You're Rusted

I've been thinking...about why Alyx poisoned Jaune in the Ever After...

According to Jaune's story in RWBY Beyond, he and the lost siblings were good friends at one point. But after visiting the Herbalist, Alyx became untrusting, and accusing Lewis and Jaune of things. So what exactly happened there to provoke such a change?

There is a chance that while at the Herbalist, Alyx breathed in the smoke from burnt Tree leaves, just as Team RWBY did. And as Team RWBY demonstrated, the effects of the smoke causes latent parts of your personality, pent up memories, suppressed feelings, to bubble back up. What would kind of feelings and memories Alyx had that would lead her turning on Jaune?

According to Jaune, Alyx and Lewis were from Vacuo, before the Great War. And what was happening in Vacuo before the Great War?

The kingdom was being occupied by the other kingdoms. Especially Mantle/Atlas, whose dust industry left a significant wound on the land and people. And guess what kind of uniform did Mantle warriors have back then?

Could the Tree-smoke have caused Alyx to connect Jaune to Vacuo's oppressors?

If Penny does come back, it should be as an AI. like from HALO/Red vs Blue, an artificial intelligence computer program that can freely move between machines and so forth.

My reasoning is that the process used to save Penny from Watts' virus was to have Ambrosius use Penny's robot body to make a new body, and her aura becomes a 100% flesh and blood construct. The new robot body then vanishes. But here's the thing. Ambrosius is the spirit of creation, not destruction. So how could he destroy Penny's robot machinery? What if it became pure data itself, and went to the nearest appropriate receptacle.

Also, it would be the ultimate bait-and-switch. After we are told that Penny's robot half was "just extra" that would be the only part still existing. But as Ruby said, "You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?"

RWBY Relic Pieces in Volume 1, Symbolism of the Pieces, and How It Ties To the Broader Narrative.

Did a quick searchup on the symbolism of chess pieces, and taking what I saw into consideration (note that this is very abridged, and possibly not entirely correct):

CRDL and the Black Bishop

Bishops are representative of religion, as well as spirituality, morality, and wisdom, and a direct reference to Cardin's mythological reference, the Cardinal of Winchester. In regards to the broader narrative that RWBY sets up, he can be considered V1's partial representation of the institution of Huntsmen, more specifically the deeply flawed and darker side standing opposite to the better/neutral aspects of Huntsmen that RWBY/JNPR represent, due to being a racist bully who stands against Grimm, yet also willfully persecutes and harms the people he's supposed to fight for, such as minority groups like Faunus and (given Jaune at this point is basically a civilian in huntsmen's clothing and training wheels) the people depending on the circumstances. Also acts as a form of foreshadowing to the other deeply flawed or outright bad huntsmen we'd come to see later in the series, as well as highlighting the lack of wisdom and morality that can blight the institutions that Huntsmen are supposed to be, represent and protect.

The Black pieces in chess always move second, which highlights how the Huntsmen are a highly reactive organization, and how this severely limits their ability to truly tackle the bigger problems regarding threats like the Grimm, Salem, society's deep internal problems, and in the bigger picture, Ozpin's divine mission.

JNPR and the White Rook

Rooks are representative of the land, being symbolic of the fortress that guards a city or land and its royalty, and how they essentially "guard" the other pieces, as well as representing stability. The majority of JNPR come from civilians compared to the likes of RWBY, with this becoming completely the case after Pyrrha's death and Oscar's inclusion, and they're shown consistently throughout the series as having the strongest connections to civilians on a personal level. They also frequently as the bedrock and stabilizing influence, through Jaune, Nora and Ren's friendships and roles as supporting characters. Being white pieces also highlights how as time goes on, they would develop an increasingly proactive role through the questioning of the narrative told to them by the metaphorical "royals" (in this case, Ozpin's secret circle) and the latter's failure to actually protect them.

This is especially notable in regards to Jaune, Nora, and from a story perspective Ren, given how the former consistently questions Ozpin and his inner circle's shadier actions throughout most of V4 - V8, and Nora and Ren were failed miserably and made orphans due to the lack of huntsmen and the society around them failing to protect them, while putting them into a situation where their only recourse is to become part of the system that failed them.

RWBY and the White Knight

Knight pieces are representative of the medieval military, fitting given the status of Huntsmen, as well as being considered adventurous, valorous, and unpredictable due to their unique fighting style allowing them a level of unpredictability that other pieces don't have, fitting of how RWBY are the main proactive force to pushing Ozpin and the true nature of the secret war against Salem out into uncharted territory, forcing them to actually change and grow.

Knights are also often historically drawn from nobility, much like how every major character in RWBY has some kind of tie to Remnant's most illustrious groups or some kind of major player (Ruby and Yang being part of major Huntsmen lineages, Weiss being a rich heiress to the most powerful corporation in the world, and Blake being effectively the Princess of the Faunus, as well as having ties to the most prominent civil rights activists and movements in all iterations of the White Fang).

Much like JNPR, they are far more proactive compared to the royals they serve, actively pushing the latter outside their comfort zone in a two-pronged attack alongside JNPR, but the series also strives to highlight and deconstruct the messier aspects of their relationship as huntsmen (and thus a form of warrior caste/mercenary, with the following tension in that relationship with the people they are trying to protect) and how the unpredictable nature of their changes results in as much positive and messier forms of change, for better or worse.

This got way longer than I thought it would.

The predicted dynamic between Raven and Winter

Winter: All hands report to the firing range!

(Nobody moves)

Winter: Come on, people! DOUBLE TIME! MOVE IT!

(Still nobody moves)

Raven: You heard the lady. Firing range. Now.

(Everyone bolts)

Winter: I hate you, Raven.

Raven: That's not hate, Winter. That's envy.

Just to remind everyone that I am still writing my TMNT x RWBY crossover.

But just for fun, if the cliche comic book 'heroes throw down for some convoluted reason' event happens, who would win?

For this match up to be even, let's say that the Turtles have the mystic powers they had during the TMNT 2003 "Demon Shredder" arc, AKA, the fifth season, but they only have their normal weapons, not the mystic ones.
