… they can live normal lives if they're allowed to. If they're allowed to that is, though a lot of the time they're not given that choice, thanks to Ozpin and Salem. They're seen as tools and possessions rather than people, and that's sad. It isn't due to Ozpin at all, in fact he leaves them under his protection and his enforced secrecy is an extra layer of protection from everyone except Salem and those forces under him that would betray him, as well as those the maiden directly reacts with. Salem however is not the only one out to get them, anyone who wishes the power of a god is... and that's a huge number of people.
