7. More backstory on Qrow and Raven as well as more backstory on Team STRQ and why they broke up and how Summer Rose died. 1. Actually, it's entirely possible that silver eyes do not affect all Maidens the way that they affected Cinder. One theory is that, what Salem meant was the way that Cinder obtained the Fall Maiden powers - through the use of a Grimm, the very creature that silver eyes are said to be highly effective against.

It seems as if there is something inside of Cinder, judging by the end of Of Runaways and Stowaways, where we get to see what kind of recovery that she is going through. Salem tells Cinder "Do you feel it? Don't fight it, girl. It can sense your trepidation. You must make it dread you."

Just something to think about.

2. One theory that's been going around is that the Spring Maiden is a member of Raven's tribe, so if Yang does find Raven and we see her tribe, we'll probably find out who the Spring Maiden is. The theory is pretty much based on Qrow and Raven's conversation just before Raven leaves.

Basically, Qrow mentions that Raven seems to have someone powerful on her side and that he saw the damage from that in Shion. Raven blames it on the Grimm, and Qrow says "I'm not talking about the Grimm." and Raven suddenly lifts her head up and widens her eyes a little. He continues "And I'm not talking about you, either." Raven tries to change the subject back to the Relicsaying that, if he doesn't know where the Relic is, she has nothing more to talk with him about. But Qrow stops her and says "I don't know where the Spring Maiden is either, but if you do, I need you to tell me."

This seems to signal that Qrow believes that the Spring Maiden is with Raven's tribe. You could say that it only signals that he thinks Raven knows where Spring is, but note that Qrow said that Raven seems to have someone powerful on her side and that he did not mean the Grimm or Raven.

3. Same here. The current theory is that it probably reflects damage back at his attacker, since the only time we know that we saw even a hint of his Semblance was when Cardin punched him and there was a bright flash of light (according to Monty). Cardin acted like his hand was hurt.

4. Same here.

5. Same here, and I think she probably will.

6. Neptune is afraid of water because his voice actor, Kerry, can't swim. I hope there's an in-universe reason, though.

7. Yes, same! We need some STRQ back story!
