Another note:

Some of the mannerisms of this "Vicious Ruby Rose" will allude to the Big Bad Wolf from various fairy tales. Before you ask, She will not disguise herself as an elderly person or blow down houses by breathing. Instead, Vicious Ruby will allude to him in the sense that She is a cunning, manipulative predator.

One of the biggest influences of the Alt. Ruby was a fanfic I read called "The General's Side". In this fanfic, Ruby is betrayed and left for dead, but is saved by General Ironwoood and rebuilt into a cold, ruthless killer. While the fic itself isn't top tier, it did raise an interesting question: "What if the trauma Ruby experienced at Beacon cause a darker side to boil to the surface?" This question, along with the aforementioned parallels with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Villian Cole D. Walker and the Big Bad Wolf are what inspiried this darker AU Ruby.
