Raven-Abandoned daughter and husband to go do ambiguosly dark, evil things.

Taiyang-Heartbroken with loss of wives/lovers, became poor father to the point that he made his brother-in-law look after his kids for him.

Qrow-Entire team disentigrated around him while he could only watch, now he spys for Ozpin and seems to be a raging drunk.

Summer-Dead. Fucking dead. Raven abandoned her daughter, that much is true. We don't know if Taiyang was her husband and we don't know why she left either, so saying "ambiguos dark evil things" is pure unbased speculation.

Taiyang is a teacher just like Qrow, so why would he have economical issues? Qrow is just Ruby's teacher in her former combat school but since he's also her uncle, it makes sense that he would take care of her while in said school.

Again, we don't know if he spies for Ozpin. He sent a message but that doesn't mean he works for him. And just because he's seen drinking once(although in broad daylight) it doesn't mean he's a hopeless alcoholic like many assume.

Summer, dead indeed. 1.) We don't know what she's doing, but if I saw someone who looked like a Katana-Wielding demon appear out of a blood red portal, a portal which has been viewed in opposiiton to team RWBY since the volume 1 intro, then I feel that the "Ambigious dark evil things" line is deserved.

2.) No, poor as in a bad father. He "just shut down" remember? He didn't even realize his daughters had run away into a life threatening situation untill Qrow saved them from being killed. That's not a good parent.

3.) Ninja'd by Chisio-Also, no, it doesn't, but initial impression is very important for building a viewers intial concept of who a character is. If the first thing RT chose to show of Qrow was him getting sloshed in a bar, I wonder what that says about him?

4.) Big time. 1)  She looks dark end evil? Maybe. That doesn't mean she's doing evil things.

2) Fair enough about Taiyang.

3) I missed that line with Qrow, you are right about it then. I still wouldn't describe Qrow as an alcoholic based on one scene though.
