Yeah, we kind of need her to "darken out" a little bit. If RWBY was set in a star wars styled universe and she saw a planet be burned to the ground while she was still on it (like Halo: Reach but with her living through the events of the game) she'd probably have her kind-idealistic-attitude darken considerably.
