She had a cross? Then I got another idea.

-She did with her Symbol, what Patroklos did with his fighting style in Soul Calibur 5. Patroklos used originally a more european version of Setsuna's fighting style: keep the sword sheathed, and focus on making quick, precise slashes and combos before quickly sheathing the sword again. He later scrapped this and chose to use a Sword and Shield in honor of his dead mother.

-In the same way, Ruby used to have a cross as her symbol, probably symbolic of her naive, optimistic, idealistic views of the world. But later choosed to change it for her mother's Symbol in her honor, after she started to train in Signal to become a "great Hunter, like her".
