Blake's child self has bigger ears than she has now. Or it simply never grew up from that size since childhood. How weird.

And I've said it before, though I may reword it differently this time since I don't remember what I said, if you want a girlfriend, get Blake. If you want a wife, still get Blake. She just melts hearts, people. XD

As for Cinder, well... I get the feeling that she's an old woman retaining her youth or something. I'm almost one hundred percent sure she has fought Ozpin's gang (Along with Glynda, Port, Oobleck, Qrow, heck, maybe even Roman) before.

As for Roman, I get the feeling that he's the trickery type who never tries too hard or work things the honest way. His style of fighting is mainly trickery, and he bails when things do not look good for him (well, that's exactly how he fights in fact). So yes, while his battle experience allowed him to handle Blake + Sun with ease (even though they finally got in a hit at the end of the duel, it was really just a hit), team RWBY's growth next time would surprise him big time.

And Blake was countered. They're both the same type of fighters really, but Roman is just so much trickier than the simple Blake was.
