Look, a while ago when we the fandom were speculating on what would happen in Volume 2 (and what we think SHOULD happen in Volume 2) someone brought up the idea that Ruby was the chosen one of some kind of prophecy. Someone else said that s/he hoped that Ruby was an Unchosen one. So, I just want to know, which do you think would be more suiting for Ruby's character

To define the two sides

The Chosen One: Ultimate victim (or beneficiary) of "because destiny says so". A prophecy says that they must defeat the evil of the story to save the world. I think this idea has been overused to death, even if it is an easy way to explain why the hero is on their journey.

The Unchosen One: The ultimate perpetrator of "Screw Destiny". The Unchosen One stands up to evil not because of prophecy, but because they have the need or desire to stand up to evil (sometimes doing so in spite of prophecy. An Unchosen One is essentially a Chosen one who chooses themselves.

Besides opinions, could everyone who posts on this thread come to a consensus on how the story would play out if Ruby is the Chosen One and if she is the Unchosen One. I really want to see what you guys think would happen.
