that's stylistic choice however I do agree that Ruby needs developing, hopefully if the volume is as dark as it's been hinted at being she will develop quite a bit, there are time when you simply need more characters- they could be little more than named red-shirts but we still need them, having named characters that we've seen fighting get killed off is a little bit more effective than killing the faceless soldier, no? and then you can get say Ruby's reaction to other huntsmen and huntresses in training dieing in battle, which can be used as one hell of a tool for character development.
