I believe Blackchao27 is right with the "Twinke in the Eye" trope, but it could potentially mean something more, idk. In regard to my clairvoyance idea, yeah I can see what you are saying, Grimmstride. But, I can also attempt to back up the idea.

Clairvoyance-ability to see parts of the future/alertness to certain conditions of people, places, or things.

-Qrow was at the exact right place and time to save Amber even though he was probably on other assignments. Perhaps he has a certain foresight and could discern Amber's location and status that allowed him to ensure Cinder did not get the full power of a Fall Maiden.

-He knew exactly when and where young Ruby and Yang were and successfully saved them from Beowolves even though Yang said that she had been "walking for hours."

-Qrow drinks a lot. Perhaps he gets visions all the time that he can't make full sense of, but he doesn't get the visions while he is drunk. This would explain why he is always drunk.

-Crows were thought in the medieval times to predict certain events. Qrow = crow

-This might go with the whole "Grim Reaper" motif he has going on because divining the future has ties with the supernatural.

-Counterpoint: He could not tell/did not forsee who Cinder's Faction consists of and it doesn't seem he would be able to use the semblance. Also, as  Grimmstride said, he might not have this ability because he wouldn't need to do so much adventuring if he had it. Occurrences of saving people could be coincidence, just like Ruby being in the "right place at the right time."

 -Closing thoughts: So maybe he doesn't get visions or what have you, but perhaps at the very least for the overall idea, he instinctly knows when someone is in trouble and where they are, which would incorporate the whole "tracking" thing that  Grimmstride was talking about.



Ill try to think of other ideas.
