I'm thinking... No, I'm sure that Ozpin is The Wizard of the Legend of the Four Maidens. It has been a very, very long time that he has waited. He has seen many women bear the powers, some honourably and some dishonourably. He's seen civilisation rise and fall many times and still... still he has waited patiently...

Waited patiently for the time when he would finally see his four friends again.

His wait may finally be over.

Don't look at the Maidens' powers or even necessarily their appearance. Look to their personalities and their behaviour and look for which members of the cast best match them. I've got a feeling that there are four young women at Beacon who will never, ever have the chance to have 'normal knees'.


 * Winter, with her methodical deliberation and inner focus is more like Weiss than many might be willing to realise;


 * Spring, with her boundless joy and love of all life, even debatably living things like androids and even Creatures of Grimm ("Birdie! No!") could very possibly be Ruby;


 * Summer, with her warm humour and puckishness is very likely Yang;


 * Fall, with her gentle wisdom and ability to see truths others would not is possibly Blake.

The match isn't perfect but it could be done without breaking the characters.

They never asked to be goddesses. Destiny very rarely asks what you might want.
