RWBY Volume 1 (2013)

Ruby Rose finds herself in the middle of a robbery committed by famous criminal Roman Torchwick. Her efforts to stop him attract the attention of Professor Ozpin, head of Beacon Academy.

Ruby makes a new friend, the bumbling swordsman Jaune Arc, during her overwhelming first day at Beacon.

Jaune makes the mistake of flirting with Weiss but finds a friend in star athlete Pyrrha Nikos, while Ruby is horrified to learn the details of Beacon's initiation ritual.

After (literally) dropping into the vast Emerald Forest, Ruby and the other initiates scramble to find their new partners and survive against the vicious creatures of Grimm. Welcome to school, kids!

To their mutual displeasure, Ruby and Weiss are paired up during the initiation. Meanwhile Pyrhha lends a hand to Jaune, who may be in over his head at Beacon.

Yang and Blake happily partner up, while tensions rise between Ruby and Weiss.

Things are going smoothly for Blake and Yang, but everything goes south when the other pairs show up with giant monsters on their tails.

Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, and fellow students Nora and Ren fight for their lives against the monstrous inhabitants of the Emerald Forest in their first true test as Huntsmen and Huntresses.

The teams have been formed and classes at Beacon have begun, but Weiss can't understand why Ruby was put in charge of RWBY instead of her. Does the young prodigy really have what it takes to lead?

While Weiss struggles with her pride, Ruby begins to really wonder if the headmaster made a mistake in making her leader of team RWBY.

Jaune, the least-capable of the new Hunters, suffers under a bully.

Pyrrha comes up with a plan to help Jaune, but things get complicated when he reveals how he came to the school.

Jaune is being blackmailed into one terrible situation after another, but when Pyrrha becomes the target of a mean prank, he stands up to his tormentors.

Resolving the "Jaune Arc", Jaune shows everyone that he truly has potential. But can he still repair his friendship with Pyrrha?

Two new contenders come to town in anticipation of the coming tournament. Blake and Weiss clash over prejudices concerning the faunus.

After Blake ran away, the rest team RWBY searches for her. Meanwhile Blake and a new friend attempt to find out who's behind a series of thefts.
