Kara Eberle (born July 4, 1989) is a voice actress and actress. She voiced Weiss Schnee in the original anime-style CG-animated web series, RWBY[1][2] a series created by Rooster Teeth.
Early life
Eberle was born in San Marcos, Texas on July 4, 1989.[3] She began working in the animation industry in 2011 and met Monty Oum, with both becoming close friends, and Oum inviting her to voice a character in RWBY.[4][5] Before working on RWBY, she worked as a receptionist, office manager, make-up artist, and set designer for podcasts, in the live-action department of Rooster Teeth.[3][6] Eberle later said that at the time she got the role of Weiss, she was studying the Grimm Brothers during one of her college classes, Oum told her that she envisioned her as a princess named Weiss Schnee, or "Snow White" in German, and because she was half-German, she "had a bit a freakout" at the time.[7]
In 2015, she stopped working in the Rooster Teeth office after "almost 4 years", but said she was still "part of the RT family, community, and Team RWBY."[8] Eberle also studied Communications and Mass Media at Texas State University.[6]
Career
RWBY
In 2013, Eberle began voicing Weiss Schnee in RWBY.[9][10] In August 2014, in an interview with Collider, she talked about what fans could expect in the show's second season, her character, and voiced her support for the ship of Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, known as "Bumbleby", as did Arryn Zech. The ship would become canon in the show's ninth season, when both characters kissed on screen.
Eberle voiced Weiss in various video games such as RWBY: Grimm Eclipse in 2015,[4][11] BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle in 2018,[12] Smite: Battleground of the Gods in 2019,[13] and RWBY: Arrowfell in 2022.[14] She would also reprise the voice in RWBY Chibi.[15] In an message at the end of RWBY: Official Manga Anthology Volume 2, which released in 2017, Eberle expressed her appreciation for the storytellers and artists which contributed to the volume, which centered on Weiss, and thanked readers for their "loyal support" and told people to "always use proper form."
In 2019, Eberle participated in session on the Rooster Teeth official website, in which fans of RWBY asked her questions about Weiss.[16] It was later said that her voice acting as Weiss was "one of her biggest achievements".[6] She would also explain, in an official companion book to the series, which released in 2019, that her favorite Weiss moment was when she stands up to her father in Volume 4, and argued that Weiss's ponytail being a bit off center is her "way of rebelling".[17]
In 2022, Eberle voiced the English dubbed version of Weiss in the RWBY: Ice Queendom,[18][19][20] an anime based on the original RWBY series, which focused primarily on Weiss's character, worldview, and her inner psyche in a dream world.[21][22][23] Weiss is also known as "Ice Queen" due to her social coldness shown at the series beginning.[24][25] Eberle was described as giving a "new take on her character" in the English dub, saying it is different than the portrayal by Japanese actress Yoko Hikasa,[26] who voiced three versions of Weiss in the series.[27]
In 2023, Eberle voiced Weiss once more, in the Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part One crossover film.[28][29] The film premiered at WonderCon 2023 on March 25.[30] She also voiced Weiss in Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part Two.[31]
Other work
Eberle has also appeared in Rooster Teeth animated shorts.[32] After leaving Rooster Teeth, Eberle worked at Powerhouse Animation Studios, which is based in Austin, Texas,[4][3] as an executive assistant, working to coordinate projects and streamline production.[6][8][33] She also voiced the character Robin in the six-minute animated short, "LEGO Batman vs. Superman 2: Dawn of Just Desserts" in January 2015.[34][35]
Eberle has often appeared at conventions. Many of these conventions were about RWBY. For instance, she drove Oum to an anime convention in Dallas in 2013 and they saw a Ruby cosplayer together, who was unaware she was talking to Oum.[36] She also appeared at New York Comic Con in 2017, 2018, and 2019, stating that 2019 was her first time she had been to New York City, and that she had been at the convention "three times".[13][37] She also appeared at RTX in 2011,[38] 2016[39] and 2018,[40][41] and RTX at Home in 2021[42] and 2020.[43][44] She also attended Otakucon in 2017 as a "guest of honour",[45] FanX in September 2018,[46] Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo in 2020.[47]
