@ChishioKunrin I never said they were related, barring perhaps the fact that Ruby seriously hero worships Qrow.

Like I said, this is just a theory by a nutcase I know (and I admit he first told me this before Reese's character was revealed), but my understanding was that it was akin to Peter Petrelli in Heroes, who just needed to meet and have some manner of connection to that person to do so.

The autumn connections in Ruby's design mostly stem from classical symbolism. Traditionally, a scythe was used to harvest grain before it was replaced with horse power and later tractor based methods.

The big thing for me about Qrow maybe having a speed semblance himself is the fact that he is he's a fast fighter while drunk, proven by his fight with Winter. Alcohol slows down our reaction times, this being the main reason drink-driving is illegal. This poses the question to me.

How fast is he when he's sober?
