I've read all of your comments and I disagree with you on several levels. For one Ruby's powers did not just go and fix everything. Things are still shit, the Dragon is frozen, not dead and Grimm are coming from miles just becuase of it's presence alone. As for Cinder, Ruby took her by surprise sure but we aren't certain that she was even defeated, she may have just run. Then their is the fact that Ruby was unconscious for, who knows how long, then took several months to recover. I also really don't see how she is a Canon Sue at all dude. So what Monty wanted to be a young scythe wielding girl who is an expy of Red Riding Hood? I've read many stories where stuff like this happened and yes at times it is ham fisted as all hell. Yet this feels appropriate considering Ruby was so drained all of her barriers had come down allowing for the power to break through, fighting for all knight against hordes of Grimm, getting beaten down by two impressive fighters and watching two friends die within hours of eachother. Again the main feature of a Mary Sue is utterly saving the day...and if you hadn't noticed *gesturing at the ruins of Beacon* I'd say things are still going wrong.
