A gender neutral Y/N was nothing but an old folktale to the people of their village. So when an imminent threat of Grimm begin to approach, the village is abandoned and nobody even thinks to tell their folklore guardian that they are defending empty...
Y/N: "hmm... very green. Just like home with Papa..."
Ozpin: "If it wasn't this green then we may not be able to call it the Emerald Forest any more!"
Qrow: "Still can't believe you're making them do this..."
Ozpin: "I hardly twisted young Y/N's arm, they seem quite interested in testing their mettle after what must have been quite a long few years without feedback or a mentor."
Qrow: "...-nothing wrong with letting them have a night's rest first though... *glug*"
Ozpin: "Qrow. Please, I must insist you resist the urge to drink such beverages on the school grounds."
Qrow: *glug* "Eh, I got nothin' better to do, thought I'd come and watch but I was feeling a bit parched..."
Ozpin: "sigh"
* * *
Ozpin: "If you wouldn't mind, could you stand right there Y/N?"
Y/N: "Stand here?"
Ozpin: "Yes, thank you. That's perfect."
Y/N: "...Where are Grimm? I see none here."
Ozpin: "Ah. Well, this is but the spectator's stand, the Grimm you are to face will be down there- below this cliff. But I'm not asking you to go in there and just kill Grimm... no, I would rather you search these forests for a ruin of sorts. And within these ruins, you will find a small Relic. I want you to return here with that Relic- that is your mission."
Qrow: "You got that, kid?"
Y/N: "... Climb down into forest, find 'rahlic' in a 'rooin' and bring it back here. Kill all Grimm in the way. Correct?"
Ozpin: "Mostly... although I never said anything about climbing down into the forest..."
*FWOOSH!*
That was the noise of Y/N, being launched past both Qrow and Ozpin, far out and incredibly high above the forest floor.

Qrow: "Surely you get a kick out of that, otherwise why else would you insist on launching everyone you meet of this damned cliff!"
Ozpin: "It is beneficial to see how one would react when they are forced to think on their feet."
Qrow: "But their feet are miles up in the sky!"
Ozpin: "True."

Ozpin: "I don't believe you ever mentioned what weapon our new friend uses, did you?"
