[To Ozpin, both of them interrogating a Blake who has just entered Vale as a fugitive from beyond the city. Her tone is skeptical, incredulous. This isn't the first crazy risk the Headmaster has made on a prospective student, and it can be infuriating knowing it often falls to you to clean it up.]

"You are making a mistake, Headmaster. This girl is a fugitive. She was caught right at the border! And you wish to let her just sit down and study with your students?"

[Alongside Prof. Oobleck, facing a large Grimm attack. She is calm and composed, making some light banter while preparing to attack, as if she's done this many times before.]

"This would not be the craziest situation I’ve found myself in, Professor Oobleck. And I suspect this year promises crazier yet."

[Addressing Team RWBY's class, as part of Combat Training 101. Her tone is composed, yet almost poetic, like she knows this from experience so well it's like she's narrating from the tales of her memory.]

"One essential lesson of being in a team, is learning that not only do you have to work around your teammates’ weaknesses… but with them; and cover their flaws with your gifts. Hold each other up -- if each of you have your backs to each other, then you are less likely to fall over, correct?"
