In a alternate timeline where RWBY as a show was thought of more earlier on, this Ruby the original design. But unlike the rest she was left behind and the Ruby we all know was chosen instead of her so she was left behind.

She is sort of alone she has friends but she feels very alone at times but remains as cheerful as possible, if you befriend her or were from the original or modern series. She will befriend you as soon as possible to know how the series is going.
