He could have at least said something that would catch my interest. What he said (first paragraph) gave me this idea.

Ruby wants to be a hero like in fairy tales, become a Hunter just like her Mother, in other words be like Summer. And this goes as far as one didn't think; she wants to be like her mother, like Summer, down to wanting to die fighting some strong, badass Grimm. Summer "asking" Ruby to not do what she did, is her "telling" Ruby to not go the same road she went.

In other words, Ruby doesn't want to become a Huntress just because of heroes and legends, but because she's a Death Seeker wanting to die for a cause worth-something like her mother did.
