Okay but this show is called RWBY, not Ruby. It's always been about the 4 of them, not just Ruby, and if one of them dies it won't be until the end and I doubt it would be Yang, especially since at the moment its looking incredibly likely that Yang is in love with Blake, so killing her off would fall under the "Bury Your Gays" trope and I'm pretty sure RT knows better than to follow that trope as well. Like, they cut out Pilot Boi mentioning a bf in part because they realized that'd make him fall under that trope and could cause backlash, especially since it'd have been the first notable explicit on-screen LGBT representation and he was also kind of a selfish asshole. I think Ilia is safe for this reason as well. Tbh if one of the MCs dies I think Ruby is most likely. I could see her committing a sacrfice to stop Salem in the end or something like that. But I'm not expecting any of the main 4 to die tbh.
