Whitley: Well there might be a chance, but it’s going to have to be something major to recalibrate that mind. That something would likely be him ending up on the business end of someone like Jacques if not Jacques himself. It’s only when he’s made painfully aware of the consequences and the truth that he’ll turn around.

Hazel: Dude has to have some major cognitive dissonance going on right now. Why? Blaming Ozpin for his sisters death, then siding with the very entities that require her volition to begin with. If he hasn’t already locked it out subconsciously, he has to realize that the ONLY reason Huntsmen and Huntresses exist are because of the Grimm and by extension Salem. And then he claims Ozpin is sacrificing children when he’s trying to kill Nora. Granted he was enraged and not thinking straight, but in a clear head, does he seriously not realize that it’s more forcing Nora to die for Salem’s cause and his own personal vendetta? Two things that may get him to turn:

1.) He gets Locus’d. Some event happens that begins to show him just how much he is projecting, being hypocritical and above all betraying his sister in death.

2.) He gets Scar’d. In this version, being confronted by a vengeful family member (Maybe Yang/Ruby while the other is near death) reminds him of himself and how he’s only breeding more vengeance and hatred with others.

Neo: Nah. Maybe anti-hero, but not full on good. She’s only in it to avenge Roman, and clearly faults Cinder over Ruby (Who did she ambush first?). Who knows, maybe she’ll want vengeance on Salem by extension.

Mercury: Only if he figures out that he’s become the very thing he claims to hate about his father, minus alcoholism. And even then he’ll shrug it off. He seems resigned to fate instead of thinking he can bare his teeth at it and win.

Emerald: Most likely. I imagine the talk with Salem, the apparent loss of Cinder and clearly despising the Grimm and loss of innocent life has jarred her quite a bit. Mercury even calls her out on her mommy issues, something I’m hoping has stuck with her. Maybe it will be the death of a street urchin in the Atlas attack that snaps her out of it. Who knows.

An unfortunate truth in life is that it often takes a tragedy or traumatic event to open people’s eyes.
