Pyrrha? no. I'm talking about the writers. The line was a set-up, it can (and should) be delivered straight.

Speculating backstory isn't a terribly good idea, since you're speculating a large number of points based on a much smaller pool of canon fact. That's what fanfic is (although fanfic tends to unscrew the factual hinges of speculation and just simply do whatever the heck it wants).

Pyrrha's 'canon backstory' has almost nothing to do with her conceptual allusions and references that created her. In anticipating 'what she'll do next', you gotta go by what she's done (and how she's done it) in the show, then fall back on her allusion. The simplest answer that fits the bill, or the one that would cause the most distress to the characters in play are the most plausible. Failing that, there's nothing to establish.

There's still a lot that hasn't been demonstrably established, so it'd be best if we stuck to what we know, or what can be immediately derived from it rather than wild (and extremely bored) speculation (while we wait for the chapter finales).

Can I hibernate 'till next Thursday yet? why am I stuck at work!
