#Sienna the hero Khan

[shakytailstudios]

Sienna "The Hero Queen" Khan

I have worked on a new "base" model for RWBY-esc & anime designs. One intended to be athletic, but not rippling with muscles like my other base model.

Suffice to say, fairly pleased with the result, and decided to test it and show it off with Sienna in armor based on the Fire Nations via the old concept art cos a cool aesthetic is a cool aesthetic.

Image Description: A female, Benga tiger-based Faunus with amber eyes, a dark complexion and wild black hair in an asymmetrical bob. She has tiger ears atop her head, and a red bidi on her forehead, along with tiger stripe tattoos marking a muscular, but lean frame.

She is wearing black armor with a red trim in the form of gauntlets, chest plate that shows her abs, shoulder guards with a golden spike on each and a battle kilt, along with sandals.

In most of the images she is standing with her arms resting on her hips, save for one where she stands on a white walkway, arms stretched out to show off her muscles.

I saw a post earlier today that really kinda got my goat so to speak so I wanted to re-post my take without starting shit on tumblr dot com.

I categorically disagree with the idea that Adam was ever planned to be the main leader of the White Fang pre coup.

We meet Adam leading what was suppose to be a resource acquisition mission that he turned into an attempted mass murder for shits and giggles because he is a blood thirsty idiot.

Not only is that incredibly wastefully and politically stupid of him, it is also not reflective of what Blake described the White Fang's methodology as during Volumes 1. IE the methods that actually were working and were introduce by said new leader which Adam was blatantly ignoring.

It also makes clear his relationship with Blake is awful given the manipulation, the lies, the dismissal and using her as a shield, and maniacal cackling ETC.

The second time we see Adam its in volume 2 right after its revealed that a ton of Faunus died because of Cinder's plan and Mercury wonders if they will still obey. Adam arrives and promising to continue throwing his people's lives away for Cinder. Making it quite clear where Adam stands on the subject while showing the White Fang itself lacks any loyalty to Cinder.

Before V3 we have two possible mentions, one being the silhouettes in V1, one of which could be argued to represent Adam, but also contained two other people. & the masks reference which, if Adam was the leader, you'd think Blake would just say it was an idea their leader came up with. The fact she didn't should make it clear to any viewer that Adam was just popular, but not in charge.

Going into V3, we already know he's fine throwing Faunus lives away for Cinder, so anything he says when rejecting Cinder needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Yeah Adam wasn't just gonna work with some random human cos he doesn't like humans and his people are watching so his behavior is performative. Cinder leaves, then returns and makes it clear she can kill him if he doesn't obey and he instantly bows because, shock and horror the manipulative abuser is not actually all that brave when its 'his' ass on the line, setting the stage for what we already know happens by V2.

Adam was never meant to be the leader, Adam was never a genuine revolutionary, Adam was always an abusive cowardly liar and manipulator seeking power and appeasement for himself.

Losing Sienna was a tragedy and genuinely a huge mistake on the writers part and Ghira taking over again is in no way ideal, but Adam is not some tragic loss. He's one of a dime a dozen would be revolutionaries who only care about the 'revolution' for their own ends. Any passing glance at historical revolutions and rebel movements will show people like him.

One can criticize the White Fang plotline without needing to big up someone like Adam; just like one can endorse revolutionaries without advocating for war crimes. Discuss Sienna and how she could have been introduced earlier or avoid her demise. Bring up how Ilia's arc could have potentially led her to being the one leading a revitalized White Fang. Or how Blake herself could potentially have taken the reigns more overtly, as challenging as that might be to portray given the overall plot line.

There's plenty of ways to emphasize the new generation, and tackling bigotry head on without raising Adam as a viable candidate and especially without engaging in historical revisionism as to his slated role in the series proper.

Do you know what the recent episodes of MHA highlighted to me? RWBY also tried to do the whole "Big bad manipulate the oppressed group who have faced prejudice to further their own goals" with Salem and the Faunus, but it was not utilized to its full potential at all compared to My Hero. And what makes it crazier is that MHA decides to tackle a subject like this VERY late in its story, and while it would have been nice to see it be introduced much sooner and see gradually buildup, it still feels far better executed then RWBY despite the racism storyline being apart of the show from the start

So I knew that the VA of Bakugo also played Shay D. Mann in RWBY, so I wanted to look up the cast of My Hero Academia to see how many characters in season 1 share VAs with RWBY. Turns out to be quite a bit.

All Might -> Dr. Arthur Watts

Ochako Uraraka and Recovery Girl -> Lil' Miss Malachite, Fria and Little/Somewhat

Tenya Iida -> Klein Sieben

Mina Ashido -> Willow Schnee

Tsuyu Asui -> Sienna Khan

Denki Kaminari -> The Argus Base Guards

Fumikage Tokoyami -> Tyrian Callows

Mashirao Ojiro -> Fennec Albain

Toru Hagakure -> Trophy Wife

Momo Yaoyorozu -> Jinn

Shota Aizawa -> Clover Ebi and Roman Torchwick (3rd voice)

Midnight -> Winter Schnee

Naomasa Tsukauchi -> Henry Marigold

I imagine there's gonna be a lot more cast connections in the future, and I always have a lot of fun with finding them.

(Edit: Forgot a few names in my initial ranking)

[princess-of-the-corner]

One thing I've learned from RWBY is that not every character needs to be a MAIN character (see: How badly several "fix fics" mess up the plot by giving every single drop-in character and one-note hate sink a multi-season arc that takes screentime and development from the main cast).

Another thing I've learned from RWBY is that it can REALLY hurt the story if someone who SHOULD be a major character ends up being a one-off (see: Sienna Khan, the ACTUAL High Leader of the White Fang and Adam's boss, getting abruptly killed off at the end of her debut scene before she can do anything of value, after an entire season of build-up).

So like, Aurore and Mirielle being minor characters doesn't bother me that much, but Marinette's old friend absolutely needed more build-up and screentime in order to work.

But like, instead we've got Zoe just coming in out of nowhere and having her only personality trait be "Chloe, but good" and Felix basically being a RW/DE's rewrite version of Adam Taurus as "edgy anti-hero who conquers a major female character".

Oh yeah basically

[bestworstcase]

I enjoy a lot of your posts and while I know she's not your focus any thoughts on Sienna "The Hero Queen" Khan?

truly think killing sienna off is THE weakest narrative decision in the story to up to this point and likely to remain so through to the end—which isn’t an unpopular opinion necessarily but whenever i’ve encountered this sentiment coming from other people, it’s generally predicated on the feeling that she was super cool (true!) and deserved more screen time on that basis. whereas i tend to think about it more in terms of the purpose her death served to the wider narrative of the white fang plot arc and if that purpose was realized, and i think the answer to that is no.

the white fang plot arc was always going to fall rather flat bc of the vocabulary problem—in essence, they tried to explore what ‘violence’ means in the context of civil rights activism and tripped because the binary non-violent/violent language applied to the narrative is inadequate to articulate the actual ideas being expressed, and the storyline would have been better served by a model focused on the tactical value of offensive vs defensive methods and the sharp divide between tactical violence to further specific, narrow goals (sienna) vs violence as the end in itself (adam)—BUT, the killing of sienna khan is the structural flaw that causes the storyline to collapse.

the point of killing sienna is to illustrate why adam is wrong (he refuses to differentiate oppression from merely being denied something he wants, and consequently inflicts violence on his notional allies as readily as he does his actual oppressors). taken in isolation, the beat accomplishes what it’s meant to do and in that sense it’s ‘successful.’ however, it also removes the key narrative argument for tactical violence from the story at precisely the moment when that argument most needs to be put forward (i.e. the culmination of adam’s corruption of the white fang), leaving it represented solely by ghira’s respect and support for sienna’s leadership of the white fang. even with all other factors being ideal—which they aren’t, but for argument’s sake—i do not think this is enough to develop the narrative arc to its intended resolution. and indeed the white fang plot arc ultimately fizzles out.

i think the stronger choice would have been to structure the entire adam-vs-sienna conflict as a schism. this takes some reconfiguring of the arc as a whole but isn’t difficult to accomplish; i think the most significant change to the set up is for one (or both) of the albain brothers to be genuine—for what they tell ghira early on about adam’s splinter group going rogue and sienna’s white fang repudiating his actions and moving to intervene to be entirely true. meanwhile ilia and her little enclave of adam loyalists can be in menagerie with the goal of supplanting the albains, who remain loyal to sienna.

setting the pieces up this way serves two purposes. first, it brings the question of violence as means vs violence as ends to the forefront from the beginning; and second, it allows for a much greater degree of narrative clarity with respect to the belladonnas being pacifists who support, rather than condemn, sienna’s more violent methodology. the latter reason is something that already exists in the narrative—ghira is quite vocal in his support for sienna’s leadership and his stance that her activism is worthy of admiration regardless of his personal discomfort with violence—but it’s a lot punchier and a lot cleaner if the locus of the conflict in kuo kuana is about the belladonnas allying themselves directly with sienna’s white fang against an attempted coup by adam’s splinter group.

with this setup the blake-vs-ilia conflict and its resolution can still unfold more or less as in canon; it simply allows for, again, a greater degree of clarity regarding what is wrong about ilia’s choices if blake is aligned with sienna’s white fang throughout.

anyway, all of that builds toward adam making an attempt on sienna’s life—but in the context of his splinter group being a minority of the white fang, so she isn’t betrayed by her personal guard, and thus the result is an explosive skirmish probably ending with sienna injured and carried to safety by her remaining guards. you still get all the shock and bloodiness of adam’s coup, you still get hazel’s utter disgust with the betrayal, but you also get to keep sienna herself, and the part of the white fang that still answers to her, on the board.

& from there it becomes very easy to weave sienna and her faction into the confrontation at haven academy, because the belladonnas—working with very limited information about what is happening in mistral—bring a force of their own to intercept adam’s splinter group. you can just bring in sienna’s faction to pincer adam’s, then either portray the reclamation of the white fang as a joint effort by the belladonna faction and sienna’s faction or structure the resolution more along the lines of “the white fang is fully back under sienna’s leadership, and ghira is starting up a second organization to focus on separate but similar goals, because activism is complex and having multiple, ideologically diverse activist groups working in tandem is better than putting all our eggs in one basket.”

also she’s cool and deserved more screen time jkgdjfbsjs

I have the biggest smile on my face right now, she looks wonderful!

Great stuff

I will humbly beg for you to draw Sienna Khan, both for the month of Pride and for the sake of her having more good art. I know you can do it.

There are other Analogues - RWBY’s White Fang

I always find comparisons between the White Fang and like, the Black Panthers or Malcom X to be... Off... 

Not to say its inherently invalid, but like, the Black Panthers weren’t a paramilitary organization and Malcom X didn’t engage in corporate espionage and assassination know?  

I always felt that the IRA was a better comparisons to the White Fang. 

For those unfamiliar the IRA was actually well liked and respected in its early to mid days. When they did bombings on areas with civilian personnel they called ahead to evacuate people.

This was smart because it disrupted and damaged the government while avoiding having them become party to massacring civilians who couldn’t have fought back in anyway. 

As time went on though the organization had some fractures.

Certain commanders started to mistreat the very people they were meant to be fighting for in the interest of personal power or ideology and they became careless with their killing which also turned public opinion against them. 

This obviously happened over a long period of time, but the point stands that the IRA started off using controlled, competent violence to practical effects on suitable targets. But steady became fractured, callous and corrupted, causing them to harm their own, themselves and their cause. 

It just very much seems to me that is a lot closer to the Whiten Fang storyline, of an ambitious killer leading a splinter faction, while being funded by outsiders just using him and the cause to their own benifit. 

[twilightguardian]

Explain to me how they fixed Sienna Khan? The morally grey POC Woman with a vision? The actual wasted potential? If your response is to focus on Adam Taurus? Congratulations! You may just be a racist misogynist when it comes to fanfics! Because in FRWBY, sienna khan does not exist, only the male self inserts do.

lol Xel is this you? (jk jk) The hour I decide I let anon asks back up I get this. It's too funny.

Is this supposed to be an r/explaintomelikeimfive? Or whatever.

Sienna is such a nothing character that literally anything you do with her would be a marked improvement of what canon did with her. She had literally five minutes of screen time. Well, alive. 10% of her screen time she was dead on the floor.

Nothing significant about Sienna changed in FRWBY other than referencing her earlier than she did, giving her more screentime, and showing her downfall to Adam just as it had been in canon. The difference being we see more of her being the leader of the WF, and more of the internal politics itself. Sienna had to make a tough decision to allow Onryu, a character we never see on screen in FRWBY, btw, to be sent to jail in order to salvage the reputation of the White Fang.

Sienna has a role to play, and unfortunately, it's never going to be a big one. Maybe if RT went with "Remnants" instead of "RWBY" and made the show less focused on the main girls, then there could be more focus on people outside of the main cast of heroes and villains. As it stands, Sienna is just a bit player in a B Plot. There's only so much expanding even FRWBY can do with the limitations FRWBY has in place without shifting the main story to being about the White Fang instead of Salem.

That's all she was in canon though. Just to prop up Adam. She came into existence in the episode she was killed, and was only there to show Adam's lengths he'll go to get what he wants. In canon, she only existed for Adam. In FRWBY we at least see a little more of her outside of that one scene. We see how she made Ilia feel conflicted alongside her interactions with Adam and how that affected her. So, no, FRWBY doesn't have her focus on Adam, that's canon.

No, it really doesn't. Your mentality on this is rather childish and black and white. These are case-by-case basis we're dealing with and to boil down someone as being a racist or misogynist over a fanfic because you don't like it is really disgusting and says more about you than the people you're going after. Maybe step outside. Breathe fresh air. Touch grass. You know what grass is, right? That green stuff on the ground. No, it's not the floor, it's called ground. Dirt. Earth. Terra.

lmao seriously what the fuck is wrong with you.

Oh look there, Sienna existing in Fixing RWBY.

[kuokuana]

Corsac's and Fennec's primary allusion is the Kitsune of Japanese folklore. Kitsune are mischievous fox spirits, and can be both benevolent or malevolent in nature. Benevolent Kitsune, known as Zenko, are associated with and often the messengers for Inari, a Shinto god, whom in this case would either be Ghira Belladonna or Sienna Khan. In spite of this, Zenko are still considered trickster spirits, as they are known to shapeshift in Japanese folklore to fool unsuspecting humans for various, though not necessarily harmful, reasons. No matter what side they're on, Corsac and Fennec are talented liars and manipulators, knowing how to get what they need out of others.

Malevolent Kitsune, Yako (or Nogitsune in some places), harbor no loyalty to any particular deity and their tricks are often for nefarious purposes. They are well-known thieves; Corsac and Fennec grew up on the streets, often stealing food and other supplies just to get by. A Zenko spirit can also "fall from grace", become a Yako spirit, and vice versa. Depending on the verse, Corsac and Fennec can either get better or become worse.

Corsac's and Fennec's secondary allusion is Hermes, the Greek god of mischief and the herald of the gods. Hermes has been known to assist several Greek heroes, such as Odysseus and Perseus, and is typically the messenger for Zeus, the king of the gods, specifically. Corsac's and Fennec's loyalties are verse dependent, but they are primarily Sienna Khan's errand boys and sent to assist or carry out tasks when need be.

This one only makes me want to vote for Sienna harder.

IM SO HYPED FOR THE FINAL ROUND! BLAKE VS SIENNA!
