A lot of the art/headcanons I see for AUs where Luke and Leia grew up together are in agreement that Leia beats the shit out of anyone who's mean to Luke. Which I don't disagree with, but let's not forget how Luke absolutely whaled on Vader at the mere suggestion of turning Leia to the dark side.
My point being that both twins would be ready to throw hands with anyone who upsets their sibling (despite the fact that said sibling is more than capable of doing so themself)

'all of rwb/y should have fought Adam in volume 6'
a) Ruby and Weiss have nothing to do with that fucker and would've detracted from the narrative and thematic weight of the confrontation given Blake and Yang's respective traumas he's responsible for
b) Adam is a noted coward and specifically says he waited for Blake to be alone before he attacked. if everyone had been there he would've just run off again and continued stalking Blake until he got her alone again
c) if all four of them had been there Adam would've been dead in under a minute, be fucking for real

So here's an odd little RWBY headcanon I've actually had for a while:
Obviously, Yang has been and always will be Team RWBY's designated driver. Whether on Bumblebee or any kind of car or truck, if Team RWBY is using any kind of land vehicle, Yang WILL be the one behind the wheel.
However, while Yang might be the designated driver, if/when Team RWBY gets their hands on an aircraft (or maybe spacecraft...) to use, I like the idea of Ruby being the team's PILOT.
Why exactly? A few reasons, most of them vibe-based.
Ruby's always been the most aerial-focused of her team when it comes to mobility, not counting Weiss's summon-mounts, so she feels like the one most comfortable moving in three-dimensions.
Also we have a bit of a precedent set for this with Maria, a fellow silver-eyed-warrior being the group's pilot in Volumes 6-8, so it could be fun to see Ruby follow in those footsteps. Not to mention there's a trope of ace-pilots having keen eyes, so Ruby's whole thing with her own Silver Eyes could symbolically play into that.
It also gives Ruby something to nice distinguish herself from Yang.
Finally I've always felt like if anyone on Team RWBY would be a mech-pilot, it would DEFINITELY be Ruby, so this is something of an offshoot of that.
Finally... I dunno, it just kind of fits Ruby, you know? Ruby pulling sick aerial maneuvers in an aircraft/spaceship/mecha, clearly having the time of her life...
...all while her teammates are holding on for dear life and/or using a barf-bag XD
