We haven't been shown what lies behind it yet, I think, but I doubt that is all there is to her. To an extent, yes, she is young and naïve and innocent to the point of seeming foolish, but I refuse to believe that is all there is to her character unless I am proven wrong (in later volumes). -She went Leeroy Jenkins against the Deathstalker even knowing how strong it was, and that the Nevermore was around. That's foolish and stupid.

-Roman in episode 1 threw a Fire Dust at her feet. Ruby knows Roman has a grenade launcher on his cane, and given she wants to be a hunter, and hunters use Dust commonly, I assume she knew what Dust could do. What does Ruby does? Stand around like an idiot. That's stupid and genre-blind.

-She has shown to be an idealistic and innocent person in the show. Innocent enough that sometimes I feel she's mentally younger than her actual age (sometimes). I know myself. A very idealistic person, a very innocent person, and a combination of both all would break my patience.

-You say it's a facade. Where's your evidence? Just because you knew people that were like that and it was a facade, doesn't mean everyone that is like that wears a facade. So I ask you again, where's your evidence that Ruby is wearing a facade?

-I know there's more to Ruby than just that. I was just stating the reasons I would not date Ruby. If I wanted to talk about the good and the bad of RWBY instead of getting to the point and saying why I wouldn't date her, I wouldn't be here, don't you think.

Also, do you know how it feels to wake up 9:00AM, enter the wikia, and see that you have 19 notifications, of which 95% are from the very same person (which is you)?
