Why is that the irst time a Grim has been seen by someone of Ruby's generation?

Who is the Transient Princess?

Weiss already had the scar before she started fighting the armor.

What are the "variety of personal and political reasons?"

Why would Roman be pressured by Crimson? Couldn't they be working at the same level? The Transient Princess is the name of the Monty Oum original picture that they used in the Yellow Trailer for the image of the woman Yang was tracking on her PDA.

The Grim having long been absent just seems 'right' in story terms. As they seem to be a force determined to destroy civilisation, I suspect that, between their cyclic rises, they are mostly unseen and those who do see them rarely live to tell the tale. This enables the writers to create a degree of popular scorn when our heroes start warning of their imminent return. Shades of the Council's response to Shepherd's early reports about the Reapers.

I imaging that people like Ozpin have been working for Fauna rights for a long time. It suits this campaign to have a Fauna-hybrid in the academy and later as a Huntress; I also suspect that the writers may choose to give him a personal stake in this.

Sanguis already explained about Crimson.
