On the topic of Ruby getting little development, I tend to think about it in the sense that the Volumes shouldn't really be separated. I mean of course they are, but in the grand scheme of things, we've barely even began the series, and when Volume 4 comes out and undoubtedly gives some development to the less important characters of Volume 3 it's just going to seem like "oh, looks like this is the time for that". I mean think of how much Ruby has to deal with. Friends dead, her team split up, the future uncertain, and she probably feels partly responsible. Couple that with her unknown new power, she's got grounds to grow. Accept her mistakes, and "keep moving forward" like Qrow said. Also, now that Blake's gone off alone, I wouldn't be surprised if we get an episode dedicated to her and coming to terms with that, either.

Hell, it could be argued that this whole Volume was dedicated to being a wake-up call for Ruby, but I suppose none of us really do know anything, do we? Oh well, I like the direction this series is going in, and if it's anything like Korra, then this next Volume will be incredible.
