Um...if the scythe head is facing away from Ruby when she's clinging to the airship for dear life, which I'm assuming it is, then it's in the right position. The handle should be where it is; on the side with Ruby's right shoulder. It's where it is in the DDI picture, and it's where it is in the preview picture.

Ruby isn't actually holding the handle, she's holding the shaft. The spike at the bottom is probably about paraller with her waist, so if she's not careful there she'll get cut, but the handle she uses for steadying the scythe is above her hands.

The scope isn't parallel to the handle, Ruby just isn't hold it by the handle. She's holding her scythe by the shaft just below the scop, and the handle is above her hands. Hence it sticks out into our field of vision.
