*Hello again!*
—Pyrrha in RWBY Chibi
**Pyrrha Nikos** is a mentioned character in Matt Say Yay. She was a huntress from RWBY who died in battle to Cinder Fall. While she has yet to appear physically or interact with anyone due to her death, she is mentioned often by the cast, usually when ridiculing RWBY.

She is labeled **The Long Gone**.

## Role in Matt Say Yay

Unlike Sasha Blouse or Light Yagami, who are meant to be deceased in their universes but not in Matt Say Yay, Pyrrha is long gone, even in the Matt Say Yay universe. This is likely because Pyrrha died relatively early compared to Sasha and Light. Pyrrha is treated like a deceased celebrity. Melba always looked up to her and was heartbroken by her death, which caused her to leave RWBY for a while. Antlar has also been shown to have interest in killing Pyrrha due to hating the taste of Pumpkin Petes, which was advertised with Pyrrha.

The characters, including Melba, have seem to gotten over Pyrrha's death, though when or how this happened is completely unknown.

## List of times Pyrrha was mentioned

* Melba Nerds Out - Melba compares herself to Pyrrha and acts in denial about her death.
* Double DLC (for real this time) - Melba mistakes Pyra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for Pyrrha, which has Golza correct her, and later Black King, who is also in denial about Pyrrha's death.
* Nerds in their Natural Habitat - Dorako and Melba are having a conversation about RWBY while watching Pyrrha's death. When Pyrrha dies, Melba is re-reminded about the scene and throws a tantrum about it.
* Team JNPR Dance Attempt - Melba, Aribunta, Shepherdon, Doragory, and Dorako are watching the iconic Team JNPR dance scene, with Dorako teasing Melba about how she is seemingly upset that Pyrrha is dead and wearing a "really ugly outfit." The former four then attempt the Team JNPR dance, with mixed results.
* DEATH BATTLE Aftermath Comic Dub - Pyrrha's shield, Akoúo̱, can be seen in Matt's office.
* Bemstar and Antlar take notes - Bemstar, Antlar, and Melba are watching some RWBY and RWBY Chibi episodes. They then show that during Pyrrha's death scene, Bemstar and Antlar were just taking mindless notes. Around this point is when it's apparent that Melba got over Pyrrha's death.
* The Villains Celebrate Thanksgiving - Mecha Gomora mentions how Babarue heard that Antlar had a bounty named "Pyra Nicholas." The villains deny that this has anything to do with RWBY.
* Expiration Date (part 2) - Antlar is seen talking to Zaragas about his bounty, now properly revealed to be Pyrrha, with Zaragas asking how Antlar would react to find out his bounty was already dead. Ultraman Zero is then heard laughing like Light Yagami, which prompts Antlar to respond with "That." The bounty poster reads "WANTED; Pyrrha Nikos; Ruined cereal for me; Reward: 8 grains of sand".
* DB Aftermath Pitch Meeting - The Screenwriter guy mentions Pyrrha's shield being in the comic, which the boss recognizes, but also questions how it is there, as it was put into Jaune Arc's weapons, which Screenwriter guy claims he doesn't know.
* When Melba met Blake - Pyrrha is mentioned via the Fun Fact pop-up when Melba says that Blake is among her top three favorite RWBY characters. The fun fact says that Pyrrha is her number one favorite, after Blake and Ruby.
* RWBY Pyrrha's death, but it's a 1000 Ways To Die parody - This parody video shows Pyrrha's death in the style of 1000 Ways to Die.
* Timeline of every Matt Say Yay character! - Pyrrha is listed among the many Matt Say Yay characters. She uses her artwork from RWBY: Ice Queendom.
* A bad Squid Game parody made by a guy who never watched Squid Game - When Melba tells Dorako to not insult "best girl" Blake, Dorako points out that he thought Pyrrha was best girl, with Pyrrha showing up very translucent when he says this. Melba then says that "Blake is best girl who's still alive."
* Five Nights At RWBY's 2 Phone Calls (FNAF parody) - Pyrrha plays the role of Mangle in this parody, likely in reference to how she is canonically dead.
* Some more Time Travel Shenanigans - Pyrrha is mentioned by Twin Tail. Twin Tail claims that she and Gudon once time travelled to the event of Pyrrha's death, something that horrifies Lucina, but reminds C.O.V. about her mother, and how much she loved Pyrrha, which accidentally reveals that Melba is her mother.
* How RWBY Characters Got Their Names - Pyrrha is pictured along with many other characters from RWBY when the cast discusses names for the characters. Melba is in charge of naming her, but settles on Pyrrha due to her not paying attention, and coming up with it when playing Smash Bros. as Pyra.
* The Kaiju watch Winnie-the-Pooh - At the beginning of the episode, Antlar states that he was in the middle of eating his Pumpkin Pete's cereal. Pyrrha is shown when the graphic for Pumpkin Pete's is shown. Antlar then states he wasn't eating the cereal, but something related to the cereal, though he doesn't say what.

## Trivia

* **Running gag:** Characters mispronouncing Pyrrha's name as "Pyra."
* Pyrrha is technically the second most recurring RWBY character, behind Blake.
* Antlar's hatred towards Pyrrha was primarily done because they both use magnetism.
	+ Matt wrote a Death Battle between Pyrrha and Antlar on his blog in the Death Battle Wiki, which ended with Pyrrha winning.
* Pyrrha's death scene is nicknamed "Arrow to the Nikos", a quote taken from the Ruby Rose vs The Mandalorian by Eddiefrb, which in turn is a parody of the iconic arrow to the knee quote from The Elder Scrolls.
	+ It is labeled as Way to Die #313, a reference to how it happened in Chapter 13 of Volume 3 of RWBY.
