Yang Xiao Long is one of the main protagonists in RWBY. Yang is described as being a cheerful, energetic and bright young lady. She is arguably the most flippant, carefree and adventurous member of her team, frequently making sarcastic comments and jokes even in the heat of battle and often taking combat and hostile situations lightly. Yang is very sociable and extroverted, even in unfamiliar situations.
Yang has been hinted on multiple occasions to hold romantic feelings towards Blake Belladonna. As of Volume 9 Episode 6, she has entered a relationship with Blake.
Yuri Feats[]
- In the very first trailer of Volume 1, Yang and Blake were compared to Beauty and the Beast in the song Red Like Roses.
- In Volume 2 of the series, Yang opens up to Blake in a way that she has never done before to her other teammates (including her own sister), before enveloping the latter into a hug.
- In the exact same episode, Yang offers to dance with Blake, winking in the process.
- In Volume 3, Yang prioritizes finding Blake over finding her sister.
- Yang becomes the most aggressive that she has ever been shown in the entirety of the series at the sight of Blake being harmed, charging towards her attacker recklessly with tears in her eyes.
- Even with her being separated from her entire team (excluding Ruby), the lack of Blake is what causes the most reaction once the topic is brought up by her sister. She's noticeably hurt that Blake had abandoned her and the rest of their team.
- In the credits of Volume 4, a song plays that is sung from the perspective of Yang. A part of it is directed specifically towards Blake, stating "I'm racing to her side. There's nothing that I won't do for her." Although the song could have been about Ruby given Yang went to Raven to find her sister.
- In Volume 5, Yang is incredibly dismissive and hostile towards the rest of her team once Blake is mentioned, signalling that she is still hurt by her lack of presence.
- In the same episode, Yang claims that she "needed Blake there for her."
- There is a song dedicated to Yang and Blake which is entirely focused on their "growing love". However, this song was later confirmed to not be canon.
- A song titled All That Matters was included in the finale of Volume 5 that centers around Yang's feelings of uncertainty and betrayal upon Blake leaving and finally returning.
- In episode 10 of Volume 6, Yang and Blake ride on top of the former's motorcycle. When the latter goes missing when trying to complete her mission, Yang searches for her without hesitation. It is revealed later on in the episode that Blake is being attacked by Adam Taurus, and Yang arrives to defend her in episode 11.
- In episode 12, Blake and Yang manage to successfully kill Adam, and when the former collapses to the ground in tears, Yang hugs and reassures her that she knows that she won't break her promise to never run away again.
- Throughout the entirety of Volume 6 Blake and Yang have held hands on multiple occasions.
- The credits song in Volume 6 is about Yang and Blake defeating Adam.
- In Volume 7, Yang gets flustered when she sees Blake's new haircut and later Nora Valkyrie thinks that there may be more going on between the two.
- Arryn Zech (the voice actor of Blake) has stated that both Yang and Blake are starting to notice their feelings for each other.
- In an interview with Kerry Shawcross (one of the head writers of the show) someone asked if Yang and Blake were in love, and he responded by saying, "You'll have to watch to find out. Would it be worth it for me to say it? No. Just watch the show to experience it. It seems like whatever happens is going to be more worth it if you see it in the show."
- She managed to start a shipping war twice the size of KatAang vs ZuTara just by existing within the same frame as Blake. (Don't know if this counts as a yuri feat but it's impressive nonetheless.)
- In Volume 9 Episode 6, she and Blake kiss after confessing their feelings for each other, and continue kissing for an extended period (Blake even has her leg pop up once the two come back from their perilous predicament).
- In Justice League x RWBY: Superheroes and Huntsmen, Part One, Yang and Blake have a few blushing moments together.
- In Justice League x RWBY: Superheroes and Huntsmen, Part Two, Yang and Blake kiss during the team picture.
