User blog comment:PisceanWaterbender/In Depth Analysis On Existing RWBY Color Palettes and What They Mean/@comment-13593058-20170517053347/@comment-5426254-20170517214107

What about Ruby's outfit being a homage to Pyrrha and Penny? Penny had a decolletage, stockings, and a small backpack when she was around, and Pyrrha had a single flowing sash held together by a single clip. Clearly Ruby took those features

Also, for the record, I actually hate how Ruby is the naive protagonist. Not because of her ideals, but because her way of handling things is rarely challenged. She still rarely learns from her mistakes, and managed to make things worse at one point. I wanted her to become wiser, smarter and cunning while retaining her principles, so that she can learn from her enemies and from experience while warming our hearts with her positivity.

All I see from her is that she keeps making cringe-worthy moments, relying on a few ass-pulling instances, all  while believing that there is very little wrong with her minset. Jeez.
