<p>She is definitely a main character, she is also the antagonist and was the exact same woman that the headmistress was fighting against.</p>

<p>In RWBY, Episode 1: Ruby Red Rose, we see Ruby chasing a criminal who stole dust. After she chased this criminal, he shot at her, thought he had gotten rid of her, but was saved by the headmistress of Beacon Academy.</p>

<p>Further on we see the headmistress fighting a highly skilled person on the helicopter. Who was this woman and will we learn more about her in season 2?</p>

Also, the woman saving Ruby isn't the headmistress. Professor Ozpin is the headmaster, making Glynda, the woman, his secretary/assistant.
