Well about Ruby, my thoughts were the same as you. Since I never ever thought that the trailer might be showing our dear girl in the future and not the past, I was dead set at this god awesome thought that she was a mercenary or religious demon hunter (well the demon hunter part was right at least) with crazy skills, and that she acts upbeat and cheerful (also right, albeit I imagined completely different reasons) because of a haunting past and swears never to look down or something.

I even speculated that Ruby was the real big sis between her and Yang (partly because of my family's influence: my sister calls me brother, but I call her by her name instead) because it's obvious Ruby in Red Trailer was a lot more skillful than Yang in hers. But since Monty threw in a newbie Ruby for our first episode that theory's completely botched.

As for Weiss, I had this image where she was an ice queen. She was a person who understood responsibility, who would make harsh decisions when the time calls for it, and while she does have moments of weaknesses she was never a person who would, well, freaking bitch on something as trivial as random people who happened to stumble into her luggage. If anyone's interested they can read the Weiss I had in mind at the Fanon, titled 'Mirror Haunt'. Point is, I was INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED with how Weiss (seemed) to be turning out.

And then there was Blake. So far nothing new and unexpected about her was revealed, so your guess is as good as mine.
