My speculation on Autumn was that aside from the obvious possibility of alluding to some character, it could be the name of a place, particularly, a school (we don't have all the names yet, though admittedly it seems to break the "shelter/hope" theme, unless you consider that autumn is the time when most plant and wild life begin to retreat into the Earth before the onset of winter).

My other theory regarding Autumn as a person is that (presumably) she, Winter, and Summer all knew each other somehow. We've already established it's impossible to tell Winter's age just by being Weiss's sister or from her looks. She alluded to the likely substantial length of time passed since the last time she was at Beacon, seemingly implying she was a student (makes sense as "Beacon is the best"). She also already knows Qrow.

I forgot to gloat earlier: I told y'all CRDL wouldn't be thrashed in the first round. They will obviously be thrashed in this round though if they're really up against Penny.

Also, we're still missing a team, I believe. It was supposed that the tournament could support a elimination involving up to 16 teams. We have at least seven teams currently competing in the doubles rounds. (RWBY, SSSN, JNPR, CFVY, CRDL, Cinder's team, and Penny's team) That's four Beacon teams, two Haven teams, and one Atlas team thus far. So then, who is this mystery team we have yet to see?
