I just have a feeling it could go this way, or not, as her mother died and she had them as well. It was a little annoying when Qrow started going on about how she was special, and that she came from a legendary line of warriors and I have a feeling that she is going to become extremely overpowered in the show. It would really start to take away from the show as it's about teamwork and not muh power level. I have to admit that in the final episode of Volume 3, I cringed when she screamed and completely decimated everything. Hopefullyn it doesn't get too ridiculous, and they at least tone it down. Also does anybody feel as if Jaune's story could practically be gone by now. When I first started watching I thought he was going to become a very prominent character, as they stated he has a lot of Aura and had a large amount of potential, but as we see in the final episode he is just a whiny baby who cries and can't do anything, which sucks as he was one of the more likable characters prior to Volume 3. Hopefully he and other characters get developed more as the show goes on. It will be a real bummer if the show slowly starts to become Ruby and not RWBY. Also rip Pyrrha. :( Jaune is the up and coming Gary to Ruby's blooming Mary. He has a tone of Aura and comes form a long line of Heroes. Pyrrha's death is going to be the start of his rise to fame. The series will probably be fine. I mean, look at Weiss, she was fighting waves of Knights, White Fang, and then was fighting the Paladins. Then she managed to summon, and after a few tired breaths was later seen perfectly fine. Which was infinitely more impressive than what we got from Ren who was seemingly exhausted from constantly shooting things, and Nora who we only saw fire two grenades and then take a punch. Translate that with the rest of the mains... they'll be fine, or at least more useful than other teams. It's not that they're Mary/Gary/Marty/Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way Sues, it's just some are clearly better than others, sometimes for a good reason, sometimes not. You have forgotten the one, only truth of anime: power levels are bullsh*t. (Besides, as far as we know, Ren and Nora has been tanking hits all night from the paladins).

Besides, there's worse things to come now that RNJR is in the wild, with plenty of stronger Grimm to be seen.
