I sort of had an idea for redeeming Cardin which involves him getting framed for killing a Faunus student, which starts Beacon's entire Faunus population hunting him down, including a close friend of the victim.

Bumping into JNPR and RWBY, he pleads his innocence and although they don't believe him at first (especially Pyrrha and Blake), Jaune decides to investigate the murder and clear Cardin's name.

The only witness is Velvet Scarlatina who is convinced the killer is Cardin but the real killer is seeking to kill her, prompting Cardin, JNPR and RWBY to save her. Along the way, Cardin begins to see the errors in his racism towards Faunus.

Eventually, the victims close friend takes Cardin's team mates hostage and demands him to turn himself in, which he does but Velvet jumps in to protect him. In rage, the close friend is about to deal her a fatal blow before Cardin pushes her aside and takes it for her.

Soon enough, Ozpin and Glynda talks him down and get Cardin to a hospital. Later in a trial, Cardin's name is cleared when Velvet confesses him saving her and JNPR and RWBY presents evidence pointing out the identity of the real killer...

Who he or she is, I haven't gotten that far ahead. But how does it sound?
