User blog:WeissSchnee/Character Blog: Ruby Edition

The third edition of character blogs is here and this time the featured character is. . . Ruby!



So far, aside from Adam, I believe Ruby is the most mysterious character. Monty did say on one occasion that Ruby’s trailer was made more to show of Crescent Rose to Burnie, therefore we don’t get to see as much of Ruby’s character and personality as we d with the other girls. That being said, I will do my best to come up with some interesting discussion points.



First off, I think Ruby suffered a great tragedy growing up, and that the grave she’s looking at at the beginning of her trailer may belong to her mother, grandmother or sister. I think that perhaps after the person’s death, Ruby took up their job/ mission.



Ruby seems totally unafraid of the Beowolves, as evidenced by the fact that she’s seen smirking or smiling more than once in her trailer. This leads me to believe that she’s had experience with them for a long time, perhaps since she was a child. This ties into my previous theory about her loosing someone important early in life. If said person was killed by a Beowolf, maybe Ruby made it her mission to wipe them out.



Ruby is highly capable in combat, leading me to wonder if maybe she’s been practicing or has been trained all her life. She wields and uses the Crescent Rose with absolute precision in both forms, and is agile even at high velocity.



Now, Ruby’s outfit brings up a few interesting points. It’s obviously an illusion to Red Riding Hood, but with an edge of gothic Lolita thrown in. There’s also the presence of crosses on her belt and as pins for her cloak. Now, I have to wonder if this means that Ruby belongs, or belonged at one point, to some sort of religious order. Then again, they could just be there to look cool. Only Monty and his team really know at this point.



All through Ruby’s trailer, we see this serious, confident and unafraid girl who kicks serious wolf butt, but at the end of Yang’s trailer, we get to see a different, lighter side of Ruby. This makes me wonder of the cheerful, bright Ruby is just a front that she puts up so people will be fooled into thinking she’s alright and will stop worrying/ fussing over her. Then, when she’s alone or in combat, this facade slips away.



So, to wrap things up, I think there’s a lot more to Ruby than meets the eyes. While she may not be the obvious choice to lead Team RWBY, I think she’ll be the right one.
