I think your assessments are at times not entirely accurate. After all, you're more referencing Ruby's use of the weapon more than its actual properties. Defensively speaking, Crescent Rose is of sturdy enough construction to be completely stable even when balanced on its blade with Ruby's full weight (as slight as that is) leaning on the end of the shaft and its shear size and weight of the blade would make it more than adequate for fending off against similar heavy weapons. Of course Ruby's own lack of build and reliance on speed seems to make her more inclined to run and dodge rather than engage in a solid struggle, that doesn't reflect what Crescent Rose is capable of.
