ROUND 1B! MATCH 4 OUT OF 8
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Ruby Lucas:
she's cool, and a werewolf!
She's a red/big bad wolf combo, she's bi, she gets tragically underused like so many OUaT characters
She’s a werewolf :)
We first see her as Ruby in Storybrooke where she's initially depicted as a fun-loving flirt who spends her nights most likely in a bar while wearing revealing clothes that her grandma disapproves of (and is all in red. Absolutely everything). She lives with her grandma who runs a diner and that's where Ruby works. When Emma wakes up the sleeping town, she tries to leave Granny's and ends up helping in a case that Emma's working on by following her nose. That episode also has her backstory, but when we first see her as Red in the Enchanted Forest, she's confident and helpful and not afraid to use her lycanthropy. But the start of her story has her being an innocent young woman with a love for discovering the world and her boyfriend Peter (of Peter and the Wolf, I guess). She meets Snow while still living with her Granny in her cabin in the woods and takes her in. She's so hopeful - and then she turns into a werewolf and kills Peter (after they all thought he was the werewolf and had chained him to a tree). She is obviously quite traumatized by this and takes off with Snow. But that and her subsequent adventures gives her the growth she needs to be comfortable in her own skin, whether human or wolf. And, when the curse breaks completely, you can see the change in her - she would absolutely walk through fire to help Snow and the other good guys.
Another version where Red Riding Hood also ends up being the Big Bad Wolf. She eats her boyfriend which is sad but she falls in love with Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz in like Season 5. Her red cloak is what keeps her in human form which I think is neat. When all the storybook characters are transported to the modern world, she runs a diner with Granny.
She's one of my favorite characters from Once Upon a Time. She's a cool Red Riding hood wolf girl who is bi and has seen like 3 of her love interests and her mother die. She slays very hard so I nominate her. (Also I used to have a crush on her as a kid)
VOTE RUBY LUCAS FROM ONCE UPON A TIME. SHE WAS IGNORED BY THE WRITERS SO MUCH SHE DESERVES THIS SO MUCH. QUEER ICON!!!
Ruby Rose:
She has a scythe that is also a high-impact sniper rifle.
She is literally just based on Red Riding Hood and she's such an amazing character holy heck
Red Riding Hood but with a gun. (Specifically a combination scythe/high-impact sniper rifle called Crescent Rose). Also she's gone through so much she deserves it. She's trying to save the world and keep going despite all the people she's lost. Grew up dreaming of being a hero who fights monsters. She knows life isn't a fairy tale and wants to make it better. Just went through a mental health arc where she had depression from trying to live up to her (presumed dead) mom and from her friend dying for the second time. Killed the Big Bad Wolf with her magic eye powers. Her sister is Goldilocks and her friends are Beauty and Snow White. also I love her <3
She’s the little red riding hood but also a powerful fighter with a massive fucking scythe that is also a sniper rifle and she’s so skrunkly and so gender. Also RWBY’s whole thing (well one of them) is that their characters are all inspired by pre-existing ones from older stories and Ruby’s the main character so like, poster child of ‘character based off [insert relevant fairytale here]’ so I think she deserves to at least get pretty far
Aesthetics, themes, meta, personality and raw coolness.
She is the main character of her show. The most common monster they fight is a type of wolf (its been a while since ive seen it). Her job is to hunt them down before they can eat her. this story is very much about failed fairy tales, many of the side character's inspired arcs end in failure, but (having not seen the most recent bits) Ruby is still going strong, and i really like her cape, rose petals, and use of a scythe.
She is THE RRH character of all time. She has a scythe that's also a gun and she has to be the hero because she's got super rare main character powers. She is my happy girl. Also her mom was Sleeping Beauty and her sister is Goldilocks, and she fights to stop Rapunzel from destroying everything on the world, the gods, and then herself.
Ruby as a character is literally based on little red riding hood! She has a red cape with a hood
the Red trailer is better propaganda than I could ever write
She is a badass with a scythe, inspired by her uncle and fueled by her mother's death and her sense of righteousness
She has a giant scythe

As a “Human Expert” I think he would have some choice words to say to her
Translation:
Alberto, mocking: “Hiding among the humans”
Alberto: GIRL YOURE BLUE
Alberto: No wonder that Ariel-Wannabe found you out!! Goddamn, I mean, is everyone BlIND?? Is that it?? Everyone’s blind, and she’s the ONLY ONE with EYES???

For the character bingo: Ruby, Maleficent and Regina?
Ruby:
Is there something I don't love about Ruby? The way she was treated by the writers. She disappeared for way too long and then had her endgame rushed. Other than that, she's absolutely perfect. Tragic-backstory, torn-by-guilt, loyal-badass perfection package. Can I marry her already? I will treat her so much better.
Regina:
Regina is kind of my og blorbo. There have been blorbos before her but none that caused the absolute brainrot, eclipse-of-the-mind, psychological-damage insanity that Regina caused. She was too much like me or vice versa back at the time and I was compelled. I still very much am but not to that extent as I've somewhat moved on from OUAT now. Still, she's fascinating as a character. The metas are right there, ready for the writing! There is *a lot* to explore with her, her relationships with the other characters are so rich and full of food-for-thought baggage and, god, she deserved better writing in those last few seasons. #ShadowQueen4ever
Maleficent:
Mal is a very different breed from any other character on the show. I don't think we've seen anyone so well-rounded, yet so hard to grasp in their entirety. She's just so much character. She is emotional but cold and distant, she's wise but cruel, she's mysterious but very honest. How does she do it? I am in awe. And her aura? Giving off both class and dignity and the ancient terror and mysticism of a dragon? I cannot wrap my mind around her. I just wish they would have written her in as the main character and let Kristin Bauer work her magic for the whole of seven seasons. Damn!
