RT might just let her die.

It's Nora who's amazingly powerful in a number of ways who I would suspect might be written out.

Side note: Jaune and Pyrrha, Nora and Ren: much like the complement of Summer Rose and Taiyang, Raven and Qrow (later Raven and Taiyang, Qrow and no one). Does JNPR fit the pattern? I posited a while ago that Penny could end up becoming Ozpin's ward after the epic failure Ironwood appears to be set upon, and could replace Pyrrha in just about every way on JNPR.

She is based on a genderbent character(as all of JNPR are), she is a "quirky redhead"(remember how Jaune introduced Pyrrha in her first scene?), and is highly skilled and powerful.
