YMMV / RWBY: Dark

• Complete Monster: Ruby Rose is reimagined as "the Reaper", a psychopathic Serial Killer with ambitions of godhood. Introduced killing her own parents, Ruby then cuts off her half-sister Yang Xiao Long's arms and eyes out of pure sadism. Enslaving her, Ruby humiliates and abuses her on a daily basis for kicks or for minor or imagined offenses and forces her to kill innocents. Breaking into houses, Ruby slaughters the families inside, children and babies included. One case involves her breaking into a barn, killing an old lady, then "violating" a boy to the point he begged for death. Blocking the escape route during Vale's bombing, Ruby tried to kill the survivors who wanted to flee, taking Cinder Fall's eye. Holding a grudge against Neopolitan for having smacked her in the face, Ruby kills her by cutting her in half.
• Nightmare Fuel: Unsurprisingly for a Dark Fic, this is expected. The highlights include:
  • Almost everything Ruby does, from killing her parents and enslaving Yang to being a serial killer with no regard for whoever she kills, children included.
    • What she done to Yang to do doesn't help, either. she made her blind and cut off her her arms and forced her to kill. Yang's mental journal in 365.5 doesn't help either, showing that she has been brainwashed.
• Tear Jerker: Cinder's reaction to Neo's death.
• The Woobie: Yang loses her parents to her half sister Ruby, who blinds her, has her arms removed, and keeps her as a slave who can't even perform bodily functions without Ruby's permission.
