But what I want to know is: what is that significance to OZPIN? Does it mean something different to him in particular or does he actually know what's so special about Ruby? I'm telling you, he knew her parents. Okay, let's say you're right. Ozpin knew Ruby's folks. What, would you say, that adds up to? If anything? Is this just some nice little thing he noticed? Does he intend to adress this with Ruby? Could any of us put it past him to even do so?

Personally, I think ol' Ozzy will end up becoming one of those "wise" characters who have vast amounts of highly important information, probably thing our main 4 will need to get done what needs getting done, but for whatever reason (dramatic tension, most likely) he'll hold off on spilling the beans until "the time is right". That exactly. Perhaps there is some sort of hidden agenda behind Ruby's early acceptance into Beacon, but Ozpin holds off on telling her because he doesn't want her to set herself up too early and make the same mistake Anakin did in Star Wars.

Alright, I'm gonna have to stop you there.

The reasons Anakin ended up the way he did were beacause A: he was an idiot and B:... actually that's pretty much it. He was an idiot and he deserved what he got. Mostly. Was he, in fact, set up too early? Absolutely, but it's just as much his fault as anyone elses. Think back to Aang of ATLA fame. That kid could've just as easily ended up like Anakin, but he didn't. Why? Two things happened.

1) Through a stroke of fate (Read: iceberg) he got away from all, if not most, of the people pressuring him to be the Avatar and essentially take away his childhood.

2) He followed the path of the Avatar on his own terms. Sure, he was on the clock to go beat up the Fire Nation before they essentially ended the world but that never stopped him from doing things his way and having fun along the way. At least in the first season.

Now, I dunno about you, but when I look at Ruby, I don't see someone who could become the next Seeker of Darkness (that's a KH joke, everybody).
