I've seen some people look at Ruby when she has her cape pinned to the ground by the Nevermore feather and wonder, 'Hey she can teleport her way out of there, can't she?'

I think that no, she can't, because her cape is what allows her to teleport.

There are two times in the series when we see her initiate teleporting: the beginning of the Red trailer and in Episode 5, after she proves to Weiss that she's not slow. Watching closely, her cape moves before she does both times, making me believe that the cape's not just there to look cool.
