Patreon Reward: Intimate Fireworks
Maria Calavera was nervous. Not only had her boyfriend, Jaune, invited her to meet his family, she truly wanted to have sex with him for the first time, even having a bikini themed around the holiday that she was going to wear to seduce him! Thankfully, with the advice and encouragement from one of Jaune's mothers, she found the courage to celebrate with a different type of fireworks~
Jaune smiled as he got off the bullhead, and not only because he was finally off of the flying death trap. The other reason was the fact that he was finally able to introduce his girlfriend to his family. Speaking of…he glanced behind him to see the cocoa skinned beauty stepping off the bullhead behind him, carrying her own bag over her shoulder, looking pensive.
“Maria…are you still nervous?” he asked, glancing at his silver-eyed girlfriend. Maria Calavera had joined Beacon with them, becoming his partner and forming a team with Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie.
She was incredibly skilled with her twin Kama, Life and Death, and her eyes were among the most beautiful things he had ever seen (Ruby called them “Silver Eyed Twinsies” when she had found out she had Silver Eyes too). She was slim, but shapely, her waspish waist making her breasts and hips seem even larger than they actually were.
But despite all her skill and talent, Jaune knew that she and Ruby were twins in another way besides their eye color and preference for curved blades…they were both incredibly socially awkward.
“Don’t worry about it; my moms and sisters will love you!” and he meant that. Granted, his sisters had always teased him that it would take a special type of woman to keep up with him. He had thought it an insult, but realized that it wasn’t after a while.
Maria hadn’t found his like of comics childish or silly, like Blake. She hadn’t found the fact that he was physically weaker than her funny, like Yang. She hadn’t sniped at him for having trouble following some of the lessons, like Weiss.
She had been patient and helped him. And well, after his grades had been raised, he had offered to repay her, taking her out to a cafe he knew she liked. One outing had led to another, and eventually, they both realized that they were dating.
They had kept it quiet, feeling things out, but they both realized very quickly that they truly enjoyed each other’s company, and before they knew it they were openly dating, much to the shock of most.
But now, they were taking a big step. Since they had a three day weekend, Jaune was inviting her to his home for the fourth of July to meet his family…
…and Maria had been flustered and nervous ever since. He didn’t know why, but he knew that his moms and sisters would love her. He just hope that she could calm down…
~
Maria flushed as she found herself surrounded by a slew of blue eyed blondes (by the Gods, Jaune hadn’t been kidding about two mothers and seven sisters!), and one woman with skin a similar shake of cocoa to her own.
Terra Cotta-Arc, who had married Jaune’s older sister Saphron, had been the one to meet them, and welcomed her personally there, also letting her know that they’d be eager to learn more about her, but not to worry about anything beyond some teasing…
…which they were doing with force. She was sure her cheeks were going to be on actual fire if they kept making jokes about protection, and when were they getting nieces and nephews, and did Jaune tire her out, because he could run for hours without getting tired-
“Okay, girls! Let her breathe~!” Jaune’s mother, Juniper Arc, a beautiful and buxom blonde woman, with one blue and one green eye, said as she waved her daughters down, holding her wife, Jaune and the girl’s other mother, a slimmer, but just as curvy blonde woman by the name of Amarilla Arc, gave her a secret smile, her own silver eyes (something that made her gasp with shock when she noticed) twinkling as she glanced at their intwined hands.
As Jaune’s sisters made their way back a bit to let them breathe, Amarilla moved and gave Maria a welcoming hug. “You’re looking to actually be with him tonight, aren’t you?”
Maria’s cheeks burned, but she nodded. No point in lying, after all. She had been wanting to be with Jaune for a month now, but there had never been a proper time. She had even brought something to celebrate the holiday…cheeks getting darker, she shook her head, only to see the older woman smiling at her.
“Wait until tonight when the fireworks start~ It’ll be nice and poetic to make love under the fireworks. Go to Jaune’s room and get on the roof…you’ll love it~” Maria thought she should be mortified by how the woman winked at her in a conspiratorial manner, but she felt thankful that her boyfriends mother was willing to give her tips.
“Thank you.” she said softly, getting another cheeky grin in response, before she moved back to Juniper, and Jaune came back over from talking to his younger sisters.
“Hey, Ria…you calmer now?” he asked, taking her hand into his and rubbing it. His face was concerned, but he was smiling softly. She found herself smiling back, much more naturally this time.
“Yeah…everything is perfect, Jaune…” she hummed, cuddling up against him as they watched the entirety of the family move about during the cookout, enjoying the smells of the grilling food.
~
After a hearty meal, there had been some storytelling between all the siblings, each of them trying to one up the others with embarrassing moments of their lives. The sisters eagerly shared stories about Jaune being dressed in skirts and other embarrassing stories where he was a dress up doll for them, but Jaune took no quarter, telling just as embarrassing stories about them and their crushes. Currently, the story involved one time when Saphron had accidentally asked Jaune to read out a text because her hands were full, and it had ended up being a sex text, complete with a…less than clothed selfie of Terra.
Both women were radiating heat, Maria knowing who won that round, and it wasn’t the sisters. But she was getting antsy; it was getting late in the day, the sun slowly starting to go down. She had already changed in the bathroom earlier; her secret little garment currently rubbing up against her intimates.
It was Amarilla who spoke up next, her tone soft, but pointed. “Okay, children, calm down. You know the fireworks are going to be starting within an hour! Get cleaned up and get in place for it!” she gave Maria a wink as there was a scramble of the younger girls to run in and get cleaned up for what was to come.
~
Maria swallowed hard as she stood in Jaune’s bedroom. It was undeniably a boy’s room, with posters for Spruce Willis movies and X-Ray and Vav comics, as well as models and figurines of Huntresses and Grimm on his shelves.
“We can sit on the roof; there’s a little nook where we can see the fireworks perfectly!” Maria shifted a bit as she imagined it, much like how Jaune’s mother had teased her about doing. “If you have some more comfortable clothing, you might wanna change into it; its supposed to be really nice tonight.”
Maria swallowed hard, reminding herself of what she was wearing underneath her clothes, but she smiled daringly. “That sounds good~” she began to unbutton her shirt, revealing the flawless skin of her cleavage, the large swells of her breasts bulging out as she loosened her shirt. He didn’t notice, his back still to her, but she didn’t mind, finishing unbuttoning her top and letting it fall from her hands to his floor with an inaudible sound, revealing the brightly colored red, white, and blue bikini top barely holding her breasts back.
Her fingers popped the button of her pants, and she slowly pushed them down, revealing the bottoms that covered her mound and bottom well (she made sure she got a decently covering one, not only to tease Jaune with what was hidden, but also in case someone else saw her in it) and she walked up to him as he opened the window. “I’ve been looking forward to this…” she said, knowing that Juane would think that she meant the firework show, but she meant a different set of fireworks entirely.
“I’m glad that you are, the fireworks show is always…something…worth…” she couldn’t help but smile as Jaune turned to see her standing in his room in what amounted to a star spangled bikini.
“I think this will be suitably comfortable for the summer night air, don’t you?” she asked, smiling brightly at her boyfriend, seeing him swallowing hard, the apex of his pants swelling as his eyes trailed over her body. “Let’s get into a good spot~” she crawled out of the window, making sure to take her time and wiggle her rear as she did, smiling as she heard a choked sound coming from her boyfriend.
As they settled into the little hidden nook on the roof as the sun went down, Maria enjoying the cool breeze touching her skin, almost as much as she enjoyed a shirtless Jaune’s eyes roaming her body. She knew that she was attractive, many men had made passes at her in the halls of Beacon, both before and after she had started dating Jaune; but it felt undeniably good to know he desired her in that was as well.
“So, how long do the fireworks run?” she asked. She wanted to know so she knew how long they would have, how long they could go unnoticed.
“Uh…it generally lasts until midnight? So, we have four hours for it.” as he spoke, the first pop, pop, pops of fireworks being sent into the air began to fill the darkening sky, making Maria smile.
“Good~” she purred, reaching behind her and tugging on the knot to her bikini top, feeling the red, white, and blue top falling away from her breasts, the heavy mounds falling and settling down on her chest. She spun the bikini top on her fingers, smirking to herself as she turned fully towards her boyfriend. “Oh, Jaune~” she tossed her top at him as he turned, hitting him in the face. She couldn’t help but chuckle as he sputtered, pulling the garment off, realizing what it was, and then managing to impress her by having enough blood to blush and get hard at the same time.
Getting on all fours, for purchase as much as seductive reasons, Maria felt her breasts hang down beneath her as she slowly crawled over to her boyfriend, pushing him down and looming over him, letting her breasts brush against his chest, her nipples hardening as her starred bottom piece soaked from the look of lust that she was being given.
Maria smiled. “What do you say that we experience some more intimate fireworks?” she purred, her smile widening as she saw Jaune nod rapidly. “Wonderful~!” she hummed, her hands moving to his shorts and pulling them down, licking her lips as Jaune’s sizable cock was freed, slapping against his belly.
Sitting up and straddling his waist as the fireworks launched and burst into sparkling streams of pyrotechnics overhead, Maria tugged her bikini bottom to the side (she wasn’t patient enough to remove it entirely) and grabbed his shaft, biting her lower lip as she felt the blistering heat seep into her palm and fingers.
Rubbing his fat tip against her soaking lips, she slowly pressed down, her silver eyes rolling up in her head as she felt herself being spread open, a throaty groan escaping her mouth as she felt herself being filled, filled, filled-
Her hips began to move on their own, her core gobbling up his shaft and beginning to work up and down over his cock.
~
Jaune watched in awe as his beautiful girlfriend bounced on his cock, claiming his virginity under the night sky. The fireworks dotting the night sky lit her skin up in a beautiful, almost ethereal fashion, her breasts bouncing as she moved on top of him, her bikini bottom bunched to the side as she clenched around his shaft, bringing him more pleasure than he had ever felt.
Reaching up, he gripped her hips and helped her move more smoothly, feeling her wetness dripping over him and dribbling down over his balls, their moans lost underneath the sound of the explosions in the sky, lost in the moment, and in each other.
~
Maria moaned as Jaune helped them along, her core clenching down harder around the thick flesh within her. She was shamefully close already, but she felt no embarrassment over it, simply overjoyed that she was able to able to share this with her boyfriend.
She felt a bubble of pleasurable heat filling her belly, and the telltale tingle behind her eyes warning her that she was in danger of her silver eyes activating. Meaning she should have stopped until it faded.
But she didn’t. She wasn’t going to stop the first orgasm by something other than her own hand. She arched her back, throwing her head back with a silent wail, squeezing her eyes shut as silver light bled through the lids.
As Jaune groaned underneath her and came heartily, shooting his hot cum into her depths, Maria cried out, letting go, cumming hard, her eyes opening.
~
Amarilla Arc smiled as she could just barely see movement on the roof from where she was, cuddling into Juniper’s side, knowing that Maria had taken her up on her advice and was currently rocking her son’s world.
As the fireworks crashed overhead, lighting the night sky with colored lights, the more buxom of the pair smiled, wondering if Maria would have the same reaction during sex she always did with Juniper~
As a bright silver light flashed and filled the night sky, making their daughters coo with awe as it made the fireworks look even better, she laughed softly, even as Juniper groaned softly, realizing what was happening.
“Relax, love…it was bound to happen sooner or later~” she purred, nibbling on her wife’s earlobe. “Let’s enjoy the rest of the show…then we can have some fun of our own~?” she implored, getting a shudder out of her wife at the seductive promise behind her words.
~
Maria mewled as she looked down at her shocked boyfriend, feeling the mystical energy bleeding from her eyes. A small part of her told her to stop until it faded, and then continue.
But Sensible Huntress Maria was clubbed over the head by Horny Succubus Maria with a wrought iron shovel, enticing her to continue.
Grinning lewdly down at Jaune, she worked her hips more. “We still have plenty of time before the firework show ends…let’s see if those fireworks or ours are better~!”
~
As the last fireworks in the sky slowly faded, a fully naked Jaune and Maria cuddled against one another under the night sky, their warmth fighting off the chill of the night air cooling their sweat. “Mmm~” Jaune glanced at his beautiful girlfriend as she nuzzled against him lovingly, mewling as he rubbed her back gently.
While he would admit that it was something of a shock (and more hot than he would have thought, seeing Maria in that red, white, and blue bikini) how the night turned out, especially with the “Silver Flashbang” she pulled off with each orgasm she had during their lovemaking.
As he pulled her closer, he wondered if she would still do that later on…and with no small amount of horror, realized what those flashes coming underneath his mother’s door were now.
Shuddering, he pushed the though away, deciding to gather up his sleeping girlfriend and take her to his bed.
Who knows? Maybe in the morning they could have a repeat of what they had done?

You asked for this...dwr any prompt of your choice from the list.
Fine!
“Kisses on the cheek”
Weiss pressed her lips quickly onto Maria’s cheek, a result of some nascent joke or quip assuredly which made her heart spur. When she removed herself, Weiss quickly found her action discovered by the young Grimm Reaper.
“Frisky today, aren’t we, Schnee?” Maria laughed, her navy hair batting about her as her land snapped down—snatching Weiss’ in her own.
“I must be getting used to your humour is all.” Weiss sniped, taking the hand with a readied care. Though paused for a moment, halting their walk. “Hold on, is this another blister, here?” Weiss’ eyes flicked to her other side.
“Ruby Rose?” Weiss scowled at their third partner. “What is the meaning of this? First you receive a callous and now Maria a wound?”
Ruby blinked, her hands flying upward in surrender. “I-I-?” Silver eyes from the young warrior flung to her kin compatriot, Maria leaning out from behind the Schnee with a panicked shake of her head.
“I-I!” Ruby stumbled, then winced, “I’m sorry!! Maria and I went to workout during your lecture today!”
“Unbelievable!” Weiss shrieked even before Maria could wince from the betrayal. “I thought you two promised me we three would go together.” Weiss tore her hand away from Maria, crossing her arms in anguish. “You two best know I am not defending neither my Cinder nor Winter from my mother if they ever abscond you with another prank again!”
“Weiss, that’s unfair.” Maria scowled, warning her now rebuked hand in her own. “Ruby and I just want to look our best for you, you know that?”
“Yeah, Weiss. Come on,” Ruby got close to her partner. “Would a kiss make it better?”
Weiss glanced out of the corner of her eye to Ruby. “It would be on par with an apology, perhaps.”
Though Weiss was quickly also taken to Maria’s side, as the third of their grouping came to her side. “Do two kisses equal one formal apology then?”
“They could.” Weiss admitted before her cheeks burned with both love, embarrassment, and her lovers lips upon them. “ALRIGHT FINE NOT IN PUBLIC DOLTS!” Weiss quaked, even as her loves received negligible discipline.

To Earn Ones Favor Ch.1 - For Your Favor
Summary: Weiss was suffocating in her life as royalty. Suffocating to the point where she could barely breathe. So, when the chance to leave, to run away from her duties, from her Father who wants to marry her off, she takes it. Leaving with two silver-eyed women her life changes but whether for the better or not, well, only time will tell.
Words: 3,057
Main Relationship: Weiss Schnee/Ruby Rose/Maria Calavera
Rating: T
Notes: A commission for @powertaco to write a Deaths WhiteRose AU. Hope other people enjoy it as much as they do!
Fic:
The capital city of Atlas was a hive of activity as the birthday celebration for the King’s youngest daughter was in full swing and all were excitedly enjoying the festivities. All except for the youngest daughter whose celebration this was in honor of. She sat in the shade of a tent near the front of the tournament grounds watching as the servants set up for the main draw of the day.
Weiss leaned into her hand, letting out a heavy sigh. “Is something wrong, Your Highness?” Klein spoke as he poured tea from a porcelain pot into a matching cup. “Are you not enjoying your birthday celebration?”
“Did anyone even think to ask me if this was something I wanted?” Weiss grumbled as she took the tea, bringing it to her lips she took a deep breath of the black tea before taking a small sip. “Did anyone think to ask if this was how I wanted my 21st birthday to be celebrated?”
Klein was silent nodding as he returned to standing at attention. “Well,” He spoke slowly. “Perhaps you can try and find something to enjoy? Even just something small maybe?” The butler smiled, eyes crinkling with the action.
“Maybe.” Weiss sighed as she set her cup back on the table, watching as the servant continued to put up the tournament brackets. Standing up she moved to look at the finalized brackets. A lot of men had signed up. Of course, they had. After all, this was a chance to show off and earn a favor from the King and Queen. It didn’t make Weiss feel any better about what she was being forced to endure. Not much to enjoy when her birthday was being used as a way to try and find a suitor.
As Weiss dragged her eyes over the names, two suddenly jumped out at her because they were women's names. Ruby and Maria. Maybe this would be a little less of a sausage fest than she originally thought. ‘Interesting. This will be…interesting.’ She thought as she returned to the shade of the tent, collapsing back into the wooden seat. She reached for her tea, watching as people moved back and forth past the opening, putting the finishing touches on the tournament grounds. Erecting the stands where spectators would sit observing the combatants and a stage where the announcements would be made.
Speaking of announcements, as the preparations finished the announcer climbed on the stage and spoke into a cone, voice echoing through the grounds. “Will all combatants please make their way to the tournament grounds!”
“Shall we?” Klein spoke leaning forward, smiling brightly.

In your expert opinion, what butt does everyone on RWBY have?
Ok this is going to be a long list and to make it a little easier for me is going to be in alphabetical order. I also want to add that this is just my opinion and is for fun. If anyone disagree with me, that's totally understandable. So after saying all that, let's do it!
----------------
Amber: Norm, in the scenes where she appears, she looks normal.
An Ren: Norm, same here. She looks normal. I think all the characters that only appear once are Norm.
Arslan Altan: Muscle, since she does martial arts, I feel like this suits her.
Blake Belladonna: Badonk, I think we can all agree with this. No explanation need it.
Carmine Esclados: Thick, Just by looking at the art they made for the mobile game, you know that she is Thiccc with three c's
Ciel Soleil: Bubble, She looks like she works out regularly, so I think she would be this one.
Cinder Fall: Donk, She has that extra cushion in the back
Coco Adel: Hourgalss, She's like a model so this one fits her well.
Deery: Apple, Yeah, I don't know what to say, only that this one fits her.
Dew Gayl: Hourglass, She has the hips.
Elm Ederne: Double Wide, Remember that Aku meme about Extra thick? She is that.
Emerald Sustrai: Hourglass, I would like to have them as my pillow. (I'm sorry)
Fiona Thyme: Apple, I mean, she's small, it fits her.
Glynda Goodwitch: Thick, Mommy, sorry, Mommy, sorry, Mommy, sorry. (Jk)
Gwen Darcy: Bubble, It's hard to know which one would fit her, since she's always in a dress, but I think this one looks good on her.
Harriet Bree: Hourglass, I mean just look at those thighs.
Ilia Amitola: Apple, She is slim so this one fits her well.
Jinn: Badonk, Three words: Big Thick Woman
Joanna Greenleaf: Muscle, Again, it's hard to see, so this one suits you better.
Kali Belladonna: Badonk, I mean, blake had to get it from somewhere.
Lil' Miss Malachite: Double wide, I think this one was obvious.
Lisa Lavender: Norm, We've only seen his face so I'll play it safe.
Maria Calavera (Young): Hourglass, She seems to do a lot of walking on her travels so I think this one fits her.
May Marigold: Hourgalss, Why did I choose this? Yes.
May Zedong: Hourgalss, She has a slim waist and has to move around a lot when using her sniper so….
Melanie Malachite: Bubble, She's skinny so I think this one suits her.
Miltia Malachite: Bubble, Just like her sister, she is skinny so I think this one suits her.
Nebula Violette: Donk, I'm going with that.
Neon Katt: Bubble, Anything else would have been a lie.
Neopolitan: Bubble, She has some, but not much.
Nora Valkyrie: Badonk, Do you think that having thunder thighs doesn't have its benefits? Give me a break
Octavia Ember: Badonk, Okay hear me out, the way her dress fits her body, she definitely has it.
Penny Polendina: Donk, She got that upgrade~
Pyrrha Nikos: Thick, Cereal may not be good for your health, but it is good for something else~
Raven Branwen: Badonk, Living in the forest has its benefits.
Reese Chloris: Norm, I like Reese, but I have to be honest.
Robyn Hill: Thick, I'll just say she has my vote.
Ruby Rose: Hourglass, All those cookies put in one place.
Salem: Badonk, Is it a problem that I like dangerous women? Yes. Is it my Hispanic blood's fault? Probably.
Saphron Cotta-Arc: Donk, Do you think that terra only noticed her because of her personality? Yes she did, but she also wanted some of that famous Arc booty.
Sienna Khan: Thick, The tiger is the second most dangerous predator, Sienna is in first place.
Summer Rose: Donk, Besides being a super mom, she was a super mommy~
Terra Cotta-Arc: Bubble, Again, do you think Saphron only noticed her because of her big ass? Yes, this time yes. And it was the best decision of her life.
Tock: Hourglass, Watch where you touch or you will lose your hand.
Trifa: Bubble, Cute spider girl.
Velvet Scarlatina: Hourglass, I need to drink some water.
Vernal: Donk, I would let her hurt me.
Weiss Schnee: Hourglass, The only thing she got from her mom.
Willow Schnee: Badonk, The living definition of a MILF.
Winter Schnee: Hourglass, That's Atlas Ass.
Yang Xiao Long: Donk, All that training paid off.
---------------------------
So that's all. Again, this is my opinion, it may be wrong.

Randomly saw you rating RWBY pairings, and figured I'd throw my own ot3 into the ring.
Whiterose+Young Maria Calavera.
Death's Whiterose, or Scythe Queen.
You've got Weiss getting 2 silver eyes warriors, and she deserves only the best. She has 2 people who don't care about her family name, or money. Both dark hair, silver eyes, and taller than her (she has a type you see).
Ruby gets a silver eyed mentor, and friends to help her improve. Maria gets someone else who understands her eyes burden, and people she can trust who love her for who she is and not her name/rep.
They're all lonely people who are missing at least one parent finding
They have counterpoints in their theme songs for each other, and complimentary colors, and battle sass? Off the charts!
You just gotta make it an au where Maria is the same age, or use time travel, or something. My favorite is doing a john tyler's grandson on her.
Sorry if this bothers you I just think it's a cute ship I like to share.
Nah don't worry about bothering me, I love asks so dw!
Mmm... I've seen some Death's Whiterose here and there - You've appeared on my dash many times about it, actually hahaha.
I think it's cute! I see your points, Ruby does need someone to teach her about her silver eyes and I think it would be cute to have that person be her partner.
Plus whiterose - what's there not to like about whiterose? WR is and has been my main otp since I began watching rwby.
Though... I know Younger Maria Calavera is a baddie, but I can't stop picturing her as Ruby's cranky old grandma xD So not sure if Death's Whiterose is for me.

PRESENTING: THE GREAT TUMBLR GIRLBOSS TOURNEY!!!!!!
We have 128 phenomenal contestants, and several shitty ones that were abandoned on the spreadsheet. Some were rejected for good reasons: Freddie Mercury isn’t a girl, Princess Di died too recently, and Trish is from one lady’s single Tiktok. Some were rejected for petty and foolish reasons, such as “I don’t like Hetalia” and “I don’t like early 2000s movies.”
Under the cut is all the match-ups in plain text for those of you who with to ctrl+F for their girlboss. If your own girlboss didn’t make it in, feel free to send in asks about how I’m a fool for running this poll without including your rejected babygirl.
Additionally, feel free to peruse the original spreadsheet to see everyone who didn’t make it in. It is organized in no way shape or form besides the occasional collating of characters who had multiple submissions (notably, Vriska).
If there’s anything I should know about any of the accepted girlbosses (”The person who played this girlboss is currently being prosecuted for murder in North Carolina” or other similar aspects of despicability that should get them disqualified) please inform me off-anon, with evidence. While some of these girlbosses are literal murderers, those who have shed human blood are either fictional or have been dead for over a century, but I don’t want any current murderers around. I want everyone on tumblr to be able to enjoy this tournament if possible.

RWBY COMBAT ANALYSIS: NEOPOLITAN
"Your boss won't stay dead… but you will without this ;) If you want her name, you know what you owe me."
*Just as a disclaimer, a good deal of this profile will reference events from the novel Roman Holiday by E. C. Meyers. However, I do not own a copy of the book myself, so the information here is from second-hand sources, specifically the plot summary presented on the RWBY wiki. If anything I present here is inaccurate, please feel free to correct me, as there is always the risk of someone editing a Wiki page in order to dupe people into buying into fan-made trivia. With all of that out of the way, let's begin*
PHYSICAL
Neopolitan, born Trivia Vanille, was a human female hailing from Vale, approximately twenty-five years of age during the Atlas Crisis, two years after the Fall of Beacon. The only child of the Vale city manager Jimmy and his wife Carmel, her muteness led to an incredibly tense relationship with her parents, ranging from neglectful to abusive. Her only solace was in the form of her imaginary friend Neopolitan, whose influence led to increasingly prominent episodes of rebellious criminal behavior before she was forcibly enrolled in Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy For Girls. Conscripted as an agent by headmistress Beatrix Browning to subdue Roman Torchwick, she instead joined forces with the young criminal and aided in dismantling the academy, her parents, and Hei Xiong’s shared criminal enterprises. Taking the name of her imaginary friend as her own, Neo served as Torchwick’s right-hand woman for 3-5 years, making names for themselves in the criminal underworld before being press-ganged into Cinder Fall’s operations. Content with her place in life and her relationship with her employer, Neo’s world was thrown upside down during the Fall of Beacon, suffering a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the aspiring Huntress Ruby Rose, followed shortly by Torchwick’s death at the hands of a rogue Griffon. Hardened and embittered further by this loss, she initially hunted down Cinder for revenge, but was convinced by the Fall Maiden to switch her ire to their shared enemy, Ruby.
Youthful yet hardened, Neo stood at a rather diminutive 4’10” but was primarily distinguished by her waist-length pink and brown hair, heterochromatic eyes, and muteness. Possessing a petite physique, Neopolitan was nonetheless athletic and vital, proving her mettle on multiple occasions as a formidable physical combatant. Her primary attributes were agility and dexterity, leveraged through precision attacks and nimble acrobatics. Neo’s highly developed reflexes were her bread and butter, preforming subtle evasions to avoid attacks even at close quarters, avoiding everything from gunfire to blades to unarmed strikes, while intentionally aggravating her opponents. She has definitively outpaced Yang Xiao Long, outmaneuvered Ruby Rose on multiple occasions, and was able to keep Cinder Fall in her crosshairs during their brawl in Miss Malachite’s tavern. When confronted by multiple adversaries, Neo relied on more active gymnastics to spring around her environment, managing to outmaneuver the combined work of Team JNR and Oscar Pine in Atlas. While her most impressive falls were only survived thanks to using Hush as a parachute, I won’t deny her talent at acrobatic recoveries to regain her footing. The only time Neo’s agility failed her was during her confrontation with Maria Calavera at Amity Colosseum, and even this was only due to the elder woman’s precognitive Semblance. Neo’s dexterity was best expressed through her dynamic and precise fighting technique, wielding her parasol as fluidly as a master duelist would wield a sword. She has easily slipped in counters against even the most domineering adversaries, batting around Yang and Ruby without strain, was able to acquit herself well against Cinder’s dual blades, and has shown particular skill with snagging techniques, catching and manipulating Lie Ren and Maria Calavera’s weapons during their duels.
However, while she possessed respectable levels of stamina and discipline, holding down several intense long-term battles while maintaining her composure under fire, Neo’s strength and endurance were middling. She obviously understood how to respond to injury, her acrobatic recoveries demonstrating her ability to bounce back from disruptions, and her emphasis on psychological warfare proves that she’s aware enough to keep her own cool even against aggressive dervishes. However, while Neo could certainly take a hit, she couldn’t take a beating. Cinder was able to bully through her interference with raw hand to hand combat in Miss Malachite’s bar, and a single punch from Oscar Pine was enough to completely stun her, giving NJR time to take up positions. Even Yang Xiao Long, an opponent that Neo dominated, was able to manhandle her and throw her off balance, prompting her to stop toying with her and simply end the fight. Given her ability to stagger Ruby and Yang with unarmed combat, Neo could certainly hit with great force, but she really couldn’t jockey for dominance in a direct contest of strength. Though she was only subdued at Amity by Penny Polendina’s energy blast, the series of strikes she took from Maria Calavera beforehand were still enough to seriously disrupt her momentum and frustrate her. At the Evacuation Central Location, Neo held down the bulk of the battle without tiring, but a single strike from Weiss Schnee, armed with the Staff of Creation, was enough to stagger her, and she was rendered helpless when Ruby tackled her from behind. While by no means weak or fragile, Neo cannot handle a slugging match, simply because she can’t hold her ground.
Neo’s approach to battle was best supplemented by light, practical clothing that left her unencumbered, as her fighting style relied heavily on her acrobatics and balletic poise. In Atlas, she wore fitted white pants and ankle boots, a pink and white halter top with an attached brown jacket, and elbow length brown and white gloves. This outfit was topped off with a gray scarf and Roman Torchwick’s signature bowler hat, final lasting reminders of her late Dum-Dum.
RANKING: Tier 3, Advanced Human Fitness
Neopolitan is a high-level athlete who can easily outpace and outmaneuver just about anybody in the setting, to the point where the best most of her adversaries can hope for is to simply contend. However, her limitations also mean that that’s all she can do. All she’s bringing to a fight is agility and dexterity, with her strength and durability are average at best, making her a glass cannon physical combatant. To be fair, Neo is clearly aware of her shortcomings and has built her fighting style around avoiding the slugging matches she knows she can’t win. Neopolitan’s success is ultimately determined by her ability to keep her foes at bay and off balance, avoiding her weak spots by preventing the opponent from bringing their full might to bear.
MARTIAL
Neopolitan wielded a parasol with a pair of concealed blades as her primary weapon, an instrument that she named “Hush”. Gifted to her by Roman Torchwick, the umbrella appeared to be about three feet long with the blade in the tip retracted, growing another foot in length with the blade extended. The hooked handle of Hush served as the hilt for the secondary foot-long misericord, housed in the hollowed-out shaft of the parasol. Despite its lacy appearance, the panels were extremely durable, capable of withstanding direct hits from Yang Xiao Long’s Ember Celica and Nora Valkyrie’s grenades and serving as an effective shield in close quarters combat. Furthermore, Hush was strong enough to serve as an effective glider in case of emergency, this trait going so far as to save Neo’s life during the Fall of Beacon. Elegant, cute, yet deadly, this weapon was as much a reflection of its owner as it was a killing tool.
While giving the outward appearance of a simple reform school for upper-class girls, Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy For Girls was in truth a training ground for elite underworld spies and assassins for the Spider criminal cartel, their motto being to “be seen, not heard”. Select students, of which both Neopolitan and her mother were counted, would be offered advanced training in martial arts, escape artistry, fencing, and espionage to aid in their missions, training under headmistress Beatrix Browning and the corrupt Huntress Manda Rin. Though ultimately responsible for dismantling the program, Neo served as a testament to the institution’s teaching capabilities, standing as one of the most dangerous combatants of her day. Prior to the fall of Beacon, Neopolitan had spent three years as Roman Torchwick’s primary aide and enforcer, making a name for herself as an escape artist, infiltrator, and assassin in the criminal underworld. Though denied the meatgrinder of hard combat that her more respectable contemporaries possessed, she was still a highly talented and vicious fighter, having completely mastered the various functions of her weapon. Befitting Rin’s training, her primary fighting style was a slippery and subversive mixture of classical fencing, cane fighting, and hand-to-hand combat, using every trick in her arsenal to disrupt and dissect her opponents. With just her parasol, she favored swift batting strikes and probing stabs to whittle away at the opponent’s blind spots, either to wear them down or aggravate them into overextending. When defending, as she almost always was, she combined fencing style parries with solid two-handed blocking sequences, as well as suddenly opening up the umbrella to break her opponent’s momentum and even using the hook of the handle to trap and manipulate the opponent’s weapon. While perfectly willing to use her concealed blades in live combat, notably shooting the tip out at Cinder Fall and Ruby Rose face during their duels, she typically reserved them as assassination tools to execute a helpless opponent, such as when she prepared to execute an unconscious Yang, or to keep them at relative gunpoint, using the blade to hold Ruby at bay on the air carrier. Her unarmed skills she used far more heavily, regularly employing sudden heavy kicks to strike out at her opponent’s blind spots and joints. Rather than overtax her lack of muscle mass by trying to punch above her level, she took the path of least resistance and hit where it was most effective. This deceptive defensive fighting style was reinforced with the heavy integration of her Semblance, using her solid illusions to trick her target and leave them open to a retaliatory attack.
I would describe the mindset of Neopolitan’s tactics and conduct as “Provoke and Erode”. She was a showboating troll, perfectly happy to toy with and annoy her foes by canceling out their offensives. As Neo’s light build left her poorly suited for slugging it out, she focused on evasion and retaliation, slipping in light counters to wear her opponent down while using silent psychological warfare to goad them into overcommitting. In single combat, Neo would open defensively, baiting her opponent into making the first move and giving way before their assaults, often making them think they were gaining ground before abruptly turning around and catching them off guard. despite her cheery demeanor, Neo was shockingly ruthless, perfectly willing to execute helpless opponents and taking backstabs whenever possible. In this manner she casually subdued Yang Xiao Long on the Mountain Glenn train and fended off Ruby Rose’s heavy scythe offensive during the Fall of Beacon, taking advantage of the Patch sisters’ frustration to keep them fruitlessly wailing on her while she danced around their assault. After Torchwick’s death at the Fall of Beacon, Neo blamed Cinder Fall, training and improving her style in preparation before tracking her down to Lil' Miss Malachite’s tavern in Haven. Ambushing the Fall Maiden, Neo managed to fight evenly with Cinder, forcing her to unleash her magical powers to force a draw. As a larger strategic operative, Neo was an expert spy and infiltrator, at her best by sneaking past enemy lines to silently undermine the defenses. During the Fall of Beacon, she successfully snuck aboard the Atlas flagship and butchered the bridge before freeing Roman, and in Atlas, she infiltrated the academy dorms to steal the Relic of Knowledge from Oscar Pine. When confronted by the combined efforts of Pine, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, Neo managed to outmaneuver and subvert all of them to facilitate her retreat. Later, after stealing the Lamp as a bargaining chip, Neo broke into the Atlas military compound to get Arthur Watts into position, massacring the support staff with Cinder before hiding among the evacuating civilians to attack Team RWBY. The only reason Neo’s attempt to murder Ruby failed was because of Yang, who saw her coming and took the hit for her sister, falling into the void. Neo’s success in battle was heavily tied to the logistics at play. As most Huntsmen and Huntresses are offensive heavyweights, they were extremely vulnerable to Neo, as her slippery defensive fighting style enabled her to dance around their attacks, get inside their guard, and slip in devastating counters all while deliberately aggravating them.
However, while this made Neo a serious threat to just about anybody, it was also based on her own inability to handle a head-to-head engagement. Because of Neo’s lack of offensive might, she relied on the path of least resistance to get the most bang for her buck, and her greatest challenges have been when the enemy fails to give her the openings she needs. Raven Branwen’s mere appearance was enough to frighten Neo into a retreat, and Cinder Fall was able to disrupt Neo’s momentum by leaning on focus and intensity to bully through her interference. In Atlas, Jaune Arc momentarily got the better of Neo by intercepting her assault on Oscar and activating the gravity Dust repulsor in his shield, sending her flying down the hall. Though Neo recovered quickly from the latter, it demonstrates that she wouldn’t be able to make much headway against a more capable defensive fighter, while also ironically being vulnerable to the very counters she herself employed. This was all brought to a head in her duel with Maria Calavera at Amity Colosseum. When confronted by Neo, Maria was decades over the hill physically and was obviously out of practice as a fighter, yet her own defensive technique allowed her to fend off Neo’s assault without serious difficulty. Furthermore, as Neo’s entire approach is to catch her enemies off guard, Maria’s precognitive Semblance allowed her to intercept Neo’s attacks before they were even executed, effectively making her Neo’s nightmare opponent. Additionally, Neo’s pride and vindictiveness had a tendency to undercut her otherwise capable tactical prowess. She sometimes went too far with her smug posturing to the point of outright gloating, while her narrow focus on her personal vendettas led to tunnel vision, giving many of her opponents the chance to fight back and blindside her in turn. These weaknesses, along with her great strengths, came about in the battle at the Evacuation Central Location, during which she fought a vicious duel with Ruby Rose. She successfully ambushed Ruby at several points, even disarming her of her weapon while taking advantage of her emotional distress, but Ruby successfully goaded Neo into rushing in and attacking her, leading to an overextension that gave Ruby the chance to use her Semblance to run up behind her and tackle her off the bridge. Neo was betrayed by Cinder Fall immediately afterwards, kicked into the void with the rest of RWBY. Even with all this, Neo obstinately continued her grudge, spending her fall into nothingness trying to pointlessly kill Ruby.
RANKING: Tier 3, Standard Mastery
Neo is easily one of the most dangerous opponents active in the show right now, especially given how unorthodox her defense-oriented fighting style is. She is patient, devious, and shockingly ruthless, perfectly willing to drag her opponents through a war of attrition to induce them into making a fatal oversight. However, Neo’s technique is still fairly singular, and she is held back by certain practical limitations that limit her overall combative viability and can allow lesser fighters like Jaune and Maria to get the better of her. Her tactics are brilliantly constructed and point to a highly developed game plan, but her narrow ego has led to her making costly oversights. Neo’s a subversive fighter, not an overwhelming one, and while this makes her tricky to engage, it also means she can and will crumble when put between a rock and a hard place. That said, these weaknesses are tied to logistics rather than oversights, and Neo has specifically built her tactics to compensate for these shortcomings. Neo is a living example of Roman’s philosophy of “lie, steal, cheat and survive.” While no coward, she's perfectly willing to fight dirty, and if she can’t win, she prefers to cut her losses and flee.
SPECIAL
Neopolitan’s Semblance is called Overactive Imagination, the ability to create realistic illusions with physical properties to them. By enacting a field of energy around her body or outside objects, she can alter its appearance and disguise it to the point where it even has the outward mass to resemble it. Neo’s powers manifested during her isolated childhood, the lonely Trivia unconsciously projecting her imaginary friend to become a semi-tangible playmate. After Trivia’s mother broke her Aura, Neopolitan never manifested again, with Trivia understanding that her playmate was in fact a piece of herself repressed by her parents’ influence. Taking the name Neopolitan for herself, she cast aside her old life, embracing her full self along with her power. As a criminal agent, Neo developed her Semblance to an extremely high level to aid in her and Roman Torchwick’s schemes. Easily the most prominent demonstrations of Neo applying her powers was her ability to take on the appearance of other individuals as a form of disguise, allowing her unparalleled skill as an infiltrator. She successfully took on the form of a paramedic during the Vytal Festival to spirit the supposedly crippled Mercury Black away, an Atlas military officer when she rescued Torchwick from Ironwood’s battleship, and later as a waitress at Jacques Schnee’s party, gaining intelligence on Ironwood’s plans and the status of Team RWBY. In addition to simply disguising herself, Neo was also capable of projecting illusions upon inanimate objects to alter their appearance, arguably her greatest display of power in this regard being her transformation of a Mistrali airship into an Atlas Manta ship. Even more impressive was how she could maintain the illusion long enough to slip through the Atlas blockade with no-one the wiser with no evidence of a toll on her stamina. The only serious limitation to these illusions were their brittleness, shattering with even minor amounts of blunt force trauma, and the fact that they could not mimic sound, making Neo’s muteness all the more palpable. Alternatively, Neo appeared to have some ability to render herself invisible, disappearing from Raven Branwen and blending into the walls of the Monstra.
While Neo’s Semblance possessed extremely potent uses as an infiltration tool, it was not simply a utility power, and has been leveraged as a weapon to great effect. In battle, Neo has used Overactive Imagination as a form of active defense, creating realistic illusions to draw her opponent’s attention and either open them up to a deadly ambush or facilitate her own retreat. Her typical tactic was to form a realistic copy of herself and leave it standing while she ran away, tricking the opponent into attacking the dummy while leaving her free to blindside them. In Vale, Neo successfully enabled her and Roman’s escape by tricking Yang Xiao Long into attacking her afterimage instead, giving the duo time to reach their bullhead, and during her duel with Ruby Rose, she drew Ruby’s attention with a double that left her exposed to Roman’s follow up strike. During her time on her own, Neo learned to refine her body doubles as an active weapon in battle, using one as a feint against Cinder Fall at the start of their battle and later to slip away when they took the fight outside, though Cinder sussed it out and halted her with a fireball. In the Evacuation Central Location, Neo disguised herself as a civilian in order to sneak up on Ruby, very nearly stabbing her in the back. Far more insidious were her uses of her disguise illusions as a form of psychological warfare, taking the form of people her opponent had deep connections with to make them drop their guard. During her theft of the Relic of Knowledge and subsequent battle with Team JNR, she tricked Oscar Pine into handing over the Relic and caught both him and Lie Ren off guard by transforming into Nora Valkyrie. Exploiting Ren’s relationship with her, Neo managed to break his composure just as he was about to deliver a critical blow, enabling her escape. When falling into the Evacuation Central Location void, Neo spent the bulk of their weightless fist fight transforming into Ruby’s close friends and family, deliberately attempting to get under her skin by having her loved ones attempt to strangle her.
Neo’s use of her Semblance in battle served as a direct supplement to her fighting style, undermining and tricking her opponents into making mistakes by attacking something that isn’t there. Her psychological warfare tactics demonstrated her ability to apply her subversive means of battle to both physical and ethereal combat to great effect, while her variety of applications allowed her to adjust her approach to suit the situation and opponent. However, Overactive Imagination was not an unbeatable power, as its effectiveness is predicated on Neo’s ability to deceive and surprise her opponent. Oscar caught her off guard when she tried to pass herself off as him and took a punch to the face for her trouble, tipping her hand and forcing her to confront JNR directly. To be fair, Oscar had previously been tricked by Neo and knew she was a fraud, making his ability to expose her circumstantial. Regardless, her inability to speak still limited her ability to impersonate people, making her pressed for time to accomplish her goal before the gig was up. She may have fooled Nora at first, but I have no doubt that she, Ren and Jaune would have been able to sus her out eventually had she failed to slip away. Furthermore, much like her theatrical posturing in her martial arts, Neo could sometimes go too far with the silent taunts, simply annoying the opponent rather than actually undermining them. At Amity, Neo took on the appearance of Ruby Rose to screw around with Maria Calavera, but instead of intimidating her, this only made the ex-Huntress more determined to fight her off. Furthermore, like any psychological warrior, Neo’s barbs are most successful when she has a strong familiarity with her target. If dropped in cold, she has nothing to work with.
RANKING: Tier 2, Flexible Combat
Neo’s special abilities are among the most versatile and dangerous in the setting despite having no direct offensive advantages, which she compensates for with an unprecedented degree of skill. Her powers can be used for a variety of purposes for both basic utility and active combat, and she can and has leveraged the full range of her Semblance to great effect. While a relatively simple power at first glance, Overactive Imagination is in fact incredibly multifaceted, and her use of it is extremely inventive, allowing her to exploit circumstantial factors and control the flow of the fight. While Neo’s Semblance is not without limitations, her encounters with JNR and Maria proving that its effectiveness can be overruled or negated with enough force or a focused enough mind to not be subverted, Neo makes sure those limitations rarely come up through quick thinking, treacherous subversion, and shocking ruthlessness. And I freely concede that the number of potential adversaries who could reliably see through Neo’s tricks is pathetically small.
OVERALL RANKING: TIER 3, ADVANCED HUNTRESS
Neopolitan’s overall ranking is determined from the average set by her physical abilities and martial skills. While her flexible and powerful Semblance is easily a support factor on par with the likes of Qrow Branwen or Winter Schnee, she is held back by her status as a relative lightweight in all other areas. Neo’s speed and agility makes her an extremely dangerous physical threat, and her fighting style is a deceptively powerful method that can threaten just about anyone, but she is at a severe disadvantage against more physically powerful or stronger defensive opponents. Because of her lack of power, Neo is forced to adopt a defensive and underhanded strategic outlook to avoid the head-to-head engagements she is guaranteed to lose. While her use of her Semblance elevates her fighting method to something greater than the sum of its parts, her uses are more the result of necessity rather than chosen support tools. Neo can’t take a beating, so she built her skill set around making sure she never had to take one. She is analogous to Oberyn Martell from Game of Thrones, as both are glass cannons who compensate for their lack of power with clever tricks and underhanded tactics to bypass stronger opponents. In many ways, I consider Neo to be a Tier 2 in the making like Pyrrha Nikos, though the thing holding her back is holes in her skill set that can be exploited by lesser opponents rather than a lack of development.
Despite all her limitations, Neo’s threat level is not to be discounted, especially given how alien her approach to combat is among the RWBY battle arena. Almost every other combatant in the setting operates on heavy offense and meeting their foes in direct combat, and almost nobody willingly gives ground and baits them. What makes Neo so dangerous is that she effectively works at cross purposes with the common trends of her day, and her specific strengths and weaknesses come into play against pretty much everyone. The only reliable way to combat Neopolitan is to use her own tactics against her, with Maria Calavera and Jaune Arc making more headway against her than pretty much anyone had beforehand. And given her talent for goading her opponents into making the first move, her smug cheerfulness a sharp contrast to the cold killer she is, finding someone to fight her that way is like finding a needle in a haystack. Neopolitan is one of those really infuriating fighters where you think you’re on top of her, that you just need to hit a little harder or move a little faster, and all the while she’s hitting you with sucker punches until you fall to the ground in a heap. Essentially, the most dangerous troll in the world, dragging you along with a shit-eating grin as she prepares to gut you. If she opens up that umbrella, watch the hell out.

Pondering the current fates of RWBY Heroes
Inspired by a RWBY discord I'm part of, we're here to speculate on the fates of various RWBY characters! Spoilers for RWBY up until Volume 9 and related material like the novels, under the readmore.
Teams/Kids/Young Adults:
Team RWBY: Alive, obviously. The show wouldn't be the show without them! On their way to Vacuo.
Team JNPR/JNOR: Pyrrha's dead (RIP), everyone else is alive with Jaune en route to Vacuo alongside Team RWBY.
Team CVFY: Still active per After the Fall and Before the Dawn (Recommended reading. Seriously.)
Team SSSN: Still active in Vacuo per Before the Dawn.
Team CDRL: Nobody cares about them. But if we must. Their last known status was during the Fall of Beacon, Cardin was saved by Ironwood from being killed but beyond that nothing. Frankly, don't care to think about them either.
Team FNKI: According to the writers, they lived through the Fall of Atlas. Currently in Vacuo.
Illia Amitola: Cameoed in Volume 8, probably in Vacuo by now alongside the Belladonnas.
Emerald Sustrai: Defected to the Good side in Volume 8, finally. In Vacuo with the others.
Oscar Pine: Still with the others in Vacuo.
Penny Polendina: Physically deceased, again. Fate unknown and uncertain. Possibility of return not discounted, given she's been revived before. Whether reduced to a soul inside of Winter, or permanently dead, until the official word is given, nothing is impossible for everyone's favorite redhead.
Ciel Soliel: An unknown to the point where the Curious Cat even lampshades it during Volume 9. As Penny's team was disbanded, and her fate is uncertain, we can guess she might've survived the Fall of Atlas and is in Vacuo. Up in the air currently.
!
Adults:
Ozpin: Spirit form in Oscar Pine's head, currently merging with him.
Ironwood (counting him here, he started as one): Dead via Atlas' fall in Volume 8.
Winter Schnee: Active, new Winter Maiden. Yes, the jokes still work.
Schnee Family (Whitley, Willow, Klien): Still alive, in Vacuo.
Glynda Goodwitch: Last time we saw her was After the Fall, and as a shocked cameo circa Volume 8 when Ruby's message reached the world. She was there in illusion form in the JLA/RWBY movie. She may still be in Vale, or may be on the way to Vacuo.
Qrow Branwen: Made it to Vacuo, if the V9 epilogue animatic shown off at RTX 2023 is to be believed. Otherwise, last seen on screen during the Fall of Atlas in Volume 8.
Raven Branwen: Revealed via the Volume 9 epilogue animatic to have helped Team RWBY onward to Vacuo. Unsure as to when THAT happened.
Taiyang Xiao Long: Uncertain if in Vacuo, still in Vale, or on his way. Chances are, probably in or around Vacuo if Raven's there.
Robyn Hill + The Happy Huntresses: Absolutely in Vacuo, if the Volume 9 epilogue animatic is to be believed. Expecting them to help with the refugees too.
Pietro Polendina: Still alive as of Volume 8. Since Amity Arena was shown with the ships in Volume 9, it's assumed he's alive.
Maria Calavera: Presumed still alive as well, same with Pietro.
Ghira and Kali Belladonna: Alive, saw Ruby's message. Current status places them in Mistral helping the Faunus circa Volume 6, though as of V8 they got Ruby's message. Unknown as of now if they went to Atlas first, or Vacuo. Expecting to see them in some capacity.
Theodore: Still headmaster of Shade academy. Active as of Before the Dawn. Will arguably be the most helpful headmaster the heroes have had.
Rumpole: Still vice head of Shade. Active as of Before the Dawn.
Old Man Shopkeep: WILL. NEVER. DIE. But seriously. In Vale as of Volume 8 cameo. Will probably help with food or cameo sometime!
Zwei: Will also never die. With Tai as of Volume 8.
Summer Rose: Condition unknown. Subject still needs to be broached if really dead, or Grimmified.
