Ruby Rose - Red Roses

While Red Roses are often associated with love and passion, they are also a symbol of courage. This seems to reflect Ruby’s drive throughout Volume 4 to make her journey to Mistral while mourning the deaths of Pyrrha and Penny.

Weiss Schnee - White Lilies

White Lilies are a symbol of innocence, purity, renewal and royalty. The flower alludes to Weiss’s privileged yet abusive background and her journey to finally abandoning that lifestyle in the Volume 4 finale.

Blake Belladonna - Bittersweet Nightshades

Bittersweet Nightshades (not to be confused with Deadly Nightshades, also known as “Atropa Belladonna”) are one the most well-known poisonous plants in the world. It is a symbol of misfortune, secrecy, but also truth, bringing to mind Blake being the indirect reason as to Sun and Yang’s injuries as well as concealing her reasons of running from her team.

Yang Xiao Long - Yellow Chrysanthemums

Yellow Chrysanthemums are a symbol of neglected love, sorrow and “recovery from a long trial of hardships”. This alludes to Yang’s abandonment by Raven, and her long recovery from losing her arm in Volume 3.

Yang Xiao Long (Volume 5) - Orange Lilies
