'''Facts '''

-        Ruby visited a grave with ‘Summer Rose’ carved onto it.

-        Weiss was given a test of arms, and she succeeded at the price of a scar on her face.

-        Blake was a team with Adam (robbing?) but she left him at the end of the trailer.

-        Yang is searching for a missing girl. She finds Junior, the information broker who was said to know everything. Ruby appeared to be headed towards the bar in the end as well.

'''Assumption '''

With exception of Yang and Ruby, neither of the girls knew each other personally.

They’re all self-sustainable, with exception of Weiss who’s born into a wealthy family.

'''Yang First Theory '''

The first theory is that Yang is a cop or private investigator of some sort. I’m actually surprised that it took a while for this to click into me, mainly because Yang’s attitude was so… rough.



There are several facts that may support this fact. First, if you look at my pre-stated assumptions above, all the girls here are self-sustainable, and if you don’t understand it means that they can feed themselves without leeching off someone else. Yang’s gauntlets are obviously custom made, and the way she spends bullets (and causing situations where she will spend unnecessary bullets) suggests that she’s pretty well off and was not in danger of starving herself to death. Another would be her clothes, which looked to be carefully chosen and even custom-tailored to give her a vibrant, confident look. To put it bluntly, if a girl can afford some clothes, she can afford to feed herself too, period. XD



But I’m getting off topic. Anyway, being self-sustainable means that Yang has a job. But why a cop/private investigator? Why not a baker, a white collar, a waiter, a mechanic, a maid… yeah, I think you can see what I mean. Yang simply wasn’t the type who would sit in an office all day drinking coffee and typing on computers. First, we refer to her appearances: the scarf gives her a cowboy look which may or may not hint that she was a law enforcer, but if anything Yang seems to be the type who thinks herself as an ally of justice.

<p class="MsoNormal">Another evidence would be when she interrogated Junior, Yang forced him to call her ‘sir’. It is common (I think) to address a superior or higher ranking officer, ‘yes sir’, and although I’d like to say that this proves that she’s a police, I personally think that she just watched too much drama or something. More importantly, if she was indeed a police or a gangster there was no way Junior wouldn’t recognize her with that personality. It would be like ignoring an elephant at your backyard, and the animal was readying to mow down your house! XD

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">This also means that the town Yang visited was not her home but somewhere else, because otherwise ‘the man who knows everything’ would know her regardless, especially since her appearance is so vivid. Though I guess it could mean that she was a law enforcer from somewhere else who was given a ‘long vacation’… or she simply ignored orders to investigate a case… whatever. At any rate, one thing we know for sure is that Yang is acting at her own accord, because there’s no one in the entire world who knew Yang who would send her out to collect information.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">At the moment it is impossible to guess who the girl she’s trying to find is, but looking at the blurry photo it seems to be the back of a person (unless the picture’s three dimensional and Junior was actually seeing the girl’s face and in that case my speculations below would be screwed), so I’ll just make a simple pull-from-my-ass assumption: Let’s assume that this is a missing person case, and Yang is investigating to find and rescue the missing girl. But that wouldn’t make sense because if that was true, she should’ve been able to procure a clearer and better photo to use than just that. It looks like she only have one photo only too (since she didn’t show Junior more), so perhaps we can assume she took it using her phone.

<p class="MsoNormal">To draw Yang’s attention you would need two things: One is obvious – fighting, and the other (I guess) is injustice. For Yang to explore into places she’s never been before just to find that one girl means that either she knew the girl personally (and she went missing), or something extraordinary happened when she was with the girl (hence the ‘long story’ comment). It is even possible that the Yang was hunting for the elusive girl who has escaped from her again and again, with the process involving lots and lots of fighting. >_> <ac_metadata title="RWBY Yang Theory:"> </ac_metadata>
