Everyone is acting as if becoming a maiden is the most awesome thing ever ... But honestly, it seems like it's equally a blessing and a curse. What kind of life would you have once you accepted? Sure, Pyrrha's case seems like it will have some wiggle room so she doesn't have to die, or keep it forever*, but what about the rest who get chosen? While it's speculation Raven and/or Summer are/were maidens, the fact remains both Ruby and Yang were without a mom for most of their lives.

I want to see people struggle with the decision and even walk away from it.


 * As for Pyrrha, I hope they don't take the easy way out. I absolutely adore her, but I'd rather her die than have Jaune or someone else come running to her rescue. I don't want this to have an easy way out. I want it to be dark and I want it to mean something and I want there to be consequences.

Lilith from Borderlands 2 said it best: Better dead than a damsel.
