Every show has at least a few characters who are touched upon only once in a series. Besides, just 'cause someone is featured in an episode in a series, doesn't all the sudden make them important to the plot. Although the opposite could be said of Jenny, since she later reappeared in the 3rd season, and was more integral to the plot in the 4th season as well.

However, for the record I'm going to assume Ruby was never a character who was important to the story's plotline. This is mostly due to fact she rarely speaks (other than shushing everyone in the library), and that she only appeared in one episode in the series' entirety, even more so near the end of it. If background characters are to become important to a shows plot, they need to be introduced early on in the show if they are to be used later. It's a tactic commonly used by tons of tv shows, reality or animated.
