If I recall correctly, Monty said he wanted all the characters to appear to be 1-dimensional cliches at first, and then the show would break that down and show them to be more than that.

As far as I can tell, we haven't quite seen that yet with Ruby, but...


 * Weiss - The bitchy rich girl heiress. Most likely, the reason she's so cold and bitchy is because she got tired of getting hurt by the fact that people she knew kept disappearing and being killed. She probably didn't intend on making friends when she started attending Beacon, considering their line of work will involve people they went to school with getting hurt and killed. So, she's not some bratty rich bitch; she's someone who's suffered a lot of grief for years and doesn't want to suffer anymore. She also doesn't follow the Airhead Heiress trope. She takes her education very seriously (hence getting pissed at Ruby for goofing off in Port's class) and likely makes really good grades (She called herself the smartest girl in class, in volume 1).


 * Blake - The calm, quiet, somber girl. Since her introduction, we've been shown that she can smile and have some fun, so she's not somber all the time. We've also been shown that she can be emotional and let her emotions get the best of her (her outburst in The Stray, taking Roman hostage in Black and White, getting obsessed in volume 2).


 * Yang - The flirty party girl. We've found that she's a motherly figure to Ruby, and she can be a very caring person to her friends (the way she handled Blake's obsessive attitude). She has an anger problem, that much is obvious. It also seems that she enjoys fighting. She's pursuing a career as a huntress, not because she cares about protecting people, but because she just wants some excitement in her life. I guess she finds fighting to be exciting, and that's why she appears to enjoy it.
