Snowfall

Winter Fall is the femslash ship between Winter Schnee and Cinder Fall from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
Winter and Cinder first officially meet in volume 7 chapter 12. She almost blasts Winter with a fireball before Winter quickly moves out of the way. They both immediately hold each other in low regard, with Cinder refering to both Winter and Penny as Ironwood's puppets. She then begins to fight Cinder after she refuses to step aside in the next episode.

During their fight Cinder begins a rant towards Winter saying "You atlas elite are all the same!". "You think hoarding power means you'll have it forever, but it just makes the rest of us hungrier". She then proceeds to kick Winter away and says "And I refuse to starve". Later during the fight outside Both Winter and Penny manage to knock Cinder off her game long enough to disorient her. Cinder then manages a strike at Winter that completely knocks her aura out and causes her to fall out of the sky.

Later when Cinder sees Penny with a dying fria she yells out "she's mine!" and tries to reach her with her shadow arm. This doesn't work as right when it's about to reach Penny, Winter appears and manages to slash it off. This causes Cinder a great deal of pain as the shadow arm regrows itself and she cries out in agony. She then takes out her anger and growing frustration out on Winter as she violently and ruthlessly fights her. At one point she manages to cut Winter's arm and exhausting her so much to the point where she eventually collapses on the floor completly overwhelmed by Cinder's malice and strength. Then when Cinder is about to kill Winter, Penny emerges as the new winter maiden. Cinder then flees once she sees Ruby Rose show up.
