If there's one thing this bitch and her partner are good for, its reinforcing the notion that huntsmen are not purely heroic. Huntsman aren't by nature heroes, soldiers, or even really people that should be relied on. They are first and foremost mercenaries. They take jobs to get paid and kill Grimm if the situation gets bad enough. Helping people a lot of times is either beaten in to them by the Academies, or just coincides with their interests. They may be expected to be heroes, soldiers, etc. but they aren't. They are first and foremost hired guns. Cause at any point, a huntsman could prove to be a total sleaze like these two, use their training for their own benefits like Raven did for her tribe, or turn out to be complete jokes like Dee and Dudley.

So her and her partner further that idea, and with it reinforce my frustration that most of the kingdoms choose to rely on Mercenaries over actual armed forces. Cause really, only Atlas seems to have a military. Mistral losing their huntsman to Tyrian and Hazel pretty much crippled it, most of Vale's are preoccupied with clearing out Beacon or ran off to other kingdoms, and Vacuo's whole motto is Survival of the Fittest and seperated into small tribes without a stable government.

Really, not all huntsmen are like her and her partner, but is it really any better to rely on people that could turn out to be like them?
