Calm down, anon, Kerry said that we'll get to know the new characters through the fights and that they're going to progress the current characters (read: the characters we've already met).

Basically, all Team ABRN is here for is to make the tournament feel less empty, not to be our new buddies to get to know and see develop.

I really don't see why people are so shocked that they're bringing in more characters. The tournament is supposed to have students from all over the world compete. So far, prior to volume 3, we have 1 Mistral team (SSSN), Penny, Cinder's group, and 4 Vale teams. Four... fucking... Vale teams. And that's if CFVY will compete. If not, that still means we have 3 Vale teams next to 1 Mistral team, Cinder's group, and Penny. Cinder's group might not even be from another kingdom. If so, that means four students from Mistral and one robot from Atlas.

Without additional characters, the tournament wouldn't really feel like students from all over the world gathered there. So, if they bring in another team or two whose only purpose is to fight in the tournament and nothing else, I don't really give a damn.

In reality, the only new characters who actually have a real possibility of being a big deal in volume 3 are


 * Winter


 * Qrow


 * Raven??

If Raven shows up, that leads to development for Yang. If Winter shows up, that leads to development for Weiss. If Qrow shows up, that could bring up something with Ruby.
