While this isn't much cause for alarm alone, Pyrrha's character is also based off Achilles, the powerful Greek hero who ultimately fell in battle at Troy. This has me worried that if this series gets any darker, (I don't even want to say it!) she may not survive the show. Even as it is, we may be looking at some sort of tragedy sub-plot.

I might have some sort of breakdown if one of her high-heels gets broken because I'll see that as some horrible foreshadowing. :((( its worse than that... look at Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender... then look at Jaune. Then look at Sokka's first Girlfriend... then look at Pyrrha.  Then realize that Sokka's relationship with Suki is similar to Jaune's relationship with Ruby(no kiss yet... but he saw her first and they are now "friendly"), now realize that if Monty/RT has taste they are unlikely to ship Ruby with anyone until she is older... considering they intend for the show to grow with the fans, she will be old enough for them to have her wait.  The implications are troubling for Pyrrha...
