User blog:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/What if Neo's Semblance isn't illusions... but CLONING?

RWBY character importance is certainly weird. Velvet went from throwaway character to soon-to-be supporting character due to adorablness, Winter Schnee's meer mention caused a hurricane of speculation, and now we have Neo who's design sparks curiosity.

So speaking of design, remember in the warehouse scene in episode 4 where she was seen with brown eyes? Then when she appears to save Roman she has a single light pink eye? What if instead of an animation error, that was a hint to her true semblance?

The ability to clone others and control the clones durability and motives!

Can you fathom how incredibly powerful that could be in a show where the villains true plan has yet to be unfolded? Think of it: She could clone anyone as well as their personalities and abilities, but ALSO control their lifespan? That could mean that she may have cloned Roman inside the Paladin so that the real Roman could remain unharmed and watch our heroes abilities from afar. Then when the mech was destroyed she could've cloned herself and "saved" that Roman, when instead she was simply confusing us all into thinking her semblance is illusions and actually discarded the purposeless clones in a dramatic fashion.

When this idea of mine came into being, I simply couldn't let go of it. The different colored eyes inbetween scenes and the fact Roman seemed to climb into, start up and operate a stolen prototype Paladin so quickly all just points to the answer: CLONES!

It also may explain how Ozpin seems so out-of-touch in certain episodes. He seemed unusual in his speech in episode 3, and his eye colors were different in Blakes questioning scene.

Only time will really tell if this theory holds weight, or deflates. So fire your ideas away!
