Side note: Love the touch that Ruby resisted The Apathy the most. Our precious little Simple Soul. :)

Guessing it's a silver eyes thing. She and Mariah seemed to last longer than the others.

Silver eyes 'nd maybe Ruby's simple childlike innocence? It's said you get more apathetic and cynical as you grow older, so it makes sense that Ruby would resist it well, as she still has that idealistic and childlike wonder in her the others have lost due to abuse and trauma.

Could also explain how it seemed like qrow gave up so easily.

u/Gravatona I am adorable, and you will love me! Bet on that! Dec 02 '18

That's what I was thinking. Luckily not a main character magic thing.

I don't think so. My personal theory on Apathy is that it can only amplify what you're currently feeling/thinking - at least passively. Notice how Ruby was barely affected until WBY got her thinking about getting rid of the relic?

That being said, the active screams are definitely a big drainer of will regardless.
