No, do not keep shipping them, and if you do, at least acknowlege Pyrrha's probably going to be Jaune's lost lenore: A character whose loss deeply affects another forever. Forcing her to appear again will only hurt RWBY. Stop. It. Wow, dude, you're being really obnoxious in this thread. I went to some effort to explain how I think they could do it and unless RT said Amber is not coming back then it is still technically plausible for it to play out the way I suggested. Pyrrha would still be dead, technically, and it would just mean that Amber was revived after Cinder killed her. Like, I literally even gave an example of another series where they pulled something akin to what I was suggesting.

It's not really plausible that amidst the destruction of the tower a huntsman appeared that can heal more effectively than the most advanced technical equipment available... because at that point Amber's body was failing, and the nearest hunter's were not the first to arrive(supposedly Qrow was first on the scene), the body should have been nearly drained of blood at that point(about as possible to resurrect as Pyrrha). Unless Ozpin took her as he disappeared there is just no way she was assisted externally within time. The laws of the Maiden transfer state how once the Maiden dies, the last person the Maiden thinks of gets the power (unless it's a dude or an old hag). The key word is *dies*. As in *dead*. Amber is dead. Thanks for bringing it up (Game Grumps reference). Amber died, with an arrow stuck in her heart, doing who knows what damage while still lodged in both the glass and the chest. Several minutes later, with no form of preservation (like, say, freezing, not with a broken cryochamber), she is still in there, Ozpin went immediately to fight Cinder, and Cinder went immediatly to the top of the tower after beating him. And the whole area is crowded with Grimm (to be fair, Qrow did make it to Ruby).

I have no idea why death is such a hard concept on this wiki. I mean...is this so unfamiliar that we just can't accept it? Where was all of this when Tukson was killed? We don't even have any reason or past experiance to believe people can even come back short of Penny, and even then past experiance (in other media, mind) points to her not being the same person afterward. I just don't get it.
