I get what you're getting at by calling it an ensemble, but it is nothing like the cast of Firefly.... first off, there was no title character for that series.... secondly, the closest thing to a title character was the ship the cast rode in on... and that ship had possibly more developement than Ruby has.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like Ruby, but as Arkantos and Chishio say what has been done with her is almost unforgivable... she should have been developed talking about her mother and Penny, Yang and her father should have discussed her with more concern during Yangs arc describing her as a person, we should have seen the beginning of RNJR's trip, not because we should have seen all of it, but rather because they should have shown us their reasons for going, Ruby's thoughts on leaving Yang, and JNR's sadness over Pyrrha's death... the latter was somewhat explored, but because they were so far along it made no sense to get as deep into it as they should have.

RT has never been great at character developement in RWBY, full stop. They start it, then realize the character is a side character they don't have time for, or see an opportunity for a joke and take it at the expense of any developement they already made, they try to fast track to fight scenes they used to deliver exceptionally, but without Monty feel flat(they still look great or even better graphics-wise, but they lack the flow or clean transitions), they need to up their game writing characters.
