Qrow Branwen

Raven Branwen

Yang Xiao Long 1) Ok. And Ruby's never been a member of any tribe nor kicked out of any group for breaking the rules. How does this support your "argument"?

2) First of all, the Branwen Tribe's not actually tribal. They're more a ragtag bunch of criminals banded together under Raven. Ever seen bandit clans and such in movies and games? They're more along those lines than actual tribes.

Second of all, "having tribe blood in his veins" doesn't mean shit in regards to Ruby, because just because she knows people "with tribe blood in their veins" that doesn't mean she herself has any. And news flash: She doesn't.

Third of all, define "tribe blood in their veins". For all we know, Raven and Qrow were adopted into the tribe, not actually born from a couple there.

And 3) I'm 500% sure Zasalamel is muuuuch more than "just a guy from a tribe".

The fact that you couldn't even think of any better arguments other than that pile of straws says a lot about how "fitting" Zasalamel is (not) to be Ruby's oponent compared to Maka.
