'You want a romantic life a fairytale that's full of charm' is what Ruby wanted when she was talking about becoming a huntress. Then the lines immediately after that are all talking about the end of light and the darkness coming back... Ruby' dreams are going to get a very powerful reality shock when the Grim return. Not as those weak werewolves or the monsters that get hunted by students, but the real Grim, the destroyers of humanity. I'm sensing apocalypse, as has been said above. I just wonder how Torchwick plays into it. By threat level, Torchwick is very much a secondary antagonist. Like a typical short-sighted crime lord, he dismisses the Grim as legends or myths, and considers himself the ruler of the Underworld. My guess is that he's going to get in over his head in search of more power, and will probably suffer a rather gruesome end at the hands of the Grim (courtesy of Crimson, I bet).

As for Ruby's character development, I am 99% sure that she is going to get a pretty nasty reality kick early on in the show, but not from the Grim. Ruby is pretty much an altruist, so how derailing would it be if, say Beacon was sabotaged by White Fang terrorists, and then Ruby finds out that's Blake's group even after they've been friends for a while. That would be a double-whammy dreamcrusher: terrorism and betrayal in one.

This, of course, is based on the assumption that White Fang targets establishments like Beacon, and that Blake used to run with them. Just my two bits, anyhow.
