History: http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Ruby_Rose

Personality:

Ruby is a young girl who's constantly trying her best. Her friends see her as someone enthusiastic, quirky, stubborn, and sometimes a little overbearing. For the most part her friends are completely right. Ruby embodies all of these traits.  In a way she behaves the way a normal sixteen-year old should. She's a dreamer and she wants to be like one of those heroes in the fairytales.  In truth, Ruby is always honest with herself and wishes to see her dreams become a reality. 

Initially Ruby comes across as a socially awkward individual.  On her first day of school she blew up, saw a guy vomit, and got yelled at by a weird girl.  Most of these incidents were her fault. She'll be the first to admit that she isn't the best at socializing. Her priorities are a little skewed. She enjoys the company of weapons more than people. Thanks to this trait of hers she has difficulty making friends. That isn't to say that Ruby hates socializing. She simply has trouble reaching out to others. Both Weiss and Blake don't enjoy having Ruby around at first. They find her to be a bit of a nuisance because she's so bizarre. Ruby is a good person and it may take someone a while to realize this. 

Unfortunately, Ruby isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Sometimes she can be a bit of an airhead. Ruby doesn't even pay attention in class and that irritates her classmates. They've given her several nicknames for her spacey attitude such as Crater face and the Braindead girl. Ruby is the type of person who plans things out at the last second instead of thinking things through. People don't call her those names for nothing. Ruby doesn't take those comments to heart and she continues to be herself in spite of all of this.

Once a person has become acquainted with Ruby more they would realize that she's strong. Her ambition and bravery is noted by her peers. Naturally, Ruby didn't get these traits from thin air. She aspired to become more like her uncle Qrow who was recognized for his unconventional fighting style and recklessness. Ruby inherited these traits from her family members. Even her sister Yang is shown to be just as courageous as Ruby herself. If something is troubling Ruby she'll do whatever she can to face it head on. She's far from a coward. In fact, her bravery inspires others like Jaune to do better. 

Ruby has the potential to become a great leader. Whenever her allies are in trouble she's quick to aid them. In most situations Ruby puts the needs of others over herself. Her quick judgments saved the day on more than one occasion. Ruby was the person who brought her team together in spite of their differences. She's able to behave in a manner fitting for a leader. At first, this irritates Weiss as she questions Ruby's maturity and inexperience. However, Ruby tries her best to be sensible because that's what people expect of her.

It's easy to forget that Ruby isn't all sunshine and roses. She is burdened with many grievances that she has accumulated over time. The loss of her mother Summer devastated her. Ruby is shown to have nightmares related to this incident in spite of her sunny demeanor. This doesn't stop Ruby from behaving in a friendly and approachable way. Normally most people don't even know that Ruby is so troubled. However, she only discusses her issues with people she feels comfortable with such as friends and family. At the end of the day Ruby is still a minor. She cannot correct all the wrongs in the world by herself. Sometimes she suffers losses for playing the role of the hero. Despite that, Ruby continues to move on with her head high. She's tenacious and is able to endure a lot of hardship.

Something important to say about Ruby is that she doesn't discriminate against others. Her  kind nature extends to nonhumans and various beings. Ruby doesn't care what people are made of or where they come from. She'll treat people politely if they aren't going to hurt anyone. To her what's important is on the inside. Ruby befriends both the Faunus and robots.  Her ability to accept people is somewhat shocking to some. At first even Penny has difficulty believing that Ruby is so sympathetic.

So to summarize this all briefly Ruby is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve. It's not difficult to tell what she's feeling at any given time.  She's so earnest that it's almost surprising. Ruby may not be the smartest person but she's always running forward. Her courage is boundless and it inspires others.  
 

Inventory: 

Crescent Rose: A giant oversized scythe with a built in sniper rifle. It's collapsible for convenience. Ruby created the weapon herself. It runs on a special type of Dust ammunition. With it Ruby can shoot fire, ice, electricity and gravity shots. 

Her dog: Zwei. He's a smart puppy that accompanies Ruby sometimes. 

Abilities:  

Combat skill: Ruby is an excellent Scythe wielder. She doesn't shy from combat and she loves weapons. 

Semblance: Ruby has the ability to move at super high speeds. At times it may seem like she's teleporting from place to place. Sometimes she leaves behind a trail of rose petals. 


Flaws: 
Ruby's agressive demanor brings trouble to things around her. On one instance she nearly attacked her teammates by accident. Another time she chopped down several trees out of sheer frustration. Her tendency to be destructive irritates her peers. Weiss in particular finds Ruby to be annoying because of it. 


Her most trusted allies think that she could learn to slow down, but Ruby never does so. Being too headstrong is most certainly a bad thing for Ruby. Sometimes her intentions are misunderstood as a result of her brash action.

Action Log Sample: 

Ruby's jaw drops in shock as she sees the vicious monster approach her.  It doesn`t look like it`s here to make friends. She`s seen beasts like that before and she knows how strong it is by a glance. This could mean trouble for her.

`What the heck is that and why is it after me???? I'm sorry! "

The monster doesn't change its stance even after Ruby apologies. It seems like talking things out peacefully isn't an option. With that Ruby draws out her trusty scythe. She's not about to let herself become dog food here. 

Before she engages in combat she thinks about her teammates. She wonders if they're safe or if they're in danger like her.  Ruby can only hope that she gets out of this situation alive. There are still many things she wishes to do and she won't allow herself to be taken out so easily. She glares at the monster standing before her and yells.

"Now you're just asking for it!!! I'm not going easy on you!! YOU JERK!!"

 Ruby charges at the enemy with high speeds. For a second it almost seems like she vanishes into thin air. Her semblance has always allowed her to escape from terrible situations. Thankfully, she's able to rely on it here too even when things seem hopeless.   The monster is unable to follow her and looks up in confusion.

"I got you now!!"

She swings at the ferocious beast with her weapon.  When the attack connects the monster t lets out a loud roar. In that moment it seems like everything comes to a brief halt. Even Ruby doesn't know what to anticipate. She's fought against Grimm but this Brontos is completely different. It could be planning something so Ruby stands on guard. All she can do is brace herself for whatever attack it may have up its sleeves. Ruby wishes that someone would come help her out of this  bind.

If things get too bad she can always escape.  Retreat is an option that she considers. Ruby just wants to get out of this nightmare alive. She never thought that her day would turn out like this.
