Flood of theroies incoming:

Beret is feasible as a leader if we look at Beacon's team leaders as a team/with a team dynamic of their own: Ruby is The Chick, Jaune is The Leader, Cardin is The Lancer and Beret is The Smart Guy. The Big Guy has yet to make an appearance or someone doubles as Big Guy.

I first thought of Glenda Goodwitch as a student when I saw Beret's silhouette, so it would be awesome if the two were related. Maybe Mother/Daughter or Aunt/Niece?

When someone mentioned Blades looked like the Prince of Persia, I thought of "One Thousand and One Nights" as possible reference material. There should be enough stories/characters in there after all.

As for name themes, has anybody entertained the thought of fabrics as a theme? I mean, we already have Velvet, so it is possible. Though the only ones I know that have a V in them that isn't the first letter would be Kevlar and Canvas. Considering that "no vovels" seems to apply to team names, that leaves us with CNVS. While I would personally like a name like Cashmere for Beret, Nylon seems to be the only fabric that starts with N and I can't picture Blades named Nylon. Then again, if he were to wear a nylon shirt...

If you look closely, it seems like Blades' top has no sleeves. That, plus the nylon shirt theory above could make him a Mr. Fanservice. We know Yang would approve!
