Now that the expositional segment of the show is over, does anyone want to share any cool theories that are almost definitely not true? Or any theories they had that were disproved?

I, for one, originally thought that Summer Rose was someone who appeared during the Great War and was remembered for having silver eyes, wearing a hooded cape, and being very skilled despite her young age. In my theory, she was reborn/reincarnated into Ruby, and that was why Ozpin let her in early. I also thought they might be considered the opposite of Grimm, reborn every time humanity faced extinction, or something like that.

As for a cool theory that probably isn't true: I think it would be cool if main female characters became the four Maidens, but not just Team RWBY (if Ruby becomes a maiden I will be seriously upset). For example, Nora would be a decent Summer Maiden, although Remnant as a whole would despair the day she obtained unimaginable power. I wouldn't mind WBY becoming Maidens (although it would be really cool if they didn't succumb to the obvious Weiss = Winter and Yang = Summer bit). Particularly, I think Blake could become an excellent Spring Maiden. And if Emerald ended up deserting Cinder once she realizes Cinder never really cared about her, it would be deliciously ironic for her to get the Fall Maiden powers.
