"the story only followed Weiss, black and yang caz they were with ruby all the time"

And what about the entirety of volume 4 while they were not with Ruby? Dude, the show is called RWBY, as in Team RWBY, as in all four of them are the title characters. Rooster Teeth has always advertised RWBY as "It's a show about four girls", never "It's a show about a girl named Ruby Rose."

This is the description for RWBY on Rooster Teeth's website: "The future-fantasy world of Remnant is filled with ravenous monsters, treacherous terrain, and more villains than you can shake a sniper-scythe at. Fortunately, Beacon Academy is training Huntsmen and Huntresses to battle the evils of the world, and Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are ready for their first day of class."

If Ruby was really meant to be RWBY's ONLY main character, do you really think they would have listed the entire team? Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are the title characters and the central main characters of the show, not just Ruby.

And if Ruby was meant to be the one and only main character, that would make it even more of a crime that her teammates get more major characterization than she does!

"also, if ruby dose to much, people will call it bullshit. if she dose nothing people will ask why shes the main person. its the goldilocks effect for you, not to much of one, not to much of the other"

..... You're not listening to me at all.

You're seriously still not getting the point.

I don't care that she's been doing a lot of plot stuff. That's completely beside the point. That's not what I'm complaining about!!

What I'm complaining about is that she has not had actual serious CHARACTERIZATION since Volume 1. The other characters have had more deep, emotional, personal stuff going on and have actually been more interesting, more compelling characters because there's actual depth to them and they seem like actual people with problems and inner conflict who have actually shown that they were affected by what has happened in their lives! We have barely gotten anything like that from Ruby since volume 1, and as a consequence, it makes her a boring main character.
