Overview
"Ah, this looks interesting. Mind if I join the fight?"
Backstory
The main protagonist of RWBY and Yang Xiao Long's younger half-sister. Ruby Rose always dreamed of becoming a Huntress like the great heroes talked about in fairy tales. After a chance incident, Headmaster Ozpin extends Ruby an invitation to attend Beacon academy after seeing her skills first hand. Ruby accepts the invitation and begins attending Beacon academy to begin her training to become a Huntress. Soon after, she became the leader of a newly formed team of Huntresses with Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long called Team RWBY.
Playstyle
Ruby Rose wields a weapon called the Crescent Rose, a weapon crafted by herself that's a hybrid between a scythe and a high caliber sniper rifle. The weapon is capable of transforming into a scythe or a sniper rifle, though it can fire bullets in either form. In the show, she also frequently made use of the recoil from firing bullets from Crescent Rose to propel her in different directions, giving her extra mobility and maneuverability.
All of this is adapted directly into Ruby's playstyle to create a very well rounded character. The Crescent Rose gives many normals that have great reach and hit in a wide arc, allowing her to fight up close very well. She has specials where she fires the Crescent Rose, giving her ranged options to fight from afar. And finally, her Gun Blast special allows her to propel herself forward, backward and at different angles in the air, giving her extra movement options in neutral.

Semblance: Petal Burst
Ruby's semblance grants her super speed, going fast enough to manipulate the wind and often leaving rose petals in her wake. In gameplay, this allows her to pass through opponents when doing certain attacks, making it easy to change sides and enforce left-right mix-ups or to put opponents in the corner even if it is behind Ruby.
