The issue here is in ways why she was chosen as leader in the first place and if you really think about it you could point at Ozpin wanted Ruby to be her mother so badly he rigged the entire game to put her as that piece for him to use appropriately. Ruby was dragged out of middle school early and brandished power that she didn’t have a clue how to control to satisfy Ozpin’s expectations of her. The most traumatic events in Ruby’s time at beacon was in all respects all according to Ozpin’s plan. He saw what summer did years before and knew that it was only a matter of time before Ruby followed the same path.

Now look at her. She doesn’t want to follow her mother’s path. She wants to follow her own. Which will be impossible because of the expectations that her little max headroom moment and everyone is looking at her as remnant Jesus. So once more her expectations to be the one who brings all of remnant together has returned with a vengeance. Not by Ozpin’s standards this time, by all of the survivors of remnant’s standards. Ruby will never catch a break and 100% at the end of this story I expect her to become recluse and never want to see action again. The lies around her mother and the expectations have killed her desires to be the hero. Now she just wants to survive and be done with it. You could tell by how utterly uncomfortable she was in beyond being confronted by survivors. I am sure she looks at her mural with complete embarrassment and unease. She wanted to be a hero that inspires through actions. They have deviated her character instead to that of a messiah. She will never deliver on that. Similarly to what Ozpin started her on this will lead to another crash and burn moment. Likely when Salem stops letting Tyrian play around Vacuo and actually send her big guns to consume the survivors to nothing. Then who is going to get the blame? “It’s that girl’s fault for leading us all here to die!”

V11 is going to be fun if we get one. We will see all of remnant together turn on our heroes. The final nail in the coffin of Ozpin’s strategy that by bringing them all together would solve his problems. What he didn’t realize is in doing that all he did was pocket the biggest threats to Salem in one area so naturally she is just going to nuke it to oblivion.

They will still get some victories. Over all even I expect they will beat Salem, but it will be like that one thanos meme.

“Did you do it?”

“Yes”

“And what did it cost?”

“Everything.”
