—Pyrrha, after unintentionally flinging a branch into Jaune's face
“
For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee.
(Jaune is hanging onto a Death Stalker's tail) Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let- (the Death Stalker flicks its tail and launches Jaune across the forest) ... go.
Jaune, everybody needs a little push from time to time. It doesn't make you any different from the rest of us. You made it to Beacon! That speaks volumes of what you're capable of!
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.

When I think of destiny, I don't think of a predetermined fate you can't escape. But rather... some sort of final goal, something you work towards your entire life.

None of it makes sense! This isn't how things were supposed to happen!

I've always felt as though I was destined to become a Huntress - to protect the world... and it's become increasingly clear to me that my feelings were right. But... I don't know if I can do it.
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!

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Pyrrha may not be by our side anymore, but we can fight like she is.
