What I want to see are characters that had little to no screen time in these past seasons, but could be very important. Yang's mom and dad, Mr. Schnee, and Salem for example. We've gotten glimpses of these people and hints about their importance and back stories, but not much. I really want to see more of these characters and learn what they are like more than I'd like to see characters come back. I also want to see who the other three of the four maidens currently are. I want to see the current Spring, Summer, and Winter maidens, what they are like, and whose side they are on.

IMHO, the dead should stay dead. Ever since Superman came back to life after being "killed" by Doomsday an annoying precedent was set in comics, TV, and other fiction. I call it the "wannabe Jesus syndrome" where everyone is a wannabe Jesus who comes back to life after being dead (or "dead" in some cases if you catch my drift) for a short period of time. This is REALLY annoying as it completely takes the bite and sting out of a character's death. It creates something of a "boy who cired wolf" situation where people just stop reacting to the alarm because they've been conditioned to think it's no big deal. I don't think Penny, Pyrrha, or Roman should come back to life because when resurrection becomes common place death looses its meaning, it's impact.

Think of all the fictional characters that have died only to come back to life a short while later in other fictional universes. So far that hasn't been an issue in RWBY, and I'd like it to stay that way. I don't want to look at the death of a favorite character and go "Yeah, big deal!  When are you bringing her back to life?" the way I did when Captain America "died" and later on Wolverine in Marvel comics. I WANT RWBY to go Game of Thrones up in here!
