In rwby, there is an abundance of recurring characters, some of whom have died, but what faction is truly winning i belive it could be rubys faction based on losses for they have lost alptless then the other factions those being the team ruby faction the radical white fang faction menageries peaceful faction,salems faction, the brawnen tribe,cinders faction, and the destroyed ironwood faction. I'll first go over the losses, and what I predict could happen
The brawnen tribes side has vernal after cinder did basic cinder things and double crossed them. Ironwood faction lost penny winter and marrow who all defected, lost the winter maiden who cinder killed but then gave her power to penny,countless nameless soldiers, clover who was impaled by tyrion vine who sacrificed himself to save Qrow, Elm,Robyn, and Harriat. As of volume 9 hariat and elms allegiance is unknown but i suspect they joined the ruby faction in vacuo even though team rwby isint there 4 of the most important people in the group is currently resideng in vacuo those being qrow nora ren and oscar/ozpin team cvfy and sssn are also there but they played a significantly lesser role in the story. Anyways back on track the last member lost from ironwood faction is ironwood himself who got blown to smithereens. Cinders faction.
Emerald allegedly deserted we know she abandoned salem but I don't know if she fully committed to leaving Cinder, mercury deserted,roman forced servitude dead swallowed by nevermore neo also forced servitude fate unkown after she ascended in ever after. Salems faction lionheart killed by salems seer grimm after trying to escape,jauqes schnee who was a pawn/slash means to an end to Arthur watts killed by ironwood, hazel dead got nuked by oscar,tyrion fate unknown presumed alive,watts murderd by cinder who then lied about it and I don't think salem will be to happy if she finds out cinder tried to manipulate her and killed one of her best assets but watts is technically alive because even if the justice leauge crossovers arnt canon (i don't know if they are but I'm pretty sure there not) it shows that watts had his conscience on a backup drive so for all we know he could be alive in canon as well and report to salem that cinder murdered him or just leave, sienna khan killed by adam who was then killed by blake and yang by impalment of his own sword, rubys side has lost a astoundingly less amount then one might think. Penny killed by pyrrha under illusion of emrald, Amber killed by cinder,ozpin but he dosent count technically speaking since he reincarnated the season after he died into oscar,pyrrha killed by cinder,some nameless people, and penny again after jaune reluctantly killed her,although it's safe to assume jaune could very well be next after all he was trapped in the ever after for about 20 years is probably clynicaly depressed and on the brink of insanity what team rwby did to him with revealing that his life was a lie with the paper pleasures in the cruel way ruby did blake flat out saying he wasn't reliable infront of him acting like her being ex white fang and running from her team was any different the hypocrisy with blake saying that is wild the life shattering revelations of the curious cat admitting to murdering alyx and that jaune could've escaped at any time he wanted he just had to imagine the tree and he could've gone home and then the fact alyx turned jaune young again making it so jaune has to live even longer with the mental stress depression and insanity of a 39 ish year old in the body of his 19 year old self which also sucks for him because he can't fight in his bulkier armor and rusted sword and shield he's been fighting with for years he has to go back to being agile flexible and with harder to use weapons wince he probably had his skills removed cause why not so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if jaune dies in volume 10 cause after all one of the writers did say they were trying to make people emotional and team rwby has plot armor after all and jaune has been bullied by alot of charecters since volume 1 added to the fact 20 years of solitude is going to make it very hard for jaune to adapt to vacuo and seeing ren and nora again after going partly insane and naming the paper pleasures after his friends from remmnant.
