Cardin Winchester (RWBY Chibi)

"Cinder: What are your qualifications? Cardin: Let's see... I'm always beating up Jaune and his loser friends at school. Cinder: Mm-hmm, okay, that's a good start. Cardin: Oh, I once put pepper in Professor Port's mustache. He was sneezing for a week! Cinder: Ooh, good one! I'll have to write that down! Cardin: I also never pet dogs. Not even really cute puppies. Cinder: Ignoring puppies is definitely evil."

- Cardin's interview with Cinder.

Cardin Winchester is a minor anti-villain from the American web cartoon RWBY, but also appears as a minor antagonist in the non-canon comedy spinoff series RWBY Chibi. Here, he is portrayed as more outright in his evil, even to the point of trying to team up with Cinder Fall.

He is voiced by Adam Ellis, who also voiced his canon counterpart.

Season 3
In the episode "Evil Interview", Cardin goes in to interview with Cinder Fall, hoping to join in with her evil faction. She asks him for his qualifications, and he happily tells her about how he repeatedly beats up Jaune Arc and his friends, put pepper in Professor Port's mustache causing him to sneeze for a week, and will never pet dogs, no matter how cute they are. Cinder is impressed by how "evil" he is, but admits that they do not have an opening available at the moment. Just then, Mercury Black barges in, angry that he does all the work and is not treated well. He demands a raise and a cool hat like Roman Torchwick's. Cinder, however, simply lights Mercury on fire and sends him falling through a trap door. Cinder then offers Mercury's position to Cardin, who witnessed the event and is now afraid. He cowardly gets up and tells Cinder he will get back to her before fleeing. Cinder wonders why she can never find good help, then realizes it is because she keeps melting them.

Appearance
Cardin's appearance is a cuter, more simplified ("Chibi") version of his canon appearance. He has short brown hair done up in a spike, pale skin, and purple eyes. He wears silver and gold armor consisting of boots, pants, and a chestplate with his emblem on it, with grey padding and a red cloth belt.

Personality
Though both versions of Cardin are sadists that like to cause pain to others, the Chibi version is more outright in his villainy. Even though his evil-doings would be seen as minor in most situations, Cinder and the Chibi universe see them as wicked actions. Cardin likes to be evil and mischievous, and will perform his evil-doings mostly for his own amusement. He is, however, cowardly, as he is afraid of being betrayed by Cinder and unable to go all the way with his evil commitment.

It is also assumed that, like his canon counterpart, he is abusive and xenophobic towards the Faunus.
