The loss of an eye in the fanfiction would impact Ruby's character arc in several ways. Firstly, it could lead to her questioning her identity as a huntress. She might wonder if she's still capable of protecting others. This self - doubt could cause her to become more withdrawn at first. However, as the story progresses, she could learn from this experience and emerge as a more empathetic and cautious huntress. Also, it could change her relationships with her friends. They might see her in a new light, and she would have to re - establish trust and camaraderie with them, which is an important part of her character arc development.
She often becomes more resilient. Losing an eye is a major trauma, but it can also be a catalyst for growth. Ruby may learn to rely more on her other senses and her instincts. For example, she could become better at sensing danger without relying solely on her vision.
The betrayal could also make her more empathetic. Ruby might start to understand why people betray others, whether it's due to desperation, greed, or being mislead. This new understanding could make her more forgiving in the long run, but also more determined to prevent future betrayals from happening within her circle of friends and allies.
The OC could inspire Ruby. If the OC is really brave and fearless, Ruby might strive to be more like that. For instance, if the OC doesn't hesitate to jump into a dangerous situation to save someone, Ruby could learn from that and become more confident in her own actions.
Ruby might become more isolated. Her new powers set her apart from others. Her friends may not be able to fully understand what she is going through, and she may start to feel alone in her new state of being. For instance, she may have powers that are beyond their comprehension, and simple conversations about daily battles or hunts become difficult as she now has a different perspective on power and danger.
There's also the possibility that it shatters her innocence completely. She could lose her naivete and become more cynical. This would change her relationships with her friends. Some might be scared of her new, darker side, while others might try to bring back the old Ruby. But overall, her journey would be one of self - discovery and trying to come to terms with the fact that she has taken a life.
She could develop a more cynical view of the world. In the face of abuse, her naivete might be replaced with a sense of wariness. For example, she may be less likely to trust new people or situations easily. Ruby might also become more determined in a different way. Instead of being determined to be a great huntress in the normal sense, she could be determined to overcome the abuse and prove that she can't be broken.
One possible fanfiction could be about Ruby getting an eye patch after a dangerous battle. Maybe she loses her eye while protecting her friends from a powerful Grimm. In the fanfiction, she could struggle with the change in her appearance at first but then grow to see it as a badge of honor.
Ruby could become more cynical. Losing her friends would make her question the goodness in the world. She might start to view things in a more negative light, and her once - positive attitude could be replaced with a more jaded one.
For Weiss, Ruby's death could shatter her sense of hope. Ruby was always the one who seemed to bring light and optimism to the group. Without her, Weiss might become more cynical and withdrawn. She may also question the purpose of their fight.
It would likely make her more confident. Meeting such powerful beings would show her that she is on a significant path.
