I think it was for drama; it also could be that there's some unknown reason that we haven't yet figured out. For instance: since the "Grimmified Pyrrha" theory (the idea that Pyrrha is going to return as a creature like Salem) has grown in popularity, maybe she's supposed to come back that way, but have her reveal Salem and her faction isn't as bad as the characters and audience think. After all, a trusted friend like her would be more reasonable to believe that someone like, say, Watts, Hazel, or even Emerald.Right now, even though I have fears, I think the best we can do is just hope he, and the new writers, knew what he was doing and if not, then we accept he's still just a man and can make mistakes. Doesn't mean he's ruined RWBY; we just accept that it's not perfect because he wrote it.If it happens, I'm sure they will.Besides, I don't think they'll make her a Mary Sue; I meant to say her status as a deconstruction as one could lend itself to her return as a deconstruction. One idea I had, for instance, is that she returns, but has PTSD from her fight with Cinder and therefore can go and fight because it brings the memories of her death back too often. A part of her character arc then will be her having to psychologically heal from the event.That is true, that is true...
