independent WINTER SCHNEE from rooster teeth's rwby ✦ private / mutuals only ✦ written by missa. 21+, she / her ✦ multi-para to novella length style ✦ au / oc / crossover friendly ✦ personals, do not interact. ✦ thread tracker
Thought I was too smart for this Not a sucker for a kiss Turned my back to the world I was protected I was so not naïve With no heart on my sleeve Always walked out before I was rejected
Fairytales are NOT to be believed I blame MYSELF if I have been deceived
I was fine on my own Made of steel, hard as stone I know I have a heart because you broke it I was so unaware That I could fall so hard But what good is a heart if you don't care?
I'm just... going to quietly put this out there. I have been stalked and harassed on this hellsite before and I am a big believer in creating safe spaces, so if I ever do or say something that is upsetting or triggering to you, for the love of god, you can tell me. Anonymous or otherwise. I will never take offense to it.
And beyond that, if you see me interacting with someone who you know hurts people or has hurt you in the past, I want to know. I'm not going to considering it bullying if you tell me that I'm interacting with someone toxic or someone who has done damage in the past. I have people on this site I still blacklist after 5+ years because the sight of them will send me into a spiral for days. I won't be upset or offended.
Just... putting that out into the universe.

j a u n e :
“I must agree that, is an accurate assessment.” Jaune said through gritted teeth, The pain wasn’t the problem, more so how it was broken. It was off set in a poor way. “I need you to help me…set this back in place. So I can let the Aura take over, It can’t heal over like this.”
Jaune would take his shirt sleeve from his good arm, stuffing it into his mouth to bite down on, Nodding to the snowy lady to get the help he needed.
A brow lifts somewhat, watching the young boy as he took a moment to assess the injury. Breathing out a sigh, she crouches down to the floor level and waits -- bright gaze locked on his face more than the injury itself.
Aura was good for a lot, but it could only go so far. Fortunately, medical training tended to be something of a standard at the academies, and it seemed the boy was wise enough to have paid attention. "...Remember to breathe." Once he nods, Winter moves swiftly, setting the bone back into place with a sickening crack.
q r o w :
His skeptical silence said volumes.
“Bet.”
"I would say all these declarations are going to catch up with you, but... I suppose you'd have to have money in order for it to be taken."
"Don't be fools. You can't actually get away without paying taxes unless you're a billionaire."

(PEN)NAME: Missa
PRONOUNS: She/Her
ZODIAC: Scorpio Sun / Leo Moon / Cancer Rising

— THREE FACTS
001. I am a huge metalhead, which occasionally takes people by surprise! I think it's the fact that I also love to be cute and "girly." Nothing is as annoying to me as when a guy finds out and pulls the faux impressed that "you're not like other girls." Gross. But yeah, if I ever make you a playlist, odds are there will be at least a little bit snuck in there! There’s even a lot of it on Winter’s playlist.
002. My family likes to say that I am, to borrow a phrase from my stepfather, "an endless fount of useless knowledge." While maybe not useless so much, I do tend to be the kind of person who has a lot of random fun facts about... some really random topics. Part of it is just stuff that I pick up, and part of it is things that I've done deep-dive research into. Want to talk about how the Pied Piper of Hamelin was a real person? Did you know luna moths all die of starvation because they don't have mouths? Have an ailment? I probably know an herb or a crystal that's supposed to help! Do you like video games? Talk to me about the Nintendo Virtual Boy and how it was totally ahead of its time -- even if it came out like two years too late! I love nerding out about silly things, so like... if you have a “weird” hyper-fixation, I want to hear about it. I love learning new things.
003. I am a huge Dungeons and Dragons nerd. Anyone who's hung around me for any amount of time will learn that pretty quickly. I'm currently playing a Level 5 swashbuckler rogue, Catiana Freespark, trying to find out what happened to her family and the ship they sail on, the Loreley. She's starting the journey now of multiclassing into a tempest cleric of Procan, after he has been coming to her in times of need -- including bringing her back from the dead in our last session. On top of that, a malevolent sea goddess is now looking for her mother. Huge mysteries keep popping up around her, and I can't wait to see where they're going. ( was this a cheat since it’s not really about me? perhaps )
— EXPERIENCE
001. I’ve been on this hellsite for over ten years now! That’s right, you wee youngin’s, I started back in 2011. I remember when you had to go to a whole other page in order to write a post, and everything looked like shit but at least Tumblr wasn’t constantly changing things for the worse! No post cutting! Massive gifs! Icons? Who is she? I’m a bit stuck in my ways and I’ve been here through like 300 trends and all that bs, but as bad as this site is, it’s my comfort place.
002. I’ve also done some writing on forums in the past, including LiveJournal very briefly. Back in yonder days I actually got started roleplaying online on the Neopets and Gaia Online forums. Yikes. It was... very cringey. These days, I’m not on any forums, ever since the one I was truly invested in closed.
003. I’ve been writing for practically my entire life. It’s always been something that brings me comfort. Growing up, I had... some less-than-ideals issues happening, so I tended to lean into creating fantasy worlds and situations as a form of escapism. I’ve never quite outgrown it!
— MUSE PREFERENCE
If you ask me, I can't quite explain it. Sometimes, your heart just reaches out to a character, latches on and goes "THAT ONE." That's the best way I can summarize it.
I love complex characters, characters that give me the room for interpretation. I'm sure Mal will point out that I love tsundere characters and that's probably because of I see my own behaviors in them. Generally, I choose canon characters to roleplay because I like having the set parameters. I've never been very good at creating OCs, though playing D&D has been improving my skills -- and honestly, if you look at my D&D characters, I think my love of the "edgy but also soft hearted" character type shows itself pretty well.
— SUB-GENRES
FLUFF: Honestly, my lifeblood. I love... soft interactions... And while it can't be everything, because some characters just can't allow themselves to be open in those vulnerable ways, I love writing it and reading it. Winter in particular shows her softness in unusual or downplayed ways, and I love getting to figure out those little things that she does.
SMUT: I love smut when it serves a purpose. Like, just smut rp for smut sake makes me feel uncomfortable and I'm not trying to shame anyone who really enjoys writing it, but for me... there needs to still be interaction to it. Commentary, reasons, character thoughts. Those deeper looks at characters when they are so exposed fascinate me.
ANGST: The good shit. So often in series, I feel like the traumatic moments are brushed aside for pacing and the like, so it's always interesting to explore those little glimpses that we get of characters and their coping mechanisms.
IN GENERAL: I love writing complex emotions. I love going from teasing to hurt and back again. I love writing characters that have human reactions to one another, and seeing the way that someone else's muse might react differently than how I and my muse expected. That's the whole game, right?
— PLOTS vs MEMES
I love plots! I'm just absolutely atrocious at coming up with them or approaching people. Memes are definitely a safe way to jump into things with me, because I'm likely to be 200 times less awkward about it. However, if you ever come at me with a plot like "hey I think x thing and y thing could happen between our muses," odds are I'll be hyped for it.

chikier :
whenever somebody responds with “I beg your pardon?” assert your dominance by announcing “Then Beg.”
c l o v e r :
“You make a good point. I’ll give it more thought.” Clover nods his head as he agrees with her. He too wouldn’t like ‘little’ for a nickname.
“Oh? Fuyumi means, well, here let me show you.” Clover perks up at Winter’s interest in the name and he looks for paper and a pen. He’ll take whatever opportunity to speak in Mistrali.
“Fuyu when written like this means winter and mi means…” Clover’s cheeks warm a little and he laughs it off softly.
“Beauty.”
Clover passes the paper to Winter when he’s finished and he shows her how the name is written. His smile is full and beaming, hoping it doesn’t offend her or break the formality of their ranks.
“Winnie might be better.” He tries to downplay it as his hand rubs the back of his neck a bit timidly.
There's something of a smile in her eyes, watching as Clover seems to brighten that little bit more at her question. Any excuse to talk about something he loves, and he would take it -- that much, she's learned over their months working alongside one another.
Moving to watch as he writes out the careful strokes, her gaze lifts at the explanation of the potential nickname, the little laugh that follows before the paper is passed to her.
Winter beauty. He certainly was poetic when it suited him, wasn't he? Crystalline eyes remain on the paper a moment longer, even once he seems to be brushing the flattery aside to instead stick with the more familiar, the safer option. She should agree, of course -- but it doesn't come as quickly as it should.
"...Call me whatever you wish, Clover." The paper is folded, nonchalantly placed into the pouch at the small of her back. "Anything is better than you insisting on calling me Specialist Schnee. I think we've at the very least passed that milestone."
@flightofaqrow asked: no, no, no. she possibly misunderstands. "hey now," qrow leans in, with a warm hand on Winter's shoulder, and the soft scratch of a whisper in her ear, "--darlin'"
There is no immediate response, save for the way that she goes a bit rigid -- a shiver working up her spine before a slight stuttering noise slips past her lips. She gives up on it just as quickly, desperate to save face and seeing no possible way to do as much. Any protest will tell him exactly what he already knows.
@caeloservare asked: “Winnie? The pooh?” James is not good with nicknames. Excuse him for being utterly confused about the one Clover suggested.
Well, it appeared that Ironwood was putting more thought into the nickname of Clover's than she had. At the very least, he was more concerned about it than she had been.
"I believe he was playing off shortening my name. I can't say I understand the purpose of a nickname that's as long as my name, but... you've met Clover. Once he has his head set on something, he sees it through."
@flightofaqrow asked: Aside from Ice Queen; Win. Lady. Frosty. Doll. Darlin'. Probably more to be determined.
GIVE MY MUSE A NICKNAME / PET NAME. // accepting !!
"You know, all this nickname nonsense is already your fault."
Frosty is sure to get an equally frosty reception. Win, she can live with -- seeing as Clover already calls her Winnie and she's given up on trying to get him to be ~professional~. The others... would depend on context: there's a stark contrast between a soft 'darling' and a biting one.
@courtclover asked: "Nicknames I give you, hmmmm." Clover ponders. "How about winnie, fuyumi, or little dove?"
GIVE MY MUSE A NICKNAME / PET NAME. // accepting !!
"I can't say I'm particularly fond of being called little anything..." Although, the opposite would have been more irritating, so she supposed she should at least be grateful for that much. She had to think that his options had been more... gentle than some others would have been.
"...The first and last I understand, but... fuyumi?"
some day I will commission someone to draw Qrow and Winter as Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma...
@flightofaqrow asked: ✨
🐝 * ― send ✨ or ( ‘SPARKLE’ ) and i’ll tell you at least one thing i like most about you , your blog , your portrayal , your muse. // accepting !!
The language choices !! Holy crap, your prose is so good and it's always very intentional. You also do a really good job of actually writing his manner of speech -- a mix between casual slurring and nonchalance, to more intentional, careful language when he so chooses. Every word feels so carefully picked and it's just a pleasure to read. ;w;
