I just had a thought.

Ironwood is trying to manufacture the Guardian by making Penny. Even if she isn't the real one (my money is on Ruby being the proper GUardian), I think he might be trying to manufacture one, which is why Penny was created in the first place. After all, she's his secret project, she's not meant to be known by others until she's 'ready' to be known, and Ironwood has told her that they are not in a time of peace, and that she has important things to do. This is evidenced when Penny and Ruby are talking, and Ruby mentions "But we're in a time of peace!" Penny says to her, "That's funny, that's not what General Ironwood told me."

What reason would he have to tell Penny they are no longer in a time of peace unless he was trying to manufacture the Guardian they needed?

Or I could be way off base. But hey, that's just a theory...a RWBY Theory. Thanks for reading.

(Okay, I'll stop)
