Description In honor of the new character debuting in RWBY due to the Volume 5 trailer, I have drawn the Tigress Faunus and White Fang Queen...Sienna Khan based off of Jungle Book's Shere Khan.

This scene depicts her and Atlas' military General Ironwood (the Tin-Man) with the mechanical heart, and a will of steel...clashing in a tower in Mistral for the second or third time..."bantering" as they fight...and of knowing each other previous to it...


The hit across Sienna's back made contact with the butt of Ironwood's gun. Hitting her once or at all was a trial in of itself, hitting her to make it count seemed nearly impossible with how blindingly fast and agile she was, particularly compared to his metallic almost lumbering frame when compared to her reflexes, only affording him to be fast in one direction like a locomotive. She on the other hand was like an ebbing, weaving whip, just like her weapon which he had thankfully shot out of her hand....just like he remembered her. 

To think, when they'd just been dance partners at the Summit in Vacuo's peace accords...now vicious opponents on the battlefield.

She was just as elegant, and regal as she was that night, and every bit as ferocious royal in demeanor in her fighting style. 

Her eyes studied him with each strike, he could tell, as if he was being stalked in a jungle, even though they were a few inches from each other....He'd successfully  prevented her from using the range of her whip by yanking her by it to his position, but she was proving to be just as a pill in close quarters melee. 

The scratch marks on his metal and flesh arm were stringing in the cold , damp air.  

Ironwood saw an opening at the same time that she did, he delivered another strike to her gut with his strong mechanical arm, just as her leg made one to his chest in a massive kick...and both strikes made either War-Chief careen in the other direction. 


As she skidded across the floor she rolled onto all fours, hissing, with her haunches arched like a jungle cat...her aura dissipated after flickering an fiery orange red. 

On the other hand as he rolled to his feet, and a knee, his white/slate-colored aura flickered  itself....they had both warn each other down.   Now this was a dead eye game of roulette.

His chest heaved, mechanical and flesh, and so did her bosom beneath her Vacuo robes, and fog escaped her lips in the cold air as she regulated her breathing like a Mistralize Monk. 

He nodded to her, and she nodded back, this was in fact a duel.   His hand tightened on his pistol, only two shots left, and he could NOT waste them, one to make her dodge, the other to fire into the path of where she dodged to.    His arm rotated making a mechanical whirring as it did, preparing to chamber for a strike if need be. 

Her fist tightened on her whip hilt, and relaxed in rhythm, her wrist ready to flick it out like a snakes bite as it glowed with fiery gold. 


The rain continued to pour outside, loud enough to drown out other sounds now that the heat of battle had died down by a smidgen.

FLASH went the lightning with blinding light, it was what both were waiting for. He lunged for her, firing as he dive rolled back up to his feet to strike her when she inevitably either dodged towards him, or a way from him in which case he could shoot her mid air in the jump...he'd gotten the shot off before, he could do it again.  At the same time Sienna also lunged , like a Grimm Beowulf , the whip coiling in front of her a spider webbed net, but did not latch onto his arm, or strike at him at all.....instead it struck his gun, squarely on the nozzle, right as the shot went off, setting off a huge explosion that blinded him a second time......that was it....it was over.

He rose his metallic arm flipping his pistol in his hand to the butt to defend from whatever reprisal came after defensively, but the whip coiled around his wrist, and he caught a blur of her sailing past him before another strand of the whip lasso'd around his neck, and he was spun around and tugged off balance, landing on his back.

THUNDER resounded as they both came crashing to the ground....it all happening in maybe a second. She sat on him, with him half sitting up, with his gun hand and metallic arm ensnared, and any attempt to pull at the whip resulted in him strangling himself as she pulled her end taught....

Sienna's other hand was on his pistol, digging into the metal siding of it enough to crack it from the intensity of the moment, her chest and his heaved as they glared into each other's eyes knowing how close that had been for both of them.

Finally her lips curled into her royal smile, and the rain's patter was heard again to their right outside.  She pantingly blew some hair out of her face, and actually smirked the way she used to before they were enemies. 

"I win...General..."

Ironwood just let the adrenaline burn off as either attempt to try to get free or fight the pin would result in choking himself out, so as is, he was stationed with her sitting on top of him...which wasn't helping him cool down any. 

"Familiar position....?" she said almost teasingly...

To be continued...

And the genderbent tiger from the Jungle Book has relations with the Tinman from the Wizard of Oz.

RWBY is like an enormous, weird fanfic.

Only Oz allusions missing in RWBY are Dorothy, Toto, and the Wicked Witch of the West!

One of Qrow's comments to OZpin about Ironwood references the latter's allusion:
"Sometimes, I don't even think he has a heart." When I heard that line, I knew that was a reference! Their names give them away to what characters they are based on.

I believe that Oscar is the Scarecrow, he has raggedy patchwork clothes and scarf, works on a farm, has straw everywhere, and gets a BRAIN from the wizard

Well.... he's sort of Ozpin's intell, and in the story, the Scarecrow accompanies Dorthy to the Wizard in search of a brain.

That doesn't make more sense than Oscar, who was on a farm, in the fields, and a barn, has patchwork clothes and a scarf , and gets a Brain from the Wizard being Ozpin. 

Qrow and Raven are based of Hunnin and Munnin of Viking Lore, the black birds of Odin who bring omens of death and misfortune.

While I am not sure how old Sienna Khan is or what even her personality is like, but I am leaning towards a more serious Catwoman or someone akin to Ashi from Samurai Jack, minus the innocence. 

I somehow think she's the type that is both a lady of war and rather dangerous since she's in charge of the White Fang. 

Of course, I don't even know how this version of shipping could occur, but fans can dream. And this picture really reminds me of Catwoman with Batman for some reason.

"She's beauty, she's grace, she will punch you in the face." probably sums up my thoughts about (most of) the girls and women in the RWBY universe.

Nevertheless, nice prose piece and I like the character facial expressions here. Although...isn't Ironwood hinted to have some sort of previous relationship with Glynda?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Omnipotrent In reply to victortky [2017-10-13 07:55:48 +0000 UTC]

Working from the bottom up;  Yes it's hinted they have/or had something.  Glynda would NOT be happy with this exchange.

Your assertion on the woman of the Remnant-verse is correct for the most part.

The Catwoman Batman angle, or even Batman Talia angle was what i was going for here, so good catching that...given the similarities to Ironwood's stoicness and Khan's feminine appeal and dangerous foreboding rolled into one.

I concur with you however I have a few suspicions based ENTIRELY upon conjecture given what we've seen in the trailer, and heard of her in the previous volume: 

Adam was the blood thirsty one the cabal of Salem was championing and approving of, and they were sending Hazel to try to convince SIENNA if she would be persuaded to follow suit...not the other way around.

That plus the fact she's the only active and also prominent ranking member of the White Fang who proudly does not wear a mask, even when her comrades do, makes me feel she's of the previous generation of the White Fang who did not, and did not need to, like Ghira. 

I believe while she is a firm, and probably cunning leader, she is potentially more moderate than Adam where it comes to dealing with the enemy or at the very least humans.

And given the speech Adam is making to her to sway her that Humanity is LOWER than them and need to be wiped out, I see it less likely he'd need to reiterate that to her if she was already of that opinion.  So she could very easily be fighting for actual equality, and just understanding that getting there means getting hands dirty...but not necessarily doing it for roll reversal...which is the only reason Adam is in this at this point.


Ashi and Catwoman is actually a pretty likely mix i could see, and if you mean minus the innocence in that you mean minus the ignorance, then yes, I'd agree.

victortky In reply to Omnipotrent [2017-10-16 12:50:55 +0000 UTC]

I am sure she would definitely not be happy if this happened.

Thank you for agreeing with me.

Yeah, Batman's Talia would fit what's going on here, and yes...that was what I thought when I saw your version of Ironwood and Khan. XD

Of course, i understand...I look forward to Sienna Khan's appearance in Volume 5. 

Presumably so, and I wonder how Sienna would have taken it. I am sure she can more than handle herself against Hazel.

Most probably so, and I wonder she could have been Ghira's successor.

True, I would likely peg her to consider hearing someone out before taking action.

Yeah, Adam's twisted view was what he was trying to convince her at the moment, and we shall see how that worked out. I hope she's fighting for actual equality.

That's what I said, and yes...minus the ignorance (hopefully), I would agree with you.

(P.S. I watched the first episode of Volume 5, and I may have some doubts regarding the whip... no offense, of course.)

Omnipotrent In reply to victortky [2017-10-17 23:02:54 +0000 UTC]

Ghira does not speak of stepping down as if he was forced into it or didn't like the replacement, he seems very contented/happy with the way things of gone with him being the governor of the island sanctuary and someone handling the militarized side of things in Khan.

The fact that he has bi-scheduled meetings with the White Fang up in until Blake told him of how they nearly murdered her speaks of how trusting he is of the new set up.

And given the recent episode, I believe there is a coup-like split forming in the White Fang as an organization.

victortky In reply to Omnipotrent [2017-10-20 06:25:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, it could either be that or he's only in charge of the White Fang Chapter on Menagerie.

Or maybe because the Albian twins were feeding him false information.

If you have been following the clues...Adam is probably trying to take over the White Fang with the help of Hazel.
