Salem isn’t the sharpest tack, & seems to have idiots abound, in her posse. She has Tyrion, Mercury, & Cinder, left at this point. I’m sure we’ll get some new villains soon, too.
It seems pretty obvious that team rwby will eventually be the maidens, for a final show down with Salem vs Oz + Maidens.
I’m guessing Ruby will get the Fall Maiden power last, right before the end fight, she’ll kill Cinder.
Weiss will have already gotten Winter Maiden power, her sister Winter will have a sad death.
Blake will get an out of left field, Summer Maiden power, probably once the team gets to Vacuo. The writers might make it a BS Faunus secret thing.
Yang will already have the Spring Maiden power, from her Mom, by the end of v9.
You know how Yang’s mum, Raven, can semblance her way through space/ time with a swipe from her sword?
Bet she’s gonna “save” team RWBY & Gary Stu from the alternative reality island.
Being that Neo is so insanely popular of a character, the writers will likely convert her to a good guy, like Emerald, or kill her, like Penny. Whatever they deem will “wow!” the most, atm, in their cope-mindsets.
Those writers are big time try hards. They are obviously going for the shock schtick, at this perilous time in their tragedy of a scriptwriting larp.
FNDM will act like the shock schtick is actually surprising or groundbreaking, etc.
I’m pretty sure team rwby were always meant to inherit the maiden powers, so that’s no surprise. I could see that as part of Oum’s original concept, everyone could.
I’ll bet Yang gets hers first, then either Weiss or Blake, in the middle, w/ Ruby getting hers at the last. Her sharingan will help her make up for not having powers like the wby of her team, in the last, home, stretch until she gets her maiden power, too.
