4. The power was in Pyrrha for a bit, but since the connection/completion from Amber hadn't finished, everything withdrew/got sucked back out of Pyrrha before exiting Amber and transferring to Cinder, so I highly doubt she has anything residual. 3. Raven may end up just being chaotic neutral, but then again, maybe she gave Qrow soft information to keep him off her trail? I don't know. We're obviously missing very large chunks of her current situation and what led her there. For me, it's less hard facts (GTFO, I know, right?) but more about a gut feeling. I'm kind of hoping she pops in next episode, if only so we don't have wait an entire season after that Yang easter egg dream to see her again.

4. I wonder if Cinder got Amber's powers, but maybe Pyrrha got part of her soul somehow? Also, considering I don't care for Jaune, at all, even I can't fault him for being distracted. I am irked that this world shaking, centuries old secret that was so damn important, is tossed aside because ... they needed Jaune for protection? It would have made more sense to leave him at the door, at least then when Cinder tore him apart, it would have bought Pyrrha and Ozpin some time to complete the transfer.

(Plus, when shows kill off secondaries, they usually bring them to the front of the plot for a while to up the emotional impact a bit.) That being said, I would place odds on Velvet, Coco or Qrow. (Maybe even Jaune, but that's more wishful thinking on my part, bitch that I am.) 3. I understand gut feeling, but after watching as many shows as I have my gut says it's not her. We really need to actually see her though; it's really starting to drive me mad.

4. Maybe. Though the interaction with having someone inside a characters mind would be interesting, I just don't see any reason for it to happen. Plus, the power transfers when she's dead, which should mean her soul(aura) is gone. Otherwise the power would still be attracted to it and find its way back to Pyrrha. As for Jaune, that makes perfect tactical sense, but then we'd lose a fairly main character written and acted by a writer of the show. Wishful thining though :P

Why would we hate Neo... how could she interact with the cast now that she's 'fallen... with style'? I really can't come up with much. The only thing that comes to mind is stabbing someone out of the blue (Jaune or an injured RWBY teammate) when the group retreats to the forest and decides to face off against them all in her rage. Remember... we still have the valentines hint that has me thinking something will separate Jaune and Pyrrha. (Maybe a fight with Merc/Em?)
