Team RJNR.... JRNR? RRJN? NJRR? will probably be the main focus for a while.

Ruby: She has special eyes. I'm pretty sure she isn't a Maiden (yet). Been through more than a 15 year old should. Looking forward to seeing how strong she gets, both in power and personality.

Jaune: RoosterTeeth's punching bag. Almost hit the end of the roller coaster called Arkos, only to be suddenly thrown off the track. Pretty much dead inside, and probably done playing around.

Ren and Nora: Gonna get more spotlight time, finally. With Arkos sunk, the SS Renora may be our only hope for something happy.

Weiss: Inevitably going to escape and either meet up with Team RNRJ or one of the other RWBY girls. Stay away from the Summoner!

Blake: Probably out main source of info involving the White Fang and Adam. Moving pretty well for someone who was nearly disemboweled. Just raised and then crushed the hopes of any Bumblebee fans.

Yang: Barb's done with the puns for now. Might sit out Volume 4 entirely. But she's one of the main girls, and doesn't like to miss the fun. Might also be time to pay Mom a visit...

Pyrrha: Suffered from heartburn. Lived up to the term "pyrrhic victory". A lot of theories about her still being alive or being resurrected. I would love to see it happen, but not until the end. It's the Coulson Rule: Undoing death is fine, but undoing a sacrifice should wait.

Ozpin: No one sees the Wizard. But given how strong he was, I don't think he's dead. Might be taking the Dumbledore approach and watching the kids do the work for now.

Cinder: Ice, ice baby. Probably escaped, and ticked off. Not as good with the Maiden powers as she originally though, and probably carries a bruised ego.

Qrow: Teased us with Raven, and gave us no Raven. With Professor X out of the picture, it's Wolvie's job to watch over the gifted youngsters. Bird is the word.

Raven: Worst mother of the year reward. Might reappear. I'm honestly hoping for Yang vs. Raven in the future.

Neo and Roman: Not as big game as they though. At least one will probably come back. And a turn to good wouldn't be too far out there.

Mercury and Emerald: Oddly missing. Not sure about Merc, but I think Emerald has had enough of this.

Penny: Still torn apart inside. And out. Much easier to theorize her revival, but she might not be completely the same.

Salem: Cortana got sick of the declining quality of Halo games, and decided to screw around with a different world. 99% certain she is NOT the original Winter Maiden. We might learn more about her in Volume 4, but I doubt she'll show up personally very often. Chances are she knows the answers to most of our mysteries, and may even be the cause for a few.

Spring/Summer/Winter Maidens: Could be almost anybody, really. I believe we've probably met one or maybe two of them already. If they aren't bad, they're probably in danger, and might be a focus in this next season.
