On a minor note, the comic is X-Ray and Vav.

More importantly, I don't agree that Cinder is posing as a student. I think she is pretending to be a teacher. After all, Ozpin may have remarked that headmasters don't usually come along with the students, but schools will certainly send some faculty members. There's no way they would just send a good portion of their student body to some magor, official, event completely unsupervised.

In fact, Cinder might might actually be a staff member of the school, and Mercury and Emerald might actually be students. Cinder's first appearance was before the school year started, and she only reappeared with Merc and Em after other people started arriving for the festival.

Thoughts?
