I get what you mean though. Three volumes in, and we're still waiting. Honestly, if RT wanted an ensemble cast show, why did they name the damn thing RWBY?!

Why not "Remnant", or "Dust", or "HaloRvBFantasy-Men".

It just hasn't been a very accurate title so far. In terms of screen time? No. In terms of relevance and plot? Yes.

Team RWBY is the only group of characters who have done something while the rest is just there for the slice of life plot that happens in the school. By making Pyrrha the guardian and having her on Cinder's list, that's JNPR's ticket to start doing something instead of pure character development that doesn't make a difference in the story given that their role is minimal if compared to Team RWBY.

Plus Ozpin said she's ready. Ruby is not ready. Pyrrha is the strongest, wisest and caring character that we know of. She has her flaws but none of these reduce her abilities in combat which might be what Ozpin is looking for. And yet, her being promoted and put on a pedestal is literally the one thing Pyrrha has expressed a dislike of in the show.

Why the grin, then?

Moving even further, Ozpin mentions having met the canidate he considers "ready". Interestingly, Ozpin has only met one (technically two) of his students face to face-guess who those are?

Ruby, and Blake.

Ozpin has never in the entire show had a moment of interaction with Pyrrha.

I sense her being a red herring.

Wearing red hair-rings. That's something we still gotta find out. There are tons of things that are not explained in the show no matter how little sense these make:


 * Ruby's sadness for Summer's death was never even mentioned until this Volume.


 * Jaune's lack of training despite coming from a family of warriors is still a mystery.


 * Pyrrha working so hard to keep her title even though this is the cause of her isolation might get explained next episode.

Plus Ozpin has never interacted with Pyrrha on screen just like Blake has never interacted with JNPR yet she trusts them enough to let Weiss that she's secretly a faunus.
