(I Burn - Jeff Williams ft. Casey Lee Williams)

https://youtu.be/jYlQF39LBi4

Adam: The planet Remnant is a desolate place, filled with creatures of darkness known as the Grimm. They are soulless creatures who nearly drove mankind to near extinction. Then one day, mankind discovered a power known as Dust that would help them fight these vile creatures. This Dust would help them in the war against the Grimm, and long lasting peace followed. In this moment, they strengthened themselves against the Grimm if they ever come back.

Randy: Mankind created Huntsman Academies to train teams of young boys and girls to slay the various monsters that roamed the world of Remnant. One of the students was named Yang Xiao Long. Yang was the daughter of Raven Branwen and Taiyang Xiao Long. At an early age her mother abandoned her, and her father became romantically involved with Summer Rose, who would eventually give birth to Ruby.

Vanessa: However, Summer is a Huntress and would go on to do missions. But then one day, she was killed. Losing both his loved ones sent Tai into a mental breakdown and Yang learned that Summer wasn't her biological mother, but Raven who had abandoned her upon giving birth. W-Wait, she only found out Summer wasn't her birth mother after she died? Not the fact, oh I don't know, that they totally had different hair colors and themes?!

Adam: Motivated to find out why her mother left her, one day, Yang attempted to follow up on what she thought was a clue to her whereabouts and waited until her father left the house and traveled to the location herself, wheeling Ruby in a wagon and walking until she was bruised and tired. Upon arriving at the building, Yang and Ruby were attacked and almost killed by three Beowolves.

Randy: Their uncle and Raven's brother, Qrow Branwen, thankfully, appeared just in time to save them. Yang was ashamed of her stubborn, brash actions, aware that she had almost gotten her younger sister killed, and resolved to continue searching for her mother while helping to raise Ruby, but also to not allow that search to consume her.

Vanessa: That's where she and Ruby attended Beacon Academy, joined up with Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna to form..... Team RWBY! *Sarcastic* How original.

Yang Xiao Long

Superhuman strength, agility and durability

Bare-fisted fighting style similar to Muay Thai

Flight via Ember Celica

Aura

Healing factor via Aura

Prosthetic Arm (Has a built-in shotgun and can channel Aura through it)

Semblance: Burn (Gets stronger whenever Yang takes physical damage)

Ember Celica (Orange ammos are long-ranged, red ammos are explosive and has sticky grenades)

Adam: Yang has a fighting style similar to Muay Thai and is physically one of the strongest members of Team RWBY. And like most Huntsmen and Huntresses, Yang has a weapon that functions as both a gun and a melee weapon: Ember Celica. These are shotgun gauntlets that can fire different types of ammo. Red being explosive, orange is suited for long range and has sticky grenades that have timers. She can also propel herself in the air by firing ammo away from her.

Vanessa: As with everyone living being on Remnant, Yang has an Aura and Semblance. Aura is the physical manifestation of the soul which grants protection and healing factor which can last until Aura runs out. And Yang's Semblance, Burn, give her the ability to absorb any hits she takes and dish it back with twice the damage. Also, did we mention she glows up like Super Saiyan whenever she uses it. More like "Super Sai-Yang" right?

Randy: That is, until Adam slice one of her arms off. But not to worry, she got a robotic arm which she can channel Aura through it and thus can still use her Semblance. It's even got a built in shotgun like Ember Celica and can detach it if it's caught. Talking about dis-"arming" them.

Adam: *Eyes twitching* ..... Remind me never to pair you two up again.

Feats

Beat Junior's gang singlehandedly

Blocked attacks from Paladin-290

Obliterated Paladin after her Semblance absorbed two hits

Survived being hit 10000 feet in the air (Survived 48.83 tons of force casually)

Fought Beowolves for a whole day

Punched Junior through a pillar without using the Ember Celica

Fought 7 armed Branwen clan members into commission in 1 minute and 58 seconds singlehandedly

Helped defeat and kill a Nevermore with team RWBY

Using her semblance, she punched Adam so hard the earth around him came up

Helped Blake kill Adam Taurus despite his superior speed advantage

Defended the abandoned Schnee Dust Company mine that the Amity Communications Tower was being set up above from various Grimm and probably bandits.

Defeated Vine Zeki and Elm Ederne with Blake's help

Defeated Team AB(R)N with one punch

Strongest member of Team RWBY

Saved Ruby from a Grimm (Volume 5)

Superior to base form Ruby

Defended the abandoned Schnee Dust Company mine that the Amity Communications Tower was being set up above from various Grimm and probably bandits

Easily defeated Nora in an arm wrestling match

With Ruby, defeat both Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black

Survived being punched through a pillar (With her Aura intact)

Helped defeat Neon Katt and Flynt Coal

Robot arm can send adult men flying with a single punch

Vanessa: Yang is definitely one of the skilled Huntresses of Remnant. She's killed dozens if not hundreds of Grimm in her record, destroyed a Paladin with two punches after taking hits from said mech, melted steel cubes which are worth 326.037 Tons of TNT and bested Mercury Black twice. Mercury and Emerald could dodge summoned natural lightning from Amber. And with Blake's help they defeated Vine and Elm, the latter who can stop a charging Megoliath in its tracks.

Popup: RWBY: Arrowfell is considered canon due to how it takes place in Atlas and during the events of Volume 7.

Randy: Both also defeated Adam Taurus in a rematch despite his superior speed advantage. And this bootleg Vergil bested a Spider Droid who's particle beam can dish out 1.32 Megatons of TNT and move at 42.15% the speed of light.

Adam: And her strongest bombs could hurt Salem, who threw a huge Grimm sludge that broke Atlas' shields. We can determine the sludge weighs 2,270,869,563 metric tons and thus would wield an energy output of over 407.54 Gigatons of TNT. Though keep in mind this is a huge highball given Salem immediately overpowered her after recovering.

Weaknesses

Still young and inexperienced

Impulsive

Semblance does not increase durability, so she still feels the full force of any attack

Hotheaded and reckless, charging into enemies if they harm her friends (Or Yang's hair)

Struggles to fight opponents adapted to kicking and superior speed

Low pain tolerance despite capable of tanking damage

Glass cannon; She usually fights at her weakest when her Semblance is not active (Yang is only strong if she suffers damage. Even then powerful attacks or deadly damage can overwhelm her Semblance)

Unable to use her Semblance if her Aura's depleted (Ex. Pyrrha's fight with Cinder)

Her victory against Mercury was due to him holding back

Lost against Neopolitan in combat (Yang was tired after fighting for a whole day with little sleep)

Lost her arm against Adam Taurus and passed out from shock (Suffers PTSD from this)

Has an edgy relationship with her mother Raven

Overwhelmed by the combination of Emerald's illusion and Mercury's speed

Adam: But Yang is far from being unstoppable. Aura has limits and if it's broken, Yang can't use her Semblance and that itself is another problem: her Semblance may increase her strength but not her durability so she still feels the full force of any attack which depletes her Aura even further.

Randy: She's also a hothead figuratively and literally, rushing into to fights without any form of plans and is noticeably struggling against foes who're much faster and specialized in kicks. And Yang ahs suffered PTSD from time to time after Adam cut her arm off which she eventually overcame when she and Blake killed him.

Vanessa: But in the end of the day, Yang is a formidable warrior who can stand up to any challenge in front of her, thanks to her confidence.

Yang: Yeah, I'm scared. But I'm still standing here! I'm not like you, I won't run, which is why you're going to give me the Relic.
