Friendly reminder time.
Yang will become the Summer maiden.
Weiss will become the Winter maiden.
Blake will become the Fall maiden.
Pyrrha will return as a Grimm hybrid, and then become the Spring maiden, cleansing her of the taint forced upon her soul by Salem.
The
Ruby will remain a silver eyed maiden and lead the four of them against Salem's forces.
Jaune will petition his father for military aid to launch an assault on Salem, for he is a baron with a lot of pull that can make things happen.
Nora will follow Jaune wherever he goes, and the two of them will end up together for a time.
Ren will die.
Arkos and Lancaster will not happen, for Jaune will die protecting Nora from the same person that killed Ren, and Nora will die in the following volume while getting her revenge for both the men she loved.
The first member of JNPR to die will be the only one alive in the end.
Qrow is the next major character to die.
Yang will pull herself out of her slump and go searching for Ruby at the end of the volume, not Blake.
Weiss and Blake will be the first members of RWBY to reunite at the end of this volume.
RNJR will disband at the end of the volume when Ruby is separated from them. JNR will carry on with their own plot for a time.
Most of volume 5 will be
>Weiss and Blake trying to fix human/faunus relations together.
>Yang and Ruby going on platonic sister adventures.
>JNR doing a thing where Jaune finally gets to shine as his own man without Pyrrha or Ruby as a crutch.
Yang is going to great Blake by punching her in the face. Ruby and Weiss will have to step in and pull them apart. They will make up. Yang will cry first, then Blake. It will end with a hug.
Raven is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now. Abandoning Tai and Yang broke her heart. She didn't want to do it, but she had to for the sake of her almost two decade long undercover mission for Ozpin.
Yang and Raven will reconcile.
Raven will die shortly after.
