Saying Ruby needs more importance, is incorrect. She has neven been, and will never be, important to the story. Saying Ruby's absence looks out of place, is completely different. She is a very recognizable background character.

I actually think, that Cora should have killed Ruby, last season. It would have raised the stakes, and explained why she is no longer seen. I mean like how all the characters have importance on the story, except for the background characters.
