It's called RWBY, not JNRRWBYOQMRCXYZ... at a certain point RT WILL NEED to focus on RWBY, and since they specified this was the moment they rushed through V4-5 for... it should be now, there's no goddamn time to bring along more characters they don't have time to flesh out, even Spaceballs had time to point out the uselessness of bringing along sidepiece's of sidepieces etc by a dialog in which the villain reveals how he is related to the hero, a longwinded explanation of being of no relation... and that is what you are expecting for some reason... a farce even a farce movie makes fun of.

Given episodes are increasingly coming in at around 20 minutes, they have more than enough time to dedicate to RWBY. Having less significant characters developed a bit doesn't mean they need to be even remotely as fleshed out as the main heroes. Was certainly not suggesting her interaction with Maria was the sole reason to keep her around a little bit, but just something they would get out of it. Of course, you presumably knew that, but chose to butcher my comments so you could try to me down over some minor issue rather than addressing my actual main point.
