Yeah, I'd put her somewhere between the two. That, and I'm hoping her family connections continue to play a strong role, I really liked her adoptive mother/grandmother and their shared dynamic. Given the potential for myth/fantasy themes, I'm wondering if we'll see some triune goddess stuff come up. They have a solid cast for the maiden/mother/crone thing.She lacks Clara's smugness.

Clara + Rose. Not sure how I feel about the actress, whom I have no prior experience with.Is it just me, or does Ruby read like "Blond Clara" to anyone else?
Hard disagree. Hopefully she'll dial it back. Jenna Coleman did pretty quickly.She lacks Clara's smugness.
Yeah I got more a Rose vibe, but that might just be the blondeness.She lacks Clara's smugness. She feels more like Rose 2.0 to me.
Well so far Ruby hasn't threatened to slap Ncuti into his next regeneration, so...Hard disagree. Hopefully she'll dial it back. Jenna Coleman did pretty quickly.
Some of the Doctor's incarnations have definitely merited a slap or two.Well so far Ruby hasn't threatened to slap Ncuti into his next regeneration, so...
No arguments from me there! I recently re-watched "Robot" and I realized the Brigadier needs to be canonized as a saint for not throttling the Doctor years ago!Some of the Doctor's incarnations have definitely merited a slap or two.
The Danny Pink saga makes me forgive Clara's rough start. That story arc, to me, is the peak of nuWho's continuing discussion of how being a companion actually screws them up in all sorts of ways.Now I really liked Jenna Coleman's performance, but sometimes I wanted to make Clara go stand in the corner for being insufferable.
I'm not an expert on Classic Doctor Who, but I've gotten the impression that most of the companions back then just left and/or were abandoned by the Doctor – we've seen at least four of them show up in post-reboot Who, after all, and they all seemed relatively fine other than an overdeveloped sense of adventure. Compare that to the fates of nuWho Companions:The Danny Pink saga makes me forgive Clara's rough start.
