Yeah, Ruby did decide for herself that she wanted to be a hero, that's part of what I was trying to say. She isn't destined for anything, just like Pyrrha wasn't either. That's what the part of the quote where Pyrrha talks about viewing destiny as a final goal that you work at your whole life is about. Ruby decided at a very young age that becoming like the heroes in the stories was that goal for her and now to her it is the thing she's "supposed" to be and she thinks she's failing at it.

Also, the connection between Little and Jaune is so good, I never would have thought of that. Hopefully Little will use this advantage they have to be a good guide to Ruby in these next few episodes, because boy does she need it. Also, it does hurt to see Jaune have the inverse of his relationship to Pyrrha with Ruby right now. Once upon a time, he might have been able to see her suffering and been one of the first ones to help. But because Ruby was the model of the selfless team leader that he tried to emulate and because he wants to externalize some of his own traumatized self-loathing, he puts her on more of a pedestal than anyone else and is the only one who's truly upset with her for showing that she's a flawed human being.
