This isn't the first time RT has killed off characters in their series. I highly douby Kerry or MIles would disrespect Monty by going against what he wanted. Remember, this is Monty's series and RT will honor his work. I like Pyrrha too but they're tons of characters that I like that are dead. Pyrhha accepted her death and knew there was no way to avoid it. Plus she is supposed to be Achilles and died the same way as Achilles did.

Jen Brown Quotes:
 * To start let me just say it has been a true honor to play such a vibrant character. Playing Pyrrha meant the absolute world to me and getting to see how much she meant to many of you as well means a lot.
 * The entire Rooster Teeth team and RWBY crew deserves so much praise for how beautifully the show was handled. I have known from the minute I was cast 3 years ago that this would be Pyrrha's fate. It was Monty's intention from the start. And although it is kind of a relief to no longer have to keep it to myself, I am very sad that her journey has come to an end. Watching that final scene was beyond emotional for me. When you've invested so much into a character it is hard to let them go.
 * Most importantly I thank Monty. I miss him every day and thank him for trusting me with Pyrrha. Monty also intended for me to play other roles after Pyrrha's exit and although I have no further details right now... I fully trust that Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross will stay true to his wishes and have me back as someone new. I love those guys.
 * I end by giving my heartfelt gratitude to you the viewer. You guys are seriously the best. And for the last time, I'm sorry!
 * Oh yeah, and also... Long live Lisa Lavender!!!

1. You have no more information about Monty's intentions wrt a possible Pyrrha revival than anyone else, other than Miles and Kerry, and they are understandably mum on the subject. That is not to suggest that it is remotely likely, but none of us know, and that's the way it should be. Saying that reviving Pyrrha would be dishonouring Monty's memory presupposes that it was his intention to kill her off at this time (which it clearly was) AND never bring her back (which you cant say).

2. I have long since learned to utterly ignore statements from VAs regarding the fate of characters. Not because I think he/she is trolling but because it can only fall into 1 of 2 categories:

a. they are being completely honest

b. they are contractually obliged to not reveal any massive future spoilers and need to make a public statements expressing regret in having to leave in order to cover that trail (think of all the speculation regarding Jon Snow in GOT). The absence of this kind of repsonse would be a spoiler in itself.

as a result, it's impossible to tell how real their statements are until we actually see what happens (or doesnt) in the future. I do believe Jen's sentiments are real though, I don't think that's in question.
