Fall
| “ | The Maidens have existed for thousands of years, but much like in nature, the seasons change. No two summers are alike.

—Glynda, explaining the succession of Maidens to Pyrrha Nikos
| “ | At first, the only thing that was certain was that the powers were specifically passed onto young women, but as time went on, it was discovered that the selection process was much more intimate.

—Glynda scolds Team CFVY

—Glynda assigns CFVY work
Chapter 17
| “ | As much as we've been worried about your safety while you've been here, you've shown that those concerns are unnecessary. I'm proud that you will be going out into the world to complete your training, and I have no doubt you will be exemplary Huntsmen and Huntresses–because you already are. | ” |
—Glynda, to Team CFVY
| “ | You won't have the privilege of hearing Professor Ozpin deliver his graduation speech, but there's one thing he tells every class that I want to share with you. Beacon Academy is not a place. It is an idea, which has taken root in each and every one of you. YOU are Beacon, and you must now go forth and serve as a hopeful light for others. It is your privilege and your burden as Huntsmen and Huntresses to protect not only those who cannot defend themselves, but to watch out for each other, always. | ” |
—Glynda recalls Ozpin's graduation speech to CFVY
| “ | Now get out of here. That last bit was part of his speech, too. He always kicked students out after that. He hated long goodbyes, and so do I. | ” |
—Glynda talks about Ozpin's farewells
RWBY: The Grimm Campaign
| “ | What follows are my reports on the Kuchinashi Incident: this log is frustratingly scattered, pieced together over several months from a series of testimonies given by Huntsman, operators, travelers and those whispers that escape the darkness within Mistral’s borders. Like many of the reports we received from the region much of it is rumor and hearsay and while we can collaborate many of the larger events, those that affect too many of Mistral to have been swept under the rug, the specific of the details are lost–only kept by those who know the rugs under which to peek. As I know you have a fondness for stories, I’ve recorded what I have summarized from intel as such including dossiers from the Huntsman and Huntresses of note. Happy reading, Headmaster. | ” |
—Glynda's message, opening the story of RWBY: The Grimm Campaign Season 1
| “ | Headmaster, I appreciate the details you sent me in regards to the incident in Kuchinashi. As noted in our previous correspondence, the log is frustratingly incomplete, but there are a number of loose threads at which we continue to pull. I must confess my own curiosity about the particular questions you’ve raised. Especially concerning the items of antiquity. Perhaps my records and findings would be of more use to you if you could provide me with more information. Is there something specifically you hope to find? Some tale you’ve heard which might help me focus my search? As you yourself mentioned it can be difficult to operate with a picture only half filled in. A picture which, I presume, you have a different perspective on than myself. But to my knowledge, here are a few more scratches to decipher, and while I appreciate and respect the great and powerful Ozpin and his many secrets, what aren’t you telling me about Team SAFR? | ” |
—Glynda's message, opening the story of RWBY: The Grimm Campaign Season 2

RWBY: The Official Manga
Chapter 1
| “ | He is the top suspect of Dusts Robberies that have plagued Vale as of late. Truth be told, we've been largely unable to prevent these crimes. Which makes your recent action particularly heroic... and a deed worthy of praise. | ” |
—Glynda, to Ruby talking about Roman and her actions
| “ | On that day... you a single student from Signal, took up arms... against a vicious criminal who gives even Huntsmen a run for their money. No. That's not courage. It's recklessness. | ” |
