* CracksInTheIcyFacade: Began as a Wilford loyalist, not batting an eye when freezing limbs of insurgent passengers, including ''[[WouldHurtAChild children]]''. In the course of the series, Andrew's optimism starts to rub more and more on them, and start reflecting on her past, the first time when meeting the little daughter of the woman she mutilated (said mother having volunteered to protect her daughter Ruth originally wanted to punish). In the end of the series, she joined Andrew's colony in East Africa.

* SilentTreatment / TranquilFury: Being a [[JustForPun Teal]] belt of PolitenessJudo, Ruth has a well-mannered (if condescending) word for everyone, even those she personally dislikes. You know you're in deep shit with her when she stops speaking to you altogether, as [[spoiler:Melanie]] finds out. [[spoiler:It's even more unsettling when, on the wake of her HeelRealization, she goes from enthusiastically greeting and fawning over Mr. Wilford whenever they meet at the border, to not uttering a single word at him when they fetch him to repair the Engine afteer it's clear he sabotaged it in the first place. For the audience, it subtly invokes NothingIsScarier]].

* BadassInCharge: Of the Jackboots; a bastard he may be, but the Night Car battle shows he's an incredibly formidable hand-to-hand-fighter, killing numerous rebels himself before being forced to flee.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In the pilot episode he objects to the Tailies taking a moment with old Ivan's body, as he's clearly suspicious, but is overriden by Till's humanely wanting to give them a moment to say goodbye. He's right, and the Tailies switch Ivan with Z-Wreck to ambush them and kick off an new rebellion.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterDevelopment: A very interesting case, in that the core of her character remains consistent throughout the entire series, but how she expresses it changes so drastically she's one of the show's best examples of character development. At the core of Ruth's character is her UndyingLoyalty to the train and its passengers. She is on Wilford's side when she equates him with the train, and his social structure with what's best for it. When she witnessed how Layton's system improves the passengers' actual lives and, especially, how much [[spoiler:Wilford]] disregards the passengers and the train's very safety so long as [[spoiler:he]] gets to be in charge, she switches sides for good. By season 3, she's actively putting her life and well-being at risk against the current ruler ([[spoiler:Wilford]]) for the good of all passengers, encourages the overcoming of the class system and warmly embraces the plan of [[spoiler:finding New Eden]] to give all passengers hope, and a shot at a safer, more normal life.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Considering her character arc, her tearful, incredulous smile when [[spoiler:she gets off the train and feels the sun on her face in New Eden for the first time in almost eight years]] is really heartwarming.


Added DiffLines:

** Has another one after clubbing [[spoiler:Icy Boki]] in the head with a shovel as a diversion, and realising she now has to run for her life.
* OnlySaneMan: Is this to [[spoiler:Layton and Melanie]] when the two fight over whether to [[spoiler:take Snowpiercer to New Eden or stay the course]].
->'''Ruth:''' Oh, come on, for pity's sake, ''both'' of you! [...] This isn't over. We'll figure something out.


Added DiffLines:

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: When [[spoiler:Melanie]] takes back the train hoping to avoid [[spoiler: the dangerous trip to the uncertain New Eden]], initially Ruth plays TeamSwitzerland and tries to reason with [[spoiler: her]] on behalf of [[spoiler:Layton]]. But when an increasingly desperate, severely outnumbered [[spoiler:Melanie]] considers an alliance with [[spoiler:Wilford]], Ruth is having none of that.


Added DiffLines:

* TeamSwitzerland: Still acting firmly in the whole train's interest, she plays this between the warring factions of [[spoiler:Melanie and Layton]] in the Season 3 finale, advocating for a diplomatic resolution and trying to [[OnlySaneMan talk sense into both]].


Added DiffLines:

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Starting off as a fervent Wilford supporter, to the point of zealotry, she has two such moments that cement her character developement:
** At the end of Season 2, [[spoiler:Wilford himself offers her a job as [[TheDragon Head of Hospitality]] on the condition that [[KickTheDog she be]] the one to announce they're leaving Melanie stranded in The Freeze. Ruth refuses.]]
** In the Season 3 finale, she plays TeamSwitzerland but remains by [[spoiler:Melanie]]'s side while trying to solve the crisis at hand. When [[spoiler:Melanie considers an alliance with Wilford, Ruth is horrified and [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere bolts out]] of the car]].
--->'''Ruth:''' Well, I'm sorry. But I've spent too long redeeming myself to go back now.

* FireForgedFriends: Initially can't stand Layton and hates working with them - but their common experiences finding the serial killer gradually awaken her empathy and bring her round to his desire for freedom. While there's a fair few ups and downs after this, she never stops believing him, even describing him as her best friend at the end of season 3.
