Yang Xiao Long is one of my favorite characters from any show, and there is a very good reason for that. In RWBY consequences actually matter most of the time, and Yang is a product of that. Despite the fact that at the beginning of the show all of the characters are relatively shallow, Yang is proof that throughout the show every character gets the attention they deserve and grow because of it. By the time of the current season, Yang feels like a real person, and you can actually understand her emotionally. In the beginning, Yang relates to the ancient Greek heroes of myth, and serves as the unbreakable pillar of the team. But as time goes by, you realize that she has her own fracture points, and is far from invincible. When she finally reaches her "fall" as a hero, it is a genuinely shattering moment. The pillar has fallen, and the world held up by it is left to have its own "fall". Yang has to be given time to recover and she hasn't been the same for the rest of the show. I want more characters like Yang in pop culture. A while back, I did a blog on what I wanted in a character, and Yang is a perfect example of that. A character doesn't have to appear unique to be unique, and Yang really helped me appreciate that.
