Before you ask, this is a theory not a story. A theory on how I think Pyrrha could return to RWBY. I know that it might not be possible for her to return and I'm one of those that can't accept her death, but could you at least bear with us on this. Also, don't ask about the chapter for ADOAJ, it's coming!

What if Pyrrha didn't actually die, well let's theorize on how she could still be alive. I do not own RWBY at all and if I did Pyrrha would still be alive and Cinder would have died earlier.

After Pyrrha 'died' her body was transported to Salem. Afterwards the dark queen attempts to revive her Incase Cinder were to fail one day. While doing Salem knows just how hard it'd be to handle her because of her semblance so, her way of having control is wiping her memories.

Her plan is make Pyrrha her puppet and a substitute for a Fall Maiden for that case the 'all mighty powerful Cinder' is to fail. And having her memories gone is a good start, but there was a downside.

Instead of her being a mindless puppet she's confused and scared and doesn't know what happened to her. The thing is, removing her memories was not Salem's real intention. Her intention was to alter them and make them so that Pyrrha thinks that she created her to serve the dark queen herself.

Frustrated with her failed attempt, her new plan was to kill and revive her again. This time she would make sure to alter her memories. But once Pyrrha heard this she then plans to escape, unfortunately she had to sacrifice her own clothes just to barely succeed with her plan.

Where is she going? Who knows, but she just wants to go anywhere but where Salem is. Remember how Cinder dies? Well, afterwards the Fall Maiden powers then get sent to her. She not only becomes more powerful than she ever was before, but she also gains a new set of clothes from receiving them.

She still doesn't have her memories, but she will meet with our heroes soon enough. Whenever she does meet with Jaune or Ruby or the others, it would lead to her running off after she finishes helping them and not too long will she receive flashes of her lost memories accompanied with headaches leaving her to question who Ruby and the others are and why they seem so familiar.

She will remember who they are again and will return. Until that day, it's runaways, headaches, and flashbacks 'till they finally meet and Team JNPR comes back together. That is my theory on how she'll return.

Okay, I know I'm staling but the chapter I'm writing is taking forever to make. Be patient I'll get it done as soon as possible.
