Talk:Ruby Rose/@comment-10390252-20130822100509

Here's a thought arising from a discussion over on the RoosterTeeth forum: Ruby was selected by the headmaster himself to study at Beacon. I wonder if there is a certain degree of status associated with being selected by the headmaster. Maybe Ruby will be seen as Ozpin's "personal student" or even apprentice by the other students, leaving her somewhat with 'non-normal knees', to use her own phrase.

This could have advantages (access to Ozpin's personal library and supplies of stuff like dust and ammo) but it could also have disadvantages. Ozpin, as Ruby's Master, could have the right to require her to do errands for her like find certain objects, kill certain monsters and resolve certain situations on his behalf. He might also feel the need (and have the implicit right) to intervene in her personal life if he thinks that she is going down a wrong path.
