When Pyrrha asks Cinder, "Do you believe in destiny?" she suddenly became like, super serious. She was being all happy arrogant the whole time, but then when Pyrrha said that she dropped that completely and became super serial. I wonder if that's significant. I think that was the exact point that Pyrrha knew she was going to die, and realized that was her destiny. The way she sat there, not moving, not dodging or screaming, or pleading even though she knew it was the end for her. I believe Cinder realized this as well and treated the moment with the seriousness and dignity it deserved. Pyrrha's destiny was to die by Cinder's hands and not the reverse. Cinder had won; her destiny was still viable and was obviously something she believes strongly in. (I do not think that is simply the fall maiden's powers. I believe it is something much greater.)

Pyrrha fought hard, she didn't plead or beg like Amber, didn't blame her or accuse her of anything, just accepted the situation for what it was. Given her age and relative lack of real world battle experience, that says worlds about Pyrrha as a person.

Also, if any Pyrrha fans aren't depressed enough, go back and rewatch the scene with her and Jaune talking about destiny. Every word is like battery acid being dropped into your soul.)
