#ruby appreciation post

Think about it: Ruby is only a fifteen year old girl (same age as myself) and she was so wise beyond her years in this episode. Whenever Jaune was beating himself up, she was just NOPE. UH UHH. NOT GONNA DEAL WITH THIS SELF-HATING SHIT TODAY. NOPE.

I really admire that in Ruby's character. I wish I had a friend who would be just like her, immediately dismissing any self-hate she sees from a mile away and letting people know how special they are and all the things and people they're responsible for. She really understands what it means to be a leader (partially thanks to Ozpin's advice, partially just her being a total awesome badass) and that's pretty impressive for someone so inexperienced as her.

So yeah, maybe this episode didn't have any Blake/Yang and focused on the Jaune/Cardin plot (because, you know, that's the plot point right now. Shows like this one have those). But I think we all can agree that Ruby was the real star of this episode. I mean, look at this baby!
