I actually expect that if/when this battle ends, they (and maybe Ruby) search for the remains and clear the destruction the battle caused, and when they do so (idk if the colosseum is out of the sky then or not) they find Penny's remains, and that man with the white beard will be there and I think the volume ends off with them saying: "We'll make sure Penny will be repaired immediately." and that makes the people happy.

I personally will stick to my hopes we see some Vacuo students honour the kingdoms scavengers reputation and go out looking for supplies, find Penny's pieces, take them back and resemble her with parts of broken AKs and Paladins.

Ruby seems to have a naturally small built, add that to her speed semblance and it's perfectly possible Qrow judged she could hope to be a descent Lightning Bruiser OR become an excellent Fragile Speedster. Crescent Rose is a sniper rifle (which is basically the long ranger of guns) and its melee form is basically a pole arm (maintaining a distance between Ruby and her opponent to make body size differences irrelevant).

If Qrow covered sword skills, it was probably since he was personally training her, he might as well teach her everything he specialises in.

Finally, there is always that Ruby was moved up two years, at her age that means a lot of body development. She wouldn't have gotten taller, but there is stuff that's still settling down. It's also two years of training she is missing and that could have accounted for her to pick some classes on the areas of combat she is lacking.

So she IS a real person and not an AI!

Which I swear is something i saw people say several times... I recall mentioning seeing CCT girl clones around on the background a couple of times...

That said, she is wearing the uniform a mentioned on a previous ep. thread... I take it this confirms it's either Amity or CCT staff uniform.

Back to CCT girl being or not an AI, it's possible her job covers more than just being an operator so she actually works somewhere else in the CCT and gets projected via hologram whenever someone needs her.
