User blog comment:Tatmtn/Character Appreciation: Ruby/@comment-3257939-20141222051652

Let me be the first one to tell you that this is a great idea for blogs. After so much controversy caused by the type of characters, what they did and what they didn't do (that the fans would have prefered to see), an appreciation post is such a good idea.

Ruby is far from not being a likeable character, maybe she hasn't showed enough as one would expect from the protagonist of the series but the series itself is not mainly about Ruby but about Team RWBY and she does a great job with her own character.

Seriously, Ruby has grown. First she didn't want to have anything to do with other people to the point she made mistakes because she was afraid of not being good enough for people to like her but her interactions with Penny and Emerald in this volume showed that Ruby has no problems when talking to people like she did in the past. But there are things that simply can't change and so far, she's been loyal to the personality she showed in Volume 1.

I'm not sure about the go toe on toe with Pyrrha Nikos since they weren't using their weapons but I'll give Ruby credit enough and believe she can at least wound Pyrrha which apparently is something impossible since she's untouchable.
