She has a number of Mary Sue traits, which I'm 100% sure people have pointed out to you before, Swagger. It's stuff that by themselves would be more or less fine but when stacked on top of each other they can make the character feel like a Sue. Honestly though, she was mostly fine before Volume 3.

>A prodigy of sorts, with so much skill and expertise with "the most dangerous weapon ever designed" that Ozpin outright compares her to his right hand man, and inmediately lets her skip 2 years to attend one of the, if not the, most prestigious Huntsman Academy.

>Made said "dangerous weapon" when she was, at most, 14 years old. Result: She either designed the thing as a kid, or she designed it on her 1st year at Signal and became that good with it in a year or less. "Qrow taught her" only works so much here.

>Was made leader of her team despite not showing any leader traits whatsoever at the time (making plans is not a leader skill, at best that makes you a strategist/tactician).

>Weiss complains about Ruby and is painted as being in the wrong despite Ruby not being a good leader and outright acting like a clown in class, while Ruby just gets a pat in the back and "you'll get better".

>No matter what hardships she goes through, none of it leaves an impact on Ruby beyond the inmediate scene. Not even seeing all hell break lose and having friends die in front of her twice. For comparison, Ruby just got a small bad dream, while Yang had a real nightmare.

>Is part of an extremely rare race of warriors. Said warriors also have the power to insta-kill or at least petrify mankind's greatest enemy, Ruby being no exception. And outright shows this by instantly petrifying an ancient Grimm.

And so on.
