Right off  the bat, let me say this is probably not going to happen and I know it.

I've just been listening to the songs too much and had RWBY playing in the back of my head as I studied.

So just hear me out, even though it's utter dribble, and speculate on.

Ruby and Weiss don't seem to get along in the show so far. Well, Weiss doesn't get along with anyone really. And I've heard many ideas about how she psuhes people away because she doesn't know how to make normal friends, due to the rich family she came out of. And that's why she's lonely and acting so unlikeable and hostile. Let's run with this for now.

At some point, there will have to be a turning point, something that will make her open up. Perhaps it will be soon, perhaps it will be later on in the show. And we do not know how or why, but It's pretty much certain that they'll all accept eachother as worthy equals and friends. (Not saying she can't still be sarcastic and stuff.) Though all of the other girls have the capacity to make this initial connection, I think it will be Ruby who forms the bond. Not only is she the main protagonist, she's also quickly becoming the 'heart' of the group and seems the most interested in actually making friends.

We also know Ruby is adopted. And Weiss is loosely inspired by Snow White.

Up to this point, I'm fairly certain I've not said anything ridiculous. But, well get ready for the farfetchedness.

Snow White lost her mother and got an evil stepmother. What if the way Ruby and Weiss will finally respect eachother and form a bond of friendship, will be over mutual loss? It could tie in the gravestone Ruby kneels before in her trailer and might add a deeper meaning to Weiss' feelings of loneliness.

So, now that the unlikely idea that I just wanted to get out there is off my mind, lets continue. My brain kept running with this idea and formed little stuff that even I find insane, but just want to get out there.

The 'evil huntress' or whatever she was in episode one kept playing in my mind. It seems obvious to me that her identity will not be reveiled untill a later and probably dramatic time. So what if it's someone we get to know, but will only reveil herself as this alter ego at the worst possible time for the group? That seemed about right to me.

Now, seeing as we're going with the hasty presumption that Weiss' mother is dead, her father may have remarried. Hence we get an evil stepmother, seeing as this series is so inspired by folklore and fairytales. This would set Weiss' stepmother up to be a great antagonist and possibly villain.

The Shnee company also just happens to be one of the greatest 'dust-industries'. And what were the criminals after in the first episode? Dust. Now you may think, OP if you're so deluded that you think that the evil huntress is Weiss' evil stepmother (though we have no reason to believe she has one) and she married into a powerfull Dust-company, then why steal Dust? Well, she has inside information, mayhaps that's why Roman and she worked together. Stealing the Dust they've sold for double profit perhaps. Far fetched I know believe me, but Blake's already mentioned that the Shnee company is a tad shady. Which was something Weiss took offense to, perhaps this was more than just a bruise to the her ego, perhaps it's something she's ashamed from but that's beyond her control. Perhaps, the companies rep went south when her father remarried. Perhaps she's at some level aware of all this. Perhaps she'll have to make a great personal choice between what's right and wrong...

Perhaps a great many things...

Perhaps you have something to say?
