Ruby's idealistic, but not overly so. Overly-idealistic would be Queen Amidala saying "I will not condone an action that will lead us to war" when war has already come to her and to not fight is to be conquered. Overidealism is when a person follows their ideals to unpractical levels. Ruby accepting Penny and Blake after their secrets are revealed was pratical and possible through her ideals. Ruby not recognizing or even suspecting Cinder is because she didn't see much of Cinder the first time and because of her naivity, not because of her idealism. If she was really overly-idealistic, she would have attacked the White Fang guards as soon as she had seen them or charged in directly when she found where the White Fang was located in Mountain Glen. But instead, she was pratical and tried to get in contact with her team before getting in. The part where she was maybe an idiot when she was placing her dog into safety instead of getting herself up first.
