[~Weiss Schnee~]
[~ C L O S E D R P ~]
{RWBYverse}
Weiss Schnee, Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company of Atlas. Weiss Schnee, the perfect angel among the Hunters and Huntresses of Beacon Academy, leagues above them in wisdom, skill, and the inherent ability to battle. Weiss Schnee, partner to the Leader of Team RWBY. Weiss Schnee, the girl everyone went after, wanted to befriend to get in on the good books.
Weiss Schnee... The loneliest person in all of Beacon.
Who was she, really? She knew who she was, she knew what she was. But what was it that made her... her? What was that essential base of emotion that truly made her special? Was it her sense of fashion? Her callous remarks? The way she would always do her best to be perfect, no matter what the situation rose too?
Was it her grades? Her brilliance? Her ability to utilize Glyphs in the most perfect harmony to create wild attacks and killer combos? Was it in the scar across her eye, the harshness of her tone, the tears that crossed her eyes every night before bed?
Weiss Schnee... the loneliest of all.
Another day at Beacon had finally made her reach her wits. As much as she loved her team - especially now that she had grown to know them, now that the group seemed to be a little more calm and more complete - she had to get away sometimes. There was only so much joy she could take at any given time before she started to feel as though she were.. well.. as though she were a burden.
She knew she wasn't; there wasn't a possible way for her to be, was there? Then again, she was a kill joy. She was someone who frowned a lot. She had too much on her mind, too much to think about and not enough time on her hands for just following around with the crowd. Already, her father had attempted to call her Scroll again - probably to yell at her about joining Beacon - and she had promptly hung up. What was the point in talking to someone who would never understand anything? Someone that merely saw her as a possession versus someone who wanted to stretch her wings and become free?
When had she started realizing things like this, started thinking about the pain of being alone? Maybe it was her first day at Beacon when she was almost blown off the side of the cliff, or maybe it was the day she started seeing just how hard the others worked to include each other - and inevitably herself as well. She had always known she was lonely, trapped, frozen in time to a beat that not even her heart could shatter. It was almost as though her very pulse was synchronized to the pain that continued to flow through her life.
Mother, gone. Father, not worth mentioning. Stressful relationship with her sister. Mending relationships with Blake and Ruby although they were still close. The only person she felt she was truly close too on that team was Yang Xiao-Long, the person who helped teach her to be able to sing again, the person who told her that everything wasn't always as bad as it seemed. But still, there was so much that made it so she couldn't break free of the past; made it so she was still.. stuck.
No matter how hard she wanted to break free, she was still, truly, a caged bird, a bird whose voice would never be able to rise and surprise the rest of the world with her beautiful tunes. A bird that was left to rot in the ruin of a catastrophic life with various disappointments and responsibilities.
Still, she was blessed for what she had now, and thinking of the grandeur of her friends was what brought the smile to her face, a smile that normally would have never etched itself across her features.
Ruby Rose was a silly girl, two years too early to have came to Beacon. They didn't get on the right foot when they had first appeared, but later on, she had proved herself to be a capable leader, ally, and friend... and Weiss had shown that she was more than willing to become the best partner ever allied to her.
Blake Belladonna was ... quiet. She was depressive and upset at the best of times, and there were times where Weiss worried herself stupid over her health - not that she was going to tell her any of that, of course. Still, she was someone that was always willing to lend a listening ear, someone that she could just spend a moment of silence with if she didn't want to talk. Usually, that silence was golden, sometimes broken by quiet laughs on both of their sides.
Finally, there was Yang. Yang Xiao-Long, the Pun Queen of Beacon. Yang was the person that started everything with Weiss, had really started breaking her out of the frozen tundra she had hidden herself away in. The Sun of Team RWBY and the Frost seemed to be something that no one would ever have imagined to be a good pair, but they truly were. They worked well together, understood each other better than anyone else on their team.. It was Yang that helped keep Weiss' spirits up, and Weiss that helped keep the flaming temper down.
In the end, their entire team was a team of opposites, but that was the beauty of it. That was, indeed, the perfection of their team.
Regardless of her thoughts, however, that nagging feeling of becoming too close to those she shouldn't, that emotion of being annoying, seemed to stretch itself across her mind. Nature had a serene feel to it, a means of calming her down, and thus, she had came to the park, breathing in the soft scent of the lake, watching the birds flying through the air.
Oh, how she wished she could be like those birds... Carefree, gentle, oh so free...
She stopped as she took a gaze at them, her icy orbs slowly seeming to melt, a single sweet tear rolling its way down her smooth, alabaster cheek. Lifting her sleeve, she wiped it away, hoping beyond hope that no one had caught her in her brief moment of weakness.
Weiss Schnee? Crying? How ludicrous! she chided herself. Come on, Weiss, you can do better than this.
Picking up one of her feet, the boot shining in the sunlight, she was about to take another step before...
"Weiss, Weiss! You need to come to the school right now! There's this strange, big shot guy that is here! It is said that he is the head of a multi-million dollar company like yours!"
Blinking, the icy blue orbs narrowed significantly as she read the message offered her from her leader and teammate. If this was who she thought it was... this was not going to be good - for the boy, anyway.
Immediately, she set off towards Beacon. She refused to allow anyone to treat him as an outsider, not after all that they have done to her as well!
----
Finally, she reached Beacon. It was obvious from the glances around her that they had viewed this man as a celebrity, that he was another one of those big names on the big screen, another man with another appearance dancing across the universe.
"Excuse me, Heiress coming through!" she shouted, causing the students to part their ways as she shoved past them.
"Seriously, do you not know how to handle onlookers?" she asked, pointing her finger at the male. "You had one job, and so far, you have done nothing but mess it up! Let's go before they continue to make you appear like a total dolt!"

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos As soon as the heiress caught the mans attention his expression would change from complete and udder confusion to a slight smile. His eyes shot off to the side and he closed them for a moment ,By the time he opened them his left eye would have changed. A pale white cresent moon had bloo med in his left pupil and now began to glow slightly. "Long time no see Snow white....What your here? If I would have known that I would accepted the offers from Vales academy so I wouldnt have to be in the same school as the Legendary Weiss Schnee....Just a chip off the old...Block.." For some reason he found himself unable to insult her although he desperatley wanted to call her an Unending ammount of slurs and insults. This hadnt been the first time they met ,They had met in elementary school. Due to the fact that their parents were the largest rivals in the dust world he naturally hated her ,Admittedly he didnt have a good reason for hating her as much as he did but he hated her. Within the blink of an eye he had one of his custom made revolvers pointed at her ,But it wasnt pointed at any lethal areas it was pointed at the top of her head. With the pull of a trigger a large bang echoed through the air and instantly the croud of kids would skatter. Although the bullet wouldnt hit anyone. After cutting through a stray hair that blew through the wind awkwardly it became embedded into the wall behind her. "Their....Sorry Just bothering me...You always had beautiful hair.....And...It ....Was bothering me..." After holstering his left revolver he spoke ,Softly poking his index fingers together. "But Nevertheless....Long time no see ...Schnee...."

Ōku Nomoji [~Weiss Schnee~]
The woman crossed her arms as she took in the sight of the other. Of course, she still couldn't stand the great Eos Heir herself, but at the same time, she at least had the knowledge to not cause a scene in the middle of an entire courtyard full of people! If there had been any teachers or professors in the area, he very well could have possibly had been expelled for that little show of ego, and she wouldn't have minded it one bit.
"Oh great. It's you," she stated, her icy orbs narrowing significantly. Why, out of all people, did it have to be H I M that she had to run across? "And for Y O U R information, I am nothing like my father! If I helped you just so you could taunt me afterwards, you can simply disappear out of my sight!"
She turned herself on her heel, her head lifting upwards. She was not pleased in the slightest that he had attacked her out of nowhere, that he had even considered lifting his weapon against an opponent that didn't even have her Dust Rapier on her; that was left in her locker. You know? Because they were in a N O N C O M B A T Z O N E ?
Turning her gaze around, ensuring that no one had been injured during his little temper tantrum, she moved her attention back towards him as soon as he began speaking once more.
"At least call me by my name! It is not Schnee! It's Weiss! And if you are going to be a student here at Beacon Academy.. the least we can do is put our family feud behind us. We aren't our fathers, and we are not the Dust Companies that we are apart of. Here we're just... Weiss and Icarus. The same as everyone else."

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos Icarus reached over and plucked the strand of white hair out of the air before tossing it in the trash. After that he turned his attention back to her and let out a soft sigh ,What she said did make sense. Now that his father was gone their was no reason to keep up this stupid fued. He ran one of his hands through his jet blacl hair ,Ruffling it a bit before looking to the side awkwardly. "Im....Sorry Weiss. I wasnt trying to hurt you at all ,Its just things have been really hard for me and admittedly Im quite drunk right now so maby walking over and plucking the stray hair off your head would have the same affect as shooting it. " He straitened his composure and ran his hand back through his hair to straighten it before adjusting his tie. He quickly reached inti his pocket ,Pulling a mint that he picked up at the receptionists table at his father company. "I guess its time I gave you a proper Introduction.....Sense...I have been a dick all of my life...Mrs Weiss...Allow me to introduce myself. I am Icarus Aurae Eos....Master....Or Well...Soon to be Master huntsman ..." A soft blush of embarrasment ran across his cheeks but he quickly spoke again. "And Current head of the Eos Unlimited....Witch you will be happy to know has ended all of its Illicit busness activities whoo...The whitefang wasnt happy about that. " Suddenly his eyes widened and he looked around ,Seeing that everyone but Weiss had left already he let out a sigh of relief. "Okay...I guess you can know this secret....Because my Moms a fauness....We had...Connections with the whitefang....And my father use it to sell of his surplus milatary goods...Probably shouldnt be tellijg you this but...Just...Im trying to make the world a better place. We are now doing a branch program with Atlas giving them "Support troops" and top of the line Eos munitions...."He said proudly and with a smirk on his face. Suddenly one black cat ear would pop up from under his jet black hair and he eould wince in pain. "Aww damn...I thought my receptionist did this properally. ". He lets out a soft sigh as he reaches down ,Pulling a thin strip of metal out of hia hair and as soon as he did the other cat ear popped up. They twitched before he places the stip of metal over them both ,Hiding both them and the strip of metal with his hair. "Dont judge....I hear that Fauness are bullied around here....I have my tail wrapped around my waist..You have no clue how painful it is sitting on your tail..." He scratched his chin softly before an Idea came to him. "Oh yeah...I actually would like to sit down with your family sometime ....Im the near future about ....Mirging our companies...Well not mirging but..Me buying a large portion of designs off your family for personal use..."

Ōku Nomoji
Ōku Nomoji The woman listened to the others words, her eyes narrowing significantly. He came to Beacon Academy, a school for Hunters and Huntresses - a P R E S T I G I O U S school at that - drunk? There was no point in it at all. What? Did he want to be expelled on the very first day that he got here? In all honesty, he was even worse than Ruby Rose the first day she had met the fifteen year old.. Hopefully, Icarus would straighten himself up as well as Ruby had..
She watched the movements of the raven-haired male in front of her, keeping a close eye on his movements. Of course, she knew he wouldn't attack her again; she understood that completely. At the same time, if she was inebriated, there were other things she needed to see from him. How was his mental state? How was he doing? Was he going to be alright here at Beacon?
Naturally, she was like everyone else; she had already read the newspapers, heard the information about what had transpired that night, and how he got his letter into Beacon Academy here in Vale. It wasn't as though she was some kind of idiotic dolt who didn't pay attention to the makings of the world around her, especially when one of those articles were about her family's feud with another member of the multi-billionaire world.
"Wow, you think?" she asked, her tone still a bit rude, though her body language relaxing softly towards the former adversary. At least he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders, seemed to be okay to focus on things fairly well. There was nothing else that could happen that would make this visit worse, right?
Oh, boy was she wrong.
"Icarus, then," she stated, giving a slight curtsy towards him. It was only fair to give respect where respect was earned, and although he was being excessively self-conceited and truly cocky, at least it was good to have big dreams, as Yang would say at least. She watched as the blush crossed his features, her mind wondering what exactly was stated that was so embarrassing - until he continued talking.
If only she was the head of her own family business; then, they wouldn't have to worry about Faunus being hurt or the other illicit activities that had occurred during her father's reign. Naturally, she wouldn't be able to fix everything, but she could at least try to help as much as she could after she took over the business. The Schnee name didn't start with her father, nor was she willing to let it be the last name that it ended with.
It was his next line that drew her out of her thoughts, her eyes widening. It was a good thing everyone else had completely abandoned the courtyard, otherwise, there could have been a decent bit of an issue going on afterwards.
"Sell military goods... TO THE WHITE FANG ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" she exclaimed, stomping her foot on the ground. "Do you know how much of that dust, of any of those weapons, could have been used to kill and attack innocent people? Rob people of medicine and the rest of the goods necessary to proper living?" Especially up in the northern territories or in the poorer Kingdoms, some of the items that were carried on the trains that were ransacked by the White Fang were important and vital to their survival! This.. was not okay news to hear at all.
At least Icarus had stopped it. At least, that was hwat he said about it.
It was a surprise when jet black hears danced upon his crown. Blinking at the form, she sighed, shaking her head and walking over to him, pulling the metal out and helping him smooth his ears down. Too bad he wasn't a girl, or he could have done like Blake and covered the ears up in a bow. Maybe he could wear a hat of some sort - though, hats weren't necessarily allowed around here. Not during school hours, anyway.
"You know, hiding who you are isn't necessarily the best detail that you could do around here, though," she states, crossing her arms after she takes a peek at the handy work. "People do bully Faunus here, but honestly, Cardin bullies everyone, so it isn't as though you would be special treatment or anything."
And finally.. finally the last information that nearly made her snap.
"Excuse me?" she states, her voice raising an octave. "You believe that you could go, sit down with my family, and have them be okay with you buying off designs from our company? No offense at all, but you are still an opposing member; that would be a dumb move on our part as far as being financially stable goes, and on top of that..."
Her glare dies down as she looked towards the ground. "It would be a foolish idea anyway. My dad would never approve of it. You know how he is by now."

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos Icarus remained silent as the grave as she spoke , He knew he already made a terrible first impression and he still probably had a ton of explaining to but he still remained quiet as she spoke. Once she pulled the piece of metal away from his ears he attempted to make a grab for it but when she helped smoothed his hears his arms dropped down and he let out a soft "Purrrrr" sound that eminated from deep within his chest and after she was done he grabbed the piece of metal back Sliding it over his ears and clippinng them down to a hidden headband that followed his hairline and waited her to finish speaking. Once Weiss was done speaking he held out his Index finger and cleared his throat. "First of all...You dont have to be rude...I was under the assumption you didnt care about me or my familys affairs. Second of all....My father loved my mother..."He looks down Wiping a tear away from his cheek. "They both knew the Whitefang couldn't change the world for better but at least they could change the world for the better of the Faunus...And I know that..Thats why I found out that 12 percent of my Dust stock was instantly shipped to the whitefang HQ I cut off all contact and gave various Locations to Atlas and even offered troops and additional support to the Atlas corporation... I found out yesterday I have a 12,000,000 dollar bounty on my head. I had to kill three people this morning...Wasnt fun trust me...I was trying to use the washroom and an assassin killed one of my maids...So I shattered him and his friends...Second of all....Im hiding what I am for a noble reason. Im going to save the world one day wether by myself or my company....And Im going to reveal to the world that their savior is a faunus....That with my team Humans and Fanusus can live in peace and harmony , Or even more achieve the impossible....That with complete Unity we can live in peace...and for your last statment" He balls up his fists Letting out a soft sigh. " Eos munitions are known for one thing...their Dust infused weapons...."He opened his hands revealing a small Ice crystal. "Meanwhile your company is known for their quallity of dust and munitions....Thats how we have survived in the busness world...You do ammo and dust...I give the great guns...Well...and Lower quallity ammo and dust...Im not asking for my company to have the designs...I Just need the high quality dust and ammo for myself....I will openly pay handomly and sign a contract that states the ammo and dust is for my own personal use....And you can even send your company over to examine both my dust stockpile and Ammo depots to check that they follow specific Eos designs "

Ōku Nomoji
Ōku Nomoji Weiss listened as the purr escaped his chest, the reverbrating sound causing her to pet his ears a little more. Smoothing the ears were something that would help ease the pain of the metal that had been strapped to them, help cause them to be able to grow a little less stressed and frozen from the unnatural angle that he was keeping them at for a constant amount of time. It wasn't good, that Faunus had to hide who they were like this; even Blake hid her own ears behind a single, black bow. It was irritating to say the least... annoying to see how much people could truly cause so much trouble for the Faunus.
And it was irritating to know that she used to be one of those people. Sure, she didn't hate all Faunus, but those of the White Fang... Those, she hadn't cared about who had gotten hurt and who were spared. She had even turned her back on her own teammate for a small amount of time when Blake had just casually let it slip in her anger that she was once one of those rapscallion ingrates.
It was then that the conversation began to pick back up, and it was then that she wanted to punch him once again. Who knows? Maybe it was fate that the two Heirs of the biggest Dust Companies in the world would never be able to get along. Maybe it was just... not in their nature.
"I don't know if they would change the world for the Faunus for the better, Icarus," she stated, turning her head away. "What they are doing now is simply growing up their own charges by adding fuel to the fire. People are scared of Faunus, not thinking they are equal, and terroristic thoughts such as the ones the White Fang has only helps to amplify negative emotions instead of improving the positive." She clenches her fist, her very thoughts moving to Tukson and a few of the other Faunus that had their lives destroyed for their association with the White Fang, be it by the organization itself... or by those who were not pleased with the endeavors that had been claimed before they turned away.
Her fists clenched more. She didn't want to hear his sob story about him having to kill people! Why did everyone think that murder was a good thing? It might have been something that was necessary, something that had to be done, but still... that wasn't the way things should be caused by!
"Humans and Faunus can life in peace, but in the end, you are not going to save the world yourself, and no one else is going to follow you. It is a good aspiration to have, to change it, but it is going to take a lot more than just yourself and a company to unify these nations that have been starting to fall apart again through war."
She listened to the rest of his words, shaking her head. "I am not sure if we could trust you, Icarus. Regardless, that is something you would have to pick up with my father, not myself. So if you would kindly stop making our meeting as students business-oriented, I would greatly appreciate it."
Weiss knew she sounded colder and colder by the second, but in all honesty... he was getting on her nerves. These were not conversations students should be having.

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos "Look....We have different political oppinions but if you really knew what it was like for us as a species then you would understand why things where they are today...." He let out a soft sigh before taking the metal wire out of his hair ,His jet black tail unwraveling around his waist and dancing around the space behind him slowly. "Their is a reason why I hide who I am....Theirs probably...1/4 of this school is made up of faunus...Meanwhile how many people do you see with their ears ...Horns....Well the occaisional person but you get my point.." He softly screaches his ears ,Letting out that soft purr once again as his tail streaches out for a moment ,Returning to the slow dance afterwards. "Someone had to step up and fight for else because no one would...Unfortunately for you...it was a psychopath..." He lets out a soft sigh before manually buttoning the wires to a small metal strip that was hidden by his hairline before strapping down both ears with an aggrovated Expression. "Just......I wish things were diffrent..For everyone and...." He bows once again before sighing softly. "Thanks for talking....Ever sense my dad died I havent really had anyone I could chat with..." He ran one hand through his hair ,Cringing softly when he accedentlly scratches his ears. "So...On a diffrent note..How have you been...Is your sister still...I dont even know...I always got the coldest vibes from her...so if she was ever okay is she okay?"

Ōku Nomoji She crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes slightly as she poked him in the chest again. "Look, I already know how deadly and bad it is for those of you that are Faunus. One of my best friends is a Faunus, you know?" she states, shaking her head. Blake didn't want to be called out as being different, but it was clear that Weiss was going to make certain that Icarus knew just how important Faunus in general were to her.
"You know, maybe if you all weren't so scared of being shown up by humans, you might actually be able to gain a little bit of respect," came the blunt response. "No one enjoys being surrounded by cowards." And while she wasn't trying to be callous or rude about it, in her eyes, the people who hid themselves away were exactly that. They were abandoning who they were in choice of trying to blend in and make friends with people who wouldn't care about them the instant they found out who they were.
Not all humans were bad, but not all Faunus were good, either. "Besides.. with everything that has gone on the past few years, the past few decades, you can't really blame anyone for not trusting each other. We humans haven't been the best people in Remnant - neither have your fellows."
Sighing, she shook her head. "If that is what you would consider a hero, I think you are badly mistaken." Not after everything that had been done. She had lost family member after family member from the standoff that had been occurring with the White Fang. Had lost faith after faith, innocence after innocence. It wasn't just the people they were targetting that the White Fang affected... no. It was everyone around them, even children who honestly had no means of defending themselves from foes that were strong enough to cause them harm.
Seeing the expression on his face and the words the escaped his lips, she turned her head to the side, icy blues filled with something that resembled sadness for just a moment. "You aren't the only one, Icarus." Wasn't the only one who wished that the world could be changed. He wasn't the only one that wished that all of the past atrocities could be mended and dealt away with. He wasn't the only one who had lost family, who had lost faith, who had lost trust in everyone around them.
No. He was far from the only one.
She sighs, turning her expression back towards him. "There is honestly nothing for you to thank me for. I was simply here, and decided to have a chat while we had a chance. That is all there is to it."
Though, the question about Winter slightly knocked her aback, she didn't show it. Hands being placed on her hips by the words he had spoken, she shook her head. "Winter has been doing fine, as always. She is giving you the cold shoulder because you aren't necessarily her favorite person."

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos As soon as Weiss poked his chest he took a step back and straightened his tie so it perfectly ran along the buttons of his white dress shirt befpre speaking. "Well...I will be dammed...After whats happened to you of all people I would have never expected you to be friends with a Faunus. Honestly I half expected you to hate me even more once you found out what I am.." He slowly raises his shirt just enough so she could see the bottom of his muscular abdomen ,The tips of several diffrent scars could be seen clearly. He slowly took his time to run his tail through each loop of his combat jeans before pulling his shirt back down. After he is done that he proceeded to pat down his ears so they were pinned back down before running the strap of metal back over them so they were perfectly hidden. As soon as she said the phrase "sorrounded by cowards" his fists balled up and his eyes widened. He quickly stuck out his finger and replied. "Look we are not afraid of being shown up by humans...We are afraid of being treated horribly. We would rather hide what and who we are then deal with the consequences of being what we are...I have watched a friend get her ears torn off because of a " Practical joke" he raised both of his hands ,Making quotation marks with his fingers as he said those words.
"Look ...Most white fang dont concider Adam to be a hero...We concider him all we have. If their were any other choice we would take it...But unfortunately those Faunus who dont work with the white fang are concidered to be working with the humans and thats punishable by death. Why do you think I have a 24,000 dollar bounty on my head...I may be an asshole but Im not evil.." He lets out another sigh as he lowers his arms Stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Look you say not to thank you but it does mean alot...I have treated you horribly over the years and I do regret it. Im not a bad person..I was just to wrapped up in my familys pride to treat a schnee with respect...Look where it has gotten me...My dads dead...My mother hasnt spoken a word to me sense it happened...She just looks at me with a lool of shame because I couldnt stop it...I havent been able to sleep without having a nightmare in the last week or so.." He shakes his head as he looks back down ,Softly kicking the pavmemt. "And I understand that...I habent treated your family with kindness or respect so I guess the cold shoulder is better then I deserve...

[~Weiss Schnee~]
[~ C L O S E D R P ~]
{RWBYverse}
Weiss Schnee, Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company of Atlas. Weiss Schnee, the perfect angel among the Hunters and Huntresses of Beacon Academy, leagues above them in wisdom, skill, and the inherent ability to battle. Weiss Schnee, partner to the Leader of Team RWBY. Weiss Schnee, the girl everyone went after, wanted to befriend to get in on the good books.
Weiss Schnee... The loneliest person in all of Beacon.
Who was she, really? She knew who she was, she knew what she was. But what was it that made her... her? What was that essential base of emotion that truly made her special? Was it her sense of fashion? Her callous remarks? The way she would always do her best to be perfect, no matter what the situation rose too?
Was it her grades? Her brilliance? Her ability to utilize Glyphs in the most perfect harmony to create wild attacks and killer combos? Was it in the scar across her eye, the harshness of her tone, the tears that crossed her eyes every night before bed?
Weiss Schnee... the loneliest of all.
Another day at Beacon had finally made her reach her wits. As much as she loved her team - especially now that she had grown to know them, now that the group seemed to be a little more calm and more complete - she had to get away sometimes. There was only so much joy she could take at any given time before she started to feel as though she were.. well.. as though she were a burden.
She knew she wasn't; there wasn't a possible way for her to be, was there? Then again, she was a kill joy. She was someone who frowned a lot. She had too much on her mind, too much to think about and not enough time on her hands for just following around with the crowd. Already, her father had attempted to call her Scroll again - probably to yell at her about joining Beacon - and she had promptly hung up. What was the point in talking to someone who would never understand anything? Someone that merely saw her as a possession versus someone who wanted to stretch her wings and become free?
When had she started realizing things like this, started thinking about the pain of being alone? Maybe it was her first day at Beacon when she was almost blown off the side of the cliff, or maybe it was the day she started seeing just how hard the others worked to include each other - and inevitably herself as well. She had always known she was lonely, trapped, frozen in time to a beat that not even her heart could shatter. It was almost as though her very pulse was synchronized to the pain that continued to flow through her life.
Mother, gone. Father, not worth mentioning. Stressful relationship with her sister. Mending relationships with Blake and Ruby although they were still close. The only person she felt she was truly close too on that team was Yang Xiao-Long, the person who helped teach her to be able to sing again, the person who told her that everything wasn't always as bad as it seemed. But still, there was so much that made it so she couldn't break free of the past; made it so she was still.. stuck.
No matter how hard she wanted to break free, she was still, truly, a caged bird, a bird whose voice would never be able to rise and surprise the rest of the world with her beautiful tunes. A bird that was left to rot in the ruin of a catastrophic life with various disappointments and responsibilities.
Still, she was blessed for what she had now, and thinking of the grandeur of her friends was what brought the smile to her face, a smile that normally would have never etched itself across her features.
Ruby Rose was a silly girl, two years too early to have came to Beacon. They didn't get on the right foot when they had first appeared, but later on, she had proved herself to be a capable leader, ally, and friend... and Weiss had shown that she was more than willing to become the best partner ever allied to her.
Blake Belladonna was ... quiet. She was depressive and upset at the best of times, and there were times where Weiss worried herself stupid over her health - not that she was going to tell her any of that, of course. Still, she was someone that was always willing to lend a listening ear, someone that she could just spend a moment of silence with if she didn't want to talk. Usually, that silence was golden, sometimes broken by quiet laughs on both of their sides.
Finally, there was Yang. Yang Xiao-Long, the Pun Queen of Beacon. Yang was the person that started everything with Weiss, had really started breaking her out of the frozen tundra she had hidden herself away in. The Sun of Team RWBY and the Frost seemed to be something that no one would ever have imagined to be a good pair, but they truly were. They worked well together, understood each other better than anyone else on their team.. It was Yang that helped keep Weiss' spirits up, and Weiss that helped keep the flaming temper down.
In the end, their entire team was a team of opposites, but that was the beauty of it. That was, indeed, the perfection of their team.
Regardless of her thoughts, however, that nagging feeling of becoming too close to those she shouldn't, that emotion of being annoying, seemed to stretch itself across her mind. Nature had a serene feel to it, a means of calming her down, and thus, she had came to the park, breathing in the soft scent of the lake, watching the birds flying through the air.
Oh, how she wished she could be like those birds... Carefree, gentle, oh so free...
She stopped as she took a gaze at them, her icy orbs slowly seeming to melt, a single sweet tear rolling its way down her smooth, alabaster cheek. Lifting her sleeve, she wiped it away, hoping beyond hope that no one had caught her in her brief moment of weakness.
Weiss Schnee? Crying? How ludicrous! she chided herself. Come on, Weiss, you can do better than this.
Picking up one of her feet, the boot shining in the sunlight, she was about to take another step before...
"Weiss, Weiss! You need to come to the school right now! There's this strange, big shot guy that is here! It is said that he is the head of a multi-million dollar company like yours!"
Blinking, the icy blue orbs narrowed significantly as she read the message offered her from her leader and teammate. If this was who she thought it was... this was not going to be good - for the boy, anyway.
Immediately, she set off towards Beacon. She refused to allow anyone to treat him as an outsider, not after all that they have done to her as well!
----
Finally, she reached Beacon. It was obvious from the glances around her that they had viewed this man as a celebrity, that he was another one of those big names on the big screen, another man with another appearance dancing across the universe.
"Excuse me, Heiress coming through!" she shouted, causing the students to part their ways as she shoved past them.
"Seriously, do you not know how to handle onlookers?" she asked, pointing her finger at the male. "You had one job, and so far, you have done nothing but mess it up! Let's go before they continue to make you appear like a total dolt!"

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos As soon as the heiress caught the mans attention his expression would change from complete and udder confusion to a slight smile. His eyes shot off to the side and he closed them for a moment ,By the time he opened them his left eye would have changed. A pale white cresent moon had bloo med in his left pupil and now began to glow slightly. "Long time no see Snow white....What your here? If I would have known that I would accepted the offers from Vales academy so I wouldnt have to be in the same school as the Legendary Weiss Schnee....Just a chip off the old...Block.." For some reason he found himself unable to insult her although he desperatley wanted to call her an Unending ammount of slurs and insults. This hadnt been the first time they met ,They had met in elementary school. Due to the fact that their parents were the largest rivals in the dust world he naturally hated her ,Admittedly he didnt have a good reason for hating her as much as he did but he hated her. Within the blink of an eye he had one of his custom made revolvers pointed at her ,But it wasnt pointed at any lethal areas it was pointed at the top of her head. With the pull of a trigger a large bang echoed through the air and instantly the croud of kids would skatter. Although the bullet wouldnt hit anyone. After cutting through a stray hair that blew through the wind awkwardly it became embedded into the wall behind her. "Their....Sorry Just bothering me...You always had beautiful hair.....And...It ....Was bothering me..." After holstering his left revolver he spoke ,Softly poking his index fingers together. "But Nevertheless....Long time no see ...Schnee...."

Ōku Nomoji [~Weiss Schnee~]
The woman crossed her arms as she took in the sight of the other. Of course, she still couldn't stand the great Eos Heir herself, but at the same time, she at least had the knowledge to not cause a scene in the middle of an entire courtyard full of people! If there had been any teachers or professors in the area, he very well could have possibly had been expelled for that little show of ego, and she wouldn't have minded it one bit.
"Oh great. It's you," she stated, her icy orbs narrowing significantly. Why, out of all people, did it have to be H I M that she had to run across? "And for Y O U R information, I am nothing like my father! If I helped you just so you could taunt me afterwards, you can simply disappear out of my sight!"
She turned herself on her heel, her head lifting upwards. She was not pleased in the slightest that he had attacked her out of nowhere, that he had even considered lifting his weapon against an opponent that didn't even have her Dust Rapier on her; that was left in her locker. You know? Because they were in a N O N C O M B A T Z O N E ?
Turning her gaze around, ensuring that no one had been injured during his little temper tantrum, she moved her attention back towards him as soon as he began speaking once more.
"At least call me by my name! It is not Schnee! It's Weiss! And if you are going to be a student here at Beacon Academy.. the least we can do is put our family feud behind us. We aren't our fathers, and we are not the Dust Companies that we are apart of. Here we're just... Weiss and Icarus. The same as everyone else."

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos Icarus reached over and plucked the strand of white hair out of the air before tossing it in the trash. After that he turned his attention back to her and let out a soft sigh ,What she said did make sense. Now that his father was gone their was no reason to keep up this stupid fued. He ran one of his hands through his jet blacl hair ,Ruffling it a bit before looking to the side awkwardly. "Im....Sorry Weiss. I wasnt trying to hurt you at all ,Its just things have been really hard for me and admittedly Im quite drunk right now so maby walking over and plucking the stray hair off your head would have the same affect as shooting it. " He straitened his composure and ran his hand back through his hair to straighten it before adjusting his tie. He quickly reached inti his pocket ,Pulling a mint that he picked up at the receptionists table at his father company. "I guess its time I gave you a proper Introduction.....Sense...I have been a dick all of my life...Mrs Weiss...Allow me to introduce myself. I am Icarus Aurae Eos....Master....Or Well...Soon to be Master huntsman ..." A soft blush of embarrasment ran across his cheeks but he quickly spoke again. "And Current head of the Eos Unlimited....Witch you will be happy to know has ended all of its Illicit busness activities whoo...The whitefang wasnt happy about that. " Suddenly his eyes widened and he looked around ,Seeing that everyone but Weiss had left already he let out a sigh of relief. "Okay...I guess you can know this secret....Because my Moms a fauness....We had...Connections with the whitefang....And my father use it to sell of his surplus milatary goods...Probably shouldnt be tellijg you this but...Just...Im trying to make the world a better place. We are now doing a branch program with Atlas giving them "Support troops" and top of the line Eos munitions...."He said proudly and with a smirk on his face. Suddenly one black cat ear would pop up from under his jet black hair and he eould wince in pain. "Aww damn...I thought my receptionist did this properally. ". He lets out a soft sigh as he reaches down ,Pulling a thin strip of metal out of hia hair and as soon as he did the other cat ear popped up. They twitched before he places the stip of metal over them both ,Hiding both them and the strip of metal with his hair. "Dont judge....I hear that Fauness are bullied around here....I have my tail wrapped around my waist..You have no clue how painful it is sitting on your tail..." He scratched his chin softly before an Idea came to him. "Oh yeah...I actually would like to sit down with your family sometime ....Im the near future about ....Mirging our companies...Well not mirging but..Me buying a large portion of designs off your family for personal use..."

Ōku Nomoji
Ōku Nomoji The woman listened to the others words, her eyes narrowing significantly. He came to Beacon Academy, a school for Hunters and Huntresses - a P R E S T I G I O U S school at that - drunk? There was no point in it at all. What? Did he want to be expelled on the very first day that he got here? In all honesty, he was even worse than Ruby Rose the first day she had met the fifteen year old.. Hopefully, Icarus would straighten himself up as well as Ruby had..
She watched the movements of the raven-haired male in front of her, keeping a close eye on his movements. Of course, she knew he wouldn't attack her again; she understood that completely. At the same time, if she was inebriated, there were other things she needed to see from him. How was his mental state? How was he doing? Was he going to be alright here at Beacon?
Naturally, she was like everyone else; she had already read the newspapers, heard the information about what had transpired that night, and how he got his letter into Beacon Academy here in Vale. It wasn't as though she was some kind of idiotic dolt who didn't pay attention to the makings of the world around her, especially when one of those articles were about her family's feud with another member of the multi-billionaire world.
"Wow, you think?" she asked, her tone still a bit rude, though her body language relaxing softly towards the former adversary. At least he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders, seemed to be okay to focus on things fairly well. There was nothing else that could happen that would make this visit worse, right?
Oh, boy was she wrong.
"Icarus, then," she stated, giving a slight curtsy towards him. It was only fair to give respect where respect was earned, and although he was being excessively self-conceited and truly cocky, at least it was good to have big dreams, as Yang would say at least. She watched as the blush crossed his features, her mind wondering what exactly was stated that was so embarrassing - until he continued talking.
If only she was the head of her own family business; then, they wouldn't have to worry about Faunus being hurt or the other illicit activities that had occurred during her father's reign. Naturally, she wouldn't be able to fix everything, but she could at least try to help as much as she could after she took over the business. The Schnee name didn't start with her father, nor was she willing to let it be the last name that it ended with.
It was his next line that drew her out of her thoughts, her eyes widening. It was a good thing everyone else had completely abandoned the courtyard, otherwise, there could have been a decent bit of an issue going on afterwards.
"Sell military goods... TO THE WHITE FANG ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" she exclaimed, stomping her foot on the ground. "Do you know how much of that dust, of any of those weapons, could have been used to kill and attack innocent people? Rob people of medicine and the rest of the goods necessary to proper living?" Especially up in the northern territories or in the poorer Kingdoms, some of the items that were carried on the trains that were ransacked by the White Fang were important and vital to their survival! This.. was not okay news to hear at all.
At least Icarus had stopped it. At least, that was hwat he said about it.
It was a surprise when jet black hears danced upon his crown. Blinking at the form, she sighed, shaking her head and walking over to him, pulling the metal out and helping him smooth his ears down. Too bad he wasn't a girl, or he could have done like Blake and covered the ears up in a bow. Maybe he could wear a hat of some sort - though, hats weren't necessarily allowed around here. Not during school hours, anyway.
"You know, hiding who you are isn't necessarily the best detail that you could do around here, though," she states, crossing her arms after she takes a peek at the handy work. "People do bully Faunus here, but honestly, Cardin bullies everyone, so it isn't as though you would be special treatment or anything."
And finally.. finally the last information that nearly made her snap.
"Excuse me?" she states, her voice raising an octave. "You believe that you could go, sit down with my family, and have them be okay with you buying off designs from our company? No offense at all, but you are still an opposing member; that would be a dumb move on our part as far as being financially stable goes, and on top of that..."
Her glare dies down as she looked towards the ground. "It would be a foolish idea anyway. My dad would never approve of it. You know how he is by now."

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos Icarus remained silent as the grave as she spoke , He knew he already made a terrible first impression and he still probably had a ton of explaining to but he still remained quiet as she spoke. Once she pulled the piece of metal away from his ears he attempted to make a grab for it but when she helped smoothed his hears his arms dropped down and he let out a soft "Purrrrr" sound that eminated from deep within his chest and after she was done he grabbed the piece of metal back Sliding it over his ears and clippinng them down to a hidden headband that followed his hairline and waited her to finish speaking. Once Weiss was done speaking he held out his Index finger and cleared his throat. "First of all...You dont have to be rude...I was under the assumption you didnt care about me or my familys affairs. Second of all....My father loved my mother..."He looks down Wiping a tear away from his cheek. "They both knew the Whitefang couldn't change the world for better but at least they could change the world for the better of the Faunus...And I know that..Thats why I found out that 12 percent of my Dust stock was instantly shipped to the whitefang HQ I cut off all contact and gave various Locations to Atlas and even offered troops and additional support to the Atlas corporation... I found out yesterday I have a 12,000,000 dollar bounty on my head. I had to kill three people this morning...Wasnt fun trust me...I was trying to use the washroom and an assassin killed one of my maids...So I shattered him and his friends...Second of all....Im hiding what I am for a noble reason. Im going to save the world one day wether by myself or my company....And Im going to reveal to the world that their savior is a faunus....That with my team Humans and Fanusus can live in peace and harmony , Or even more achieve the impossible....That with complete Unity we can live in peace...and for your last statment" He balls up his fists Letting out a soft sigh. " Eos munitions are known for one thing...their Dust infused weapons...."He opened his hands revealing a small Ice crystal. "Meanwhile your company is known for their quallity of dust and munitions....Thats how we have survived in the busness world...You do ammo and dust...I give the great guns...Well...and Lower quallity ammo and dust...Im not asking for my company to have the designs...I Just need the high quality dust and ammo for myself....I will openly pay handomly and sign a contract that states the ammo and dust is for my own personal use....And you can even send your company over to examine both my dust stockpile and Ammo depots to check that they follow specific Eos designs "

Ōku Nomoji
Ōku Nomoji Weiss listened as the purr escaped his chest, the reverbrating sound causing her to pet his ears a little more. Smoothing the ears were something that would help ease the pain of the metal that had been strapped to them, help cause them to be able to grow a little less stressed and frozen from the unnatural angle that he was keeping them at for a constant amount of time. It wasn't good, that Faunus had to hide who they were like this; even Blake hid her own ears behind a single, black bow. It was irritating to say the least... annoying to see how much people could truly cause so much trouble for the Faunus.
And it was irritating to know that she used to be one of those people. Sure, she didn't hate all Faunus, but those of the White Fang... Those, she hadn't cared about who had gotten hurt and who were spared. She had even turned her back on her own teammate for a small amount of time when Blake had just casually let it slip in her anger that she was once one of those rapscallion ingrates.
It was then that the conversation began to pick back up, and it was then that she wanted to punch him once again. Who knows? Maybe it was fate that the two Heirs of the biggest Dust Companies in the world would never be able to get along. Maybe it was just... not in their nature.
"I don't know if they would change the world for the Faunus for the better, Icarus," she stated, turning her head away. "What they are doing now is simply growing up their own charges by adding fuel to the fire. People are scared of Faunus, not thinking they are equal, and terroristic thoughts such as the ones the White Fang has only helps to amplify negative emotions instead of improving the positive." She clenches her fist, her very thoughts moving to Tukson and a few of the other Faunus that had their lives destroyed for their association with the White Fang, be it by the organization itself... or by those who were not pleased with the endeavors that had been claimed before they turned away.
Her fists clenched more. She didn't want to hear his sob story about him having to kill people! Why did everyone think that murder was a good thing? It might have been something that was necessary, something that had to be done, but still... that wasn't the way things should be caused by!
"Humans and Faunus can life in peace, but in the end, you are not going to save the world yourself, and no one else is going to follow you. It is a good aspiration to have, to change it, but it is going to take a lot more than just yourself and a company to unify these nations that have been starting to fall apart again through war."
She listened to the rest of his words, shaking her head. "I am not sure if we could trust you, Icarus. Regardless, that is something you would have to pick up with my father, not myself. So if you would kindly stop making our meeting as students business-oriented, I would greatly appreciate it."
Weiss knew she sounded colder and colder by the second, but in all honesty... he was getting on her nerves. These were not conversations students should be having.

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos "Look....We have different political oppinions but if you really knew what it was like for us as a species then you would understand why things where they are today...." He let out a soft sigh before taking the metal wire out of his hair ,His jet black tail unwraveling around his waist and dancing around the space behind him slowly. "Their is a reason why I hide who I am....Theirs probably...1/4 of this school is made up of faunus...Meanwhile how many people do you see with their ears ...Horns....Well the occaisional person but you get my point.." He softly screaches his ears ,Letting out that soft purr once again as his tail streaches out for a moment ,Returning to the slow dance afterwards. "Someone had to step up and fight for else because no one would...Unfortunately for you...it was a psychopath..." He lets out a soft sigh before manually buttoning the wires to a small metal strip that was hidden by his hairline before strapping down both ears with an aggrovated Expression. "Just......I wish things were diffrent..For everyone and...." He bows once again before sighing softly. "Thanks for talking....Ever sense my dad died I havent really had anyone I could chat with..." He ran one hand through his hair ,Cringing softly when he accedentlly scratches his ears. "So...On a diffrent note..How have you been...Is your sister still...I dont even know...I always got the coldest vibes from her...so if she was ever okay is she okay?"

Ōku Nomoji
Ōku Nomoji She crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes slightly as she poked him in the chest again. "Look, I already know how deadly and bad it is for those of you that are Faunus. One of my best friends is a Faunus, you know?" she states, shaking her head. Blake didn't want to be called out as being different, but it was clear that Weiss was going to make certain that Icarus knew just how important Faunus in general were to her.
"You know, maybe if you all weren't so scared of being shown up by humans, you might actually be able to gain a little bit of respect," came the blunt response. "No one enjoys being surrounded by cowards." And while she wasn't trying to be callous or rude about it, in her eyes, the people who hid themselves away were exactly that. They were abandoning who they were in choice of trying to blend in and make friends with people who wouldn't care about them the instant they found out who they were.
Not all humans were bad, but not all Faunus were good, either. "Besides.. with everything that has gone on the past few years, the past few decades, you can't really blame anyone for not trusting each other. We humans haven't been the best people in Remnant - neither have your fellows."
Sighing, she shook her head. "If that is what you would consider a hero, I think you are badly mistaken." Not after everything that had been done. She had lost family member after family member from the standoff that had been occurring with the White Fang. Had lost faith after faith, innocence after innocence. It wasn't just the people they were targetting that the White Fang affected... no. It was everyone around them, even children who honestly had no means of defending themselves from foes that were strong enough to cause them harm.
Seeing the expression on his face and the words the escaped his lips, she turned her head to the side, icy blues filled with something that resembled sadness for just a moment. "You aren't the only one, Icarus." Wasn't the only one who wished that the world could be changed. He wasn't the only one that wished that all of the past atrocities could be mended and dealt away with. He wasn't the only one who had lost family, who had lost faith, who had lost trust in everyone around them.
No. He was far from the only one.
She sighs, turning her expression back towards him. "There is honestly nothing for you to thank me for. I was simply here, and decided to have a chat while we had a chance. That is all there is to it."
Though, the question about Winter slightly knocked her aback, she didn't show it. Hands being placed on her hips by the words he had spoken, she shook her head. "Winter has been doing fine, as always. She is giving you the cold shoulder because you aren't necessarily her favorite person."

Icarus Aurae Eos
Icarus Aurae Eos As soon as Weiss poked his chest he took a step back and straightened his tie so it perfectly ran along the buttons of his white dress shirt befpre speaking. "Well...I will be dammed...After whats happened to you of all people I would have never expected you to be friends with a Faunus. Honestly I half expected you to hate me even more once you found out what I am.." He slowly raises his shirt just enough so she could see the bottom of his muscular abdomen ,The tips of several diffrent scars could be seen clearly. He slowly took his time to run his tail through each loop of his combat jeans before pulling his shirt back down. After he is done that he proceeded to pat down his ears so they were pinned back down before running the strap of metal back over them so they were perfectly hidden. As soon as she said the phrase "sorrounded by cowards" his fists balled up and his eyes widened. He quickly stuck out his finger and replied. "Look we are not afraid of being shown up by humans...We are afraid of being treated horribly. We would rather hide what and who we are then deal with the consequences of being what we are...I have watched a friend get her ears torn off because of a " Practical joke" he raised both of his hands ,Making quotation marks with his fingers as he said those words.
"Look ...Most white fang dont concider Adam to be a hero...We concider him all we have. If their were any other choice we would take it...But unfortunately those Faunus who dont work with the white fang are concidered to be working with the humans and thats punishable by death. Why do you think I have a 24,000 dollar bounty on my head...I may be an asshole but Im not evil.." He lets out another sigh as he lowers his arms Stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Look you say not to thank you but it does mean alot...I have treated you horribly over the years and I do regret it. Im not a bad person..I was just to wrapped up in my familys pride to treat a schnee with respect...Look where it has gotten me...My dads dead...My mother hasnt spoken a word to me sense it happened...She just looks at me with a lool of shame because I couldnt stop it...I havent been able to sleep without having a nightmare in the last week or so.." He shakes his head as he looks back down ,Softly kicking the pavmemt. "And I understand that...I habent treated your family with kindness or respect so I guess the cold shoulder is better then I deserve...
