And honestly, what they'd have to say would be pretty crazy because even with Qrow around there's no proof. Exactly. There's no way a random person would be able to piece everything together and get the complete picture.

I have an OC who is obsessed with experimenting and investigating Dust and new properties of it, and has vague knowledge of the Maidens' existence through folklore. But, she is under the impression that they use powerful forms of Dust (not magic as been made explicit), and even after Sherlock Scanning the battle ground that Cinder and Co. fought Amber (since covered up, which she deduces), all she can come up with is that a battle was fought there between people and involved Dust powers and somehow involved elemental powers impossible with any form of Dust she knows, and that the fight was covered up to not arouse suspicion, guessing there was an organization trying to keep whatever happened involving the power source secret.

It's a lead and more than anyone in the show would know, but she still has no idea of the Maiden's actual powers or the bigger conspiracy involving the Ozluminati, let alone Salem's existence (which combined with learning about the Four Relics would probably break her mind, since she's based off of Lovecraft's works). There are only so many clues out in the world and no one can get the full picture without the ones in the know giving a full explanation.
