RWBY (Red/White/Black/Yellow/pronounced "Ruby") is an animated web series produced by Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth Productions.
Long before the beginning of the series, the world of Remnant used to be covered in darkness. Mankind was born into a hostile world dominated by monsters called the "Grimm". Humanity's future was at first bleak, but due to the discovery of "Dust" they were able to drive back the Grimm and create an expanding civilization. At the time of the series' start, the world is in a state of peace. In order to safeguard against the Grimm should they one day return, various academies were created to train combat specialists called Huntresses/Huntsman.
The main characters attend one of these academies called Beacon, situated in the Kingdom of Vale.
Main Characters:
Ruby Rose - Ruby is one of the four main protagonists of the show and is introduced in the first episode. She wields a High-Calibur Sniper-Scythe (HCSS) called Crescent Rose. She leaves Signal Academy to attend Beacon with her older sister Yang after being extended an invitation.
Weiss Schnee - Weiss is the second character introduced and wields the Multi-Action Dust Rapier (MADR) called Myrtenaster. She attends Beacon at the same time as Ruby and is also the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.
Blake Belladona - Blake is the third protagonist introduced and wields the Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe (VBCS) Gambol Shroud. Blake attends Beacon, however most of her past is unknown and she keeps her distance from others.
Yang Xiao Long - Yang is the last of the main protagonists to be introduced and makes use of the Ranged Shot Gauntlets, Ember Celica. She is depended upon by her younger sister Ruby and pushes her to be more outgoing at Beacon.
