@Somerandomguy93 - That was me! I am glad knowing you approve!

Tying into the thread below about Ruby dropping an F-bomb when she kills Cinder, I'm firmly of the opinion that fighting Cinder is going to be the thing that forces Ruby to become a more mature and pragmatic leader while still retaining her overall compassion. I just think that would be great.

With the point about the rest of her team having problems with that, I think it could also set up a nice character arc for her where she deals with whether or not killing Cinder was the right choice, and Weiss in particular could really have her relationship with Ruby strained. Maybe have Yang in there to talk to Ruby about having to make hard choices as you grow up, which would also give her some time to process killing Adam at the end of Volume 6. Although maybe take the edge off with an opening bit like this:

Yang: So, Ruby. I wanted to talk to you, about... life, and growing up, and how, sometimes, there are changes you aren't ready for.

Ruby: Is this that conversation you had with Dad when you were thirteen about why your chest was getting bigger?

Yang: (silent for a moment) No, Ruby, this isn't that conversation. Plus, I think we're a bit past that.
