RWBY: Ruby Uses a Different Weapon Fanfiction - What Could It Be Like?

In a fanfiction where Ruby uses a different weapon, say a mace, it would completely change the way she approaches combat. This would lead to different plot developments. For instance, she might not be as quick in battle as she is with her scythe. So, she might need to rely on her teammates more for speed - based maneuvers. Also, the enemies might perceive her differently. Instead of seeing her as a fast - moving, scythe - wielding threat, they would see her as a more brute - force attacker. This could lead to different battle strategies from the villains, which would in turn change the overall plot.

She could die in a battle against a new and extremely powerful Grimm. Maybe a Grimm that has the ability to nullify her silver eyes power and overpowers her in combat.

One interesting semblance could be the ability to manipulate time on a small scale. She could slow down time for a brief moment to dodge attacks or speed up her own movements. Another could be the power to transform into different animals, each with their own unique abilities. For example, turning into a hawk for better aerial surveillance or a bear for added strength in combat.

It could be a story full of adventure. Maybe Ruby and Reese Lemon team up to face a new threat in the RWBY universe. They might combine their unique skills, Ruby with her scythe - wielding and combat abilities, and Reese Lemon with whatever special traits or skills they have in the fanfiction, to take on powerful foes.

One interesting concept could be how Ruby's relationship with her weapon, Crescent Rose, might be explored on a deeper level. Maybe in the fanfiction, her weapon has a sentient side that only she can communicate with. This could lead to some really unique adventures where the weapon gives her advice or warns her of impending danger.

It could be that Ruby has to deal with the consequences of a major decision she made in the past. This causes her to question her leadership skills and she embarks on a journey of self - discovery to become a better leader for her team.

The plot could involve Ruby finding a balloon that has strange powers. For instance, it might allow her to fly, which is something she doesn't normally do without her scythe's recoil. This new ability could change the way she approaches battles and exploration in the RWBY world.

Well, she might have more fluid and weapon - like movements. Instead of just using her weapon, she could incorporate her own body as an extension of it. For instance, she could spin like a blade or lunge with the precision of a spear.

She might be more guarded. Qrow is a cautious person, and if he raised Ruby, she would likely pick up on some of his wariness. So instead of being as open and naive as in the original series, she could be more hesitant to trust new people right away.

It would be a whole new story. Ruby is often seen as the underdog trying to prove herself and do good. Cinder, as Ruby, would likely turn that on its head. She might take advantage of Ruby's relationships with the other characters, like her sister Yang. Maybe she would try to use Yang's protectiveness of Ruby to her advantage. And in terms of the fight against Salem, Cinder - as Ruby - could have a very different strategy. Instead of the more straightforward good - vs - evil approach that Ruby might take, Cinder could try to play both sides for her own gain.
