This is more so to do as a reflection of how Yang turned out post volume 6, because it was around that time I dropped the show. I was in middle school when I first watched RWBY, and Yang was my first waifu. When I got into writing, at first it was all OCs and fanfiction, and they were all tied to Yang in someway, but then as I am writing my first ever actual story, I was influenced by Yang for one of my characters.

  
The traces are still there in her story, but I think you can tell from the first few stages of her deign on how deeply I was influenced by Yang (its crazy to see my old art work still). I just wanna write how deeply disappointed that Yang went from the big sister of the group, the one who didn't get as much attention as the other three, but I was fine with it because I was willing to be patient for future development, then everything else about her felt like a bullet point in favor of her being Blake's girlfriend, she no longer felt like her own character as a result. Her fight scenes were alright... compared to what we got at first. She no longer felt like a proper sister. Her designs got more forgettable as time passed, I watched some YouTube videos talking about how people try to remove femininity in some designs and it results in some characters looking so bland and forgettable and to be honest the same deal goes for Yang as well, especially with compared to how her character was before.

  
I should clarify to everyone, I am not demanding Yang to be the exact same character since she was in volume 1 to 3. What I am advocating for is that Yang had so much more to offer that can be named:

  
\-Her post credit scene with Raven that gets turned into a dream and never gets explored again.

  
\-Her PTSD with Adam.

  
\-Her abandonment issues.

  
\-The family dynamics.

  
While these were what we started with, this could have led to more with her character before she is being reduced to Blake's girlfriend, and that's honestly what made me be pushed away from RWBY and replace the inspirations that Yang had to someone like Rangiku from Bleach.

  
Everyday when I look at Yang, I feel a slight twist in my heart of what the character could have been and who I thought she was, to then seeing her being an archtype.
