Was it the nerves Ruby showed in the beginning of the fight? I sorta understood it; she's been saying since the beginning she wants to have 'normal knees'. Being called on like that can be pretty intimidating if you're not expecting it, and Cardin is very cocky and much larger than her. Sure, we know he's nowhere near her level but she probably hadn't actually seen him fight before then so had no clue.

The thing with the cloak...I thought it was cute. It felt to me like it's not just a security blanket for her, it's also been a reminder of her mum and uncle, who both wear capes/cloaks and are Huntsmen, and a reminder of her dreams. Sometimes people need a physical reminder to keep them confident.

It was also a nice explanation of why she wears her cape with her uniform beyond just 'I like it a lot'.
