1) "Not all characters show big changes after a tragedy happened to them"

Except, sweet summer child, EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW ASIDE FROM RUBY D.O.E.S. SHOW BIG CHANGES DUE TO THEIR EXPERIENCES.

>Weiss, started as a cold bitch, then made an effort to become a better teammate, and by V2 she was the most emotive member of the team. Then V3 happened, and by V4 she's much more quiet and such, until she bursts out at her father and the guests, something that V1 Weiss would've never done.

>Blake was reserved and sassy, then Adam showed up again, and by the time V4 starts Blake is very paranoid, easily scared, and for the rest of the Volume she's muuuch more irritable than she had ever been in the show.

>Yang, it's the most obvious. After she lost her arm and Blake ditched her without saying anything, she became melancholic and depressed, not to mention started to suffer PTSD, complete with triggers and an actual nightmare. Even after she seemingly got better, throughout Volume 5 her hand twitched, showing us, S.H.O.W.I.N.G. us that she hasn't 100% recovered yet.

That's just Team RWBY. Others also get their moments, Jaune, Ren, Oscar, even fucking Cinder. But Ruby? Never.

2) " saying that she's exactly the same than in Volume 1 is wrong."

You're right, it's wrong. Vol.1 Ruby actually had much more depth than Ruby ever did afterwards. She shows flaws, she shows worries, she acts like a person, and grows like one.

>Goes to Beacon, tells Yang she just wants normal knees (this sentiment pretty much vanishes afterwards though).

>At Beacon, she's amazed by all the weapons carried by the shadow people (her gun-love doesn't show up again until Jaune pulls out the sword-sword in Vol.4).

>She acted like a freaking clown on her very first class, but then she spoke to Ozpin, and he taught her what it means to be a leader, and since then she starts acting more like one, even giving Jaune some advice based on what she learned some episodes prior.

But then, Volume 2 arrived, and ever since then Ruby has just been a generic cheerful optimistic girl who is just there to act as a plot device and say the generic optimistic one-liners.

Sure, she experiences a lot, but beyond her initial reaction and the ocasional tiny drops that are way too few and far between, she's the same generic cheerful optimistic girl she's always been.

Ruby is a static vanilla character. Which is bad, because she's the most main-character of Team RWBY. You cannot make the MC a static vanilla character in a show, unless it's some saturday-morning cartoon for 7 year olds.
