Talk:Volume 4 Opening/@comment-10390252-20161022174236

Cinder's scars look ugly; a combination of burns and deep traumatic lacerations. It looks like she lost her right eye to the power of the Silver Eyed One; proof that Ruby is equal to or, indeed, stronger than a Maiden. That should make for an interesting rematch when she and Ruby next meet.

I love Blake's kin already; something tells me that, at some point, we are going to hear Qrow call Mr Belladonna 'you old pirate'.

There are four 'generals' standing in the path to Salem. I'm presuming that one is her Pawn in each of the four City-States. We've already encountered Cinder in Vale; if this speculation is correct then the other three will be her 'generals' in Atlas, Vacuo and Mistral. Yes, a Dark Queen with Generals acting as her proxies. This has turned into a magical girl animé!

Finally, the opening seems to strongly suggest that Yang's character arc this year will be as much as her attempting to conquer her psychological scars as anything else. In the end, her enemy, as we saw in the opening, will be her own self and her fear of defeat, not any real physical threat.
