I'm totally expecting something like "because she was with Peter it means she's straight?" comment, and no, it doesn't mean that, but I'm pretty sure her character was written as straight originally. Mulan and Merida make a lot more sense to me. And a three way relationship is too cool for OUaT xD In my opinion, I feel like there shouldn't even be a label about whether Ruby is straight or bisexual if it turns out she and Merida become a couple. That's just me, though, because I believe sexuality has a lot of fluidity, in which someone who may identify as a straight person could be attracted to someone of the same sex, but it doesn't necessarily mean the person is bisexual unless the person in question identifies as bisexual.

If I could give a hypothetical example of what I mean: Say a girl has dated guys her whole life and has had happy and fulfilling relationships with guys and has always just looked at other girls as potential friends. Then she meets another girl who she comes to fall in love with over time and realizes she loves the girl as more than just a friend. Now, in this hypothetical situation, what if the girl is in love with the other girl, but she has no romantic interest in other girls than her? Does that still make her bisexual if she's only attracted to the one girl, rather than if it were a situation where she openly was attracted to girls in general? In this hypothetical case, I think it's more about being in love with the person and having chemistry with the person despite gender. I mean, yes, if she dated a girl she was interested in, you could say she's in a gay relationship, but whether she considers herself bisexual is up to her, I think.
