Ruby doesn't have several personalities, nor a cold blooded killing side like people seem to think.

A few points to argue. Looking back at Yang's trailer, we can sometimes see flashes of white where she erhm. . .  hit the baddies. With a little fridge logic, we can determine that would be their aura protecting them (as according to Pyrrha, aura seems to be common knowledge). Now, we all know she used the BACK side of Crescent Rose, the part with no sharp blades to rend her foes apart. And if we pay attention to some points, you can see indicators similar to those in Yang's trailer that make it appear asthough they may have used aura to protect themselves there as well. Those henchmen are definitely alive.

Second, the trailer for Ruby is NON-CANON. Monty, the great creator himself, stated that Ruby's trailer was not a prelude, but rather a "weapon resume." It was meant to show off her style, character design, and her weapon, Crescent Rose. That Ruby is NOT our Ruby from the series proper. So don't reference that either.

And Monty himself stated that Ruby's lack of a fear of death is due to her childish personality and her innocence. There is no other reason (such as her (god forbid) being an avatar of death itself or some such nonsense) besides that Ruby, much like a toddler, has yet to develop a fear of this.

Seriously guys, nix this idea. Ruby has one personality. That is the adorable, hyperactive, quirky, and childish girl with a massive sweet tooth, engineering and weapon crafting skills on par with a professional, and the social skills of a toaster. She laughs, cries, and gets angry in ways that make her seem less threatening and more hug-worthy. But she is not a cold blooded murderer. Grimm are one thing. But she will NOT kill anything with a soul. At least not in the forseeable future.
