Not "Nega-Ruby", she's not some evil counterpart from that other universe. She's just a different Ruby, whose life didn't go 100% identical to the protagonist Ruby, starting with the fact that she never met Weiss.

In fact, she's not even supposed to be a villain, or anti-hero of any kind. More like a secondary really. I don't want whoever takes this idea to use "Saphire", since that would be like if she was someone else. The idea here is that she's Ruby, feels like Ruby, identifies herself as Ruby, she's just not the same Ruby we would follow in the story.

We could however, make that the 2nd Ruby had a 3rd sister in that universe. Either a Xiao Long or a Rose, not necesarily "Saphire" nor some kind of twin, but her main color being blue. If a Xiao Long, we give her a chinese name. If a Rose, we can call her something related to Blue in english, either a gem or flower. She would have an unique appearance, likes and dislikes, her own friends and fighting style and Semblance, and probably be the "middle child" of Taiyang.

We could even play with it further and say that in that universe, Raven left Taiyang because he cheated on her with Summer and leaved her pregnant, with "Saphire" being born. And later came Ruby. And later came protagonist Ruby from another universe.
