Really? That's the first time I heard of that about Ruby. I mean, all I knew is that she's designed in appearance to be like Red Riding Hood.

But then again, does the symbols really define the characters? The Rose symbol, the Ice symbol, the fire symbols. They don't really represent their characters in terms of identity. It's related to them in some way, but it doesn't define them. Like how Ruby's symbol is the same as her mother's or Weiss' symbol is her family company symbol. They only way it relates to them is their semblances. What I find more interesting here is the fact that Jaune wields two symbols. The fact that he had shoes with the ARC symbol on the soles proves that Jaune wears the symbol as if it was his own and yet he has another symbol that is covered by his armor. He wears two symbols but what does that mean?

I already had these ideas before Monty said "It's nothing spectacular", so it surprised me a lot that he thinks this topic is something trivial.
