In the red trailer everyone automatically said "oooh, Little Red Riding Hood," but I see her as also being based off the Grim Reaper in an awesome, genius way. Considering the speculation that she may have lost someone very close to her (Summer Rose) and that drives her to hunt and kill monsters (she took out all those beowolves after visiting the altar), it may be that her grim reaper design is symbolic of her "relationship," as it were, with death.

When she decapitated the Nevermore, the song playing in the background was "Red Like Roses, Pt. 2," the lyrics of which also talk about losing someone close to her. So I think the decapitation of the Nevermore ultimately was symbolizing her "dark side." I get confused about this song actually. It's clearly talking about Ruby because it has the words red and roses inside the title and the lyrics. But Ruby acts like a cheerful, optomistic, and idealistic girl. But the song clearly has a connection because the other trailers' songs have matched their respective characters exactly. That said, I agree with the above statement as far as the first idea goes. She reminds us of that fair tale, but then she wheres gothic clothes, uses a scyth, and beheads monsters with it that are called Grimm. Sounds like the "Grimm" Reaper to me...But the song still confuses me. If she is grieving about her loss, then why can she hide it so effectively? She doesn't even look affected by it, assuming it happened in this point in time.
