Like Nora. Or Velvet. Or one of the other background characters (though I doubt that would happen). Or maybe Blake or Weiss will step up.

I don't think it will be Ruby though, as she's only 15. She still has a lot to learn, and I don't think the populace will look at her and go "Yay! Our Guardian!" They're more likely to go, "Yay! Our - wait. She's only 15? What?" Though age really shouldn't matter, it does. Especially to civilians who don't really know that much about what she may or may not have learned.

That's the other thing about this title... The fact it seems to be getting placed in the hands of children (teens) as opposed to what I would assume to be a field with  moderate number of candidates. Heck Qrow under cover runs into Huntsmen. They are numbered well enough. Makes you wonder how big the idea of Guardian is. Because at this point it isn't feeling very big. I could honestly see it being some school tradition like a Valedictorian or school representative.

At the same time, that idea contradicts the tone in which it was brought up in previously... With a NEED to find the guardian.
