It’s so hard being a multishipper in the RWBY fandom because your favorite ships will have discourse and possibly hate each other and you’re just like

RWBY Parallels V5, V8, and V9

Ruby’s hand-to-hand combat.

V5E3: Ozpin, “Getting you four in fighting shape… (points to Ruby) You can only fight so long as you have Crescent Rose, but you’re still lacking in hand-to-hand combat.”

V8E14: Ruby loses Crescent Rose. While she had some coaching from Ozpin in volume 5 and tries to engage in hand-to-hand combat against Neo in volume 8, it’s clear she heavily relied upon her weapon. I expect in volume 9, we will start to see her branch out of her comfort zone to other styles of combat. I hope Yang is going to coach her a bit more in the art of hand-to-hand.

Ruby is purity.

V5E5: Blake, “Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, ‘They are the personification of this word’? …I remember getting to know Ruby and thinking, ‘This girl is the embodiment of purity.’ After a while, I saw Weiss was defiance. And Yang was strength.”

V9: The quote from season 5 about Ruby being purity reminded me of the poem Child of the pure unclouded brow from Alice in Wonderland that speaks of losing one’s sunny face and silver laughter. Ruby's purity and silver eyes may be why she is tied to the weather in this version of Wonderland. The last stanza of the poem especially stood out to me.

And though the shadow of a sigh May tremble through the story, For ‘happy summer days’ gone by, And vanish’d summer glory – It shall not touch with breath of bale The pleasance of our fairy-tale.

How do you handle all of this?

V5E5:

Oscar to Ruby, “How do you handle all of this? …How can you be so confident? People have tried to kill you. The world’s about to go to war all over again. How are you okay with any of this?”

Ruby to Oscar, “When Beacon fell, I lost two of my friends: Penny Pollendina and Pyrrha Nickos. I didn’t know them for very long but that doesn’t change the fact they were two of the most kind-hearted people I’d ever met. But that didn’t save them. Pyrrha thought if there was even the smallest chance of helping someone that it was a chance worth taking, and because of that, she died fighting a battle she knew she couldn’t win. And Penny was killed just to make a statement… I am scared but not just for me. What happened at Beacon shows Salem doesn’t care if you’re standing against her or not. She’ll kill anybody, and that scares me most of all. Pyrrha, Penny, I’d be lying if I said that it didn’t hurt, that I didn’t think about them every day since I lost them, that I didn’t wish I had spent more time with them. If it had been me instead, I know they would have kept fighting too, no matter how dangerous it was. So that’s what I choose to do: to keep moving forward."

V8E14: Penny is still fighting even after Ruby and Blake fell.

V9 Intro: While Ruby could still keep a positive outlook in Volume 5 after the initial loss of Penny, I can't imagine Ruby keeping the same outlook in Volume 9 after round 2 of losing Penny.

Think back to Beacon

V5E7: Ren, “That desire to go back and tell yourself not to be so stupid. That just proves you’re not the person you used to be. You’re smarter or kinder or stronger, and you’re not done growing yet.”

V9 Trailer: “What are you going to be?”

In Alice in Wonderland, Alice says, "Mabel, I’ll stay down here! It’ll be no use they're putting their heads down and saying ‘Come up again, dear!’ I shall only look up and say ‘Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I’ll come up: if not, I’ll stay down here till I’m somebody else’—but, oh dear!” cried Alice, with a sudden burst of tears, “I do wish they would put their heads down! I am so very tired of being all alone here!”

I think Ruby's younger self speaking to her older self is meant to mirror the conversations Alice has about who she is and who she will become.

If Ruby sticks around…

V5E7: Yang, “If Ruby sticks around, then I will too. If there’s one thing I know about her, it’s that she somehow always knows the right thing to do.”

V9 Trailer: Unknown voice (though it sounded similar to Salem to me), “You never were the hero... You seem to be carrying a rather large burden with you. What if you could leave Ruby Rose behind, shed like an old coat? What might happen if you don’t?"

Will the team have to face this question? What growth will Ruby have to go through to keep fighting and to continue being a leader?

I'm still rewatching the other seasons, but I found some of these moments interesting to compare, and I am excited to see Ruby's growth especially!

Evolution of White Knight in RWBY (Volume 8)

Episode 8.11 “Risk” has a small set of moments toward the end. Jaune had been amplifying Weiss’ aura, but was called away to do the same for Penny. As he leaves, Weiss is seen staring at him in worry. Later, when he’s able to help Penny overcome her virus program, the team rushes over to express their relief. Weiss is the only one in the group who sends a proud look at Jaune, even giving him a touch on the shoulder. Later, Weiss has tears in her eyes that she wipes away, and Jaune sends her an affectionate look.

Episode 8.14 “The Final Word” has the two team up with Penny to take on Cinder after Yang, Blake, Ruby and Neo fell to the void, and with Emerald, Ren, Nora, and Oscar in Vacuo. When Cinder’s arm freaks out and she mentions “she’s back,” Jaune and Weiss shared a surprised look with each other, knowing she’s referring to Salem. Later, when newly minted winter maiden Winter enters the fight against Cinder, Jaune is seen helping an injured Weiss off the battlefield. Cinder spots them making their escape to the portal and fires off a blast. Jaune hears its approach and tries to block it, but it’s too powerful and sends the two falling back (notably, Jaune has his arm extended out so that if they were to be pushed back more, Jaune’s arm would at least cushion Weiss’ landing), to which Cinder has another blast ready. Jaune’s aura breaks and he falls to the side, but Weiss falls off completely into the void. When Jaune sees a depressed Winter land on the bridge and doesn’t see Weiss, he has a distressed look on his face.

And this is the last bit until we see what happens in Volume 9. Will they interact? Will they not? I don’t know where this relationship is going, but hopefully it doesn’t take a nosedive after all the uphill climbing it’s done.

Fingers crossed for good things to happen in Volume 9.

Using Fairy Tales to explain RWBY Plots (Penny in Volume 8)

Pinocchio is supposed to die in his story, but his father obviously doesn’t want that. So how does this translate into RWBY? The father argues with the personification of death, The Grimm Reaper, to keep his child alive. The Grimm Reaper (Maria) responds, saying that it’s time for Pinocchio (Penny) to go.

While on the way to school, Pinocchio gets conned and hunted by the Honest Fox. Penny (Pinocchio) is being hunted by the Hound (who secretly is a fox)

Stromboli, runner of the puppet show, captures Pinocchio so he can perform for him around the world. Ironwood (Stromboli) is trying to capture Penny (Pinnochio) because he needs her power.

After proving himself brave, truthful, and unselfish, the Blue Fairy comes back to give Pinocchio a real body. Team RWBY gets a blue magical entity (Ambrosius) to turn Penny (Pinnochio) into a real girl.

Pinocchio was supposed to go to school, but got caught up smoking with Lampwick. How does this translate to RWBY? Well, Pinocchio (Penny) was supposed to go to school (Vacuo), but got caught up smoking (Cinder) with Lampwick (Neo, the new Torchwick)
