It even has faux corset laces. These posts on the 'Alternate Skins' thread inspired this episode idea, which I call Chrysalis. It's a fairly typical 'beach holiday' episode with all the RWBY and JNPR kids (and maybe Velvet too, if she endures as a character).

As stated above, Ruby's swimsuit is 'conservative' to say the least. On the other hand, Yang's swimsuit is, of course, three small yellow-and-black triangles held together by string. Maybe Blake or Weiss asks why Ruby's style is so different from her sister's. Ruby admits that Yang's effortless beauty and sexuality makes her feel a bit inadequate and she doesn't want to invite unflattering comparisons by showing off. Cue an indignant Weiss dragging Ruby to her personal spa and a 'ugly duckling turns to swan' moment that leaves poor Jaune with a nosebleed and even Ren distracted from Nora.

Maybe the episode would also have a bit of Ruby/Yang bonding too because Yang gets a guilt attack for inadvertantly making her sister feel bad about herself.

JAUNE: Well, hello little Red Fireball! Snow Angel, why don't you introduce me to your beautiful friend?

RUBY: Jaune! Quit playing around! It's me, Ruby!

JAUNE: Ruby! That's you? But... but... but you look like... like... like a girl! A hot girl! Is that legal?

RUBY: Gee... thanks for the self-esteem boost there, Vomit Boy.

WEISS hits JAUNE upside the head. Each of the RWBY and JNPR girls line up to do the same. WEISS links arms with RUBY

WEISS: Come on, Ruby. There's no point wasting your time with this tasteless peasant. Let's go and find some boys who appreciate true beauty!

In the distance, CARDIN, who is showing off for some random beauties by strutting up and down and flexing his muscles, sees RUBY and walks right into a flagpole, knocking himself senseless. I would love to see Cardin walk staight into a flagpole and fall unconcious. I'd be laughing for hours on end.
