CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Ruby Rose
Age: 15
Canon: RWBY
Canon Point: Post-Season 3 Finale
Character Information: Ruby @ RWBY Wikia
Personality: Ruby is a girl who was raised on fairy tales and stories of gallant heroes - her parents among them - saving the world from the forces of evil. In many ways, it's these stories that helped shape Ruby into who she is today.
At her forefront, Ruby is a deeply altruistic person with a strong sense of justice. When she's first introduced in the series proper, she fights off a group of robbers holding up a store she was shopping at. She doesn't just scare them off, she chases after them - but only after making sure the store owner was okay first. This desire to follow in her parents' footsteps and help all the people of the world is what keeps her going and gives her the strength to fight. She even says it herself: she's studying to be a Huntress so she can be a hero like in the stories.
With that sort of altruism comes a deep sense of compassion. Ruby's friends and the care she gives out to the people she thinks of - or wants to think of - as such are a big deal for her. She'll go out of her way to help the people close to her heart, even if doing so could get her in trouble. She isn't one to judge someone just based on the outside, either; she does her best to look past the images people present to the outside world and tries to get a glimpse at who they really are. It's how she befrinded Weiss Schnee, the stuck-up heiress to an extremely controversial company. It doesn't matter if her teammate Blake Belladonna is an ex-gang member, Ruby will still worry about her and believe that she's capable of rising up above her past. She's even one of the first people to believe Yang when she said her fight in the Vytal Festival - where it seemed like Yang broke the leg of her opponent after the battle ended - was rigged. Ruby will have your back no matter what, and her utter faith in her friends and family is one of the most unshakable things in the series thus far.
This wasn't how Ruby was from Day One, however. When she first arrived at Beacon, she was more or less okay with Yang - her sister - being her only friend, and was in fact upset when she heard new students had to partner up for their entire stay at the school. This doesn't really stem from any sort of serious antisocial attitude, but more because of a bit of social awkwardness on Ruby's part. She knows how odd it is for a younger student like her to be accepted into Beacon, and she had a hard time dealing with being separated from her friends at her old school, Signal. It doesn't help that she's not really into the whole active social thing; she was clearly uncomfortable during the party for the students in season 2, and gladly grabs the first opportunity to get out of it.
Ruby's strong sense of compassion and believe in others has its downsides, of course. Ruby is extremely trusting of people of others, especially her friends, and this sort of trust is very easy to manipulate. Three of the main villains had disguised themselves as students competing the the Vytal Festival tournament, and Ruby has no hesitations at all when she tries to befriend them. This backfires horribly on her in recent events; she has such a hard time processing that Mercury might be evil that he's able to stall her and keep her out of the way while Emerald pulls off a much more sinister part of Cinder's plan.
This is because Ruby is naive. That much is obvious now. It's not all that surprising, though, with her being several years younger than all her classmates; she hasn't seen much of the world outside the safety of her home. Ruby hasn't had to face much of the horrors of the real world, and in the times she has - seeing an abandoned city overrun with Grimm, fighting off extremest resistance fighters from the White Fang - she's usually somber afterwards. It's clear that these incidents weigh heavily on her, and she has to struggle to comprehend them and not let them affect her too much.
This isn't to say that Ruby is stupid. Quite the opposite, in fact! Ruby is very intelligent, especially for someone her age. She was accepted into the most prestigious school for Huntsmen and Huntresses there is, and several years ahead of other students in her grade to boot. She's quite a decent strategist, able to put together plans on the fly in the middle of battle that can go out without a hitch, ad it's these qualities that Professor Ozpin took into account when he made her the leader of Team RWBY, a duty Ruby takes very seriously. Or... mostly seriously.
She can be a bit silly about that. She's a badass Huntress-in-Training, yes, and has helped foil the plans of Torchwick and the White Fang several times now, but it's important to remember that Ruby is still just a 15 year old girl. She still gets childishly excited about things like sleepovers with friends and cool weapons, still goofs off while slacking in class, and is generally a big ball of excited energy in new situations. Hell, her very first action as leader of Team RWBY was to declare that they would turn their dorm beds into bunk beds! And it totally worked out. It was awesome.
It's hard to see, but under the peppiness and friendliness, there's a lot of sadness and bitterness in Ruby's heart. Her mother, summer Rose, died when Ruby was very young, and it's clear that Ruby never really fully recovered from her loss. She still talks to Summer's gravestone like her mother was really there, and while her words are hopeful and loving... Ruby feels more than a little betrayed by Summer running off and disappearing in battle. Her character song "Red Like Roses pt II" (along with Word of God supporting said song) has Ruby blaming Summer for abandoning her, and having trouble moving past that death.
At first, this sadness wasn't something that consumed her. When Penny "died", Ruby was able to push past it with the sheer desire to protect Pyrrha from the incoming Nevermore. But with the ensuing chaos and tragedy after - Pyrrha's death, Yang's disfigurement, Weiss being taken back to Atlas, Blake disappearing - Ruby... mellowed out a bit, and not in a good way. She still smiles and tries to be happy for her family and friends, but she's noticeably more quiet in the aftermath of Beacon's abandonment. Thankfully, this isn't too much of a destructive force on her personality; she still wants to help people, she still wants to be with her friends, and she still wants to do the right thing.
