Elaine Burgundy

"Careful, boys. I do more than just look after books."

- Elaine Burgundy Elaine Burgundy, also known by her code name, "Spear Head," is a member and vice-leader of Team ZERO, and one of the main characters of the story, "RWBY: Generation Zero."

Alongside her teammates and classmates in the Advanced Classes, she and her team are assigned missions that ordinary teams wouldn't be able to handle, as well as certain tasks, such as overseeing Initiation by posing as other students.

Her main theme is "Make Me," by Kristen Agee and Onyay Pheori, while her battle theme is the original main theme of "Mortal Kombat."

Appearance
Elaine is a very attractive woman with wild, long dark brown hair and cold, icy blue eyes. Having been living in the Emerald Forest for the majority of her life, she prefers wearing light and loose clothing, such as a black tank top that exposes her midriff, and a blue toga draped over her left shoulder, splitting open at her right hip. She also wears black shorty shorts and wooden sandals with reed laces, and two necklaces around her neck, one with a blue Dust Crystal, and the other an ornate necklace with beads.

Personality
When introduced in the "Burgundy" Trailer of the story, which was titled under the name of Project, Elaine came off as cheery and social, making small talk with the customers at Tucson's Book Trade. However, this is only a facade she uses while working with her foster father. She is a no-nonsense person who, like many at Beacon, take great pride in her abilities, and is a very competitive person, always striving to win. She welcomes any challenge, showing a battle maniac side to herself. Because of her pride, she is easily insulted. She has also admitted that she has an ego, and that she "is proud of it."

In her brief appearance in the "Noir" Trailer, she also shows complete confidence in her comrades, though she is shown to be perhaps worried about Zack's bloodthirsty nature when in battle, as she hesitated to respond when Zack stated that he had "done it again."

Profile
Elaine is an exceptional Huntsman, much like any student at Beacon. She also later came to befriend fellow Huntsmen Zack Noir, Reid Sapphire, and Olivia Azure, all of whom would become trusted teammates in Team ZERO. Their skills would eventually lead to them becoming apart of the Advance Classes, special classes for students who were recognized for their exceptional talents.
