How did I figure that out?

Just because some of the cargo on the train in the Black Trailer had the same snowflake symbol seen on the back of Weiss' bolero. *Shrug* I just remembered that, at the time, a lot of people theorized that Weiss was a famous singer. Not an heiress, not a monster hunter - a famous singer.

Basically, the pre-volume 1 theories for who Team RWBY were was


 * Ruby - Monster hunter, silent badass. Is she really Yang's sister? Is she adopted? Grandmother was killed by a wolf monster ('cause Little Red Riding Hood, and the gravestone).


 * Weiss - Famous singer, can use magic, quiet and calm, possibly stoic, elegant attitude. The backlash on her attitude in volume 1 was due to people expecting the exact opposite.


 * Blake - Bandit or mercenary or something, member of an oppressed group judging by From Shadows, left because her partner/possible-boyfriend wanted to kill the train crew, has some beef with Weiss' family judging by the snowflakes on the cargo.


 * Yang - Bounty hunter, searching for Blake maybe (Monty told us she wasn't).
