Since antiquity, the realm of Remnant has faced relentless peril from the Grimm—nightmare beings intent on annihilating both humans and half‑human Faunus. To safeguard themselves, the four kingdoms founded academies that train youths to become huntsmen: warriors whose duty is to exterminate the Grimm.
In Vale, the bright‑spirited 15‑year‑old Ruby Rose has long aspired to attend the renowned Beacon Academy. Too young, she can only watch as her older sister, Yang Xiao Long, departs for the academy alone. Everything shifts when Ruby defeats a gang of armed robbers, and her impressive feat reaches Beacon"s headmaster, Professor Ozpin.
Ruby is elated when she receives an invitation to join the academy alongside her sister. Meanwhile, far across the world in Atlas, corporate heiress Weiss Schnee rebels against her father"s wishes and heads for Beacon, heart full of anxious determination. At the same time, solitary rogue Blake Belladonna leaves her vigilante group in pursuit of a better life at the academy. When their paths cross, the four girls" meeting is anything but amicable. With starkly different personalities and convictions, they often clash. Yet when they collaborate, team RWBY begins to stir unprecedented ripples across Beacon.
