Top 10 Best RWBY Characters

In my opinion, Weiss has the most interesting and versatile semblance. With her glyphs, she can do so many things, not only for herself but she can use it on others too. Plus, she can finally summon! I really can't wait to see her use this ability in battle. And I hope her time dilation glyph ability is explained further.

She has grown so much in personality. She is more accepting and friendly than she was at first while still keeping her cocky attitude. But I absolutely despise her father! It's no wonder she starts out the series acting so snotty with the cold and emotionally detached upbringing she had. At least she has her sister and butler to rely on.

Honestly, she's the character I care the most about, which made the events of Volume 3 so sad for me.

She is strong, physically but more importantly, mentally. Her semblance is perfect for increasing the tension during fights and represents her overall strength at overcoming hardships. I particularly enjoy the fact that her fighting style (boxing) could have easily been given to one of the boy characters. But no, they went for one of the four main female characters, and they managed to make her tough (cowboy and biker look, puns, wearing shorts), sunny (smile, puns, yellow color), and feminine (long blonde hair, sexy clothes). This makes for an amazing and complex character.

Her relationship with Blake is the main reason I come back every year for the next volume. It might just be the "partner" thing going on, but I really see Bumblebee moments as romantic ones.

I love Ruby. She's so adorable, funny, and awesome. She's my favorite part of RWBY and the reason I watched it in the first place. I was very interested in her, and when I watched the first episode and saw her tossing one of Torchwick's goons out the front window, I wasn't disappointed.

I love watching her. I haven't gotten to Volume 4, and because of how pissed I was when I found out how terrible the show gets after Volume 3, I don't plan to. But in those first three volumes, she always made me smile.

She's my favorite RWBY character and one of my favorite characters. I think she could be a little better. I'd like her to have some character development, but I still find her extremely cute, funny, and awesome!

This man has struggled with the burden of a semblance he can't control all his life, leading him to a life of despair and drunkenness. Despite all this, he still strives to be the best uncle he can be for Yang and Ruby. He's such a great character who adds humor but also offers wisdom to Team RWBY, the remaining members of JNPR, and even Oscar.

He's gone through so much and has been on the brink of giving up so many times. It reminds us that life isn't easy sometimes, and there will be times when you're a hair's breadth from giving up.

RWBY seems to make some rather not-as-good male characters (luckily, they improve over the series), usually. But Ren, however, is the best character I have seen in the entire series. Who couldn't love an intelligent, quiet, athletic, yet good-looking guy? He was such a good character in the beginning that the character improvement just made me love this character more! Usually, I'm the kind of person who likes characters that are somewhat opposite of me, different. But then I see this character, and my entire mind was changed. He's the all-time best character there is, and that's that.

Pyrrha's attitude alone makes her the best character in the series. How she acted around Jaune was funny and touching. In addition to this, she's an epic warrior who fights with the purest and most skilled form out of both RWBY and JNPR. Her chemistry with Jaune formed the best relationship within the series. She stole (more say, earned) the spotlight at the Ballroom episode. She played a vital role in Volume 3, and her death left me in absolute shock. It was ironic that out of the eight characters, she was taken. Rest in Peace, Pyrrha.

I wish the show developed her more because I really like her conceptually. However, I can't really point to anything I like that isn't just her introductory scene or something she did during the Emerald Forest stuff or the food fight. It feels like she hasn't gotten the opportunity to be very cool or interesting outside of that. Volume 8 helped a bit.

How can Nora be this far down the list?! She's so crazy amazing!

Her and Ren's past and relationship is so moving. I really hope we continue to learn more about these two. She's a quirky, pancake-loving spitfire wielding a giant war hammer/grenade launcher! What's not to love?

He is the most loyal out of all of them, I believe. He is the one getting the most development. I think it was kind of charming how he tried to woo Weiss even with all the rejections, showing his devotion to the heart. If I were him, I would have given up on the first "no" and moved on to the next dance partner. He even told us he was interested in her because of how beautiful her voice was and played the guitar pretty well in front of her door. Pretty sure that anyone this sweet would have had more options, like Nikos.

He is also pretty relatable to just about all normal human beings like us at the beginning. Even when still in mourning, he went with Ruby, alongside Nora and Ren, to fight Cinder and showed quite a bit of different emotions throughout the show. All in all, he is our lovable goofball turning fierce Huntsman.

Mixed feelings once again. She has been through a lot and struggled in ways no one else in the story can compare to. Yet, she always seems to make her own life worse and pushes other people away. But she's a total badass and an amazing character.

I wish she was higher up. I identify with her the most, and I love her motives and how she asserts herself and opens up with everyone. She made some big mistakes, but her motives were good, and she has grown a lot.

Blake is amazing. She's the most beautiful and badass RWBY character to ever exist.

I love Emerald's design. Aesthetically, she's the best character for me. Her loyalty, attitude, and especially her banter with Mercury are well-written. Not to mention, her semblance is amazing.

Emerald, because of her witty and snarky personality. I really like her illusion semblance, and her backstory seems realistic to me. Her design is really cool, and I hope to see more of her.

I love her so much. Am I simping for her? Yes. Do I constantly watch the same episodes she's in? Yes. Do I wish for her and Oscar to be siblings? Yes. I seriously cannot express how much I love her.

Calling all those who love Atlas Pilot, vote for him, clear our browser data, reload the page, and then vote for him again. Clearly the best character in the whole show. He deserves better than 15th place.

Carrying the whole show, we honestly need more characters like this.

Definitely carries the whole show. I mean, we don't even know his name, and he still has the most engrossing character development in the entire show. 10/10 best character hands down, very underrated.

Glynda is so perfect because she has a visually intriguing semblance to viewers and also doesn't have a limit to the awesomeness. At first glance, a lot of people categorize her semblance as "telekinesis," but it is definitely much more than that. You can't telekinetically (if that is a word) move a cloud and make ice dust rain from the cloud. It is magic, yes it is!

One of my favorite mutes, but adorable to boot. Meta from Red vs. Blue still holds my number one mute spot, but Neo is definitely there. In the later seasons, she does feel flat as a character since she doesn't show as many expressions or actions as she used to when she was first introduced.

Honestly, I love how Rooster Teeth did something you don't really see often: they took a handicapped person and turned her into a badass ball of awesomeness whose sass I strive for!

Let's be honest, Neo is the only person who seems to "understand the assignment." She manages to accomplish all the goals she is given and makes time for her own.

Sun was such a good character, and the SunXBlake ship was definitely a favorite before they yeeted him into non-existence.

They had so many characters who were golden, but Sun was toward the top with his personality and understanding of other people. It's a shame that the character has become useless.

Wild and free-spirited, and in some cases socially awkward, Sun is the opposite of Blake's semi-cold and solitary character who desires to be left alone. I think this changed a bit due to her time with Team RWBY and Sun's influence. (I ship these two also)

I love him so much that words cannot describe. He's obsessed, depressed, and stressed, but ever so nicely dressed. In my opinion, he just needs to find someone besides Blake to care about him.

Not a lot of people liked Adam. They thought he was just another cliché possessive ex. I thought his character was pretty well-written (until his exit from the series). I was on the edge of my seat in every episode, thinking, "What is this homicidal maniac going to do now?"

He's just a really cool villain, even with the disappointing showing in volumes 5 and 6. He had it all - menace, style, and a cool backstory that never got explored.

They managed to give him a defined personality and a reason for doing what he does within a few episodes. Sadly, those are things RWBY usually struggles with a lot.

Also, one of the funniest characters in the main series. Oobleck is the best character, fight me.

Okay, now this guy is really hyper, but he is also wise. Super speed would be my pick for a superpower. Why is Caffeine not this guy's song? Also, I can relate to the messy and green hair.

As quoted by this brilliant man, "History is important, gentlemen, if you can't learn from it... You're destined to repeat it." Wiser than Ozpin.

Hot take: Ironwood had the most fun character introduction. That scene was great! He was so cool in V4, then again in V7. I liked his cold military aesthetic combined with his more laid-back attitude and almost chaotic good outlook.

I think he's had the smoothest character development, even if we don't really see all of it. Plus, I really do love the shyer, more reticent, or otherwise less bombastic characters in this show, like Oscar, Pyrrha, and Ozpin. He's just such a great addition to the cast.

Probably the most developed character since he went from having someone inhabit his body to taking a role in leading things. I would go to the Rose Garden ship since they fit pretty well together, and they are adorable together.

ORANGE, ahem, I mean, this guy does pretty well to sound just as wise as Ozpin. It is a little hard to believe he was just a farm boy four volumes ago. Actually, that's a lot of volumes.

I have to say, he may be a villain character, but he's pretty awesome. I want the good guys to win, but he kind of makes me root for the baddies. His moves in that tournament fight were just jaw-dropping! He took control of that fight and kicked ass! All basically using his metal legs the whole time to get the advantage over Team CFVY. Plus, his jokey attitude and snark won me over before I even saw him fight. I enjoy his and Emerald's interactions. Just an all-around badass.

How does Merc not even have an entry? He has an interesting design and concept, potential for an awesome backstory. From what we've seen so far, it could end up being pretty good. He also has the most entertaining fighting style in the show.

Just like Weiss, but better, stronger, and more beautiful.

Even more powerful than the two brothers.

I think she's wrong and selfish like a good antagonist, but I admire her strength, determination, intelligence, and design.
