Re.: the post immediately above

It would require a considerable re-characterisation of the Grimm, which are mostly shown as unreasoning creatures that will attempt to kill a human until it is killed.

I'm on a 'The Last of Us' fan-fiction binge at the moment. Because of this, I present: The Best of Us

Basically a flashback episode of how Ruby got so badass and so at ease in Grimm-infested forests. It turns out that Qrow took his niece out on long open-ended trips through the wilderness to visit runined remains of previous civilisations with all the 'survival horror' clichés either parodied or used straight. Strong implication that Ruby, via Qrow, knows something significant about the history of the Human-Grimm struggle that isn't in the normal history books.

She can also kill, skin and cook a rabbit without blinking an eye. Blake is impressed and Weiss pukes at the demonstration.
