Ruth Weaver

Ruth Weaver is a supporting protagonist in The Mandela Catalogue, a Sergeant for the MCPD introduced in The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 333. She serves as the supporting protagonist in Act 1 and the posthumous minor character in Act 2.
==Description==
Ruth is a tan-skinned woman with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
== Biography ==
=== The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 333 ===
Ruth is heard talking to Thatcher Davis about the case of Mark Heathcliff's death. She tells Thatcher that he doesn't need to further continue this case, which Thatcher refuses and says that he has found evidence and would like to see it. Ruth doesn't believe Thatcher and says that she would believe the evidence when she sees it.
Ruth would get a call from Thatcher about the alternate Jude Murray had encountered, to which she says she's heading to the place right now. Later she would warn Thatcher about the officer that fled from the Murray household. 
Ruth and Thatcher later arrive at the Murray household for investigation, Thatcher calls Ruth to stay behind him and watch the hallway. Unfortunately the Alternate that Thatcher encounters silently kills Ruth behind him. 
Later when Thatcher is cornered by the Alternate, Ruth's name is on a list of people that The Alternate mimics, the other 2 being Cesar Torres & Mark Heathcliff, though Ruth is the only one to have more than just a facial representation. Ruth's face is seen on the bodycam near the final moments of the episode while a tune continues to play and a rushing noise is heard as the Ruth face smiles and distorts. 
=== every day gets brighter ===
Ruth is briefly mentioned by Thatcher, though not by name.
=== The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 4 ===
The MCPD "IN REMEMBERANCE" lobby mural with Ruth on it is seen while Thatcher calls Ruth his guardian angel and how in "an act of self preservation" lead to her murder. Thatcher swears to make Ruth proud but states "the darkness" followed him home, possibly all of that in a letter. Later on, Thatcher changes clothes and goes to his room to go to sleep but as he tucks himself in, he sees an Alternate in his closet, watching him. Thatcher sits there in confusion possibly not able to fully tell if he's just seeing things (similar to how folded clothes on a chair can look scary when the room is dark) or if there's actually something there. Thatcher later writes a postmortem letter to Ruth in an act of grievance while watching the news video of him and Ruth getting promoted talking about their friendship involving listening to new music and watching new movies together that they can no longer do as Ruth was murdered.
=== The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 5 ===
Ruth possibly appears briefly as a interpretation sketch by Agent J Booker. "Ruth" was apparently not a violent Alternate, just observant.
== Speculation ==
* It's possible the Alternate Ruth seen staring into the camera in 333 and in Thatcher's closet could be The Murray Household Alternate just in the form of Ruth instead of its pale skinny body or in its Thatcher form.
== Trivia ==
* Ruth Weaver is likely named after the biblical figure of Ruth, who is an ancestor of King David. It's likely that this is symbolical to Thatcher Davis keeping Ruth's legacy alive through memorials and inheriting her position as employee of the month in the MCPD.
* Ruth's portrait is not a picture of a person but an AI generated image, using a realistic art style. (Stated in Discord)
* Ruth was supposed to appear in Vol. 5, however, this plan was somewhat changed, and she (along with Mark, Cesar/His alternate and etc.) did not appear in this episode, due to the changed plans during the production of Vol. 5, and due the drama that had previously taken place in involving Kister
