You don't need to learn anything to grow emotionally attached to someone. The White Cloak only needs to save Ruby from danger, show her battle prowess, and I can imagine young Ruby go all starlike and idolize the hell out of her.

I agree that the connection can be weak (more like can't be proven at the moment), but again, the weapon-body mismatch is a bit too huge. We could see from almost every other character that they prefer light, easily portable weapons (gauntlets, rapiers, swords, katana), with the exception of Junior, and still Crescent Rose is arguably the biggest weapon out there and perhaps only losing in weight to Nora's hammer.

I believe there's a reason here. The White Cloak is the more obvious connection to Ruby's love of a weapon that completely does not fit someone of her size, especially considering that a Rifle-Sycthe is considered one of the most dangerous weapons ever created.

And well, how to put this? I love reading, and I particularly love the fantasy genre, but that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore all the other genres, right? Same goes with Ruby's weapon fanatism.
