I really hope she doesn't become another one of those mindless cookie cutout mages who essentially all passively stand somewhere far back, look pretty, and cast magic...Basically the same thing over and over. Always hated those types of characters. Add to the waste of potential if Velvet becomes another one of those goddamned "shy and innocent" type moe-mages that you see can see in almost any subpar rpg based anime.

But god knows the RWBY team loves their mainstream anime hell, so...Heres to being lucky this time hopefully. I know Monty is far more creative than that.

Posted this before, but here goes:

Whatever happens, I'd like to think Monty would incorporate the Faunus characteristics of heightened hearing, night vision, mobility, edurance, etc into whatever her weapon is. It would be a waste of those characteristics if she turned out to be something really passive like a simple healer. Whatever her weapon is, to me, it must

1) Aid her in casting magic

2) Make use of her characteristics as a Faunus

3) Fit her personality, like all the other weapons of RWBY
