Dance Dance Infiltration[]
| “ | I've been blessed with incredible talents and opportunities; I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise; but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place. Everyone assumes I'm too good for them - that I'm on a level that they simply can't attain. It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people. That's what I like about you: when we met, you didn't even know my name; you treated me like anyone else. And thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. I guess, you're the kind of guy I wish I was here with - someone who just saw me for me. | ” |

—Pyrrha, before she knows what becoming the Maiden may do to her
Destiny[]

—Pyrrha, on destiny

RWBY: Amity Arena[]
| “ | We all win when we work together. | ” |
—Pyrrha upon being deployed
| “ | Pyrrha Nikos, unbeknownst to many, is actually an accomplished marksman. Due to her melee combat prowess and the fact that she carries a shield, many forget that Milo is "also a gun." Furthermore, this is made even more confusing by Miss Nikos' tendency to throw Milo in spear form when given the opportunity to do so. Heck, she even throws Akuo all the time! Judging from her combat footage, we are guessing that Miss Nikos has a Semblance that allows her to retrieve her thrown weapons. Yes... it must be... telekinesis! We're sure of it! "Whoa, you can control poles..." -Ruby | ” |
—RWBY: Amity Arena
About Pyrrha[]
| “ | Maidens choose themselves. I simply believe I've found the right candidate. Ever since the day I met her, I had the feeling she would be the one. She's strong, intelligent, caring... but most importantly, she's ready. | ” |
—Ozpin, on choosing Pyrrha to be the next Fall Maiden in "Never Miss a Beat"
| “ | Pyrrha thought that if there was even the smallest chance of helping someone, then it was a chance worth taking. And because of that, she died fighting a battle she knew she couldn't win. | ” |
—Ruby telling Oscar about Pyrrha's death
| “ | IN HONOR OF PYRRHA NIKOS, ONE OF MANY STUDENTS WHO FOUGHT VALIANTLY AT THE FALL OF BEACON | ” |
—Pyrrha's epitaph in "Lost"
| “ | She trained here, Sanctum Academy. Everyone was crushed when she chose Beacon over Haven. No one wanted to see her go, but... it was where she wanted to be. I'm just glad she was surrounded by such amazing people. | ” |
—the red-haired woman to Jaune
| “ | She understood that she had a responsibility... to try. I don't think she would regret her choice, because a Huntress would understand that there really wasn't a choice to make. And a Huntress is what she always wanted to be. | ” |
—the red-haired woman to Jaune, about Pyrrha's choice
| “ | Pyrrha never got the chance to graduate... But she was a Huntress. | ” |
—Jaune to the red-haired woman
| “ | I think... I think she knew she wasn't going to win. That she might not come out alive. But... she also knew she was the only one that could try. | ” |
—Jaune to Nora and Ren about Pyrrha's choice before she died during the Fall of Beacon
| “ | Pyrrha may not be by our side anymore, but we can fight like she is. | ” |
—Nora, to Jaune and Ren about Pyrrha
