Morbidity and strife is no more characterization than a blissful life. That's where I think Drum's getting mixed up. I feel a lot of people tend to forget the first half of season 1 which was very ruby centric, because the final two episodes really pushed a darker conflict with Weiss and Blake.

Ruby's characteristic traits is that she's overconfident has very poor social inclinations. It's different from Blake who is more introverted by choice whereas Ruby seems more like she's too awkward to properly connect with people and opts out of it for convenience. She loves having friends, but the process of making them is a bother for her.

She also forgoes concepts of danger and caution and prefers to dive head on into any situation. I can tell you how Ruby will act in a particular situation. I feel far too many people mistake backstory for character depth.
