Something like an early-third season Aang (from Avatar - The Last Airbender), she'll feel that she has to prove herself to be worthy to be a hero all over again. She'll probably be taking wild risks, isolating herself from the rest of Team RNJR (because she doesn't want them hurt by her shortcomings) and generally coming off as a bit of an anti-hero in some ways.

Probably, one of the big character moments for Ruby in volume 4 will be when Jaune returns the favour of the 'nope' speech in Forever Fall and tells her just what she's doing wrong. What if it's even a callback?

Like, Ruby suddenly has this outpouring of what she's been thinking, and when she pauses to catch her breath or something, Jaune goes "Nope."
