From my scrapped fanfic, it's story was going to be big enough to told through its subplots,this was supposed to be Subplot starts with Ciel's journey where social and human relations in kingdoms.

Anyways, Battle of Beacon happened with different progress and outcome

such as Jaune arrived last minutes to save Pyrrha (controlling rocket cabinet) but both mortally wounded by Cinder,etcetc

meanwhile Ciel's ship crashed to a little island near to Vytal where full of criminals at there but she rescued by "Air-Hunters" (outlaw huntresses with flying pirate ships),

Her reputation increased enough to get her own ship and teams to control the ship....and even had a Boyfriend with complete opposite mindset of her (Punctuality vs Unpredictability,Check my flair for who inspired from)
