In a world where darkness manifests in the form of vicious creatures that are drawn to fear, a vicious cycle, heroes must arise. It is a formula not meant to be broken, no matter how dire it is for these brave souls, especially in the latest seasons of this well-known show, “RWBY,” created by Rooster Teeth. The story is compelling and complex, charming and chaotic, dark and rich. You think with academies that train hunters and huntresses, weapons that bring out creativity and epic fights to the max, and a lore deep with deities and unique lands, that magic would be common or at least found. No. Magic is not native to the modern world of Remnant. Yet, the series introduced a thing called a ‘semblances,’ an ability you are born with that can help you. Some people have super speed. Some can make illusions. Some can heal auras (also a critical point everyone has here). Elemental abilities with the aid of special dust…And yet MAGIC is unheard of?! It blows my mind!
Still, I think this element to the show is entertaining and fun to watch, how they use it to help them in combat or life. So, which semblances are my favorites? You can find out on my list here. To find a description, I suggest this site. It helped me a lot with the names and is an excellent resource. Let’s Live! Let’s triumph! Let’s rise like the moon. Pumped for season 9!
