If Sun dies, the rest of team SSSN is not going to appear until they get kinda over it, that way they won't have to develop them. And why would they focus on them. It's one thing to focus on each member of team RWBY, they are the mains characters, but Team SSSN, with the exception of Sun, RT hasn't cared about any of them. even Neptune seems to be there more for Sun than his own character

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Mentioned that above. Sun is the only member of that team who is even a secondary character. The rest of his team was really only introduced to flesh him out and add to that Weiss/Jaune/Pyrrha arc in Volume 2.

As for Qrow, I don't think he will die, but he will be put out of comission for a while.

This is for two reasons

1. Is there a single one of us who didn't think Tyrian stinger was venomous? The fact not a single one of them considered that was just embarassing and pitiful, and to kill off a relatively important and powerful character in so stupid a manner is just dumb.

2. Moreover, Qrow literally just replaced Ozpin as leader of his group(yes I know Ozpin is not dead, but the other charcters don't). This means that Ruby will get ozpin's cane, etc. and seems to put way too much pressure. Also, if he dies, Ruby will have lost two of her primary authoirty figures in the span of a year as well as two good friends. We don't need more angst character reponse for her. The opportunity was already provided post Volume 3, there needs to be a pause an use of a different character development mechanism before retuning to it.
