So some stuff has come up and i dont think i'll personally be able to finish RWBY March. But ive been building a headcanon list for a while, so i guess now's the perfect time to share it!
Nora refers to JR/JRO as "the boys" (canon?) but to RWBY as "RWBY" (canon?)
Pyrrha was insecure about her height (6'). The only one who knew was Nora. Nora's not insecure about her height (5'1") she's just mad at it
Weiss is also mad at her height. And Yang used to be insecure about hers in middle school
Everyone has carried Nora at least once. Whether because they wanted to or she forced them or they had to drag her out of something
Salem is colorblind (either by birth or by Grimm Pond dive)
Blake once licked her whole hand and then used that hand to push Ruby's hair back. No one will let her live that down
Sun likes to play with other peoples hair and clothes and gets really happy when they do it back (grooming is a important social aspect for primates). This behavior makes people think he's dating either Blake (who gets it) or Neptune (who's used to it and just lets him do what he wants)
At Beacon Blake wouldnt let anyone touch her hair out of fear they would move her ribbon or they would notice her cat ears. She actually really likes brushing or braiding her own or other people's hair
Pyrrha has a scar on her neck. Thats why she's always covering it. She always admired Weiss for walking around with hers on full display
Blake hung out with Sun and Neptune a lot in V2/V3. Thats why she knew Neptune was afraid of water
Emerald has never kissed anyone
Mercury was always a quiet kid. When he was talkative it was because he was having fun or being mean
Emerald dresses the (almost) exact way that Yang does but if anyone drew the same first conclusions about her that she did about Yang she would be very upset
Salem stopped going by "Princess Salem" after her rescue, only bringing it up if it would help a situation her and Ozma were in. She started somewhat going by it again when she was recruiting her army. She didnt go by "princess" again but she did go by "queen" and "goddess" after her false god stint
Bc they need more animal characteristics outside 1 physical trait and goodish night vision
Faunus senses are a lot stronger than humans (other than sight*, which is equal to or less) *its canon they have night vision, so this is in regards to normal daytime 20/20 sight
Most faunus' can smell other faunus, down to the species-type (is there a word for that?)
Theres an old wives tale that the more human DNA you have, the weaker the strength of your senses are
Faunus who marry other faunus tend to end up with a spouse of the same or similar species-type. (Theres no socialital push its just statistics. Like how ppl tend to marry other ppl from the same backgrounds or class as them)
Depending on the species-type, some faunus have internal characteristics that allow them to: growl/howl (vocalcords/voicebox), have a higher bite force (jaw muscles), etc
There are stereotypes surrounding species-types. Cat-types like fish, primate-types will go through your stuff, rodent-types are short, that faunus who resemble solitary animals avoid social situations, etc
There are ridiculous rumors that faunus have a mating season/go into heat and that they lay eggs instead of giving birth
Perfumes and other scented things created and used by faunus are made differently, since their sense of smell is so strong. Walking into a human mall can be very disorienting because of the strength of human perfumes/candles
Animals were named after the types of faunus, not the faunus after the animal
The partners were Summer x Taiyang and Raven x Qrow
Raven is also a alcoholic
Raven and Qrow started drinking at a young age and drank fairly often at Beacon (Tai wasnt complaining then but he complains now)
Both of them became functioning alcoholics well before anything truly bad happened (ex. Summer's death or Raven's exile)
STRQ has one matching tattoo, they were all suppose to get partner tattoos but instead only Summer and Tai got them while Raven and Qrow got completely different tattoos (they're already twins and will already be tied together for the rest of their lives by Raven's semblance. Plus they'd never agree on one)
Raven has a portal to Ruby
Tai married Qrow first while they were in the Remnant version of Las Vegas for a mission. They were drunk and thought it would be a hilarious thing to lord over Raven. And it was ("i shouldve stayed married to Qrow", "hey, Tai put a ring on my finger before he ever put one on yours!", "you see, my sister married my ex-husband, which means she was the second choice", "well, for your information, i have married every member of my team")
