User blog:FinalWholockianGrrlGamer/Headcanon: Cinder, Ozpin, and the Mysterious Narrator

Isn't it odd that Cinder is gathering up so much Dust?

Burnie and Joel are right: "It just doesn't make a lick of sense.  Who needs that much Dust?" Blake said herself that the White Fang has never needed that much Dust before. Besides, "This isn't right.  The White Fang would never work with a human; especially a human like that." She is right. Roman does not respect the Faunus more than a smidgen of salt. He calls them animals. He calls them mutts. He generally insults them whenever he gets the chance. He is not motivating them with a common goal or reward: he is using them because he has something on them. Perhaps he knows of a strong weakness of theirs; or, more likely, he has managed to rig some kind of blackmail. Perhaps it involves Penny...? Not likely. But the real question remains, "Who needs that much Dust?"

Even if they did need that much Dust, it does not make tactical sense to rob small Dust shops everywhere. That is like hearing about a gang stealing all the money from country-wide convenience stores. If you need cash, you rob a bank. If you need Dust, you rob the quarry or the factory.

Maybe they do not need Dust. Maybe they are trying to eliminate Dust. "We're gonna need more men." More men to do what? To make sure that Dust is not available to anyone but them.

Why? Well, the theme song mentioned "a world of new solutions". One should always be on one's guard when one hears "new solutions" in a fantasy show. It is almost always a villain speaking. What are these "new solutions"? Whatever they are, they involve not allowing ordinary citizens to use Dust.

Why do they need the White Fang? Because the White Fang is just another gang they can use to their advantage. The hierarchy of agents seems quite elaborate: the "queen", the mysterious narrator voiced by Jen Taylor, is the one really in charge; Cinder and her presumable teammates are next; they in turn use Roman to their advantages; and Roman, at Cinder's command, uses other various gangs. It is very hard to find the real person in charge with so many layers of agency. It is also hard to determine the main villain's purpose when you do not even know who the main villain is. After only half a season, I have no idea what her actual purpose is; all I know is that it does not involve dust.

One more thing: May I take a moment to point out, Q row,  R oman,  O zpin? But what is Qrow's first name? Perhaps it starts with an N, D, or R; is he a former (or worse, current) member of Team CNDR?
