She has little development thus far, aye, but equating that to being a poor character is a bit ignorant. People are free to judge based on their own criteria - some may like backstory (and to those people, I say have patience - we don't know a whole lot about Ruby, either. All will be revealed, about everybody), some may like personality (and you can't argue that Yang's is as distinct as any of the other three main characters), and some may like fighting style.

That said, the last two episodes kinda made Blake my favorite, at least for the time being. That is liable to change though because I do enjoy the other three's personas - they just haven't been fleshed out to the extent Blake has. Also, Ruby's mindlessly charging into battle and almost getting herself killed in episode 8 was a bit of a black mark, for me. That was just... so... dumb. Like, I know she's the one who eventually came up with the plan to take out the Nevermore and everything, but if I were Ozpin and I saw her rushing in like that... I don't think I'd have made her leader.
