I wanted to share some thoughts about Ruby’s character.



She’s one of my favorite RWBY characters (tied with Weiss), and honestly, I still feel bad that the last major moment we got from her in the show was her breakdown in Volume 9. Even though she eventually overcomes it, it doesn’t erase the fact that she reached a point where she tried to end her own life.

I also feel like Ruby deserves a lot more love and focus within the series. In my opinion, she didn’t really get strong character development until Volume 9, and while I appreciated it, it also felt a bit rushed (though that’s just my personal take).

On top of that, one of the most recent pieces of media we’ve seen featuring Ruby is her Death Battle episode against Maka. The fight itself was really well animated and genuinely great, and I enjoyed watching it, but seeing Ruby die again (even if it isn’t canon) still hit harder than I expected.

What bothered me even more was seeing comments like "I’m happy Ruby lost and died" And I was just thinking… seriously? Ruby is such a kind and pure-hearted character that it feels wrong to see that kind of reaction toward her. Yes, I know what happened in Volume 8 and how divisive things can get, but still.

Anyway, I just wanted to share how I feel, and I’d love to hear what you guys think. Maybe I’m overthinking it a bit and only focusing on the bad things, but i really want Vol10 to happen to see more of our beloved characters.

I hope i'm not the only one in this....
