Neo isn't a human with an illusionist semblance, but a chameleon Faunus with an illusionist semblance (her Faunus trait is actually a forked tongue). Fox is changed from a human to a fox Faunus who also just happens to be named "Fox". Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Weiss and Whitley have been turned into twins. Her name is written last name first instead of Western-style, making her "Xiao Long Yang" instead of "Yang Xiao Long". This was changed in order to fix the Fridge Logic in how no one knows who Blake's parents are, despite their importance. "Belladonna" is made-up (or, more specifically, it comes from her alias as "The Belladonna"). Adaptational Job Change: Keeping with Sun being introduced as a stowaway in Volume 1, Sun and Neptune are travelers rather than students at Haven. She also vented out much of her anger on Faunus instead of directing them at her parents. She was taught by her father that they were beneath humans. Weiss' racism towards Faunus is ramped up. She's also much meaner, which includes moments such as punching, and threatening Yang in the initiation due to not wanting to be her partner. Blake starts off as a much darker character with a vivid hatred of Weiss. He lacks the initial calmness of his canonical counterpart. Adam's depicted as abusive and cruel from the start. Winter is noticeably less strict with Weiss than her canon counterpart. Whitley is more kind and sympathetic towards Weiss than he is in canon. After being dragged back home by their father, Weiss notices that Whitley has transitioned into living as a boy. RWBY Scars turns Weiss' younger brother Whitley into her twin sister Whitley. He cut off his ponytail, stole his grandfather's sword, and ran off without telling his family. Jaune in canon is a cis boy, but he's a transgender boy in RWBY Scars, which adds onto his Joan D Archetype inspirations. In the rewrite RWBY Scars, Ruby is a trans girl who lived as a boy named "Crimson" for the first twelve years of her life. The characters are also given slightly clearer defined ethnicities than in the Mukokuseki show due to more emphasis on Fantasy Counterpart Culture, so three out of four members of RWBY are at minimum half-Asian coded. The titular team alone has been changed: Ruby is a female-attracted asexual trans girl (as opposed to a presumably cisgender Celibate Hero), Weiss is lesbian and mentally ill (instead of male-attracted and not mentally ill), Blake is noted as bisexual early on, and Yang is explicitly bisexual from the start. Adaptational Diversity: RWBY Scars features more queer and disabled characters than in canon. Neo and her father Roman both have Dark And Troubled Pasts which still trouble them. Pyrrha later gets much more angsty after Jaune's death. In canon, there's nothing to imply she has a bad home life. Thought she doesn't reflect on it much, Pyrrha is given a troubled childhood due to her mother's emotional abuse. Nora poking him in the nose is a comfort tactic, rather than Nora just being annoyingly playful. He suffers from nightmares and starts hyperventilating the first time he sees a student mawled by a Grimm. 
In general, Weiss is a lot more troubled than in canon due to her Dark and Troubled Past and poor mental health. This contrasts with the much more lighthearted portrayal in the episode.
Weiss has a breakdown in the fourth chapter after realizing how close she was to being eaten alive by a Beowolf. Accidental Misnaming: In the second chapter, Yang accidentally refers to Jaune as "John". Their mother isn't much better, but she's more-so emotionally neglectful. One day they ran away from home and that's how they met Junior. Miltia mentions to Yang that she and her sister Melanie had a physically abusive father. Mercury's father was a physically abusive alcoholic. Pyrrha became a huntress to avoid her mother. Pyrrha has a Sports Mom who forces her to exceed athletically because she's trying to live through Pyrrha. 
Weiss' father is physically and emotionally abusive, while her mother is a neglectful Alcoholic Parent.
