With the new opening all of a sudden her outfit retroactively becomes a tribute to the people she looks up to, because they fit her established ideal of a huntress. And that applies whether or not the cloak belonged to her mother.

To be honest, I think Ruby actually does does have a bit of characterisation, Drum. You listed one piece of evidence for that right now. Whether "Let's kill it" indicates that she finds fighting fun or just imediately sees Grimm as something that needs to be eliminated is a matter of interpretation, but either way it tells us something. Compare to Weiss or Blake, who are fleshed out 3-d characters who have aspirations, demons, and developed pasts. With Ruby we have she wants to be huntress and she misses her mother...that's about it.
