god... this shot...
weiss is the only remaining member of team rwby left standing; yang, blake, and ruby have all fallen. her best friends, her family, and the symbolism in this shot shows that she’s not just fighting for them, she’s fighting with them, even if they’re gone.
weapons are an extension of one’s self. weiss has myrtenaster, her own weapon, with red gems on it to symbolize ruby. she has gambol shroud, blake’s weapon, with a yellow stripe on it to honor yang.
by holding both her weapon and blake’s, who both have little details on their weapons to commemorate their teammates, in a way, she has her team with her. she still has a part of them fighting alongside her, even after she’s had to watch all three of them fall.
Weiss Schnee is the backbone of Team RWBY.
