Ruby has recieved essentially no development since the story began. She's barely on screen except for when she needs to kick off the next plot point, the rest of the time we spend with characters who actually have more than two traits to their name. That's why I say she's a plot device masquerading as a character, because even when she's in focus she's not what's interesting about what's happening, the plot is. She's nothing but a piece of the background that comes up when it suits the writers.

In fact, they've actively thrown away opportunities to develop Ruby's character. Summer's death should've been hers to talk about, she literally never even mentioned Penny once in the time they've been walking around, etc. It's like they're intentionally trying to create a boring character for the title.

I'm not ignorant because I refuse to bow down to a title character who's only a protagonist in name. Hell, if we want to decide protagonism by screentime, development, and plot focused on their journies, I'd say Blake fits the bill.
