So, I often see the theory that Pyrrha's death by the hand of Cinder caused her soul to transfer in her murderer, somewhat explaining why she seemed so insecure and weak in volume 4.

My question are: How? and why Pyrrha?

I mean, I know the arguments are that she was supposed to become the next Fall Maiden and so she was somehow linked to Cinder at her time of death, but the maiden power transfer didn't happen, it got interrupted.

If anything, it should be Amber's (another freaking waste of a potentially interesting character, mind you, but we get that a lot in RWBY so...) soul reaching out, she's been the Fall Maiden longer, and all of her maiden power went to Cinder.

Sooo yeah, I don't really buy this whole Pyrrha is coming back by taking Cinder's body, but Amber, hmm I wouldn't mind that, it would be a cool way to properly introduce this character.
