And, The Devil's Advocate WP, I have one issue with that statement; out of universe, that makes sense, but in universe, Ruby isn't the liekly choice for the canidate at all-she's a weird kid with a gun fetish.

Her being the guardian is a subverting of expectations, at least to the people of Remnant.

"They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child. Suprised when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild"

Pyrrha being the guardian makes sense in universe, so she very likely won't be the final guardian.

this, exactly this... Ruby does not appear ready for this at all... she wasn't even confident enough in her own abilities to enter round 2 of the tourney... as for Pyrrha being a sacrifice... that's hardly a point, if all you have at the ready to stop a tank is a single monk... you send the monk. Pyrrha is extremely competent and skilled at all levels, that Ozpin believes another will take the mantle is irrelevant, for better or worse she is his best option at the moment.
