User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: "Gold"

Helllo and welcome to author analysis. Today's topic: the song Gold

In the last blog I explained that Summer Rose is Ruby's mother and gave you several evidences that pretty much confirms it. I always receive the same two arguments by fans to counter my analysis. The song "Red like Roses pt2" is incredibly bitter and if victory is in an innocent, simple soul then it couldn't be about Ruby and her mother. The other argument is similar. If Ruby lost her mother, didn't she lose her innocence?

One word ( with an explanation) explains why she is still innocent and not bitter. Yang.

The song gold is very important in that it explains the close relationship between Yang and Ruby and explains Yang's role after Summer's death. And if you're very perceptive, it even explains why they have different last name ( kinda). So let's take a look at the third part of a trilogy of songs that tells the story of Ruby's past and Yang's contribution in Ruby's development. You can find the lyrics here, http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/RWBY_Soundtrack/Gold

This song is heartwarming after the punch in the gut the is "Red like Roses pt2" We can see in the song everything needed to allay a small girl's fears.

Everything you need

Is all I'll have for you

We see the level of sacrifices Yang is ready to do.

I'm forever

Always by your side.

She reassures Ruby she won't die and leave her alone.
