I don't exactly think any of the other members of RWBY had any leadership qualfications. At best I could imagine Blake possibly led missions for the white fang, but I don't think she could use those to get her into beacon since she is on the run from them.

Her qualfications were most certainly based on who took charge of the situation and who followed the lead of someone else. That and considering they are first year students the logical thing should be that they would get further training in regards to leadership through their time at beacon academy.

[up] to be fair it is not exactly a normal Ruby considering the whole being stabbed through the spine and everything that comes along with said injury.

[up]I feel Ruby is kinda like Capitan america or Superman in that is niceness and general personality led her to be the leader, is just the lack of a role kinda undermines that.

I don't get the impression niceness factored into her being made leader.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Not sure how deep she would have planned it, but I can see Ruby chucking a Grimm into a corporate boardroom meeting if only because some dudes were being jerks to Weiss.

Well when your girlfriend could be qualified as a living weapon it wouldn't be the worse plan in the world. A lot better than having your daughter fight a grim jammed into a suit of armor in an attempt to prove a point or starting a brawl in a club when you don't get the information you ask for.

Wyld: is more her personality: she is very goal oriented with little angst and doubt, maker her suited to lead, Yang is to reckless, Weiss is wreck by self doubt and Blake is to affect by her past.

Is just that by lack of devolptment, she have become the worst in that way.

Pretty sure it is also better than going to the assassination attempt on the former leader of the organization you work for rather than leaving it to the regular members to handle.

Is it better than having your enemies frozen in place in front of you, but choosing to have a conversation instead of attacking before they thaw themselves free?

Does anyone think that Blake will apologize to her friends in volume 6, or is that going to be something we skip over?

I mean, if a girl I knew saved my sister's life after being stabbed by her crazy aggressive ex-boyfriend, abandoned me and my friends to the uncaring politics of a post-9/11 world, and ghosted me for several months on a journey to find herself without so much as a Facebook update...

...and then showed up in the middle of the Battle of Five Armies wearing Blake's V4 outfit and hugged me, I'd forgive her pretty quick.

But I guess I don't really have a female's perspective on this.

Hardly the Battle of the Five Armies, more like the Battle of One Army and eight random terrorists.

Eight of the most professional, deadliest, mean-est sum-b'tches in the splinter group that Adam could find. They were assigned to his personal detail, so surely they were some of his best. Surely.

They most definitely were not the kind of mooks who get taken down by some peasants with pitchforks and comically large wooden body shields.

You'd think so but they all seemed incredibly incompetent and looked like generic mooks.

Also, Yang is definitely the one owed an apology, moreso than Weiss and Ruby.

Kinda weird how despite bringing a couple hundred random faunus (most of which were armed), they did not attempt to surround Adam or prevent him from escaping.

Surely it didn't take all two hundred of them to take down eight random White Fang members, right?

They also had the police and air support; so why no moves to take down the ringleader?

The police were there.

They had airships.
