I still say that Ruby is (unconsciously at least) likely to be attracted to a character fitting into the 'imperilled princess' trope. This could be very profitably done for laughs, IMHO. Personally, I'd prefer any ship involving Ruby to ultimately extend from her helping a maginal character decide to follow the path of light rather than dark. Someone who she 'saves' in a far more moral rather than physical manner.

I've long said that Jaune's attraction to Weiss is a straight-up "Shining Knight + Princess in the Tower" fantasy. The problem is, of course, that Weiss doesn't see him as her Prince Charming. Any Arkos shipping will have to plausibly overcome the "We're better as friends and partners" objection.
