RWBY v9 E10 spoilers. If you haven't seen it, don't read on!!!

Okay so, theory time: I think Neo becomes Alyx. Maybe that was obvious, and I'm just stupid, but still. The whole thing about healing her broken heart (like how Curious Cat tried to possess Alyx, filling her heart and all that- sorry to be a bit incoherent I'm just so ajdjnajdkajdjs about this ep), and the blacksmith literally picked up Alyx's knife as the suggested Neo could "become something new". Not sure how the time travel stuff works but I'm sure the blacksmith has those kinds of powers, considering, well, everything.

Just, everything about finding herself, and the thing in the opening where Neo's position gives way to be the same as Alyx's when she's lying on the beach;;;; yeah this is my headcanon now.

Also, I've seen some poeple say that if Neo comes back, they're expecting her to speak, like "finding herself" would somehow "fix" her, but being non verbal doesn't mean she's broken, and it's actually really important to see this representation, even if it's of an antagonist. I hope she comes back to teach everyone sign language.

Spoilers over

Safe to read after this!!!

You know... Neo has an army of rather grimm-like monsters now...

Consider: Ruby vs. Neo features Ruby utterly ripping and tearing through Neo’s army of Jabberwalkers in what ends up being a DARK reprise of the Red Trailer.

Complete with Red Like Roses Part III which turns out to be Ruby’s FUCK THIS SHIT song.

What about her?

She’ll find herself, one way or another.

Neo: kill yourself

Ruby: *kills self*

Neo:

i just remembered how much of Neo's story in Roman Holiday was about the ableism she faced being mute. How much she hated being forced to use that text-to-speech app, being forced to speak in a voice that wasn't hers.

And now she's just a mouthpiece for the Curious Cat. It's actually making me feel sick thinking about it now

"What about Neo?"

"She will have the opportunity to return her broken heart"

"And become something new"

"Such is balance"

Be free, little princess. I am going to miss you. I hope you return, but if you don't, I wish you find happiness ♥️

“What about her?”

“She’ll find herself. One way or another.”

Thinking about how this entire volume Weiss, Blake and Yang have all been getting the cool, badass fight scenes while Ruby has been forced to the sidelines.

And how this is ABSOLUTELY building to Ruby finally getting her big ‘she’s back’ fight where she likely gets to CUT FUCKING LOOSE.

Probably on Neo and her army of Jabberwalkers.

before v9 aired: the only way neo would be able to use her semblance to fool anyone is if she used it for a quick distraction for a surprise attack / to gain upper hand; it would not work long term since neo is mute.

now that the jabberwalker clones talk: trust no one not even yourself, all bets are off, we're going back to v3 mood: smirk and it's on sight
