Wizel Schnee

"It's showtime."

- Wizel Wizel Schnee is a major character in Volume 1 of RWBY Riders: Spirits of Legend, and later the protagonist of the events of Volume 2. He is the youngest child of the Schnee family, and acts as Weiss' personal bodyguard. He is also Kamen Rider Wizard, one of the legendary heroes during the Vytal Era.

Appearance
Wizel is a young man, being a year younger than Weiss, his older sister. His hair was unruly and messy, almost the color of snow and his skin is slightly pale, but most likely his most unique feature was his eyes; his left eye was cold blue, and the right was aqua green.

Personality
Wizel is typically described as a lazy vagabond, and notoriously hard to wake up from his sleep. He is a generally laid-back person who prefers to do as little as possible unless it is something he wishes to do willingly. Despite this fact, he is a very kind and compassionate young man who cares deeply for his family and friends. Though he is younger than Weiss, he often dotes on her, making him more of an older-brother figure for the girl, and often comforts her when she is saddened or burdened by something.

Comically enough, Wizel is absolutely terrified of his eldest sister, Winter, due to unknown reasons. Weiss often uses this against him, such as waking him up or getting dressed for their lessons. Though he is terrified of her, likely due to her strict demeanor, he loves her all the same, mentioning that he misses her during a conversation with Weiss.

In spite of his lazy attitude, Wizel is actually very serious, and also a very just individual as well. He holds no respect for those who take advantage of others, thus holding a distaste for his parents company's labor laws on the Faunus, and despises those with no regard for human life. This makes him an ideal Kamen Rider; someone who upholds the ideals of justice.

History
Wizel is the youngest of three children, born a year after Weiss was. Due to his lack of talent during childhood, his father did not consider him to be an heir of the corporation, but seeing the boy's determination to look after his sister, he instead opted to make him into the girl's bodyguard, once he proved himself. When he was thirteen, Wizel started to show advanced control over his Semblance, matching even Winter, though his father still didn't think of him capable of leading the SDC, despite Wizel's apparent view towards the company.

Sometime during that time period, Wizel was approached by Mason Melnn, the current Kamen Rider Zangetsu. Wizel was confused by the man's appearance, and asked him what he wanted with him. Mason stated that he had been looking for the "successor to the master magus," though he had become lost in his search. WIzel asked about this "master magus," which Mason replied that he was a true master of the art of magic, and also the first Schnee. Wizel was surprised, as records regarding his family ancestry were scarce, especially during the years of the Great War. When WIzel asked who this successor was and why Mason was searching for him, Mason stated that the successor was the one who could answer the question, "what is magic?"

Mason, out of curiosity, asked Wizel if he knew the answer to this. Wizel answered that magic was not real, but rather a concept and idea; that it was the means by which all things could be achieved. If one required strength to achieve what they desired, then they need only to call upon that inner strength to obtain the power they required in order to obtain that which they seek. Mason, pleased by his answer, thanked him, and left. However, the next morning, Wizel discovered that a package had been delivered to him, but there was no return address. To his surprise, the package was a Rider System, as well as four colored magic rings. Along with it was a letter that read,

"You are the successor I have sought. What happens now is up to you."
