I don't think it's a coincidence that the series title 'RWBY' sounds similar to the name of one particular character - everyone's favourite red-clad Beowolf slayer. I suspect that she's going to be, if not the primary character, at least the person around events crystalise out. That's why I think she'll end up as the leader. Not through merit or skill (Yang, Weiss and Blake all have far greater claim on that basis) but through burden of destiny. I expect either a meeting with a Mysterious Old Man or a flashback to Ruby's late grandma with her being told "It must be you, child.  It can be no-one else."

If I'm right, we can expect from early on Ruby to have flashes of trans-intuitative insight into the enemy's behaviour and hidden powers that suddenly pop out of no-where just when she needs them and then remain frustratingly out of her conscious control until she trains with more focus.

I'm hoping there's no 'The Fifth Element is your heart' nonsense, by the way.
