Katniss wins the Hunger Games and goes from simply trying to survive to openly defying the Capitol. Luke Skywalker blows up the Death Star and becomes a Jedi like his father before him. RWBY hasn't ended yet, but endings are often linked to heroes completing their journeys and finding something inside themselves. The mech fight should have been the "RWBY is finally team RWBY" moment, but instead it's "just" a really good fight scene rather than the conclusion of what could have been several character arcs. There should have been more team-building and tactical development before being able to pull something like that off. From day 1, our first-year students are already competent and coordinated enough to come up with plans mid-battle to take out a Nevermore and Death Stalker. For me, the best example is how the show handles teamwork. I'm not sure RWBY does rising action very well. Then I'd try to work in an angle where she gets The Call from Ozpin who sees her in the Dust store robbery. She the kind of person who's really passionate but makes too many mistakes, something like that. If I could rewrite RWBY, I'd open up at Signal, and portray Ruby Rose as someone who wants to get into Beacon but is rejected for not being skilled enough. Ruby's "one day" isn't something that changes her life forever, but something that slightly accelerates what she was always going to do. She was probably going to go to Beacon within a year or two anyway, so what we have is less "You're a wizard, Harry." and more "Gifted kid gets to skip a grade or two." Deku not having a Quirk) and Ozpin opened up an otherwise impossible door. With Ruby.what was she missing in life that Beacon was going to fulfill? It's not like she was on a life path where she was never going to get in (i.e. Katniss wants her family to stay safe, so she volunteers for The Hunger Games in place of her little sister. Neo knows there's something off about the world, and he seeks the truth behind it as Agents try to apprehend him Morpheus offering him the red pill is exactly that. What was lacking in her life that wasn't there before? Why is the call to adventure being issued now, and why is it important to answer it? Luke Skywalker yearns for adventure, so Obi-Wan wanting him to join his quest to get the Death Star plans to the rebels is exactly that. She's at the Dust store, the robbery and fight happens, then Ozpin lets her into Beacon, then she's on the way there. However, RWBY never shows us Ruby's ordinary world. Woody was Andy's favorite toy and the de-facto leader of the room before Buzz came along. Deku from My Hero Academia has an encyclopedic knowledge of superheroes and their powers. Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games is already an accomplished archer, since her "ordinary" life involves struggling through poverty and hunting for food. Now, that's not to say your protagonist has to start the story entirely unskilled or naive. Harry Potter is just some kid before he learns he's a wizard. When your setting has a fantastic place (whether that be an actual location or a status in life, like "training to be a superhero"), it's important we see what's mundane or ordinary about our protagonists' life so that it seems all the more fantastic. Until finally.the third act/climax/etc.
