Weiss Schnee (pronounced Why-ss Sh-nee) is one of the main protagonists of RWBY.

Former heiress of the vastly influential Schnee Dust Company. After enrolling in Beacon Academy against the wishes of her father she becomes a member of Team RWBY. She is a bit of a rebel. She takes pride in her name and the company.
Weiss is "nice but can also be a little bit bitchy". She is irritable and confident in her abilities, though also acknowledges her deficiencies and the need to hone her skills further. Her confidence in her skills and intellect often comes off as arrogance to others.
Weiss vows that as a Huntress, she will elevate the Schnee name from her father’s dishonor to it and put her desires behind others’ necessities.
