Personally I was never much a fan of the archetypes that already come in a pre-made set of four. Things like the Four Horseman, the Four Winds, the Four Precious Gemstones; etc. I mean, on the one hand, we all know that Four seems to be the magic thematic number in RWBY. But on the other, it seems kinda cheap and lacking in inspiration. All themes we've seen thus far come from sources with very large sets of possibilities. There are certainly a hell of a lot more fairy tale heroines than those which inspire the members of team RWBY, it's just that those four happened to be the ones that were chosen.

Just a pet peeve of mine. I know most people have know issue with it and prefer it as an easier go-to option when searching for themes. I just think it's a bit lazy.
