Talk:Glynda Goodwitch/@comment-26466954-20151116023451

It would be a crazy plot twist, but I have good reason to believe that Glynda (or a possible sister) is in fact the mastermind behind Cinder's faction...

Put it this way, there is a black queen out there who uses pawns as infiltrators... We now know that the infiltrators are not necessarily the queen herself. We've reached the point in the series where we're all starting to realize that Cinder is not the true Big Bad. The dramatic irony about us knowing the true nature of Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury is a clever cover for this.

Cinder is based off of Cinderella... We've seen some allusions to Cinderella from the Dance Dance Infiltration chapter where she needed to be home and drop all her powers by midnight. She didn't actually LOSE her powers, but if Cinder has these things in common with Cinderella, then it's possible she has a fairy godmother figure... There might be someone out there higher up who provided Cinder with either her powers, opportunities, or both... And then I found the connection... The Wizard of Oz's Glinda Goodwitch, who Glynda Goodwtich is based on, was referred to as Dorothy's FAIRY GODMOTHER...

Now this could mean one of two things... It could mean that Glynda herself, with her alibi of confronting Cinder in the first chapter, cold demeanor, new queen tiara design over black on the back of her cape since volume 2 and onward, and subtlety in the background compared to the viewers' mounting suspicions of both Ozpin AND Ironwood... is actually CINDER'S fairy godmother-esque mistress who has it out for Ozpin or has her own agenda against the government in general.

OR, since this would upset the balance of Wizard of Oz theme in Beacon authority figures... (Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood/tin man, Qrow/scarecrow, Ruby Rose/ruby slippers) it's possible that Glynda WILL come through for Ruby, but also has an evil sister just like the Wicked Witch of the East/West... and this sister is the infamous Black Queen...

Just throwing some theories out there. I haven't heard much about this one from anywhere else, so I thought I'd share.
