@Pyrrha Plushie/Action Figure
: I believe that you can get Pyrrha figures from the Roosterteeth Store. Dunno about the plushie, but there are definitely ones of Team RWBY available.
I dont want to sound bad here...but there is more posibilities of Roman returing as grimm than Phyrra, as she was turn to Cinder in the end.
And taking about Cinder....her and Salem sympathy depend pretty much of Ozpin dark past, since both of their story are conected to him in some way.....
Cinder is salem and Ozpin daughter
just saying....
Before, only Qrow is grimmsexual, you know?
Also, Cinder is based on Cinderella, right? well depend of how much they adapt that can give us some idea of her backstory, in this case Salem would be the fairy in the story, but the others?
Also if Cinder would be sacrifice for Salem plan, it would be a very ironic death since her entire song is about not being a pawn of Ozpin and cia.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"
I do wonder if there is a dark interpretation of her Cinderella motif.
Maybe she was heavily abused by her stepmother and sisters. So Salem appeared to her, offered the power she needed and murdered those bitches
That would be most likely backstory if they want her to be sympathetic. And you do have to wonder where did she get her Huntress training (i doubt her time in Haven/Beacon counts)

Uni catagain, it depend of how much they adapt her backstory, in this case her being a princess would be being a huntress, her father is dead(because mercury aside, dead parents usually grant you some points in sympathy) she was rejected or have a "fall from grace" as her song said, maybe Ozpin is the prince in this story?
also the lyrics of her song: http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Sacrifice
After thinking some more I don't think they'll ever be totally sympathetic. Because there are other characters that went through similar experiences and they didn't decide to ruin humanity because of it.
Mercury's dad was abusive to him. So was Weiss's. Is she a murderer that gets off on other's misery. No.
Emerald lived on the streets with no apparant family and no one to care for her. So did Ren and Nora. She had to learn to to be rough to survive. So did Blake.
And if Cinder's backstory is that she was looked down upon and wanted to be strong and respected. Well so does Jaune. And he's not a murderous psycho because of it.
There's really no excuse for being so sociopathic and dismissive to your fellow man that you actively want to bring Grimm in to slaughter the townsfolk, destroy a kingdom and ruin the only stability the world has had in a long time. Which is basically what Cinder and Mercury (especially him given that he walked up to young girl who just watched her friend die and laughed at her) are. Emerald at least started to feel bad about it.
So yeah, I don't think any amount of sob story will ever make Cinder look sympathetic.

It doesn't take sociopathy, or any mental disorder really to make someone treat their fellow man with incredible callousness. History is absolutely littered with atrocities, many of which were carried out in retaliation against previous atrocities.

Yes, there are some cultural stories where the Cinderella figure begins as the sympathetic victim of the evil step-mother and step-sisters, who gets to marry the prince and choose the punishment inflicted on her wicked step-family... but the power over the life or death of that family becomes a turning point for the Cinderella figure, and she ends up becoming a worse villain than her step-family ever were.
I think one of the examples is a Filipino version of the tale, but I could be wrong on the culture there. I definitely remember reading evil versions of the Cinderella story, however, and it always begins with Cinderella in the abused, protagonist position who comes into power in an innocent, natural way, but the power twists them into something evil.
However, just as Team JNPR were the gender-bent versions of their originals (originals who did spend time disguised as the opposite gender), it could be that the villains are going to be the alignment opposites of their sources of inspiration - so Cinderella is evil, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast is good-turned-evil instead of evil-turned-good... that could easily make Salem the evil version of Cinderella's fairy godmother, and suitable "good" queenly figures in the Wizard of Oz that can be given an evil makeover do include Princess Ozma... and, in fact, Dorothy herself.
Dorothy would be a great inspiration here given that she was manipulated by the Wizard in the novels, even though the Wizard is technically classified as a good guy there is a reason why revisionist stories exist out there that make him the villain and the Wicked Witch the "misunderstood protagonist" (that includes what he did to Princess Ozma when she was an infant). Salem's rant towards Ozpin does smack of someone who feels like Ozpin built up hope in her - a hope that was eventually crushed, leaving her the bitter, twisted villainess she now is.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of the Dorothy figure being a villain in this show rather than a protagonist.

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."Mercury's dad was abusive to him. So was Weiss's. Is she a murderer that gets off on other's misery. No."
That is waaaa diferent, for what it seen Marcu was violent with his son, Weiss seen more controling that anything else and even then is clear Wess is having trouble to confront him about her own life.
"Emerald lived on the streets with no apparant family and no one to care for her. So did Ren and Nora. She had to learn to to be rough to survive. So did Weiss."
Emerald have to relie on her own and she was quite force into the job, Nora have Ren and Weiss is rich and suffering for a very diferent way.
"And if Cinder's backstory is that she was looked down upon and wanted to be strong and respected. Well so does Jaune. And he's not a murderous psycho because of it."
Because he have friend to relie upon and in the end it serve of nothing because her friend die to protect beacon while he just watch.
so the idea of "this chararter is not asshole, so there is not reason" that is not how it work, they are villian but not supervillians.
Again depend of how they portray Ozpin that cinder would be sympathic or not.
So, what figure Emerald is adapting? I mean so far we have: Alex Delarge=Roman, the beast=Adam,Cinderella=Cinder,Wiked witch of the east=Salem,Mercury=Hermes(I think),Emerald or Neo.....dunno.

Salem was the original Dorothy. Ruby is the newly aquired replacement...
Oh... How long has Ozpin been recruiting Dorothies?
And then it happens. When we least expect it.

Pyrrha comes back... As Revenant Pyrrha. (Yellow eyes, pale skin, yellow veins throughout her body, and her outfit is now a super dark edgy medieval armour ensemble). Well, that or Noob Saibot ("Selim Yrrek").
Penny meanwhile, comes back as Street Fighter V Nash.
A corpse should be left well enough alone...
But Phyrra is experienced. the very opposite of a noob
(Yes I know the Backwards Name thing for that charatcer)
