## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

A small, thin white molly, Ruby doesn't look like much at first glance. She has patches of ginger all over her body, primarily tabby stripes but a few more disorderly markings. She has a blaze of ginger on her nose, both ear tips are ginger, and she has a spike of ginger under each eye. Both front paws have ginger socks, though it stretches farther up on her left paw than her right. Her tail tip is also ginger. Darker gingery-brown markings form tabby stripes along her fur, inside her eye markings, and at the very tips of her ears and tail. One of her notable scars is a big one on her left shoulder, courtesy of Comet. He's one of the few cats who's ever managed to land a hit on her. She also has a tear in her right ear and a thin scar over her right eye, both from Hazel. Ruby's eyes are perhaps her most striking quality, a deep reddish amber that speaks to her bloody nature. Truly a cat "with bloodshed in her stare."

### Personality

When it comes to Ruby's personality, it's hard to determine whether her calculating, cold intelligence or her cruelty is the more important point. She is certainly a very smart cat, always calculating and strategic. Ruby rarely goes into anything without at least two backup plans. Her preparedness can border on paranoia at times, but given the cats she associates herself with that is probably for the best. Ruby may have built an army of mean, angry, often violent cats, but she's the worst of them. At least, she does her best to be. Ruby's anger always has a reason - she can't afford to waste time or energy on pointless emotions. When she is angry or even just frustrated, she does have a tendency to lash out claws first. Most problems in Ruby's worldview can be solved by stabbing them repeatedly, and she does solve most of her problems this way. Whether the blood lands on her claws or Comet's is entirely dependent on the day. Ruby is very confident and unshakable in most circumstances and she absolutely oozes with charisma. Anything she can't charm into going the way she wants it to can usually be intimidated into submission, usually by Comet. Ruby makes frequent use of the block of muscle she calls a half-brother. He's not the only one either. Ruby surrounds herself with cats who she can use and when someone is no longer useful, she gets rid of them.

## Background

### Kithood

* 0-2 moons - born to blink. blink is already caring for four-moon-old comet. stormbringer didn't love any of them enough to come back, so all ruby has of him growing up is stories from blink
* 3 moons - ruby hates her mom and wants to leave home. after all, she has comet. he's like seven. that's definitely old enough to take care of a baby.
* 4 moons - blink starts teaching ruby life skills like hunting and self-defense. ruby uses said skills to beat up rats and try to beat up comet. she earns the shoulder scar during one such sparring practice when blink didn't notice that comet had his claws out
* 5 moons - ruby starts beating up kittypets because beating up comet isn't fun anymore
* 8 moons - blink is killed by a colony exile one day while hunting. ruby comes across the cat leaving and attacks in a fury. the cat starts beating her, so comet comes in and finishes him off. ruby decides that instead of dealing with her emotions in a healthy way, she should gather an army and beat up colony.
* 9 moons - finds out that stormbringer, her dad, also died at the hands of colony. also, he definitely deserved it. he picked the fight. ruby decides that this isn't worth avenging and comet points out that the cat that killed blink is already dead and was an exile. colony probably doesn't care.
* 11 moons - decides that comet should have babies because she doesn't want to (ew) but she still wanted to carry on stormbringer's legacy.

### Adulthood

* 25 moons - tracks down hazel. demands info on the clans. hazel doesn't comply, so ruby blinds her right eye. hazel tells her everything she knows.
* 31 moons - she meets myrtlepelt. almost tells everyone to kill her since she has a clan name, but myrtle explains that she also hates the clans. ruby arranges the comertle marriage
* 32 moons - ???

## Other

### Trivia
