[up][up][up]In all probability it'll be about the same thing if Ruby went there.

I always figured Yang was the result of an unplanned pregnancy, and Raven never intended to settle down with Taiyang. These things happen.
Literally what I though as well.

Personally, I felt that Taiyang had a brief fling (not so much a one-night stand but not really a relationship) and she got pregnant, and left him with baby Yang. Queue Summer being a Nice Girl and helping Taiyang, leading to an actual relationship.

OR she was a megabitch the whole time.
Also a possibility. However, I think it may not be the case because the picture of STRQ (also, why is it not QRTSnote  is beyond me) showed her smiling. If she was always a megabitch, why would she be happily smiling?

We've seen nothing like cursed swords. Adam having either a Semblance that specifically cuts through Aura, or one that makes his attacks strong enough to deplete it in one hit, are much more likely.

[up]This, thank you.

[up][up]STRQ, for "stark white", because apparently Summer was a better leader than the (hopefully future) alcoholic and Generation Xerox.

... Qrow straight up said "stark" when he showed the photo to Ruby and Yang.

Junior's mooks had red swords as well, so it might be a standard color .

Wait, I thought Taiyang and Raven were married. Did I just misremember?

#25985: Feb 10th 2016 at 7:59:19 PM

[up] That's inferred based on the fact that Yang has her father's surname whereas Ruby doesn't.

[up](x3)Aw dang it, you're right. But come on, red-badass swords sound awesome.

And nobody's seen Junior's mooks since Volume 2! They've joined Off-screen RWBY land.

Hihi'irogane, which is red, can conduct souls, emotions, and spiritual energy. Maybe Adam's sword is made of the stuff, and by channeling his Aura, hatred, and killing intent causes it to become an Absurdly Sharp Blade.

[up][up][up]Technically, it's up to the parents to decide their children's surnames. Taiyang could have decided that Ruby would be named after her mother instead of using his name.

Or Summer was like "Ruby Xiao Long sounds utterly stupid, you do realize that right?" [lol]

In any case, we don't know if Taiyang was married to Raven at all. Because with Summer after she disappeared Taiyang explained that Summer wasn't her mother, but step-mother. Which all-but-says that Taiyang and Summer were married.

As to why she's not "Summer Xiao Long", maybe women in Remnant keep their maiden names instead of taking their husband's name.

[down]The what?

Summer must come from the Stan Lee school of naming conventions.

CaptainCapsase from Orbiting Sagittarius A* Since: Jan, 2015
#25990: Feb 10th 2016 at 8:04:51 PM

[up][up] That could be the case, or maybe not. We lack the required information, and the default assumption based on their surnames would be that Taiyang was married to Raven and not married to Summer.

[up][up]Generally in the west, surnames are partilineal; there's no reason that has to be the case in Remnant, nor is it always the case in real life, but the only other siblings we know of (Qrow and Raven) both have the same surname, so I'm assuming the fact that Ruby got Summer's surname while Yang got Taiyangs is reflective of differing marital status between the parents of Ruby and Yang.

As for Raven being less than a stellar mom, maybe she's suffering from a postpartum depression.

[up] Yang certainly wants to believe her mother had a good reason for leaving. Which could be a problem if she's the Big Bad; I could totally see Yang being talked into a (temporary) Face–Heel Turn if Raven's the one behind it all, especially if the Brotherhood is forced to do some unsavory things in the name of victory against Cinder and co.

I seem to be the only one here who is focusing more on Yang and Blake's fate in the trailer than the current conversation. Maybe it's good we've moved on from speculating what will happen.

I had thought that Raven married Taiyang, left just after Yang was born. Taiyang was left alone to raise his daughter, but Qrow pitched in and Taiyang started seeing Summer. Eventually, marriage and Ruby happened.

In my theory, Raven is a harsher version of Yang.

I meant, So far both Qrow and Winter act pretty similar to Ruby and Weiss: Qrow have issue with people and seen to be somewhat of a loner while Winter is perfecionist and strict like her sister, but even them this is express in a diferent way, while Ruby is awkard and having problem expresing herself while Qrow is....a dick and Weiss is just a little strict more than anything else.

So, if this theory is true, you just have to use Yang traits and aplies to her mother in someway, I belive yang get her overprotective nature from Taiyang so Raven clearly have the blood knight thing going on.

Or so far, that is my theory.

Hmmm..... Good theory. I can see Yang getting her Blood Knight traits from her mother.

However, we still don't know much about Taiyang's personality aside from the fact that we know Ruby most likely gets her quirkiness from him. Who knows, Taiyang could be a Cloudcuckoolander Blood Knight [lol]

I hope he's like Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 2 - silly, fun, a little lechrous, but very noble and completely deadly.
