Anyway...I've been hearing through the grapevine that a very specific facet of Ruby's character is that she doesn't know to fear death. This implies that at some point she'll have a near death experience that completely shifts her perspective.

Perhaps Jaune's aura is what saves her. Out of sheer impassioned refusal to let her die, he triggers an aura transfer from himself to her, an effect which has not been seen in centuries. Naturally this leaves him in a pretty questionable state as well, but it does ultimately save her.
