- Ozpin/Cinder went as I expected - a mere glimpse of Ozpin's power before he goes MIA. I doubt he went all-out against Cinder.
- Salem clearly acts like Ozpin is alive. When she turns to face the camera, I expected the camera to pan away to reveal she's actually talking to Ozpin.
- The red-eyed raven watching the Qrow/Winter fight made me suspicious it was Raven (either transformed or hitching a mental ride like Granny Weatherwax in the Discworld), so Qrow's transformation makes me think it really was Raven. The transformation also adds to my theory that Qrow and Raven are the Huginn and Muninn to Ozpin's Odin.
- I Knew It! - always believed the Female Narrator would be the main villain, and the Queen. I expected the Witch to Ozpin's Wizard, and Snow Queen attributes, and the half-human, half-Grimm look doesn't surprise me either. Didn't expect her to look so much like the original Winter Maiden, however.
- Volume 3 occurred in autumn and revealed the Fall Maiden. Volume 4 looks set to occur in winter, so I'm guessing we'll get more information on the Winter Maiden next year.
- If Ozpin is in the shadows (rather than captured by Salem), his main contact is probably Raven, who's probably close to Salem. I suspect Qrow doesn't know the extent of Raven's role for Ozpin.
- Salem's hatred of Ozpin is personal. I guess he's probably responsible for whatever her state of being is. She sounds like a bitter ex-wife though.
- Her desire to destroy humanity seems to be more about hurting Ozpin than humanity itself. Is Ozpin some kind of Guardian of Humanity/Remnant? She's acting like he is.
- Salem indicates Ozpin's spent the first couple of volumes desperately trying to avoid turning his "small, honest soul" (probably Ruby) into a weapon.
- Ozpin's response to Ironwood was that he didn't want his kids to ever fight a war.
- Salem seems determined to force Ozpin to weaponise his "small, honest soul".
- So, Ruby is the weapon both Remnant and Salem need.
- Ironwood created Penny in an attempt to try and protect Ruby from being weaponised... he may not fully realise this, however.
- Ironwood and Ozpin have ultimately been arguing over how best to protect Ruby from Salem... again, Ironwood may not yet know this.
- Ozpin will only be killed off after Ruby's been weaponised.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.Phyrra once asked the question... "Does She have what it takes to be a huntress"
A hunter's task is to stand and fight and if need be... sacrifice themselves for others.
The fact she gave Cinder trouble -again I like that the maiden's aren't just instantly another level ****-
We don't know how Cinder verse Ozpin played out -seeing that Cinder looked like she needed the Maiden powers just to be threat to him ... I'd almost think Salem had to get involved-
Ironically... if Phyrra didn't stand in a fight, Ruby wouldn't have had the trauma to Freeze Grimwing and then we'd have mobile Grim spawn point running around under Cinder's direct control.
Praise be to the absolute Queen@Ninety Sign up here in the club "Fuck Cinder. Stay Frozen Bitch". We have Free drinks
Seriously, who is going to write her Base Breaker entry without insulting her? I'm sadly not up to the task

Uni catIt'll be okay... She'll get her break the haughty moment... either when Salem pulls a you have outlived your usefulness or She finds herself on the receiving end of a Ruby led team beat down!

Praise be to the absolute QueenSo basically pull an Abridged Frieza and punch her repeatedly in the back, possibly breaking her spine as you keep saying "stop hitting yourself," only to answer the inevitable question with "but Cinder...you brought this on yourself...".
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!If Salem happens to be the Original Winter maiden, does that mean she is undead? It isn't a stretch as she doesn't look human anymore.
Uni catYou are really playing the Weakened from fighting Ozpin card you know that... even though Cinder doesn't show or tell any such attribute
Praise be to the absolute QueenThe only problem with all of the on-screen deaths so far is: Penny's a gynoid, Torchwick's survivor, and people normally don't turn into clouds of dust when they- Oh, god. Is THAT what Dust is made out of?
@faso: Idk lol.
Also, while most people seem to assume Ruby's power is separate from that of the maidens, I wouldn't rule it out, largely because it's possible the different maidens have different rules for inheritance in addition to the main one, Qrow said something along those lines.
Though I'm skeptical given Qrow told her a completely different legend from the tale of the seasons.

Honestly, given "dust to dust", it's crossed my mind. If the show was dark enough, it could go there.
Think of it as a type of fossil fuel.

For as long as we have RNJR (Ranger as in Ranger Green and the favorite name
for the ad-hoc consolidation of RWBY and JNPR) around, probably The Lancer to Ruby. Whether that will lead to Lancaster happening, idk, but given it would be a dead ringer for the relationship between Summer and Taiyang, I wouldn't rule it out.
