Well, in ruby's defense:
 * She charged at the two Grimm, but that almost gets her killed.
 * She could not react in time when the truck was about to hit her.
 * She did run away from Roman, but she took her lessons on the "Prometheus School of Running Away from Things".

But yeah, Ruby is sadly the weakest character in RWBY (writing-wise). I blame Miles and Kerry though.
