I think the opposite.

Ruby is the unchosen one.

Penny, may be the "chosen one" in the sense that she's supposedly made to save the world.

However, through Ruby's actions during the course of RWBY, she's eventually gonna be considered the chosen one by mankind.

Essentially, though she's not destined to save the world, she does so anyway. Because that's what a simple soul does.
