Too Add On To The "red Eyes Symbolize Protecting Those Close To You" Part, The Two Other Characters With
Too add on to the "red eyes symbolize protecting those close to you" part, the two other characters with red eyes are Emerald, who's primary motivation was loyalty to Cinder and tried to protect her on multiple occasions, and Qrow who seems to spend like 50% of his fights trying to keep everyone else alive.
whenever yang's eyes turn red, whenever she uses her semblance due to an emotional outburst, it's always been out of anger or frustration. always to attack someone.
not in worthy, though. she's not angry, or frustrated, nor is she trying to attack neo. it's fear and worry for ruby's life, her goal is to push ruby out of the way of harm, and her semblance activates and her eyes turn red along with it.
and i feel like that's noteworthy, because it's not like yang's semblance gives her more defense, it's purely offensive semblance—if anything, using it just spent more of her aura. so why did it activate in that moment, so unlike any usage of it has been before?
all i can think of is symbolic meaning. eyes are important, and with yang and ruby especially they tie them to their mothers. silver eyes are fueled by desire to protect life, and they do that by targeting grimm. outside of silver eyes, red eyes are only other eye color that has been mentioned in the show—first in reference to grimm, which nicely makes them "opposite" of silver eyes, and second time in reference to raven.
yet yang's eyes turned red by using her semblance in a moment where her sole focus was to protect someone; not by attacking the person threatening them, but by pushing them out of the way. with all this in mind, it's certainly a change from the past, but i can't find it unexpected; raven's semblance seemingly allows her to know when someone she's bonded to is in danger / about to die, and gives her a quick way to protect them.
and i find it neat, that we have two different eye colors, silver and red, one so very anti-grimm and the other grimm-like, yet both symbolize protection in their own way.

The actual episodes of Rwby Ice Queendom haven't even started and I'm already unhinged just from the pre-release livestream
Could be. My money's on Alyx though.
NARRATOR IS A WOMAN WE HAVEN’T HEARD BEFORE.
Calling it now that this is Summer!
No one:
Amphibia, The Owl House, and RWBY fans: here's why someone's gonna lose an eye
This suggests publically funded, socialized magical girl agencies, which would amusingly make said magical girls government employees.
Political/social satire where a Republican party analogue is trying to defund magical girl agencies~
Okay so I know a lot of people are proposing Summer as the narrator, but that just doesn't sound right to me.
For one, the voice just sounds a little younger than I would've expected summer to sound.
For two, I'm unconvinced they'd reveal summer in a teaser rather than leaving it for a big moment in the show itself.
And three, the actual wording of the narration seems to ve talking about the story of the girl who fell through the world (while obviously drawing a parallel for us, the audience, to Ruby), and who would know that story in the ever after if not Alyx herself.
So yeah, I think the narrator is Alyx not Summer, no I do not have any strong evidence for that claim. It's purely vibes based atm.
