I'm going to try my best to edit this story, over a year later, without changing it too much. Just minor improvements to enhance the experience for the thousands of people who are still reading this stuff months later.

Cries broke out in the official Remnant Hospital of Vale. This was the sound of a new baby being born, a new baby girl in fact. "Strong pair of lungs on this one, Mr. Long! She should grow up to be a great person one day." The doctor told the father of the girl, Taiyang Long.

"She looks brilliant! So much like her mother!" He exclaimed, seeing his baby girl for the first time. He reached out to cup his daughter's face, and as he did, he felt something off about it. There was something there, or rather an absence of something. Her ears.

"Where are her ears, doctor? Did something go wrong?" He asked, worrisome. The doctor sighed, and informed him, "No. You see, your daughter... Your daughter is a Faunus." Taiyang gaped at him. "B-but how? We're both human, how is she a Faunus?!" He was referring to him and his wife, of course.

"Well you see, Mr. Long, we have ordered a nurse to do a DNA test to see what happened, but the only results we have so far is that she IS your child." Well, at least his wife hadn't been cheating on him, he supposed. As if on queue, the double doors swung open, and a blond female walked through and gave the doctor a paper.

"Mhmm. Yes, alright, mhmm... mhmm..." The doctor mumbled, before telling Taiyang, "It seems that your wife's grandfather was a wolf Faunus, and passed down the genes, skipping two generations, and giving them to your girl. That's all, and we request that you stay here for a few days to make sure the child is healthy." The doctor then walked off, most likely going to another patient.

"I warned you. I told you that if you ruined one more thing, broke one more bed, scratched one more person..." Taiyang paused. "You were done. Yet, all I'm trying to do is help you heal that cut on your arm, yet you scratched me to keep me from inspecting it." He gestured to his forearm, which had fresh bandages on it, stained with red.

He sighed, while the girl was shrinking further back into the chair she was on, trying to avoid the disappointment concealed in her father's eyes. She was a four year old girl, yet she had so many expectations weighing down on her.

She didn't know what happened next, as if her head wasn't letting her think about it, but the next day, she found herself on the streets of Vale. All she had left was a loaf of bread, her clothes, and a cloak that her mom had made her at birth, which seemed to flow like liquid silver, and kept growing with her to fit her body.

Two days later, she was finishing off her loaf of bread, and walking down the streets of Vale, looking for a place that accepted people like her. Faunus, if she recalled correctly. Munching on a piece of bread, she turned another corner, and lo and behold, saw a group of Faunus walking into a building, with another Faunus standing outside.

She had taught herself how to read, seeing as when she had tried to go school, she had been taunted because of her ears and tail. Even only four, she knew what the sign said. "White Fang Meeting. Faunus Only!" She felt her face bright up in excitement, before realizing... Who were the White Fang? She ran up to the Faunus at the door, and being polite, asked, "Sir?" At which the Faunus glared at her. "What do you want, runt?" She shrank away, before asking, "I-I saw that this was a meet for F-Faunus." She stuttered under the man's glare.

"And what's it to you? Unless you're a Faunus, get lost. I don't have time to deal with runts like you running around." He started heading back inside, and closing the door.

"Wait!" She yelled. "I'm a Faunus!" The door stopped closing, and she was ushered inside.

"Well why didn't you say so?" The man's face was much kinder now, and his voice was softer. She pulled down her hood and showed him her ears, and said,

"I have a tail too, but daddy told me not to show it because it's in a private place." She spoke like any four year old girl, albeit with better grammar.

"Well, I'll be damned! You're the first dog-" He was cut off by her telling him,

"Wolf. I'm a wolf Faunus." And he just chuckled.

"Well then, you're the first wolf Faunus I've ever seen! Most of them died out in the war, being generals thanks to their instincts, and the rest are outside the kingdoms!" He smiled.

The meeting was quick, and easy to sum up. They were an all-Faunus group that wanted Faunus to be treated fairly, and not like the second-class citizens they were being treated as. Many of the people there shouted out and raised their hands in a fist, showing their approval. After the meeting, the man, who said his name was Jay, took her to a room, where they met with the man who had been speaking up on stage before. "Mister Tora? This young girl is a Faunus, and I haven't heard her story, but I believe she was kicked out of her house onto the streets." He told the man, apparently Mister Tora.

"Well then young girl, my name, as you heard, is Nathan Tora. I am a Tiger Faunus, and I was born into the war, with both of my parents dying before or when I was born. I was raised by the soldiers, and have seen what the humans are like at their worst, but also at their best.." She had read about the Faunus War in an old, dusty book she had found. Apparently, after the end, all the Generals and Commanders, along with other officials, had been publicly executed after the war. Not the best thing for a three and a half year old to read, along with the pictures. She had nightmares for a while after that.

"Enough with that. What's your story, young one?" Tora asked her gently.

"Well, s-sir, I was born a wolf Faunus because my great-father was one, apparently he passed down the genes to me, and three days ago, I ran away from home..." She told him, head looking downwards. She had always wanted to appease her father, but apparently she couldn't do even that. "Well, young girl, I would like to offer for you to become part of the White Fang. If you did, everything we had, you would have, food, water, and shelter. We can help you get things, grow up like a normal girl. All we ask is that you help us achieve peace and equality with the humans." The girl looked up surprised. That was all she had to do, and she could... could live? Live like a normal person? "Y-yes! I-I mean, yes please sir!"

Tora nodded, not at all surprised that she had accepted. "Well then, we need something to call you, don't we? What is your name?" He asked her, realizing that she had only been called girl so far. As his amber eyes looked in hers which, he noticed, were the color of her cloak, he noticed her stand up a little straighter.

"My name is Ruby Rose."

First chapter has been edited to make a little more sense. Paragraphs have been separated more. Bold injects have been replaced. John's name has been changed to "Jay" to avoid confusion. Tora has been given a first name, as well as a background/reason for being the leader of the White Fang. Major plot difference(s) in this chapter: Ruby RAN away, she was not kicked out.
