It could otherwise very well just be the kids inbetween the events of the seasons and thus before certain events and deaths. The crew have said that Chibi is not canon, but even if they hadn't told us, we'd know anyway because...

1. We had a skit where Ruby was like "Pyrrha?! But I saw you die!!"

2. We had a skit where Team RWBY talked about the "shadow people" background characters from Volume 1 as if they were actually completely black like shadows in-universe. They weren't that way in-universe. The crew just didn't have enough time to make proper background characters during Volume 1, and background characters were pretty low on the priority list.
