I genuinely couldn't give less of a shit about Alyx. The writers clearly didn't put any thought into her story which is why they have to keep things so vague. All they needed her there for was to be a plot device to fix Jaune and someone for Ruby to constantly be compared to for seemingly no reason whatsoever seeing as their character "arcs" if you want to call them that, have almost nothing to do with one another. I had no expectations for V9 and still Rwby managed to find ways to go further below. Almost 3 years and this is what they came up with.

My theory is far worse, and also far more fitting within Rooster Teeth's idiosyncrasies. Alyx, is Juniper. The Curious Cat's words weren't 'she wanted to fix everything'. They were she wanted to save Jaune. The blacksmith said that she wanted to mend what she'd broken in Jaune. Jaune said that after Alyx poisoned him, Juniper came and found him and took him to the Paper Pleasers who saved him. The Blacksmith, said it herself in episode 10, the tree created the brothers. In episode 9, she said that she was essentially the embodiment of the tree. Therefore, she predates the brothers, so cannot, in any way, shape or form, be Alyx.

I like how the heroes are ‘supposedly’ to learn from Alyx, whether that be from the person she was in the Ever After up until her death, but the writer’s couldn’t give two shits about Alyx as a character. I swear, they just bring up a story that’s based off Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and that’s it. They’ll mention what the character did every now and then, but what was really the point? Why should anyone, either the characters or audience, care for Alyx’s Escapades Through the Ever After? Also I might’ve missed this and correct me if I’m wrong, but did Ruby or anyone mention anything regarding if what they did with Atlas was ‘right’? If not, then don’t rely on V10 (if it’s ever coming, One Piece will finish up once that happens) to be any good, and RWBY is gonna end with a rushed ending, not that RWBY will end with good writing when it hardly has any to begin with and only does so when it wants to be convenient.

Also what was the reason, b*tch, how did her and her brother ended up there 💀

The root of the problem regarding Alyx’s story imo is that it has no real setup in-universe pre-V9/we lack the context on what the actual fairytale of “The Girl Who Fell Through the World” is (which also begs the question as to why it wasn’t included in the Fairytales of Remnant book). Because of that, we have to take all the exposition about Alyx’s journey at face value-unreliable narrators, plot holes, drastic shifts in characterizations, and all. Like, the realization that the fairytale is based true events sparks a lot of questions that require knowing the full fairytale to answer. Like, up until they meet Jaune, team RWBY were following Alyx’s journey practically beat-for-beat, so that would lead us to believe everything up to going back to remnant is trustworthy. So the what does the fairytale say happens to Jaune before Alyx goes to the tree? Likewise, if Alyx’s brother wrote the book, shouldn’t that be well known in Remnant as well? It’s possible he wrote it under her name/some kind of pen name, but the foundation of that whole plot twist is that belief Alyx wrote the story herself. It’s not something hard to address, but the fact it’s not implies to me RT didn’t think through how retroactively making this fairytale hugely influential to Remnant would effect things.

does there need to be a reason? she did a lot of bad. regardless of if the tree showed her something that changed her view on the ever after, or she realized it on her own she still has a change of heart right at the end. An extra episode fully explaining her story wouldnt really change how i feel about her. On top of that you can bring up the whole "show, don't tell" argument. Just plainly laying out the full factual story would clarify the character, but what does that do for the story? The volume itself is already a huge departure from the main plot.

If the interpretation of her being the blacksmith is correct I think it is a decent narrative end. It was also my thoughts and I quite like that they didn't spell it out explicitly. The season was supposed to be longer, so perhaps in the lost episodes it would have been revealed, but the short season might have been a blessing in disgusie as Rooster Teeth's writing team would have had a chance to butcher it with hamfisted writing. That the movie might have taken away time from the team was, ironically a benefit (at least in regards to Alyx's story).

I have a theory that the EverAfter arc was actually shorter, and part of what would have been a final Volume 9 containing the Vaccuo Arc, as well as even the series end back in Beacon/Vale. This might have an attempt to wrap the show up as quickly as possible due to the uncertainty of RT being able to support the show. Then CRWBY found new life in the show moving it to cruchyroll and decided to separate the EverAfter story into its own volume. Leaving the rest for V10. They then padded out the EA arc to bring it a full (although still short) Volume length. Might be way the volume feels like filler. It might also be why some of the narratives feel jumbled and incomplete.

Possibly the same reason he couldn't get there when possessing Neo. She didn't have any attachments to Remnant after getting her revenge (I guess she doesn't Cinder dead anymore) so that meant the cat couldn't use her to get there. That probably means that the Cat couldn't go because he had no attachments or bonds to Remnant. Except that's where his creators went and if they're there, wouldn't that mean he then has some connection to allow him to pass through? That's also a reason I don't think Neo is coming back. If she has nothing tying her to Remnant (because taking out Cinder is apparently not on her to-do list) then even if she ascends and becomes someone else or stays the same, she still has nothing connecting her to Remnant. If she isn't driven by revenge and has nobody or nowhere she wants to go back to, wouldn't that mean she is stuck there no matter what? The only reason I can conceive of Lewis not taking the cat is because Alyx changed her mind as soon as he walked through, meaning she couldn't ask him to take the cat instead. Because otherwise it would just be a matter of convincing Lewis to take the cat while she stayed behind for a bit.
