- One thing I wish was addressed more was the reputation of our main heroes. Weiss, Blake, and Yang at least should be pretty well-known -- Weiss, for her former heiress status, Blake, for being "Princess" of Menagerie and a Belladonna, and Yang, for shattering her reputation at the Vytal festival (and then possibly amending itself when the truth about Mercury was reported to the world.) I mean, think about it: Weiss Schnee, former heiress to the SDC, rumored estranged from her family and insane following the Fall of Beacon, has become a Huntress. Or: Blake Belladonna, Princess of Menagerie and reformed White Fang member, becomes a Huntress. Yang Xiao Long, who was manipulated in the Vytal tournament and lost a limb in the Fall of Beacon, becomes a Huntress. Ruby Rose, 17, becomes the youngest individual to officially gain a huntsman license, 4 years before the traditional graduation age. etc etc etc.

Additionally, considering how important huntsmen are in society, I would imagine that graduation ceremonies are a pretty big event, so the fact that Ironwood went out of his way to specifically license these seven students (who didn't take a license exam) seems pretty notable -- though that's moreso just my personal headcanon. I think it'd be really cool to see our heroes recognized and interviewed more, and to explore the Huntsman career and fame in general, sort of similar to how MHA does it. 1. Keep in Mind, Blake isn't famous for a reason, Her Parent's likely suppressed info about her while she was a terrorist, and international comms have been down since b4 she even made her debut as Princess or a hero.

2. Ironwood is licensing them on the DL, yeah people got the release in the papers, but this isn't a true graduation, and the reasons/way they got there is presently top secret.
