I doubt Ruby will ever fall at all. She's the simple and honest soul who wants to do good in the world out of genuine altruism and can't be corrupted.

We never see anything stopping Ruby. She had many losses but none of these actually affect her. Even though her theme song implies otherwise, the opening scene of Volume 3 shows us that s he came to terms with her mother's death. Even though she failed her mission in the finale of Volume 2 and a lot of innocent got hurt for her mistakes, she brushed it off. Even though she  witnessed  Penny's and Pyrrha's deaths plus her sister losing an arm and her fire, none of it affects Ruby on the long run. Sure, she cried for all of them but got over it in a matter of minutes.

Ruby is a pretty straight forward protagonist. Dark themes like despair and doubt have never affected her so I doubt it will at some point in the future.
