The power of the Silver Eyes can do more than just kill Grimm. They allow one access to a sliver of the divine magic of the God of Light, which grants a plethora of powers that all pertain to creation itself. Such abilities would include Revelation (seeing the thoughts and emotions of others, piercing through illusions, seeing through solid objects, allowing remote viewing, etc.), Construction (Crafting actual solid objects out of light itself), Restoration (healing others, undoing damage done to objects, etc.), Alteration (changing the structure of objects, changing people into animals or other materials, etc.), Protection (forming barriers or wardings), Dominion (controlling objects telekinetically, performing a JediMindTrick on others, etc.). Ruby will be first to discover theses aspects of the Silver Eye magic in all of Remnants history because other Silver Eyed Warriors have been hunted down and killed, preventing them form doing so.

[[WMG: Ruby will supplant Ozpin as the leader of the heroes]]
Everyone has been thoroughly disillusioned with Ozpin's methods but through it all Ruby has been the one to inspire the heroes to keep moving forward at their lowest point. Qrow seems to have already chosen following Ruby, Ironwood will likely be the same way, and Ozpin upon his return will concede that Ruby is better suited for the role than he is, pledging his knowledge and guidance to her. For bonus points Ruby will freak out a bit about the being the one all of these elder huntsmen are looking to for direction.

[[WMG: Ruby's actual Semblance isn't speed, it's literally "[[ArcWords moving forward]]"]]
Most of the time when using her Semblance, Ruby doesn't run, glide or levitate, she literally moves headfirst in the direction she chooses, overcoming gravity and maneuvering around obstacles. Fitting for someone who, across the entire series, is continuously moving forward (training to be a better Huntress, following the lead on villains, getting the Relic to safety etc) along the path she chose, even though the final goal is unclear, overcoming her losses, failings and fears that weigh her down. The Semblance also evolves in parallel to how Ruby grows as a person: she gains more control over it as she becomes less reckless, gets the ability to carry other people (thus making them move too) after becoming the true leader, and it grows in power as she gets more and more determined to keep moving forward in spite of the overwhelming odds.

Alternately (again!) they end up all Maidens but in regards to who they are closest to; the Maiden power transfers to someone suitable, with a focus on it being whoever is last on their mind when they die. Taking the "last person in your thoughts" idea to the fullest, you get this set up:

* Ruby ends up with Fall as Cinder is ''obsessed'' at this point with taking her down. It's likely that no matter what her death will have Ruby as the last person in her thoughts. Fall is connected to the "Choice" Relic, which does seem to fit her to some degree; her choices have had major impacts on the plot. Choosing to fight against a robbery lands her in Beacon, choosing to head off to Mistral sets in motion Vol 4 for RRNJ, choosing to ask Jinn a certain question...as the protagonist, her '''choices''' are the most important of all.
* Yang ends up with Spring [[spoiler: as her mother is the current Spring Maiden and she doesn't have many bonds left and Yang is the only one suitable left that she could think of when she dies.]] Knowledge is what she applies and uses in her own CharacterDevelopment, including using it to [[spoiler: defeat Raven by convincing her to hand the Relic of Knowledge to her at the end of Vol 5.]]
* Weiss still makes sense to gain the Winter Maiden powers, partially because of the likelihood she has some connection to the current one, whether or not she turns out to be her sister. Another reason is that she will be chosen similar to how Pyrrha originally was to take up the position of Fall Maiden due to some incident or another. Creation is a major theme in her family; her grandfather created the company, her father created the current selfish and greedy version, and the Schnee Semblance is about ''creating'' summons of the enemies they have taken down.
* Blake thus gets Summer. There is no particular bond left in that regard but Vacuo is said to be very tolerant of Faunus compared to the other kingdoms and she does know someone originally from Vacuo ie Sun. So it's a tentative connection, but it's there. Destruction is a major theme in her backstory; the destruction caused by the White Fang, the destruction of her relationship with Adam as it got increasing abusive, her own self-sabotage of her own relationships. And the more positive destruction of the White Fang so as to clear the way for something new.

[[WMG:Pyrrha's circlet is the [[spoiler:Relic of Choice.]]]]
[[spoiler: We don't know how Ozpin learned the Relics attract Grimm, but it's possible he figured out how to alter them to be untrackable. Once he rigged the Choice Relic, he cast it out somewhere into the world, hidden in plain sight. From there, it changed hands until it was claimed by Pyrrha. Pyrrha's best known for her choices - taking destiny into her own hands. In V6, the means Ozma was finally killed is the same as how Pyrrha was killed. In V5, Ozpin says that the Beacon Relic is well hidden, but doesn't elaborate - since he doesn't know where to find the Relic. In V4, the blacksmith that upgraded Jaune's gear commented on the quality of the metal he provided, that metal being the circlet. In V3, Pyrrha's circlet survived, despite that attack being magic. It explains Ruby hearing Pyrrha in her dreams, as her powers and the Relics come from the Brother of Light, and Pyrrha likely had the Relic for years. And since Ozpin honestly answered Ruby's question, Jinn would have no reason to reveal anything. With the show going to Atlas, where the Creation Relic is, one can only guess what happens when three Relics are assembled.]]

She's the right age and gender to become a Maiden and Raven has quite a few death flags floating around her already, having lost her tribe, her brother, and her child and having a literary [[Literature/Mabinogion inspiration]] who was DrivenToSuicide under similar circumstances. Yang is the one most likely to be in Raven's final thoughts. Yang has already been set up as a foil to Raven who stood her ground when Raven ran away, using the Spring Maiden powers for good rather than trying to hide them seems like the next logical step for her.

If it hasn't come up by now then it probably never will, but think about it for a moment: Being grabbed by Banesaw, the infamous pillar foul-up with Vernal... Weiss seems to have issues with judging distances and guarding against certain attacks. It would also partly explain her complex when she first arrived at Beacon: she felt she had a lot to prove.

[[WMG: Pyrrha's and Penny will reappear as a fused entity]]
Pyrrha blasted Penny with a huge wave of magnetic energy just before the RobotGirl was destroyed. This ''may'' have caused Pyrrha's Aura to become fused with Penny's, perhaps overtaking hers. Combined with briefly touching the Fall Maiden's power through Amber, this may allow Pyrrha's Aura to remain in the physical world. However, that Aura is now commanded by Penny's mind, albeit, whatever mind that remained after the software was scrambled by the magna-wave. The result won't be either Pyrrha or Penny, but a fusion of both. Whose name will start with P.

[[WMG: Ruby will [[LegacyCharacter succeed Maria as the new Grimm Reaper]]]]
Either with time, or by saving a lot of people from Grimm (possibly the whole city of Argus/Mantle/Atlas through the use of Silver Eyes) at once. Someone will notice the similarities in outfit and weapon design between the young Huntress and the legendary heroine, and the legend will be reborn. Although people will realize that Ruby is too young to be the same Grimm Reaper, so she will be called New Grimm Reaper or Red Reaper.

[[WMG: Jaune is a descendant of Ozma and Salem.]]
We never get confirmation that their daughters were killed (its only suggested), and considering the similar blue eyes and blonde hair some of them are shown to have, perhaps at least one of them survived, and had a family of her own. It could offer an additional explanation as to Jaune's exceptionally large Aura, and why Tyrian took note of him.

[[WMG: Ruby will be killed by Salem]]
[[spoiler: Just as the Gods of Light and Dark are summoned. Oscar will plead with them bring Ruby back, seemingly repeating the same mistake as Salem. But when they refuse he instead offers to trade his life for hers, which starts prompting all the members of their group to start offering their lives to bring her back. This will be what makes the Gods judge humanity was worthy and as a reward to Oz for his millennia of efforts they will bring her back.]]

[[WMG: Ruby will become a goddess]]
[[spoiler: When the Brother Gods are summoned they will initially talk as though humanity is beyond salvation. Ruby will speak up, pointing out how HumansAreFlawed but still worth saving for still being around despite Salem's best efforts and also call the Brothers out on how they aren't perfect beings either. The Brothers will look into Ruby's soul and see the purity of her soul despite the darkness she's had to suffer. They will conclude that they can't judge humanity because while their hand created humans they were not of humanity and decide to put the power in Ruby's hands, ascending her to divinity to pass judgement.]]
* Alternatively the above plays out but [[spoiler: Ruby was killed by Salem so the Brothers speak with her soul directly and resurrect her as a goddess.]]
* Becoming a goddess will allow Ruby to end Salem and her work for good but it will lead to a BittersweetEnding because she can't destroy the Grimm AsLongAsThereIsEvil but does create a plan to give humanity a fighting chance. She'll become one with Remnant and use her power to create crystal structures that create creatures that can help fight against the Grimm. Before doing so she'll have one last family meal with everyone and say what seems like a goodbye before saying it will be more like she's going to sleep and that when she wakes up it will be to "a world worth saving".

[[WMG: If Ruby does have to make a HeroicSacrifice]]
She'll say her goodbyes to everyone in a heartwrenching scene and her last act will be to [[BiTheWay kiss both Weiss and Oscar on the cheek]].

[[WMG:Jaune will develop a new fighting style.]]
So far we've only seen Jaune willingly use his Semblence on other people. however, we do know that it can be applied to himself based on his previous instances of rapid recovery. And while Jaune is no slouch in a fight, it's very obvious that he doesn't have the same insane athleticism of the other students, and things are only going to get more dangerous as the story continues. If he trains his Semblence, though, I could see him overcoming this, using his SuperEmpowering on himself to become a full-blown LightningBruiser. Just imagine the weight of his combined sword with actual speed and force behind it.

Sinkhole; it's not a trope for people who are raised by their biological father and stepmother.


Strength and loyalty are the two traits that Yang holds most dear, and on the surface, they give her and her mother common ground. However, in Raven Branwen, the virtues are twisted into vices; [[TheSocialDarwinist Merciless Darwinism]], and devotion to people who don't deserve it. Realizing that Raven is not someone Yang can like, let alone look up to, she cuts ties with her. When Raven demands that she is due Yang's unquestioned loyalty as her mother, Yang coldly answers, "I already had a mother. [[HappilyAdopted Her name was Summer Rose]]."

Sounds a little far-fetched, I know, but it's just a weird feeling I'm getting. Think about it: she wasn't seen during the launching scene, she has YellowEyesOfSneakiness, and she's very cat-like.
