Personally I worry at times this may be because they want her to be a "simple soul" and have some misguided notion this means that her character shouldn't develop at all in reaction to stimulus... Like the writers are looking at the plot and thinking "how does Ruby respond to this?..." then the writers room devolves into M&K freaking out; "OMGWTF HAVE WE DONE TO OUR SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE!" and finally just deciding "you know what... Ruby feels nothing about this, we can just move on, nothing to see here..." They have spent ample time developing Jaune though who, in earlier volumes, was more sheltered than Ruby ever was and yet he is one of the more developed characters in the show. You would think the perceived main character of the show would get at least basic backstory and motives but it seems as if Yang is becoming the main character of the series
