I'm sorry but there's no way Ruby is already 17 not that much time has passed yet.

We know she was 15 from Volumes 1-3. Volume 3 took place over the course of 4 days in Fall, then she went into a coma and woke up an unspecified time later (could've been days or weeks) but it still fall. But by the time she leaves on her journe,y it's winter so she then was 16.

Then we have the 6-8 gap. Let's assume she left in December, 6 months from that is may 8 is July so during her journey and arrival at Haven it's either late spring or mid-summer. This supports Blake's storyline being a month behind everyone in volume 5, and supports Yang's statement of being hot out if it's summer. We then know Volume 5 took place over the course of a month for RNJR and it was before the fall semester started. So by the time Volume 6 starts, it's either late August or early to mid-September.

And now we know 2 weeks have gone by for the heroes so it's still late summer but if we're being generous it's early fall. Cinder, however, is a month behind so for her it's probably the fall season. Being in a snowy forest has probably messed up everyone's sense of time but it's not actually wintering yet they're just in colder more northern parts of the continent. And volume 6 for the heroes has only been just over 24 hours from episodes 1-6. Cinder's is a bit harder but probably a week since she "woke up".

So, in conclusion, Ruby is still 16 and the other's are likely 18 and if she is 17 then the timeline is fucked and I believe in nothing 2 years couldn't have passed yet when a full year from the Fall of Beacon in-universe hasn't happened yet.
