Hey guys random thought...

In the very first episode of RWBY, in the opening nerative, the female narator says;

"So you may prepare your Guardians," then goes onto say "There will be no victory in strength." The narator is fairly even toned untill she gets to these lines, where she sounds bitter and almost hateful.

The male narator (that we now know is Ozpin) takes over, replying with, "But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgoten, things that require a smaller more honest soul."

I'm thinking that the line 'there is no victory in strength' might be in refrence to Phyra, as she is known for her strength. This matched with the start of that naration ('So you may prepare your Guaridans') seems to further prove Phyra is Ozpin's 'Guardian'.

After looking at the full quote "There is no victory in strength", this might mean 'there is no victory in Phyra' meaning, as a Guardian, she will fail.

Ozpin's responce to the female narator might mean, after Phyra fails, Ruby is revealed to be the real and true Guardian. If you take the quote litteraly Ruby is smaller than Phyra, but when you look at the deeper meaning, when he says 'simpler' Ozpin might mean 'innocent' or 'child-like'. which, when combined with 'smaller' and 'honest', is the best way to describe Ruby. Combining this with the start of the quote, it looks like Ruby is the Guardian that will prevail.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense and for being so long, but I hope this might shed some light on the plot :D
