While Salem makes evil creatures and minions, what if the end goal of the Schnee semblance is to make good creatures and minions (whereas now they're limited to just copying and making good versions of the Grimm). Or worse (though probably unlikely), what if the Schnees are being farmed into being replacements for Salem when she needs a successor to create more Grimm? I actually wouldn't be too surprised... Ruby is apparently super OP and related to some ancient and super important legend. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that all 4 will end up as having pasts related to some important myth too.

I've had the thought before that the Grimm are almost like the Schnee's summoning Semblance, but on steroids. I was wondering how they might be related. Maybe not antithetical to each other but they do have some interesting similarities. I wonder...if I'm right (which I CANNOT be, because that theory is bananas), would Winter be involved with this? I have a feeling she'll be drawn into this and become Salem's replacement/host/thingy due to her skill with the semblance. She might have had her mind broken before this from the revelation (god, now I'm thinking of Berserk, with Winter as Griffith).
