Ruby Rose



"That's Ruby Rose, the leader of Team RWBY. She's here to help not only me, but also the Preschool Girls, even for their boss, Miles Callisto, and the rest of her Future Alliance comrades, not to be confused with the Preschool Girls' beloved leader, Ruby Ramirez."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Rise of Team RWBY

However, following the Fall of Beacon, Ruby travels to Haven as a member of Team RNJR until Team RWBY's reunion at Haven Academy.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, she helps the Preschool Girls (and later including the Sonic Alliance), including Su Ji-Hoon, into their adventures throughout World War III.
