Okay, Ep10 is fresh out and my theory since I started boarding the RWBY happy train gets a little worsened.

I always theorized that Weiss might possibly die at some point, now I theorize that it happens at the end of Season 1. Why, you would ask, would I want such a cruel fate for her? I don't. In fact, I relate to her the most, which only makes me feels bad harbinging this speculation.

Point1: Ruby's portion in the OP theme has her visiting a grave, haunted by a white figure. Of course, you would think that this is sooo basic. For all we know, it could be a ghost of another person in white or something. But the fact that the ghost and Weiss' forms actually loook similar, and that Weiss is the most predominantly white character introduced, makes me feel that the person Ruby grieves over is no other than Weiss.

Point 2: All of the Red like Roses songs imply someone's death, and Ruby's character motivation is driven by this. But if you give it some thought, Ruby at the present moment is not doesn't seem motivated by anything...serious. She's in this because of her fangirling over being a Huntress, killing monsters, and making the world a safer place. Of course, again, I could be wrong, but say that Weiss does die (the character she has the most interaction with in the past 10 episodes), won't that be the missing puzzle piece in Ruby's theme? Weiss dies; Ruby learns some tough lessons, she puts an actual effort in being team leader, she develops as a character, Red like Roses becomes fulfilled.

What do you folks think? I'm not putting all my chips here; this is only a theory after all, an unwanted one at that, but I just can't help but shake off the feeling. I wouldn't want to count on myself being right. I want Weiss to live.
