An idea came to my mind recently, so I just wanted to get this out to see if someone can understand where I'm going. I think that Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang all represent the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Think about it:

Yang could be the concept of War: Her Semblance is all about trading blows; who can overpower who. Combine that along with her gung ho attitude and you have the first Horseman.

Next is Blake. Blake is a bit unlike Pestilence, but it might be the fact that she represents a black cat that she could be a Horseman. Think about it: a black cat represents misfortune, and she thinks that she spreads misfortune wherever she goes.

Weiss is in another type of grey area, but being associated with winter, she could resemble Famine. Winter is known to bring food shortages; crops die and almost nothing edible can be grown. The cold prevents it all. She is also hungry for a life of combat, rather than a desk job.

Finally, Ruby represents Death. She weilds a scythe, a weapon that Death is often associated with. She also wears black, a color that is worn at funerals and red, the color of freshly spilt blood. Her Semblance may have a hand in this, as after War, Pestilence, and Famine are done with people and humans, Death follows behind and is often quick and speedy.

It makes so much more sense, doesn't it?
