Personally, I do love Ruby as a character - She's always the happy one people know they can rely on.

Even if that statement might get me hung, I genuinely do love her as a character!

But, why hasn't she had 'more' character developement? It's not like RT don't know how to develop characters, since all the other 3 have experienced a change in one way or another (Which each three I think was done extremely well!) To even Jaune, Ren and Nora.

I can't tell if it's Ruby bottling everything up or merely she is just the 'simple soul'. But, considering she is the main character (Or so to say, I suppose all four girls are) You'd think she would've had more then likely the most throughout the volumes but it's just not the case.

I don't know why it's got me thinking of Link, and how he doesnt speak (botw btw) is because he has so many people looking towards him and their expectations. Is it possible Ruby keeps up her bravado merely to contend with everyones expectations of her? We can tell her mothers death greatly affected her by how she continously goes to the grave, and talks to her 'mother' whilst leaving a note for her father at the end of volume 3 (Although, I do suppose it's because her Mother can't exactly read the note, and if she stayed to talk to him he would've stopped her) bUtT Why doesn't she ever seem to be show this to her peers.

What is your view on her developement or should I say, 'lack'?
