I wonder now, do the emblems have any simbolism?

I look at Ruby's emblem. It's a rose. Obviously, this alludes to her rose motif and her last name. However, look at the top of the rose. There seem to be some...curved spikes. Or maybe....flames?

This gets me thinking, that it could be alluding to Summer's death, and the pain it supposedly caused Ruby. Supposedly, because so far it doesn't seem to have affected her at all, neither mentally nor emotionally.



I could be just reading too much into this. But let's say I'm not, and that the emblems are simbolic. Blake's emblem, for example, at first looks like a flame (or like a flower, based on one of the previous posts). When I look at it close, however, it looks like a Lion. A black one, but still a Lion. Which obviously alludes to her being a cat, and being a Faunus.

Weiss' obviously is an allusion to her Ice Queen image.

Yang's emblem...looks like a burning heart.

This could simbolize her...fieryness. Probably her energy too. And more importantly, her fighting style. Fire burns, and will keep burning. Trying to eliminate it only makes it stronger. Fire will grow, unless you finally extinguish it. I suppose we all now what this means, right?

But now, it's time to turn the table. Let's look at it the other way. Yang's mother abandoned her when she was young. This obviously hurt Yang. And since she was young, she has spent a great deal of her life trying to find her mother. The pain of abandonment, the mistery regarding her mother's reasons for doing so, and more importantly, who was her mother, this all, to diffrerent degrees, hurt - or rather, burned - Yang, and likely still do, and I bet those flaming feelings are the reason Yang wanted to become a huntress. The reasons she told Oobleck were true, but she didn't mention the whole truth.

Am I reading too much into all this? Probably. Does that mean it's not possible? Nope. This could well be very true. The emblems are simbolic, and probably, not just RWBY's.
