Character Profile: Weiss Schnee

Discover Anime @ AbsoluteAnime.comStar Ocean EX

The heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss Schnee doesn't have a good relationship with her father. A bit of a rebel, she often keeps her distance from both family and the company. She is confident in her skills, almost to the point of arrogance, but acknowledges she still could use some improvement, both in attitude and skill.

Because the Schnee Dust Company has become a target of the White Fang, because of their use of Faunus labor in the dangerous mining of Dust, Weiss is suspicious of all Faunus. Her feelings to both Velvet and Blake, both Faunus, were strained – until she saw how fellow student Cardin Winchester tormented Velvet, which help modify her feelings toward Blake when she found out she was a Faunus. She is partnered with Ruby, much to her irritation but she still works with her.

Weiss' Semblance centers around the creation of glyphs that resemble the Schnee crest. Depending on the situation, she can use the glyphs to either move fast or as a battle platform. She is also an excellent swordswoman, and has as her personal weapon Myrtenaster, which is a Multi Action Dust Rapier (M.A.D.R.). The sword has six compartments near the handle which store six varieties of Dust, each with a different effect (fire, ice, lightning, ect.). Weiss also sports a thin scar across her left eye, possibly a result of training with the sword.
