You don't have to make someone special to have them be interesting. There are plenty of shows and games with regular people as their main characters, who have many flaws to balance out their strengths. The game The Last of Us is a perfect example of a normal person being a great character, who isn't super strong or smart, but is a relatable and enjoyable character, with nothing attached to that.

I'm not saying Ruby can't be special, but I'm just trying to point out that a character doesn't need to be apart of a prophecy or something like that to be unique and important.
