The way that each Schnee family member responds to trauma perfectly illustrates the four main types: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Fight:

Weiss’s response has always been to fight. Those who are stuck in a constantly activated “fight” response to trauma tend to act entitled, angry, and contemptuous, which is what Weiss was like at the beginning of Volume One. “Fight” types typically see themselves as perfect and morally superior to others as a defense mechanism against abandonment, which, unfortunately, tends to perpetuate their loneliness. As Weiss grows and begins to heal from her trauma through healthy relationships, she is able to use her “fight” response in healthier ways. For example, instead of completely removing herself from the family, she intends to reclaim the family name and restore its honor, which is a great goal to have and one that gives her purpose. As Blake has said, the word that best describes Weiss is “defiance”.

Flight:

Winter’s response to trauma was flight. Her goal was to get away from Jacques Schnee as quickly as possible, and her chosen escape route was the Atlas military. “Flight” types tend to have obsessive-compulsive tendencies, believing that order and perfection will keep them safe. They lose themselves by constantly being busy so that they do not have to present with their emotions, which they don’t know how to deal with. Winter still seems to struggle with actually confronting her feelings, but as she works through her trauma, we begin to see a healthy manifestation of her “flight” response: she has gained the distance needed to create her own destiny.

Freeze:

Willow Schnee, knowing that there is no escape from her husband and that resistance is futile, did the only thing she knew she could do: she froze. “Freeze” types tend to withdraw into themselves and dissociate as much as possible in order to numb the pain. This is learned helplessness. They self isolate, avoiding others and using whatever method of distraction best distances them from reality. In Willow’s case, she uses alcohol. While Willow is still stuck in her “freeze” state, we see one positive way she has used it: she has been able to gain an advantage over Jacques Schnee by placing cameras all over the estate. Only someone like Willow, who presents as helpless and detached, would be able to get away with such a thing without being caught.

Fawn:

Finally, we have Whitley Schnee. Unlike his sisters, he doesn’t have the Schnee family semblance or the talent that would have allowed him to join the military or enroll in an academy. As the last of the children, he must be aware that his father is going to hold on to him tightly and not let him get away like the other two. So what does he do? He “fawns”. “Fawn” types seek safety by forfeiting all of their needs, preferences, and boundaries in order to become exactly what the abuser wants them to be. They essentially try to do damage control by complying with the demands of others and by trying to be as agreeable as possible. These are the codependent types. Whitley, knowing he was left alone by his sisters and cannot depend on his detached mother, must do everything in his power to get along with Jacques Schnee so that he can survive. That’s where he still is, and we have yet to see how he progresses.

I always thought Tyrian was The Scorpion who could control his nature.

Do you think Tyrian might try and make Mercury see things his way?

Hello anons!

These asks can be answered together!

To the first anon, ooooh, interesting take! Do you mind to elaborate?

Anyway, as for me, I do not think he can actually control his nature. Tbh... I would not be surprised if in the end his nature were to lead him to his death.

As for now, I would rather say that he is the Scorpion who has embraced his nature:

Tyrian: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. I want to tell you both a little secret. Your question is all wrong. "What do you want from this?" Children, please, if you're not loving what you're doing, then you're in the wrong field.

Tyrian: Do what makes you happy children... please? I'm begging you...

He does what makes him happy aka killing and hurting others. He has accepted who he is, so he does not really try to change or to become someone else.

I think this reading also fits with him foiling both Qrow and Mercury aka two characters who have trouble accepting who they are.

On one hand Qrow sees himself only as a bad omen. He thinks it is his own nature and misses how much he means for his loved ones.

On the other hand Mercury claims he is embracing his own nature:

Mercury: All my life, my father trained me to be a killer, an assassin like him. And then moments after I killed him, you two showed up looking for someone with my exact skills. Just felt like it was meant to be.

But he is actually negating his personhood:

Tyrian: All you ever learned was pain and violence, and now you're too afraid to leave it. Such a tragedy.

Which leads us to the second anon’s question.

Honestly it is too soon to say.

As for now, there has actually been an interesting dynamic between Tyrian and Mercury. To be more specific, Tyrian has actually said out loud things Mercury has been negating/repressing.

Mercury wants to see himself as a big bad man, but Tyrian strips him of this coping mechanism and states Mercury is just a victim and a scared child.

Mercury does not want to deal with the Salem destroying the world, but Tyrian appears and makes this truth impossible to escape.

At the same time, Tyrian’s body language in both occasions has been controlling and threathening. He tells Mercury the truth, but also traps him in fear more and more.

In short, their interactions are good because Tyrian’s body language negates the effect his words could have.

All in all, it seems to me as a jungian dynamic...Tyrian is acting as Mercury’s shadow in multiple ways. He is giving voice to truths Mercury deep down knows, but does not accept. At the same time, he is taking control of Mercury (he literally drags him away in War).

Until Mercury is trapped in his fear he will be Tyrian’s prisoner as well.

So, I do not know if Tyrian will consciously try to influence/groom Mercury. He seems more than anything having fun tormenting him tbh. However, it is possible Mercury will try to act more like him as a coping mechanism. After all, it is the same thing he has done with Marcus. Mercury deep down despises his father, but he is still doing what his father would have wanted him to do. At the same time, the juxtaposition with Tyrian might lead Mercury to finally accept he can’t be like him or his father, no matter how much he tries.

Anyway, it is too soon to say, there are many possibilities.

Thank you for the ask!

And now because I love them
