Alright! So, if you have actually managed to find my other story (Five Months Later) in the sea of RWBY fanfic's that come out everyday, then you may know that I am a fan of Alternate / Parallel universes, as well as connected universes. As I found my self being drawn deeper and deeper into the RWBY section of this wonderful site, I discovered something.

I really like the idea of Ruby as a Faunus.

So! To honor this, I have throw each of the members of team's RWBY and JNPR into a random generator, along with 'Gender' and 'Species' to see what I can get. I gotta say, I really like my results. Now then, lets see what I can make with these results.

Side note: From what I've read on the Wiki, the forums and in interviews, Faunus can share traits with any animal. Mammal, Reptilian and Avian.

Airship

"Ooh! I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" The blonde girl shouted as she pulled a smaller girl with a red cloak into a bone crushing hug.

The other girl didn't seem to be as excited by the hug as she squirmed in the taller girls hold. "Please! Yang I can't breathe!" She shouted.

Yang released her with a smile, her hair shifting as she stretched her wings slightly. "Sorry, I'm just so excited!"

"Yeah, I could tell!" The smaller girl said as she fixed her cloak. "I don't know how you do it, but every time you hug me, my cape gets caught on Crescent Rose's holster!"

Yang kept smiling. "Well Ruby, maybe if you just used a Magnet Plate like everyone else, then your cape wouldn't catch on the hooks."

Ruby gave Yang a frustrated stare. "We've been over this Yang!" She stated. "I can't use a Magnet Plate because it would mess with the complex components inside her!"

Yang was about to respond, but the screen on the wall grabbed her attention.

"The robbery was lead by notorious criminal, Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale police department."

Yang turned to Ruby. "I'm so proud of you!"

Ruby gave Yang a sad look. "Really sis, it was nothing."

"What do you mean nothing? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon's gonna think your the bee's knee's!" Yang said as she guestured to the rest of the people in the area.

Ruby frowned, the ears on the top of her head flattening against her skull. "I don't want to be the bee's knee's! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knee's!"

Yang continued to smile as she tilted her head to the side. "Whats the matter? Aren't you excited?" He cheerful tone clashing with Ruby's depressed aura.

"Of course I'm excited, it just that... I skipped ahead two years. I don't want anyone to think I'm special." She said as she looked to Yang through her bangs.

Yang smiled and put an arm around her sisters shoulders. "But Ruby, you are special. Not many people can fight someone like Roman Torchwick and get away without so much as a scratch." She said.

Roman himself had graduated from Beacon academy close to a decade prior, and had dropped off the grid little more that a year later, only to resurface as the head of Vale's underground. He became a household name due to his use of excessive force, and his questionable taste in clothes. He had been keeping quiet for the last few month's, at least until Ruby ran into him and his goons at a local dust shop.

"In other news, this Saturday's Faunus civil rights protest turned dark, when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony."

Yang turned to the screen with a scowl. "Them again?" Her wings twitched in annoyance.

Ruby turned to look at Yang with an amused smile. "Still sore over the change?"

"I didn't know that they had become terrorists when I wore the shirt to school!" She said as she crossed her arms.

Being both Faunus themselves, Yang and Ruby initially supported the White Fang, at least until they started to hurt people. Yang was proud of her heritage, and wanted people to know it, so she often wore a shirt with the White Fang logo over her right breast. She did this for much of her early school years, until they changed to their current state. Yang was only twelve when they changed, and didn't see much wrong with wearing the new logo around, so she changed it. At first, no one said anything to her about the red logo on the shirts, but since children have a knack for being little demons, one of the less Faunus friendly boys decided to clue Yang in on what the change had meant.

"I still can't get a normal job back in Patch thanks to them." She muttered as she looked back to the broadcast. It flickered for a moment before vanishing. Seconds later a blonde woman with glasses and a purple cape appeared on the screen. "Hey, who's she?" Yang asked.

"Hello and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch."

"Oh." Yang said as she watched the screen.

"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being chosen to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsman and huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect our world." The woman faded away, revealing the city below as the haze on the window cleared.

"Wow!" Ruby said as she walked over to the window. Other students noticed the chance to view the city and began to point out landmarks to each other. "Look, Yang! I can see Signal from here!" Ruby said as she pointed to a Gothic looking building in the center of the city. "I guess home isn't too far after all." She said with a smile.

Yang put her arm around Ruby's shoulder and looked down at her. "Beacon's our home now." She said as she rustled Ruby's hair.

There was a groan to their right as a blonde girl wearing some light armor covered her mouth and stumbled past them, looking about ready to puke.

Yang giggled. "Well, I guess the view isn't for everyone."

"It was a nice moment while it lasted." Ruby said as she turned to look up at Yang.

"I wonder who were gonna meet!" Yang said.

"I just hope they're better than Vomit girl." Ruby said with a frown. She looked to the ground where she saw something green. A look of disgust crossed her face as she pointed down at Yang's shoe. "Eww! Yang, you've got puke of your shoe!"

"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!" She repeated as she shook her boot to the side.

"Get away from me! No, get back!" Ruby shouted as she backed away from Yang.

Beacon Landing Platform

The doors to the airship slid open as the girl in light armor sprinted through them to a nearby trashcan to empty the contents of her stomach. Yang and Ruby continued past her as they exited the ship, allowing for them to get a closer look at the schools courtyard. From where the ship deposited them, they could see the whole of Beacon Academy's main building, with the CCT tower in the back.

Yang looked around impressed as she crossed her arms, her wings shifting slightly as a she felt a breeze blow by. "The view from Vale's got nothing on this." She said.

Ruby had other thing's on her agenda though, as she began to fawn over every weapon that passed her. "Sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a Fire sword!" She said as she tried to follow them away. Yang frowned and dragged Ruby back by her ear. "OW! Yang, watch the ears!" She said as she turned to face her sister with an annoyed glare. "What was that for?" She demanded.

Yang smiled slightly. "You gotta calm down Ruby, they're just weapons." She said with a shrug.

"Just weapon?" Ruby asked with a shocked tone in her voice. "They're not just weapons! They're an extension or ourselves, they're a part of us! Ooh, they're so cool." She said as she scanned the area for other unique weapons.

"Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked.

The sound of gears shifting and metal popping into place could be heard as Ruby extended her scythe to its full height. "Her." She said. "And of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones." She said as she turned and let Crescent rose fall to her side. "It's like meeting new people... But better."

Yang smirked. "Ruby." She said as she grabbed her hood and pulled it down over her face. "Come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?" Yang asked as she stepped back.

Ruby pulled her hood back into it's normal place, ignoring the minor pain she had felt when the fabric squished her ears. "Well, why would I need friends when I have you?" She asked.

Yang grinned. "Well actually, I was gonna go explore the school when I got here so..."

Ruby smiled. "Great idea! I'll go with you!" She stated.

"Good luck following me this time sis." She said as she unfurled her wings from behind her hair, taking extra care to move each strand away from where the wings were connected to her. Yang's wings consisted of two colors, on the scales that trailed along the wings from her back to the tips, was a dark shade of red, with the leathery webbing on her wings being a bright gold. Yang grinned and jumped into the air, using her wings to push her higher until she was able to fly off on the air currents.

Yang's sudden departure had caused a bit of a whirlwind that forced Ruby backwards with a spin. "Wait! Yang! Aren't we supposed to go to our dorms?! Where are our dorms?! Do we have dorms?!" Ruby managed to stop her spin and sighed as she lost her balance. "I don't know what I'm doing." She felt the back of her foot hit something and she fell back onto a cart of white suitcases, earning the ire of the person beside it.

"What are you doing?!" Ruby heard someone shout as she pulled herself out of the pile of luggage. Standing before her was a boy wearing nothing but white and blue. While his main attire seemed to consist of a white suit with a light grey undershirt, he had a long white overcoat that changed to grey as it extended down to his ankles. The overcoat had an over exaggerated collar that stood up to just under his ears with a bright red lining the inside. The ends of each sleeve seemed to open wider as they got closer to his wrists. On both sides of his hips were a set of silver-grey rapiers with revolver chambers just past each handle. He had long hair that was formed into a braid that trailed down his front left side, and he had a scar across a blind left eye.

"Uhh, sorry." Ruby said as she lifted one of the cases.

"Sorry?" The boy asked. He had a thick northern accent and a bit of a snobbish air about him. "Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?!" He asked, the irritation in his voice showing through with no extra help needed.

"Uhh?" Ruby responded as she raised the case up to him.

He scowled. "Give me that!" He demanded as he took the case from Ruby's hands and opened it. "This is Dust! Mined and purified from a Schnee quarry."

"Uhh..." Ruby said again as she tried to get a better handle on the situation that was unfolding.

This answer only seemed to annoy the boy more as he continued. "What are you, brain dead?!" He demanded. "Dust! Fire, Water, lightning! Energy!" He shouted as he shook the red vile that he had pulled out of the case, not seeming to notice the cloud that had formed around Ruby. "Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in?!" He demanded. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

*BOOM!*

The cloud of dust caused Ruby to sneeze, igniting the dust in the air into an explosion and blowing the red vile out of the boys hand. The vial bounced on the ground before coming to a stop at the feet of a girl in black.

"Unbelievable!" The boy shouted as he stomped his foot to clear the ash off of him. "This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" He shouted.

Ruby placed her hands together as she looked at him with sad eyes. "I'm really, really sorry."

He continued to scowl. "You utter buffoon! What are you even doing here!? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon!?" He demanded.

"Well, I, Ah..." Ruby tried.

"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice you know! We're here to fight monsters, so watch where your going!" He shouted as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Now Ruby was frustrated. "Hey, I said I was sorry your Highness." She said with annoyance in her voice.

"It's Heir, actually." The girl in black said as she walked over to the two. "Winston Schnee, Heir to the Schnee Dust Company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." She finished as she looked at the boy.

He smiled smugly. "Finally, some recognition." He said as he shot a glare over his shoulder at Ruby.

"The same company that's infamous for it's controversial labor forces, and questionable business partners." She finished, not missing a chance to take a shot at his ego.

Winston crossed his arms and snorted. "At least we hire those stupid Faunus. They should be happy with what they get from us after what the White Fang have done to the Schnee Dust Company." He finished as he glared at the girl in black, quickly realizing that she was not on his side either.

The girl in black narrowed her eyes. "You hire them and force them to work long hours in the mines for well below an acceptable wage." She said, the spite in her words seeping through. "What you have is basically a slave labor force."

"They are free to leave the mines whenever they like." Winston said.

"If they flee then they are running into Grimm infested forests! You transport them out into the middle of nowhere, then you force them to mine Dust for you while they are being watched by men with guns!" She said, raising her voice slightly for the end.

Winston didn't seem to budge. "The weapons are necessary to keep away the filth, you know, the Grimm, White Fang, door to door salesmen." He uncrossed his arms and motioned for his staff to re-stack his bags. "It almost sounds like you sympathize with those degenerates in the White Fang." He said as he looked back to the girl in black.

She had a frustrated look on her face as she turned away. Blake had expected the exchange to go more in her favor when she started it, but the Schnee had kept a cool head through it all, not even fazed when Blake tried to poke fun at his family's reputation. "No... Not anymore at least." She said as she started walking away from him.

Winston watched her leave before lifting the bag by his feet onto the cart. He turned to Ruby one last time with a scowl before departing, his staff following along closely with his bags.

"I promise I'll make this up to you!" She shouted as he walked out of sight. She frowned before turning towards where Blake had been standing. "So, what's your na-" But She had vanished. Ruby sighed. "Welcome to Beacon." She said as she let herself fall into the crater she created. She let herself lay there for a moment before a shadow covered her eyes.

Opening her eyes and turning she saw the girl with light armor from the airship. She had a blueish purple jumpsuit on under her armor, which covered her upper torso, along with her waist. She had a pair of metal greaves that covered her legs from the knee to her feet, and some plating to cover her shoulders and forearms. She had long blonde hair that fell just past her shoulders, but was held back by a blue hair band. She had some light cloth connecting each of the hunks of metal on her waist together like a skirt. At her waist was a white scabbard and a sword with a blue hilt.

"Hi, I'm Jean." She said with a smile as she offered Ruby a hand.

Ruby smiled and took the hand, letting Jean help her up. "I'm Ruby." She said. Ruby looked at her and chuckled. "Aren't you the girl that threw up on the ship?" She asked.

Ruby and Jean began to wander the school grounds as they talked and got to know one another. "All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jean protested as Ruby waved her hand.

"Look I'm sorry, Vomit girl was the first thing that came to mind." She said as they continued to walk.

Jean looked up with a frustrated look. "Oh yeah, well what if I called you crater face?" She asked.

An annoyed look crossed Ruby's face. "Hey, that explosion was an accident!" She shouted.

"Well the names Jean Arc, short and sweet." She said as they continued walking.

"Short and sweet?" Ruby asked with a confused look.

Jean nodded. "Yep, short and sweet. It's odd, I feel like it's not finished. It's like the author couldn't think of a way to write this sentence from a girls perspective." She said as she stared past Ruby.

Ruby gave her a confused stare before chuckling to herself. "Sooo... I've got this thing." She said as she deployed Crescent Rose, causing the tip of the blade to stab into the ground.

Jean jumped back, clearly startled by the large weapon. "Whoa! Is t-that a scythe?" She asked as she pointed to Crescent Rose.

"It's also a customizable, high impact sniper rifle." Ruby said as she pulled it from the ground and placed it across her chest.

"A what?" Jean asked.

Ruby pulled the bolt back on the rifle. "It's also a gun."

"Oh... That's cool!" Jean said as she looked on.

"So what have you got Jean?" Ruby asked as she turned to face the other girl.

"Oh, ah. I've um, got this sword." She said.

"Ooh." Ruby said as she looked at the large blade.

"Yeah, I've got this shield too." Jean said as she raised the scabbard to her chest. Flipping a switch on the inside, the edges of the scabbard shot out to form a large kite shield.

"So what do they do?" Ruby asked as she ran her hand along the shield. Jean hit the switch on the inside by mistake and caused the shield to jump out of her hand. Ruby giggled slightly as she watched Jean fumble around trying to catch her shield.

"The ah, shield gets smaller. So when I get tired of carrying it, I can just put it away." She said as she placed the scabbard back on her hip.

Ruby scratched her head in confusion. "But, wouldn't it weight the same?" She asked.

Jean's shoulders slumped. "Yeah, It does..." She said in defeat, her attempts at being smooth failing her.

Ruby smiled. "Well, I'm kind of a dork when it come's to weapon's. I guess I did go a little overboard in designing her."

Jean gave Ruby a shocked look. "Wait... You made that?" She asked in surprise.

Ruby nodded. "Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you make yours?" She asked as Jean examined her sword.

She shook her head. "It's a hand me down. My Great-Great Grandfather used it to fight in the war."

Ruby laughed nervously. "Sounds more like a family heirloom to me." She said before turning to face Jean. "Well I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days."

Jean nodded with a smile. "Yeah... The classics." She said as she sheathed her sword.

Ruby turned to continue walking and looked back at Jean over her shoulder. "So, why'd you help me out back there, in the courtyard?" Ruby asked.

Jean shrugged. 'Eh, why not. My mother always says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet."

Ruby thought the answer over in her head for a moment before agreeing, then she turned back to Jean. "Hey, where are we going?" She asked.

Jean looked at her in confusion. "I was following you." She said as the two began to look at their surroundings. "You think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court, some sort of recognizable land mark." Jean asked causing Ruby to giggle. "Is that a no?" She asked.

Ruby nodded. "That's a no."

Assembly Hall

Jean and Ruby walked into a large room that was filled to the brim with students. A quick look around confirmed it to be comprised of mostly first year students, with the occasional second year talking to a friend.

"Ruby! Over here!" Ruby and Jean turned to see Yang waving to them. "I saved you a spot!" She shouted.

Ruby smiled and turned to Jean. "Oh, hey I gotta go, I'll see you after the ceremony!" She said as she took off towards her sister.

Jean shouted for her to wait before sighing. "Great, now where am I gonna find someone nice and quirky to talk to?" She asked herself as she strode off towards the front, not noticing the pair of eyes that followed her as she left.

Yang and Ruby were looking up at the stage, waiting for the assembly to start. "So, how'd your first day going little sister?" Yang asked with a grin.

Ruby shot her a glare. "You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?!" She half shouted.

Yang grimaced. "Yikes, meltdown already?"

Ruby shook her head. "No, I literally exploded a hole in the front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice?" She said as she placed her hand on her chin.

Yang smiled and leaned her head towards Ruby. "Are you being sarcastic?" She asked.

Ruby scoffed. "I wish! I tripped over some mean guy's luggage, and then he yelled, and then I exploded, and then he yelled again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted him to stop yelling at me." She said, failing to notice the presence of said male immediately behind her.

"You!" He shouted, causing Ruby to jump into Yang's arms.

"Oh god it's happening again!" She yelled.

He crossed his arms over his chest as he glared at her. "Your lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" He scolded.

Yang looked to Ruby in horror. "Oh my god, you really exploded."

"It was an accident!" Ruby protested before turning to Winston. "It was an accident!" Her response was him shoving a pamphlet in her face. Ruby tilted her head. "Whats this?" She asked.

Winston glared at Ruby before he began. "The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to Dust application and practice in the field."

Ruby was a little confused from the speech that seemed a little more than rehearsed. "Uhh..." Was all she could manage.

Winston continued to glare at the poor Faunus. "You really want to start making things up to me?" He asked.

Ruby nodded. "Absolutely!" She said.

He shoved the pamphlet into her hands. "Then read this and never speak to me again."

Yang scratched the back of her head as she watched the exchange between the boy in the white coat and her sister. "Look uh, it sound's like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends okay?" She said, trying to help her little sister make at least one friend.

"Yeah!" Ruby shouted as she spun around to face Winston. "Hello Winston, I'm Ruby." Ruby stuck out her hand as she spoke. "Want to hang out? We could go shopping for school supplies." Ruby said, hoping to get a better response from the boy this time.

The glare left Winston's face, only to be replaced by a look of boredom. "One, I'm a guy. Why do you think that going on a shopping trip would interest me in the slightest? Two, I have no desire to associate myself with a Faunus." He said as he turned on his heels and walked away from the sisters.

Yang glared at him as he walked away. "Great. He's one of those Humans." She said as she placed a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "Don't let him bother you sis. I'd rather you didn't make friends with a boy this quick anyway." She said as they turned to face the stage.

The microphone switched on as Professor Ozpin took the stage. "I'll, keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your lives to the protection of the people. But as I look amongst you, all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Yang shook her wings slightly to push her hair back as Ozpin left the stage.

Glynda Goodwitch walked to the mic and began to direct the students. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight, tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready, you are dismissed." She finished.

Yang tilted her head to the side as she watched Ozpin leave the room. "He seemed kind of... Off."

Ruby nodded in agreement. "It's almost like he wasn't even there."

Ballroom

Ruby laid on her sleeping bag amongst a sea of first years who had joined her as the day came to a close. She was quietly sketching in her notebook as Yang flopped down beside her. "It's like a big slumber party!"

Ruby frowned. "I don't think dad would approve of all the boys." She said as she continued to draw.

Yang grinned and looked around at the boys who were messing around by the walls. "I know I do!" She said as she attempted to make a purring noise.

"Yang, your not even a mammal Faunus, your a dragon. Stop trying to purr, it always sounds weird." Ruby said as she turned to her sister.

Yang grinned as she tried to poke fun at her little sister. "Your just mad because your a cat that can't purr!" She said. She was quickly met with a pillow to the face in response.

Ruby gave Yang an annoyed stare. "Shut up! I can purr! I just don't want to!" She said, and she wasn't lying. Ruby was a Lynx base. She did have the potential to be able to Purr, she just never figured out how.

Yang laughed a few times before looking down at what Ruby was drawing. "What're ya doing?" She asked as she watched Ruby finish drawing a Beowolf on the paper.

"I'm adding a cover for my letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them everything about Beacon." She said as she brushed the lead dust off of her paper.

Yang smiled. "Aww, that's so cute!" She squealed, only to be hit with Ruby's other pillow.

"Hey, I didn't get to take my friends with me to school, it's weird not knowing anyone here." She said as she placed her drawing in her bag.

Yang tilted her head to the side. "What about Jean?" She asked, gesturing to the blonde that was laying a few feet away and wearing a onesie with bunny ears on her feet. "She seems... Nice?" Yang said, not terribly sure herself what to think of the other blonde.

Ruby sighed and rolled onto her back. "Pretty sure that Winston counts as a negative friend." She said, the irritation in her voice when she thought about the boy showing through.

Yang smiled. "There's no such thing as a negative friend! You just made one friend, and one enemy!" She said as she watched Ruby stare off into the darkness above them. "Look, it's only been one day, trust me, you've got friends all around you, you just haven't met them yet."

Ruby thought about her sister's words for a moment, before a sudden burst of light caught both of their attentions. Turning to the source they found Blake sitting by the wall reading a book. Ruby's eyes lit up. "That girl..." She said.

Yang's eyebrow rose as she watched her sister. "You know her?" She asked.

"Not really, she saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything." Ruby said as she watched her turn the page.

Yang grinned. "Well, here's your chance!" She said as she dragged Ruby to her feet and pulled her along.

Ruby gave a surprised yelp as she was dragged to her feet. "Hey! Wait, what are you doing! Yang let go!" She shouted, but her protests fell on deaf ears as the blonde dragged her over to Blake, who herself had taken notice of the duo slowly making their way over to her, a bit hard to miss as Yang's wings knocked other students out of the way.

Yang saw the girl look up at them from her book and decided to greet her. "Hellooo!" She sang. "I believe you two may know each other." She finished as she turned to Ruby.

Blake raised her eyebrow and looked at Ruby. "Aren't you the girl who exploded?" She asked, not really caring about the answer.

Ruby turned and looked down at her. "Uhh, yeah. Hi, my names Ruby." She said as she stuck out her hand for a handshake. Blake starred at her hand for a moment before looking back to her book. "But you can just call me crater... Actually you can just call me Ruby..."

"Right..." Blake said as she hoped the two would notice her lack of desire to talk and leave her to her book.

Yang turned to look at Ruby with a serious look in her eyes. "What are you doing!?" She asked.

"I don't know help me!" She shot back as they turned back to Blake.

"So, what's your name?" Yang asked with a smile.

She sighed. "Blake." She said.

Yang grinned. "Well Blake, I'm Yang. Ruby's older sister. I like your bow!"

"Thanks." She said, trying to ignore the blonde.

"It goes great with your... Pajamas." Yang finished.

Now she was irritated. "Right..."

She could see the two of them slowly losing the desire to talk to her as the conversation continued. "Nice night huh?" Yang asked.

Blake nodded. "Yes, it's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book... That I will continue to read... As soon as you leave." She said, finally deciding to throw subtlety to the wind.

Yang sighed. "Yeah, this girls a lost cause." She said as she turned to Ruby.

"What's it about?" Ruby asked as she looked down at Blake.

"Huh?" Blake asked, caught off guard by the question.

"Your book. Does it have a name?" She asked.

Blake looked up at Ruby from over the top of her book. "W-well it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control of his body." She said.

While it was clear that Yang was uninterested in the book, Ruby stepped forward to continue the conversation. "I love books." She said. "Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters, they're one of the reasons I want to become a huntress." She finished.

Blake was surprised by the girls forwardness. "Why's that? Hoping to live happily ever after?" She asked.

"Well I'm hoping we all will." She said. "As a little girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books, someone who fought for what was right, and protected those who couldn't protect themselves."

Blake smiled as she looked up to Ruby, the girl was the very picture of innocence. "That's very ambitious for a child. Unfortunately the real world isn't like a fairy tail." Blake said with a frown.

Ruby smiled. "Well, that's why were here. To make it better." She said.

Yang smiled. "Ooh, I'm so proud of my baby sister!" She said as she grabbed Ruby and pulled her into a hug.

Blake watched as the two began to fight and laughed lightly. "Well, Ruby, Yang, it's a pleasure to have-" But she was cut off by Winston as he appeared behind Ruby and Yang.

"What in the world is going on here!?" He demanded. "Some of us are trying to sleep!" He stated as he turned to look at Ruby and Yang.

"Oh not you again!" He and Yang shouted in unison as their eyes met.

"Shh! Guys, he's right, people are trying to sleep!" Ruby said in a loud whisper.

"Oh now your on my side?!" Winston demanded.

"I was always on your side!" Ruby protested.

"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister!?" Yang demanded.

"She's a hazard to my health!" He shouted.

Blake scowled and threw her book down beside her, realizing that she wasn't going to get any reading done tonight she grabbed the candles and blew them out, coating the area in darkness.

Well was fun to write. Thus far not much really changes from the actual series, save for the alternate Genders for Weiss, Jaune and Pyrrha. I made some minor cosmetic changes to some of the weapons in this story to add to my personal vision of this universe.

Yang Xiao Long - Female Faunus - Base: Dragon

Ruby Rose - Female Faunus - Base: Lynx

Blake Belladonna - Female Faunus - Base: House Cat

Winston Schnee - Male Human

Jean Arc - Female Human

And that's it for the characters from this chapter. In the next chapter you get to see what changes have hit the rest of JNPR, and I get to figure out how I'm going to make this story worth reading.

As I said above I did make some alterations to the weapons to add to my personal vision of this world.

Ember Celica - Rather than leather gloves, the fingers are now completely metal.

Myrtenaster - Now comes in a pair.

Crocea Mors - Slightly larger than in the normal anime.

These are just minor changes to the look for my fic, I also realized after the fact, but the look for Jean may have been heavily inspired by Lux from League of Legends.

Tell me what you all think of the story, and throw me some Ideas for what you might like to see. The genders and species for all the villains and for team SSSN are still up in the air.
