Caroline Cordovin

Caroline Cordovin is a character in RWBY. She first appeared in "Dead End" and acted as the main antagonist in the episodes "Stealing from the Elderly" to "Seeing Red." Cordovin is a short, elderly woman with short silver hair and brown eyes. She wears an Atlesian uniform with black gloves and a dark gray belt. Caroline is a prideful, condescending and arrogant woman who deeply venerates the Kingdom of Atlas. It is to the point where she overly exaggerates Atlas's greatness and denies any weaknesses that her Kingdom or James Ironwood has, thinking that Atlas could take on the world and win. She is shown to look down on non-Atlesians, having a low opinion of Argus' citizens and the rest of the world, who are becoming hostile towards Atlas due to the events of the 40th Vytal Festival. She takes her job extremely seriously, such as putting Maria Calavera on the additional screening list for life for bringing contraband one time. She is so strict and dead set on following Ironwood's order to close Atlas's borders that she blatantly refuses to listen to Ruby, only willing to allow Weiss Schnee to return home to her family if she goes alone. She also shows contempt towards Faunus when she looked at Blake Belladonna, indicating that she may be discriminatory towards Faunus. Caroline has been shown to be quite unstable and merciless when crossed, as she unleashed the might of an Atlesian Colossus in a display of power despite the risk that such a weapon could pose to Argus. However, despite her extremely nationalist and bitter attitude, she does have a sense of responsibility towards defending Argus, as she was able to put aside her anger and help Ruby's group kill the Leviathan, even allowing them to travel to Atlas afterwards on a "missing" Manta transport.
