Future Godhuntress!Ruby saves baby Ruby from Ascended Cinder, who just KNOWS this teenage girl is going to be trouble and is already beefing with her.
Ascended Cinder can tell Ruby isn't as dedicated to Elder Salem as her sister and attempts to "dispose" of the problem by killing Ruby in the middle of the night.
Only for the reincarnated and powered up Godhuntress Ruby to kill Cinder right then and there by severing the cybernetic grimm arm.
Ruby, who doesn't have a signature red cloak just yet, does not recognize this hooded figure that just saved her life, lit from behind by the moon and face hidden. Reincarnated Godhuntress Ruby flees to avoid interacting with her past self.
This paradox of Ruby saving her own life only exists because the Watcher made it so by messing with the timeline, having faith that Ruby will be the one to stop Salem and fix the mistake thr Watcher had made so long ago.
