Talk:Cinder Fall/@comment-27599548-20161008000151/@comment-25936766-20161008024508

I've explained ways to explain both of those things, Jaric, so many times I've lost count.

1-If we assume it's Frozen like Mass Effect's Stasis, where the target is 100% invulnerable while at it, then there's no way for Qrow to have even damaged her.

2-It could be a temporal stasis. Which means anything inflicted upon her would do nothing because it's like she was stopped in time. They would take place after she unfroze.

In both cases, Qrow doesn't need to know this firsthand. He saw Cinder frozen, and seeing how she was like a statue, attacked her just in case, saw it did nothing, and thus left her alone. Otherwise, it was a potentially-dangerous waste of time, with all the Grimm around, and focused on getting Ruby to safety. Possibly more dangerous, since he would be worried about what happened to her up there, which attracts more Grimm.

Plus, like others have argued before, he wouldn't back then necesarily know how Cinder looks. So all he saw was a stranger frozen. No way to identify Cinder by voice if she doesn't speak, and when he saw them before, it was from a distance and with Emerald using her Semblance to screw with his vision of them.

As for why he didn't mention her: Here's 1 possibility: He didn't have a sure idea of what her state was. He knew the Dragon was Frozen. But he didn't know if Cinder was as well. He knew of it's effect on Grimm, but didn't know what it could do to a human and Maiden, and instead of giving possibly-wrong assumptions and guesses, he didn't mention it.

Aditionally, something I thought just now: Cinder could have been frozen, but someone, or something, took her away before Qrow arrived. Maybe a Griffon commanded by Salem? After all, a Maiden under your command is quite the asset, to allow to lose in such a shitty way.
