As to the Ruby issue, I'm not really seeing much of a problem. She's fifteen, not void-damned twelve. Plenty of people are dating at that age; that's not the issue. That the visible field is significantly older than her is immaterial; new characters can be introduced, or that old notion of her having a love interest back at Signal could be resurrected (I think that's from the first thread.). The issue is Ruby's emotional maturity, which seems to be lacking. Her innocence matters in terms of emotional maturity and life experience, but not in terms of knowing what's what. Yang was the one to give her The Talk, for Manwe's sake.

As to the Weiss issue, I'm of the opinion, as many are, that Iceberg is quite fragile (No sawdust here!), and if it remains afloat for any length of time, truly it would be the Habakkuk.
