To deduce whether my superhuman theory holds some flak, we must first deduce the exact 'normal' levels of humans in the RWBY world. If we were to look at all of the videos so far objective (both trailers and episodes), not only the humans are armed to the teeth, their natural specs are far higher than any of the non-humans (I'm not talking about fauna, I'm talking about the droids, golems, Beowolves) here. As I've mentioned before, the greatest posible injury ever suffered in the entire RWBY series is Weiss bleeding from her forehead after taking multiple punches from a golem that looks to weigh more than a tonne.

It is without a doubt that the humans are at the top of the food chain, and under normal circumstances we should actually pity the monsters rather than worry that the humans would get hurt.

However, we are yet unsure whether the humans are naturally this strong, or it was because that they have Dust with them. It might be that without Dusts, they are just as weak as real life humans, but until we see an actual non-Dust user fight (or someone running out of Dust completely) we can't deduce this line of normality properly.

As for the rose petals, nobody can guess what's that lol, not until her past is being revealed. That's one of the better things in RWBY; mysterious elements that cannot be predicted.

That may be true. However, the 'male forgets but girl always remembers since very beginning' is a pretty classic plot. Even then, as I've mentioned before, Jaune may just be shy to admit that he knew such a 'great' person when she (in his own insecure opinion) might not remember him at all.
