Ruby

**Ruby** (full name Ruby Diamond) is a coach by Tomodachidudeball.

## Backstory

Ruby was born in the desert into a poor family. She had one sister, named Opal. However, the two had to be abandoned because their family couldn't afford to raise them. The two wandered the desert, barely surviving. Additonally, a god with a yellow disco ball head gave them two masks, and told them to NEVER let the masks shatter, saying that bad things would happen if they did. The two put them on, and promised not to. However, a man named Bahadur attacked the two and kidnapped Ruby, however, Opal managed to get away. For the next few years, Ruby was a slave to him, being forced to do chores for him, some of which were outright dangerous. She would be whipped if she messed up in the slightest, with her clothes even being torn sometimes and needing replacement, her mask also came close to breaking several times. Additionally, she also had her body changed sometimes, with her gender being changed against her will sometimes. She also was fed 2-3 meals a day, usually getting poisoned by the food. Ruby spent the little free time she had hoping for freedom. Eventually, Atemu found Ruby and rescued her, freeing her and returning her to normal, and reuniting her with her sister Opal. Ruby then briefly dated Atemu, although they broke up shortly after due to the two not being interested with each other, Atemu soon went on to date Opal instead. The three then lived with Pathrea for a while.

## Current History

Ruby began dating Shu on May 6th, 2020. The two later began to live with Abu. She, along with Zadhya, Sydney, and others got Bahadur arrested by the police and executed. In august, a dark aura began to emit from Ruby, and her mask was causing her pain. The same also happened to her sister Opal, the two were taken to the hospital, with Franklin, Professor Booker and Professor Miller trying to figure out what was going on. Their masks then shattered and released Deymon the Demon, who Discoain had sealed away years ago. This traumatic happening finally made Ruby's trauma catch up to her and caused her to become depressed. Discoain also later gave her and her sister replicas of the masks they used to wear.

## Personality

Ruby is a cheerful person, who enjoys having fun. She’s also very respectful, and greets royalty with a curtsy. However, after the Demon Within Ruby and Opal plotline, she became very depressed, with Shus normal methods of making her happy, not working.
