Pre-Volume 1 speculation was crazy. I remember at one point there was a belief that RWBY was an established team, but Blake was the newest member, having replaced another 'B' who represented the colour blue, who had died in combat.

I can also remember liking the idea that Yang was a narcoleptic (and was thus based on Sleeping Beauty). I thought it could result in some cool dream sequences (which turned out to be partially true at the end of Volume 2).
