Ruby (AWL)

is a character in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Another Wonderful Life, and A Wonderful Life Special Edition. 
She runs the Inner Inn with her husband, Tim. She also has a son, Rock. She worries for her son's lack of direction in life, poor work ethic and lazy attitude. Ruby is the Inn's cook and is well known in the valley to be an excellent chef.
Ruby and Tim traveled frequently in their younger days, but decided to settle down for a quiet life in Forget-Me-Not Valley. Nami stays at their Inn, and Ruby thinks of her as a member of the family. When Van visits town, he also visits the Inn. 
Befriending Ruby will give you access to the elusive Ruby Spice, which can be used in cooking recipes.
==Gifts==
Note: Ruby, like Van, must be spoken to twice while holding a desired object in order for her to accept it.

===Ruby's Spice===
Ruby's Spice is an ingredient that can be used in Curry, Hot Curry, & Mushroom Curry.
After befriending Ruby, enter her kitchen when she's there. She will ask if you are hungry and if you've been cooking at home. If you say "yes", she will give you the spice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chNa2H3OnGU
You only get one per game. It will never run out when you use it, but can be stolen by Murrey or sold, and once it's gone, it's gone forever.
However, in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life there is a known glitch to clone it and can be taken advantage of to earn cash by selling the extra ones to Van, but make sure you keep at least one of them. If you cook the Ruby Spice by itself (ex. Salad > Ruby Spice > Select > A) then press the B button, you should have two of them. You can keep doing this as many times as you like. This glitch is not in Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life or Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition.
----Tim and Ruby's Relationship
In Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition, enter the Inn during Chapter 6 while Tim and Ruby are alone in the lobby (morning or evening), and a scene will play out where Tim and Ruby discuss their anxieties about their relationship.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_pBlOBLEDI
