    RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is an American anime-styled animated web series and media franchise created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth. It is set in the fictional world of Remnant, where young people train to become warriors (called "Huntsmen" and "Huntresses") to protect their world from monsters called Grimm. The name RWBY is derived from the four main characters' forenames: Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, as well as their associated theme colors; Red, White, Black and Yellow, and their combined team name: Team RWBY.
    Whitley Schnee is the younger brother of Weiss and Winter Schnee. He is first seen in "Remembrance" at the Schnees' home. After their father, Jacques Schnee, stripped Weiss of her position as heiress in "Punished", Whitley became the heir to the Schnee Dust Company until the company's destruction.
    Following his father's arrest in "As Above, So Below" however, all of the company's employees abandoned him and his mother Willow Schnee at their home. After running into Weiss and her friends again, he was originally reluctant to help them until having a change of heart and made up with his sister in the process while using all of the company's resources to help them save Mantle until it's destruction in "The Final Word".
    Weiss Schnee is one of the protagonists of RWBY. She is a Huntress, a former student of the now-defunct Beacon Academy, and former heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. Her weapon of choice is a Multi-Action Dust Rapier (MADR) named Myrtenaster.
    As the former heiress of the vastly influential Schnee Dust Company, Weiss made her first appearance in the "White" Trailer. After enrolling in Beacon against the wishes of her father, Jacques Schnee, she becomes a member of Team RWBY alongside Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. She is the younger sister of Winter Schnee and the older sister of Whitley Schnee.
    Following a lengthy battle against Cinder Fall, Weiss was blasted off of a platform and into the void under the Central Location. Her current status is unknown.
    Willow Schnee is the mother of Weiss, Winter and Whitley Schnee, as well as the estranged wife of Jacques Schnee and daughter of Nicholas Schnee. A portrait of her was first seen in "Remembrance". Her first full appearance was in "Cordially Invited".
    Volume 8 is the eighth season of RWBY. It premiered on November 7th, 2020, and ran for 14 episodes. The volume was preceded by Volume 7 and will be followed by Volume 9.
    Salem and her forces arrive in Atlas and battle against General Ironwood's army. Meanwhile, Ruby's group and the Happy Huntresses all struggle to aid the people of Atlas and Mantle from the Grimm and get the Amity Communications Tower operational while avoiding arrest by Ironwood's forces. With chaos spiraling throughout the Kingdom, the heroes struggle between fighting Salem's machinations and Ironwood's ruthless actions. All the while, Penny Polendina begins going through an existential crisis after becoming the Winter Maiden while Qrow Branwen and Robyn Hill bond over their similarities after being framed for Clover Ebi's death.
    During the conflict, people from all sides like Yang's Group start to distrust the people they work for and pursue their own goals in the process. Meanwhile, Salem's most recent Grimm begins to put everything known about the Grimm until now into question.

      I wouldn't expect Whitley to ever be brought up again, same as the White Fang subplot. His arc is done and he's not needed. At most we'll get snippets of Winter since she's the maiden, but given that the relic tied to her is already in Salem's hands, even Winter isn't likely to get any decent screentime moving forward. Especially if the show spends the entirety of next arc on the Destiny Islands ripoff.

    Whitley is what his father could have been, possibly what Nicolas hoped Jacque would become. He has his father's intelligence, cunning, and charisma, (like him or not, Jacque knows how to work a room), but he has his mother's side's compassion, heart, and moral compass. If the SDC comes back from all this, I honestly think he should run it. He's got the best head for business of all the siblings, and we know he won't cut them out now, so he could run the company while they are out saving the world.
