Winter wont become the Winter Maiden
Okay time for the theory goggles to get back on. And yes I am aware this theory will be seen as a stretch. But as a writer. There is a possibility. And this latest episode added another piece for me.
It's gonna be Nora Valkyrie everyone.
And I already here you all scrunching your faces and saying.
"Kai, how would that even happen..."
Winter outright states that Ironwood plans to make her the next Winter Maiden. They even show us the current one.
And while I can see how people would believe Winter has a shot, I'm not so sure.
Granted she has been visiting the Winter Maiden for a year. Exchanging pleasantries and stuff. And yes being the only person for Fria to talk to does give more of a chance. But this isnt textbook.
It has been stated clearly. That whoever is in the maiden's final thoughts gains the power.
What does that have to do with Nora? Well I'll tell you.
So at RTX 2019, Miles and Kerry shared some things to look forward to. One of which being more Nora story. And to be fair we have been getting some. Romance angst with Ren, her intense care and insight on Mantle. (Which makes me think she is from this kingdom).
But I feel we can do better.
And why? Why am I so convinced that Nora is the one who will get it in the end?
*Looks directly to CRWBY like off of The Office* "That's right you sly dogs. I caught that!"
SO HERE WE ARE YOU READY?!
We know that in Volume 4, Nora was already orphaned before Ren.
And yes the local kids were teasing her. But they said things to the effect that she looked like she was dressed weird.
Like they weren't used to seeing her type of clothes.
Who is her family you ask?
Her grandmother. Her possibly last relative. I do believe Nora's mother and father had died. Making Fria her sole relative. Who probably raised her.
What I mean is. "IF", and I could be wrong. But I'm throwing my hat in. IF THEY ARE A GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDDAUGHTER. Then there is a chance that Fria never let Nora be erased from her heart. Even if she thinks Nora died in whatever happened that separated them. She would think of her granddaughter as she died. Not Winter.
Dont get me wrong Winter is wonderful. But knowing how crafty the CRWBY can be at times... my money is on Nora until proven otherwise.
I would also like to add two more points.
Fria's eyes are the same color as Nora's, though hopefully we can get a better look at them later on.
Also. Fria's name. Is a different spelling of the name Freya based off of.
The old Norse goddess Freya.
And we all know Nora is based on Thor.
Little fun fact. Thor = Thursday
