3. Saying "she's an honest and simple soul" does not justify her lack of development, even less when everyone else, even secondaries, get noticeable development. 1. She says she does care, but not just about herself...

2. Normal kneeeeessss. (but also shitty writing because CRWBY wanted to save talking about that for later/keep fans asking for more even though fans have to ask for too much at this point.)

3. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm not justifying it. I think 1 & 3 really boil down to Raijin's answer for 2.... shitty writing.

1. is precisely how Raijin described it, rather than letting the deaths affect her character, she used it to double down on a call to action. Ideally, the writers should have shown this by writing a scene from her perspective earlier... like during V3, the time-skip/short, or V4. That they didn't I can only assume was to keep the show consistently perspective neutral.

The problem is they keep chaining the series to really shitty plot points rather than just naturally expanding it as characters need for development, then rushing to points they want to cover.
