I'm still not fan.

No offense but just imagining her as still looking like a damn small-chested teenager despite being already a grandmother just doesn't feel right for me when there are already canon depictions of her in a more mature appearance.

The tall and full look should also have been her forever default too! I don't like the fact that it's all temporary! What gives!?

I mean. People like petite older ladies. Ask the Frieren fandom.

She could go around as Lancer in her prime, but she now keeps herself in compact lovable Nana form. When she's serious, then she goes full power and breaks out the Gazongas.

It's her Semblance. It evolved so she can get "bigger" for serious combat. Or serious lovemaking. Also it improves the morale of everyone fighting on her side.

Also the Pendragons did actually collect Pre-Moonshatter lore and magical items, and studied them. Excalibur survived the Moonshatter and they have been its keepers.

I like 'em too! But I just feel like it was better for Artoria to be full and tall instead of being petite and small.

She can be both. Because I like both Cute Saber Arturia and Hot Dommy Mommy Arturia.

Aqua Arc Profile

• Name: Aqua Arc
• Allusion: Aqua (Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!)
• Naming Process: Aqua means "water" and "blue".
• Age: 21
• Background: Once considered the brightest medical prodigy in the Arc family. She was on track to become a doctor even more accomplished than her mother Isabel, but cracked under the immense pressure at age sixteen. She ran away from Radian, dyed her blonde hair blue, and joined the dysfunctional adventurer/mercenary party KDAM (Kadmium). For years she has traveled Remnant as their field medic, using her powerful Water Control Semblance to heal wounds, purify water, and occasionally flood battlefields when emotionally overwhelmed. The party specializes in retrieving ancient relics, escorting clients through Grimm territory, and taking on high-risk contracts that sane teams avoid. Has a long, messy off and on again relationship with her team leader/boyfriend Kazuma, whom she saved from drowning.
• Race: Human
• Emblem: A stylized blue water droplet shaped like a teardrop, wrapped in the Arc family crest with tiny bubbles rising from it — symbolizing both her Semblance and her dramatic personality.
• Weapon: "Asclepius", a long staff she uses as a quarter staff. She can put Water, Ice or other Dust into the slots to enhance her Semblance or her healing.
• Semblance: Hydrokinesis: Aqua can generate, shape, and manipulate large volumes of water with extreme precision, as a liquid, solid, or gas. In combat she creates pressurized water blades, flooding attacks, ice spears, or defensive barriers. Her true specialty is healing: she can close wounds, purge toxins, and even stabilize critical injuries by controlling the water in a patient's body. In combination with Healing Dust use, she is an expert medic.The Semblance is tied to her emotions; the more distraught she becomes, the more water she unconsciously summons, which has led to several accidental indoor floods.
• Appearance: Pretty young woman with long, vivid blue hair (dyed from her natural blonde) usually worn loose or in a messy ponytail, bright blue eyes that are almost always watery, and a curvaceous figure.
• Outfit: Casual: Oversized blue hoodie (often stolen from Jaune or Kazuma), short shorts or leggings, and comfortable boots. When on an adventure, a blue and white outfit with a short skirt, leggings, and often no panties. When forced into anything formal she wears a simple white-and-blue dress that conveys her beauty. She keeps a small emergency medical kit at her hip at all times.
• Personality: Extremely dramatic, emotional, and prone to hysterical outbursts followed by immediate demands for comfort food and booze. She complains constantly about her "useless goddess" reputation and every little challenge, yet genuinely cares for her family and party members. With Jaune she is affectionate to the point of tackling him on sight, but also quick to call him a "jerk" when he teases her. Deep down she is terrified of being seen as a burden or failure. She has a surprisingly sharp tongue when cornered and will defend her loved ones with sudden, terrifying competence.

Tangerine "Tangy" "Tanya" Arc Profile

• Name: Tangerine "Tangy" "Tanya" Arc
• Allusion: Tanya von Degurechaff (Saga of Tanya the Evil)
• Naming Process: Tangerine is from the orange-colored citrus fruit: a deliberately unusual, almost whimsical given name chosen by her parents to stand out among the more traditional Arc names; she despises it and insists on being called "Tangy" or "Tanya" (the latter being her preferred professional alias). "Tangy" evokes both the sharp citrus bite of her personality and her tendency to "cut through" bureaucracy and enemies alike.
• Age: 20
• Background: One of Jaune's older sisters and a prodigy of strategy and logistics. After dropping out of the Atlas Njörðr College of Business, she founded the Private Military Company Salamander, building it into one of the most feared and efficient mercenary outfits on Remnant through ruthless efficiency, cutting-edge tactics, and zero tolerance for failure. Salamander specialized in eradicating bandit enclaves, clearing Grimm-infested territories, securing new resource veins, and providing high-end protection contracts. Her most infamous operation, which earned her the nickname "Butcher of the Balto Pass", saw her annihilate a major bandit coalition that had been raiding Atlas supply lines for years. After the Breach exposed how deeply Vale's defenses had been compromised, the Council commissioned her directly into the Valean Defense Force as Colonel and gave her carte blanche to rebuild the entire security apparatus from the ground up. She now commands the defense of Vale itself in the lead-up to the Vytal Festival, working closely with Atlas Specialists (including Winter Schnee) while still running Salamander on the side as a deniable asset. She has taken on First Lieutenant Viktoriya "Visha" Ivanova as her fiercely loyal aide-de-camp.
• Race: Human
• Emblem: The Arc Family rainbow crescent crossed by a stylized silver saber, with a single blood-red droplet at the point.
• Weapon: "Devil's Due" — A Dust-infused saber with a hilt etched in the Arc rainbow crescent. The blade channels Fire, Lightning, and Gravity Dust for explosive slashes, electromagnetic parries, or sudden aerial maneuvers. Secondary: "Devil's Receipt": An Atlasian AR-84C Rifle with custom bayonet attachment with Dust-infusion.
• Semblance: Devil's Calculation: Tangy possesses an instinctive, Aura-enhanced tactical foresight that lets her instantly calculate trajectories, movements, and optimal engagement vectors with machine-like precision. In combat it manifests as an almost precognitive ability to read the flow of battle several seconds ahead, allowing her to issue orders that seem to predict the enemy's next move. Outside combat it makes her an unparalleled logistician and strategist; she can plan entire campaigns in minutes and spot weaknesses in fortifications or cybersecurity that others miss for weeks.
• Appearance: Short (5'2") but striking young woman with short, messy-cropped blonde hair, intense ice-blue eyes, and a perpetually stern, doll-like face that belies her age. She carries herself with the rigid posture of a career officer.
• Outfit: Neatly pressed green military uniform with darker green longcoat, polished black boots, white gloves, and the Arc rainbow crescent pinned to her collar. Her Dust-infused saber hangs at her left hip. When off-duty she favors practical slacks, boots, and a simple blouse, though she still looks ready to take command of a battlefield at any moment.
• Personality: Aggressive, no-nonsense, and ruthlessly efficient — a "Mad Dog of Vale" who despises incompetence, bureaucracy, and sentimentality in equal measure. She complains constantly about the sorry state of the VDF yet works tirelessly to fix it. With Jaune she reverts to classic sibling banter (calling him "dweeb," "brat," or "big baby" while he calls her "pipsqueak" or "tiny"), but she is fiercely protective of him and quietly proud of the man he is becoming. She is a strict but fair commander who inspires fanatical loyalty in her troops (especially Visha). Beneath the ice she still carries the Arc family's deep sense of duty and love for her siblings, even if she expresses it through sarcastic barbs and extra paperwork. She is very close to her father and respects her mother, though she and Isabel do clash on occasion on Tangy's choice of career.
• Notes: The White Silver, the Butcher of the Balto Pass: Tangy is one of the most terrifying and effective military minds of her generation. She has already offered Jaune a captain's commission (which he politely declined). She maintains close operational ties with Winter Schnee and Atlas, yet remains deeply suspicious of over-reliance on drones and AI. Her PMC Salamander continues to operate in the shadows as a deniable asset for jobs too dirty for the official VDF. She and Visha are a terrifyingly effective duo — Tangy plans the war, Visha makes sure the logistics (and snacks) are perfect. Despite her reputation, she still finds time to visit her family.

@AndrewJTalon with all the arc sisters have you ever thought of doing a snippet of them learning about how jaune is the rusted knight and how long he was trapped there, tbe. Of course you can add the bit on how he killed penny and the other bits that happened when team rwby landed

Verdy and Coral Arc Profile (The Twin Terrors)

• Name: Verdy Arc & Coral Arc
• Allusion: Kururi & Mairu Orihara (Durarara!!) — chaotic, hyper-energetic, and dangerously playful twin sisters — blended with Fred & George Weasley (Harry Potter) for their love of pranks, inventions, and turning everything into an explosive good time.
• Naming Process: Verdy is short for "verdant," referencing her signature green hair highlights and love of high-speed flight tech. Coral is named for the vibrant orange hue.
• Age: 16
• Background: Identical twins and the resident mad scientists of the Arc family. While most of their siblings pursued combat or medicine, Verdy and Coral threw themselves into weapons, vehicles, and experimental tech with gleeful abandon. They currently split their time between earning their college degrees by mail and working as lead engineers for Arc Armaments, Inc. and the Radian Militia. They design, build, test, and maintain everything from mechashift rifles and prototype hoverbikes to one-man flying-wing gliders and next-gen fighter avionics. Their most infamous creation, the single-seat powered glider (which isn't a glider at all), has crashed more times than Jaune cares to remember (he was their favorite test dummy).
• Race: Human
• Emblem: A split Arc rainbow crest: One half green (Verdy), one half orange (Coral), with crossed wrenches.
• Weapon: "Double Trouble": A paired set of compact mechashift SMGs that can combine into a single high-output Dust cannon or separate for dual-wielding mayhem. Each twin carries one; when used together the weapons sync via their Semblance for perfect coordinated fire. Secondary: A collapsible multi-tool that shifts between wrench, plasma cutter, and short sword.
• Semblance: Twin Synergy: When working in close proximity, the twins' Auras link, allowing them to share sensory data, coordinate movements with perfect timing, and even temporarily boost each other's physical output or technical intuition. The effect grows stronger the more chaotic or excited they become, making them terrifyingly effective in both engineering and combat, but also prone to synchronized giggles and escalating pranks.
• Appearance: Petite and athletic with blonde hair (Verdy's is spiky with vivid green highlights; Coral's is wild and voluminous with bright orange streaks). Both have bright blue eyes that sparkle with mischief and matching cheeky grins. They are nearly indistinguishable except for hair color and the faint grease stains that always seem to appear on Coral's clothes first.
• Outfit: Practical and chaotic: Oil-stained green coveralls (Verdy) or orange-accented jumpsuit (Coral) under open lab coats covered in pockets, tools, and half-finished gadgets. Both wear heavy work boots, fingerless gloves, and goggles pushed up into their hair. When forced into formalwear they somehow still look like they just stepped out of a workshop.
• Personality: Hyper, playful, and dangerously inventive. They live for pranks, explosions, and "improving" things that were already working fine. They tease Jaune mercilessly ("big bro" is their favorite target) but are fiercely protective of him and deeply hurt when he left for Beacon without saying goodbye. They speak in rapid, overlapping sentences and finish each other's thoughts with eerie synchronicity. Get along very well with their mother and father. And Ruby Rose is their favorite of Jaune's friends.
• Notes: The living embodiment of "it seemed like a good idea at the time." They once tried to mount a full Dust cannon array on a civilian hoverbike "for fire support and more speed." Jaune remains their favorite (and most frequent) test subject, though they swear they've gotten much better at not almost killing him. Their ultimate dream is to build a weapon so ridiculous that even their mother Isabel approves: A goal they admit may be impossible.

Lilac Arc Profile (The Domestic Goddess)

• Name: Lilac Arc
• Allusion: Belldandy (Ah! My Goddess!) — the impossibly kind, domestic, and radiantly gentle goddess who "kills with kindness" — blended with Fluttershy (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) for her soft-spoken nature, love of animals, and hidden inner strength.
• Naming Process: Lilac is named for the delicate purple flower symbolizing purity, serenity, and first love — perfectly capturing her gentle, almost ethereal personality and her role as the most domestic and nurturing of the Arc sisters.
• Age: 22
• Background: The second eldest of Jaune's older sisters and the emotional heart of the Arc family. While her siblings pursued combat, medicine, or engineering, Lilac chose to stay in Radian and manage the family farm's finances, operations, and daily life with serene efficiency. She is engaged to Mercer Sith Junior, a local mechanic and amateur racer, and dreams of a quiet life filled with children, home-cooked meals, and helping raise her future nieces and nephews. A devout member of the Tablebreaker Church, she finds deep peace in prayer, kindness, and service.
• Race: Human
• Emblem: Arc Crescent with a lilac flower.
• Weapon: None carried. Lilac relies entirely on her overwhelming kindness and the occasional well-timed guilt trip to resolve conflicts.
• Semblance: "Gentle Dominion" — Lilac's Aura radiates an aura of pure, unconditional kindness that makes almost any living creature (birds, raccoons, deer, mice, dogs, and occasionally even people) instinctively want to please her. Animals will happily perform complex tasks, clean, organize, or even attack threats on her behalf without any command. The effect is so strong that most people find themselves behaving better around her simply to avoid disappointing her. She has never weaponized it aggressively, but the potential for "killing with kindness" is very real. Of course it's entirely possible she doesn't have a Semblance and she's just that nice.
• Appearance: Stunningly beautiful with long, silky blonde hair usually worn loose or in a simple braid, soft blue eyes that sparkle with warmth, and a gentle, almost angelic smile. She is the most supermodel-esque of the Arc sisters-tall, graceful, and effortlessly elegant even in an apron, with curves that would make a pornstar jealous.
• Outfit: Classic domestic goddess — soft yellow sundress with a white apron, comfortable flats, and a simple lavender ribbon in her hair. She always looks like she just stepped out of a storybook illustration of the perfect homemaker.
• Personality: Radiantly kind, endlessly patient, and almost impossibly sweet. She speaks in a soft, melodic voice and finds genuine joy in cooking, cleaning, gardening, and caring for others. She is completely oblivious to social tension or romantic complications, which leads her to cheerfully assume Jaune has multiple fiancées and offer to help raise all the babies. Beneath the sweetness lies a well-controlled dark side — she can deliver devastating guilt trips or quiet, terrifying disapproval when someone truly disappoints her. With Jaune she is openly affectionate, pinching his cheeks and calling him her "cute, kind, strong little brother." Gets on very well with pretty much everyone.
• Notes: The living embodiment of "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all", except she somehow makes you feel guilty for even thinking the mean thing. Her visit to Beacon caused mass confusion, several existential crises, and at least one girl seriously reconsidering her life choices. She has already begun knitting baby clothes "just in case" and is eagerly looking forward to meeting all of Jaune's future in-laws. Despite (or perhaps because of) her overwhelming niceness, almost no one can bring themselves to argue with her for long.
