So, while re-watching RWBY (in particular Players and Pieces)  I came up with the idea of matching my characters with a corresponding chess piece. This is what I came up with:

- The Queen: Viola (A queen is often used as bait, and people are often fooled by Viola's looks.  Its also the most powerful piece)

- The King: Midori (The king backs up the queen, and isn't as strong until the endgame phase.  Midori backs up Viola, and while not physically strong, his magic is usually what finished off opponents.)

- Rooks: Oran and Flynn (Rooks are stronger pieces, matching the physical strength of these characters.)

- Bishops: Hazel and Aurora (Bishops have a better range of movement.  These characters are ranged fighters.)

- Knights: Zaffre and Ornella (Knights are better on a crowded board, and these characters fight best at close range.)

Taking into account the value of each piece and it's movement range, I matched them to the characters. For such a small idea, it took more research than I expected. So, I'd be interested to see what other users think about what pieces suit their characters and why. Let me know in the comments. :)
