There is still hope there, in the form of a small Corgi. Killing it might release a powerful curse upon remnant...

One can like the way the story is going and how Pyrra's death was handled but still wish she hadn't died.
I mean, there never was a more pleasant person to ever meet. She was only 17, just a kid. She was younger than me. Her biggest worries should have been getting good grades and wondering if that last Oreo was one too many before bed time. Her biggest aspiration was just getting the nerve to confess to the guy she liked. A 17 year old's first kiss shouldn't be such a bittersweet thing. She should have been hanging out with her team going out and having fun every night; girl talk with Nora, hair tips with Ren, practicing with Jaune.
No summer beach trips for her. No hot cocoa on those cold winter nights. No chance to enjoy the fall colors or the fragrances of spring. She was a girl put up on a pedestal and she did her utmost to be the hero that everyone told her she was destined to be, but still, she was just a 17 year old girl. And she'll always be 17.
So much promise until Cinder came along.

I see, lets wait his reaction them.
Also, another thing I have seen lately with programs is that they have this tendency of star lightly and going darker as time pass:Aventure time,Steven universe,Gravity falls, it seen RWBY was for that direction, a light series that becomes dark with more time it pass, while I can see light moment, everything that come next would be more serious, so depending of how dark, Nora will die, maybe Ren and Maybe Winter, Qrow....I dont know.
Remenber well what Avatar teach: never trust a firebender, they destroy everything they touch

Well, this sounds way more depressing now.
Probably why is this the reason she should be left alone to rest, although... that sounds like an interesting route to explore.
Pyrrha is brought back. No side-effects. She's good as new, physically. But would she be good mentally? Sure, seeing her friends and Jaune would be soothing, but the fact remains that she "failed", that there were expectations put on her shoulders that she failed to fulfill drills into her mind and puts her in some sort of pitiful depression state. Reassurances from the people that it is alright only make things worse.
And one day she embarks to set right what wasn't done before. And fails again, for grim determination and the desire to do right did not work before and will not work this time, not when her opponents would be even stronger.
I feel like they could have screwed themselves with Pyrha here.
Either everyone is now miserable and depressed all the time for the rest of the show, which trust me, will get real old real fast. Or they go back to cracking jokes and being happy, which will look odd when one of the crew is dead and they have a constant reminder of their own mortality hanging over them.
Man I really think going that dark was a bad idea and everyone that was calling for it is gonna regret it.

Like I have been saying the keyword is balance. awesomeness with nightmare fuel. heartwarming with tearjerkers. laughter with rage. so in other words laughing through tears.
In volume 4 we will get awesomeness(any fight scene), nightmare fuel(new grimm types) fluff( white rose, renora, lancaster, bumblebee, and maybe nuts and dolts or posthumous Arkos with other character interactions) tragedy (coming to terms with loss), hilarity (mainly snarky dialogue and ruby and noraisms mixed with a little slapstick), and rage (badguys being dicks) as well as shock (??")

Cut off one head 2 more shall take it's place! Hail HydraIt could be worse: Penny could have been hijacked by Cinder, Ruby could have died or been seriously injured by Mercury, Neo, or Roman, Adam could have killed Blakenote and Yang, Cinder could have murdered Jaune, Ruby might not have been able to pull off her Silver Eyes trick, and as a consequence, got murdered by Cinder, Vale could have been completely wiped out, or EVERYONE DIES and the story ends there.
I had to get that out of my system.

It was literally described as fridging in the Spider-man comics themselves.
It's also a textbook case of fridging, Gwen was killed by a villain in order to provide angst and development for Peter.
The idea that it only affects one character to count as fridging is silly, because that's too specific and has nothing to do with the actual usage and effects of the trope. The reason the trope is seen negatively has nothing to do with how many people it effects, it's about how women were being killed off purely to give some development to male characters, which was seen as wasteful and disrespectful.
The actual detail of what elements are essential for something to be an example are always going to be subject to Your Mileage May Vary, but the most consistent elements seem to be
a) minority character is killed by a villain
b) for the main purpose of developing a male character
I can definitely see it argued that this applies to Pyrrha The fact that she had agency in her death is certainly a better case than those who are just killed helplessly, but it is almost certain she died so that Jaune could be developed. Ruby might get some development out of this, it did trigger her power, but she could just as easily focus on the suffering of her teammates and leave most of the Pyrrha angst to Jaune.
I think the biggest thing is the intent behind why the writers killed her. I think that's harder to speculate but I would put good money on Jaune's development being at the top of the list.
Another thing about Gwen is that the comics ran for so long without her, that she eventually became entirely known as "That girl who died so Spidey feels guilty" and literally nothing else. If that's the best known thing the character ever does, it's kind of Fridging yes.
Sad thing is the exact thing could happen to Pyrrha. In a decade when RWBY is on season 13 (or even if they stop at 12) the majority of the show will have been without her and Pyrrha will probably also just be known as "That girl who died early on to make everyone sad"
I have no idea what is going on, but this is laconic take on Stuffed into the Fridge:
Now it might not need to be loved one, but the "body displayed" part is important, at least to me. Whenever the trope examples follow that part? I don't know, but I feel like that is important, because otherwise you could literally put any death what affects a character. Like was Penny stuffed into the fridge?
And even if we don't need to be overspecific, I think the trope should at least about someone killing a character to mess with someone else. They killed someone simply because they are related to someone they hate. And guess what? That was not Cinder's intention. She killed Pyrrha because she was in her way.

Only sometimes posts
And she didn't even left a body
In fact, ignoring amber (because fuck her) nobody left a body.
What the hell happened with Penny? They all seem to have forgotten her. I can't seem to remember if they mentioned her in the last chapter
Uni catIt's not just about the body being displayed. It's about if the entire point of the death was just to make other characters sad/motivated and nothing else. Though it also tends to be slang for a sudden death people didn't like.
We'll probably have to see how the show runs with the aftermath first. But if all the show treats her from now on is Jaune's dead girlfriend and that's all you remember about her years later, then yeah she got Fridged.
Penny on the other hand, didn't get Fridged. Her likely return in some form aside. Her death started the Grimm attack and exposed Atlas's shady side to the world sowing the seeds of distrust. Her death will have a bigger role in the plot than just "Ruby's dead friend"
Thing is.You dont know that sure. think we shouldn't post either as clear cut examples Until we actually see how the next volumes plays out.
Also considering her death did unlock Ruby's power technically it also plays a larger role
