Oh Penny <3 But I disagree with Ozpin knowing her or "constructing her". The unknown man in Penny's car telling her not to wander off in a "strange city" was someone else (in the credits his voice actor was even a different person), and when the scene shifted Ozpin (implied to be at Beacon Academy at the time this was all taking place) was watching live feed of Ruby until Qrow sent him that cryptic message "The Queen has Pawns." I find it weird that he wasn't watching Penny, actually, since she showed that much power. I mean really, the girl split an airship in half. Why would you be focused on self-proclaimed normal knees Ruby instead of the girl who BLEW UP A FREAKING AIRSHIP WITH A SWORD CANNON LASER.

I do agree with the idea of Roman being a small-time crook. How else would he have gotten caught before? Cinder (who we referred to previously as "Crimson") probably busted him out when she saw he had potential, or maybe she had already known him by the time he had that mugshot of himself taken by authorities. It was stated in a livestream that the higher his bounty was, the happier he would be. He probably is only interested in his notoriety, but it doesn't look like he's comfortable with the way things are going with Cinder and co. I think he's going to want out of the plan at some point and try to be evil in his own way.
