An AU where Whitley Schnee was the illegitimate child of Willow Schnee and Qrow Brawnwen. His mother always cared for him, but Jacque despised. Whether it be Jacque's own inadequacy, Willow's unfaithfulness, or simply the fact that Whitley wasn't his, the boy's red and blue eyes always caused Jacque anger, and since his sisters never stuck up for him, Whitley never cared for them either. Only his mother ever showed him any form of kindness, eventually telling Whitley of his father, and, when the abuse got to be too much for Whitley, the boy ran away from home, using a combination of his mother's semblance and magic passed to him by his father to escape. Whitley ended up being raised by Taiyang Xiao Long, alongside Ruby and Yang, under the name Azure Brawnwen. The boy even died his hair blue to hide from people who would come looking for him to drag him back to Jacque. Now, after years of training, the fifteen year old Azure Brawnwen is accepted into beacon 2 years early, where he is unfortunately met face to face with his elder sister by 2 years, Weiss.
