She is also so completely focussed on justice and the protection of the innocent that she'll go chasing into battles she's not ready to fight. Furthermore, she has this strange quality of being followed. People just naturally seem to find themselves following her lead and making up justifications for doing so. Cute, except very few of those facts are currently remotely true.

Chosen one? Well yes it’s in the title.

Reach the heart of anyone? Like how she reached Blake and stopped her from running in V1 and killing herself with worry in V2? Or how she talked Weiss into trusting her as a leader? Or how she got Penny to admit she was a robot unprompted? She reached the heart of Jaune, yes who opened up to Pyrrha unprompted…wait…

Strange quality of being followed? Please, Jaune displaye more of that in the ball epsode than Ruby did in 3 volumes.

Let me be clear I like Ruby, A LOT. But she is not a candidate for Guardian, at least no yet, and training her to BE a guardian when Ozpin said, and I quote, “they must chose themselves”, goe against what they want as a guardian.

Long story short, Ruby is not ready for it, as of now. The thing that bothers me about Ozpin saying "They must choose themselves" is he immediately, I shit you not, directly afterwards ostensibly promotes a canidate, which kind of discredits any sort of neutrality in the selection process.

Think of it like a job application. Ozpin sees someone who fits the qualifications. So, he makes her a job offer. The Maiden [Pyrrha] must choose on her own to join or not.
