So, I'm stockpiling a list of RWBY fans may or may not know. Let's kick this off!

1. RWBY is not an anime.
Contrary to popular belief amongst fans, RWBY is not an anime, nor is it an 'American Made Anime.' This has even been confirmed by the late creator of RWBY, Monty Oum. When he was alive, Month said in a podcast the RWBY could not be an anime because anime are 2D images on a 2D background, while RWBY consists of 3D character models on a 2D background. (It could be the other way around.)

2. Who is Ren's new voice actor?
As most fans of RWBY know, the creator of the popular web series has passed away due to a allergic reaction. Monty not only helped with forming RWBY and its plot, but he also voiced on of the main-ish characters in the show, Lie Ren. So, who is Ren's new voice actor? Monty Oum's brother, Neath Oum.

3. Weiss Schnee translation?
Weiss Schnee is corrupt German for "Snow White."

4. RWBY Names = Colors
All names in RWBY, including team names, are based off of colors and the character's color scheme is based off of the color they are based upon. Most are obvious (i.e., Ruby- as in a ruby- or Jaune- which is yellow in French), but some are a bit obscure. Penny's name refers to the color of oxidized copper, and Yang's name means sun.

5. Roman wasn't supposed to be a big character.
When asked about Roman's character in a podcast, Monty said that he was only supposed to show up in the first episode and not be a big character in the series. However, the staff liked Roman a lot so they kept him around a while longer than planned.

6. Many of the characters' designs are based off of fairy tails or mythology.
Everyone probably knows this all ready, when it's mainly referred to team RWBY, however, some people may say that Cinder may be based off of Cinderella or Roman based off of Candlewick/Lampwick from Pinocchio.

As most fans who have finished volume 3 (in RWBY, seasons are counted by volumes. Just saying), teams RWBY and JNPR have spilt apart. Yang is recovering, Blake disappeared, and Weiss is going back to Atlas with her father. On team JNPR's end, Pyhrra was killed by Cinder. Now, Ruby, Jaune, Nora, and Ren are going to Haven to get to the root of the problem. Many people believe that the creators will come up with a team name for them such as RNJR (Ranger), JNRR (Junior), RRNJ (Orange), or other similar names.
