Honestly, one way they could've done some better foreshadowing without just giving it away (like they did with Blake being a Faunus and Penny being a robot) would have been for them to put a little more focus on fairy tales before volume 3. And not just "I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed."

No, like, have characters talking about specific fairy tales. I dunno, have Ruby or Yang say something about Ruby's childhood pretend games often revolving around fairy tales, where she'd pretend to be one of the characters and act out the story or act out new stories for the characters. Have Ruby make some comment, at some point (probably at Summer's gravestone), about one of the few memories she has of Summer being that, when she was a child, Summer used to tell her fairy tales are true stories. That can easily be taken as just a mom bringing magic to a child's life, without us assuming that she legit fucking meant it! Maybe have something, like a comment or a brief flashback, about Summer making a comment about silver eyes or something! If they didn't want to settle on a voice for Summer yet, they could've had Ruby quoting her over the flashback 2D image!
