The last episode in the RWBY-verse so far seemed to paint the picture that
Cinder Fall shot Pyrrha Nikos, taking Pyrrha's aura. But the question I'm
asking is: Is Pyrrha really gone for good? Me and my friends have been coming
up with good but still questionable theories, but one theory makes sense to
me: Jaune still hasn't unlocked his true Semblance, so maybe Jaune's Semblance
has something to do with Pyrrha's resurrection. I hope so. Please put my
thoughts to rest!

Is Pyrrha Nikos really dead?


I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it is extremely likely that she is
dead.  
[This thread](http://roosterteeth.com/forum/rwby/topic/3207371) is a fairly
good place to look for all the discussion, and I would agree that she
SHOULDN'T be brought back for various stated reasons.  
But the biggest piece of evidence is [the message from Jen
Brown](http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Pyrrha_Nikos), her voice actoress (found
under trivia and shown below).

So it's unlikely that she is coming back, at least not in the way we all know
her. She may make an appearance (with Juane's semblance etc. or something
else), but she is likely gone from the physical standpoint.

Well, it could be possible that: after absorbing some of the Fall Maiden's
power, she gained a Shadow Form, Cinder absorbed her and will be released once
Cinder is dead, or that Cinder faked it (with Emerald/Neo's help) so she could
kidnap her or do SOMETHING without being targetted.
