==Skills==
Ruby through her personal training has acquired an assorted arrange of skills that use in most of her gorilla lives. One of which is her singing voice one she continues to trains almost every day.

Helping this is her general combat knowledge she integrates into a unique fight that mixes martial arts and her explosive gemstones into a seamless fluid yet dangerous fighting form.
==History==
Ruby was born on the planet Circuitstar and at an early age realized who she wanted to be when she first saw an AKB0048 performance on the screen of her computer, a video she quickly showed to one of her few friends, Hibiki Kirari. Using that video as inspiration she made a pact with Kirari that one day they both be members of AKB0048 and soon they would both train and study each of AKB0048 songs, members, and live concerts till they knew them by heart. Eventually, they would make friends with another girl, Hyoshi Shizuka, and she eventually joins in their promise of becoming members.
After Shizuka left Circuitstar, the friendship between Kirari and Ruby began to crumble with it. This was further increase after the fall of her planet gaining an entertainment ban from the DES. A little bit afterward, Ruby ran away from her home to become a solo idol in an attempt to one day free Circuitstar. She continued her train becoming more grueling and intense to enhance her skill set as well as purchasing multiple customs made ruby-like explosives she got on the secondary market.
Over the next few years, Ruby debut and continued to have many gorilla lives, but much to her own disappointed, fail to succeed with her retreating more often than not. Disappointed in herself, she decides to head out to join the 155th generation draft of AKB0048 feeling it could be provided her with a better chance of winning then by herself. Even if she didn't like AKB0048 for how she feels they lack her own burning sense of determination and motivation.
After joining the draft she stayed silent for the most part not wanting to join in with them as she felt she didn't need to relearn moves and songs she already been singing as apart of her own training for many years before, only doing her traditional practice with herself for the most part. Ruby didn't even know who most of the other members were just noting the fact they weren't up to her standard, despite the potential all of them having to be outstanding members in her eyes.
This all accumulated when during one of the drafty concerts where Ruby decided to sit in the audience as she felt they weren't ready to perform with herself. Though after witnessing enough of it she couldn't help but feel the group was disgracing and insult her with how she noticed them lacking the same amount of determination she had looking at them as children on the stage. Taking to the stage she called them out only to lead to confirmation as Ruby challenged their determination. Eventually leading a to them performing together for the first time with Ruby mistakenly going to the center when she shouldn't have.
