They all have "good" or "pure" souls but Ruby even says she just wants to help people. The others all want to be Hunters but not exactly for this reason some may want fame or recognition maybe money is a factor (we don't know if Hunters are paid for their services) some may be only doing what is epected of them(Weiss may be at Beacon because of her family) others want to prove themselves like Jaune. But Ruby has the purest of intentions, the simplest soul. I don't think Ruby's intentions are so pure. It's been heavily implied that Ruby's mother or mother-figure was killed by the Grimm. I think Ruby's true motives for becoming a huntress involve avenging her mother-figure and/or being passively suicidal.
