Talk:Emerald Sustrai/@comment-24698450-20160809130222

Out of all the villains in RWBY who are still alive, I find Emerald to be the most likely to become a redeemed villain. The most obvious reason I have to support this theory is because she comments on how the destruction of Vale is "...almost sad." A more important reason I have is because we know less about Emerald's background than we do about Mercury's. Granted, we did not see too much of Mercury's past either, but it's plain to see he had an abusive father. As opposed to Emerald, who simply had to steal in order to even eat. For all we know, she could have come from a decent family. Even if she didn't, I think Mercury has had more of a reason to lash out than she does, and it may come to pass when Emerald turns from the dark side and tries to find redemption.

Of course, everything I am saying is completely speculative. There is presently nothing to confirm my theory. I merely point out the possibilities for Emerald in the future, nothing more. We shall find eventually, I am sure, in the months to come.
