I'm leaning towards Blake hiding out in Vacuo, far away from the chaos engulfing the other kingdoms. Though this leaves the possibility of Sun finding her, and she'd be hard-pressed to lose him, especially after what happened in Vale.

Ruby is currently cutting a swath down to Haven with Team RNJR, and has become better friends with Jaune, the first she actually met in Beacon. The whole team is now powerful enough to qualify as second years, even if they finished their first.

Hard to say with Weiss, though she now looks more like a doll than an actual Huntress-in-training, methinks Papa Schnee forbade her from continuing her studies in the field, though it's more because of Ironwood's "incompetence" than anything Weiss actually did. And with all her friends gone, her loneliness becomes even more profound.

Yang's downward slide progresses throughout the story, and she eventually tries drowning her sorrows in alcohol, much like Qrow. Things become strained with her father and the public in general, since they undoubtedly still remember what happened at the tournament, so it's unlikely she'll get out of DGAS mode by the end of the Volume. Though maybe she'll surprise me and recuperate faster than I'm expecting, we'll see.

Much later, I can see Raven targeting Team RNJR, more specifically Ruby herself. The team finds themselves woefully outmatched, through Ruby still fights on, proclaiming she'll beat her along with all the Grimm. Raven then knocks her to the ground, and points her dark blade to her throat. "And you'll die trying, just like your mother." She then opens a portal and vanishes. Though none knew she was, at least one of Team RNJR will notice she had the same eyes as Yang when she's angry. Said fact will create tension between Ruby and Yang when they finally reunite, as the former wonders who was that masked woman. Though that won't be until Volume 5, or possibly 6. We'll see.
