u/Heloselheroe

Greenlight Vol. 10 | RWBY | VIZ We are so back! I want the return of Whitley, Ren, Winter, Merlot, Tyrian, etc. Which character do you want to see return?

Have you ever had to change the personality of one of your characters so that they weren't so unpleasant?

Ernst Orangefarben (Leader of the Mantle Revivalists) was originally a more racist leader. Someone who was willing to kill innocent faunus in order to help his own kind (the humans of Mantle).

But then I realized I preferred him as a more morally gray character, so I decided to change him. Now, while he's still racist, his goal is to exclude faunus from politics. But beyond that, he doesn't wish to harm them physically.

Yes, he's still a disgusting character. But he also has good attributes, like his concern for the humans of Mantle and some progressive and liberal ideas against the Atlas elites.

Overall, I would consider him an anti-villain.

But what about you? Any villains or heroes you've decided to change to make them less nasty?
