Yang Xiao Long - RWBY

Imagine each member of Team RWBY's been told to take on a mythical archetype. Who's who?

Well, let's see. Ruby is either the everyman or the hero. I don't mind being the jester, obviously, and you've got traits of the outlaw, Blake. I'm not sure where Weiss falls. Maybe the magician?

You say you don't mind being the jester, Yang, but is there something you'd rather be? For what it's worth, I think explorer suits you better.

You're definitely right that outlaw's the best fit for me on this chart, but whoever made it must have had an establishment bias... I don't think we should call people who strive for foundational social change "outlaws" based on their yearning for liberation alone.

Ruby's relationship to her silver eyes fits the hero archetype, but she's a warmer person than a focus on "mastery" gives her credit for.

As for Weiss... When I met her, she seemed like a ruler. Now I think she's more of a caregiver.

... You're right, Blake. I was too busy thinking in the rules of the chart, and not about what biases it or I might have had. I should have thought it through better.

Explorer, huh? That's intriguing. I'd like to know the thought behind that. And I agree with you about Ruby and Weiss... Weiss especially has changed a lot since we first became a team. And Ruby's a better leader, precisely because she cares so much about all of us.
