese manga adaptation/prequel. She is the heiress to the vastly influential Schnee Dust Company, the largest producers and exporters of Dust in the world of Remnant. However, due to the company's mistreatment of Faunus labor and the resultant backlash targeted at both the company and her family by the White Fang, her childhood upbringing was a "very difficult" one. As such, Weiss developed an egocentric and unfriendly demeanor, as well as an inherent distrust of the Faunus. It is revealed Weiss aims to become a Huntress in order to restore her family’s honor, and she matures over the course of the series.
She is voiced by Kara Eberle in English, with her singing voice provided by Casey Lee Williams Just Like Kit's Singing Voice Is Provided By Mitsuru Matsuoka. In the Japanese dub, she is voiced by Yōko Hikasa.

Intelligence: Gifted. As the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss was raised from youth to strive to be the best in all she did, and combat was no exception. As a testament to her skills, Weiss was listed as the top ranking of the sparring class during the events of the Vytal Festival. Weiss can move quickly and is creative on the battlefield, particularly with Ice Dust, although she is proficient in a number of different elements and can use them both on their own and incorporate them into her Glyphs, and can rapidly switch between several different elements in rapid succession without faltering. She claims to be the smartest girl at Beacon Academy, and though this is clear exaggeration, she has demonstrated a great deal of knowledge in the classroom, even going so far as to go out of her way to learn things even if they don't pertain to the topic at hand. Weiss also mastered summoning in a relatively short period of time despite being completely unable to do so and believing she was incapable of doing so prior.
Weaknesses: At times, Weiss is stubborn to a fault and lets her pride get the best of her. Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to deplete to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage and will be incapable of using her Semblance; continuous use of her Semblance drains her Aura further. Initially lacked control of her Summoning, and she is left wide open to attack while attempting to access her Summons.
