Talk:Cinder Fall/@comment-2602:306:805D:8C10:2120:9F93:4529:E3FC-20180209130329/@comment-26306690-20180223231704

Who knows? Ruby might just be walking around speaking to the police force and Faunus and then decide to check the scene since the battle was pretty important.

As a leader, Ruby made a lot of risky decisions which could have had fatal consequences. Attempting to persuade Emerald to stop fighting, getting knocked out, sending Yang alone down to the vault(Had Cinder been the one who won it would have ended quite badly.) Weiss getting impaled while she was knocked out also is likely something she will be thinking about. Had Blake not arrived with reinforcement the battle could have ended very differently.

Cinder has caused quite an uproar. But her defeat against Raven seems too... light. I feel like in order to push the story forward and make a very powerful villain out of Cinder. She has to fight Ruby again. But not the current Ruby. A darker side of Ruby someone who can use the Silver Eyes to more than harm Grimm. Qrow said the Silver Eyes were a warrior clan the Grimm especially feared. So there is likely more to it. Having a powerful Ruby reveal herself again, defeat Cinder and cripple her further will develop Ruby as a character with hidden layers and fuel Cinder's hatred and thirst for revenge.

Salem still needs Cinder so I doubt she will dispose of her for the failure. Salem will operate on her giving her an addtional Grimm limb. But giving her a mission regarding Ozpin and his group. She will send Cinder into the dark Grimm Lands outside her castle. She will train, grow stronger and then around volume 7-8 when she has changed her clothing and powered up she will set her target not on Ruby first. But on Raven. The other one who manage to defeat her.

(After this arc and Ozpin Group manage to acquire the relic. Raven and the tribe will likely be put a bit in the background. Vernal also semed to be one of likely a few of Raven's most trusted so her arc will likely not be so relevant anymore.)

Cinder's demonstration of strength after powering up(likely together with her two disciples) will be the utter destruction and Annihilation of the Branwen Tribe. Cinder and Raven seems to possess equal control of each of the Maidens powers. The difference were totally on combat experience and versaitility. Raven will manage to survive fleeing from the powered up Cinder.

I am jumping around a bit. But Volume 9: Will be the Fall of Atlas with Tyrian and Arthur causing quite a commotion from the inside. But Ozpin's group will manage to corner them only for Cinder to arrive with an army of Grimm resulting in the death of one or more support characters during the end of it.
