@DiegoAnime3000,

I think that you're using the wrong definition of 'romance'. Ruby is thinking of the classical form of fiction known as romance, what we now consider the fighting fantasy genre. Knight in shining armour, wizards in their tower and princesses in peril needing to be saved. And, of course, the good guys always win in the end and live happily ever after.

As she told Blake - Making that happen is their job.

So, yeah, I wouldn't think she'd automatically expect a romance with a knight in shining armour because, in her personal romance, she is the knight in shining armour. Her ideal romantic partner is someone who falls into the 'imperilled princess' stereotype (no gender prerequisite - male characters can just as easily do the job).
