^they did reveal personal issues that "somewhat" ended their childhood innocence, however I believe that line refers to losing their trust in the nation/Ozpin, or losing a main character(neither have happened yet).

From all the signs in the first 2 volumes I believe the character most likely to die(or be incapacitated/hospitalized.. I kind of figured breach would resort in at least 1 death... since it hasn't I am starting to Doubt RT will actually kill a main character) would be Pyrrha(which is sad because I really like her character), because she is not a "title" character(RWBY), she seems a truly balanced(mentally/spiritually) character and her skills seem to have peaked. She has also garnered a lot of screen time to make us actually miss her as a character, while not to mention she would likely be have very little growth to look forward to other than her relationships.

Penny could then end up replacing her on JNPR(already a gender-bent character, already powerful enough to fill her role for year 2, fits the name, would still make Jaune look like a total wimp, likely to lose ties to Ironwood and her father with a council that can's Ozpin for a breach that barely happened would likely do worse to Ironwood for the kind of failure that it looks like he is about to be set up for.)

Jaune would still have plenty of ships(if she dies) or a really good arc for making up to Pyrrha for ignoring her so long(if she lives badly injured/unable to fight for awhile/ever) as well as giving her character a chance for vulnerability/growth, and RWBY and JNPR would be hit hard psychologically.

Ozpin is another good choice for a sacrifice character, but I think he and Glynda will at least live deep into the series and only die if the plot requires it, but both are likely too powerful to be wasted anytime before season 15 if they plan on 20 seasons

as for faith in Ozpin, if he is a betrayal character I would wager that this is again too early(Season 10ish), the same for the nations council(season 5 minimum)
