I have a feeling Velvet may end up getting quite a lot of character development given her popularity. Also I think everyone on RWBY going to end up with a major on-screen adult character that is a foil secondary character for them. Likely: Ruby and Qrow, Yang and The Transient Princess, Blake and the White Fang Leader (or her former guardian.... could possibly be Adam since we don't have an age for him) and Mr. Schnee. Of course I don't think any of them will appear until they've got the characterisation of the secondary or tertiary characters out of the way and likely started development of Yang, Cinder and Velvet. (like during or after Volume 3 or Season 2 Volume 1 depending on formatting of the show.

Summer Rose's development will come during Ruby arcs. For some reason I don't see her being a major on-screen character. I think she's either already or, if she isn't, will only get some small end of arc dialogue.
