RWBY OC Name: Dresden Aonghus Meaning & Inspiration: Dresden is based on the Irish myth of Oisin, sometimes referred to as Osheen. Since the name Oisin means “Young Deer” and in the legend, Oisin’s mother was turned into a deer, I figured it would be appropriate he’d be a deer Faunus, because why not. The story of Oisin is one in which he is invited to Tir Tairngire (the land of youth) by a fairy, named Niamh Chinn Óir, who confesses she loves him. Niamh is often known as Niamh of the golden hair so in respect for his wife and the mother of his children, gold was added to his color scheme.  After staying what fe

RWBY OC Name: Huang Zou Meaning & Inspiration: Huang is inspired by the Chinese legend Lan Ke, meaning rotten axe handle. Like many legends and stories this one has had a number of retellings; so I decided to base off of the most basic parts of the storyline.

Due to this Rip’s farm and home were often in disarray. In one particular effort to avoid his work, Rip went into the Catskill Mountains with his dog, Wolf. When he sees a man carrying a keg he offers to help him. A

RWBY OC Name: Irving Fisher (most people call him Fisher, but he is fine with either) Meaning & Inspiration: Irving was based on Urashima Tarō; a Japanese folklore where a fisherman saves a sea turtle and is invited to the Ryūgū-jō, the palace of the Dragon God, under the sea as a reward. He stays for three days but finds out he was gone for 300 years. The name Irving is a Scottish surname that can mean either “fresh water” or “green river” so that is the reason for the blue and green colors and Fisher is, well, self-explanatory.
