**“What can I say? I’m a complicated person.” Ruby - Emily**

Name: Ruby is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "deep red precious stone.” In the year she was born (1989) Ruby ranked #330 in popularity.

Duggie couldn’t decide on what to name his daughter. He considered his mother’s name Sophia and his late sister’s name Zora and though he liked Sophia he chose it only as her middle name. Zora on the other hand didn’t feel right at all. Duggie had also considered the name Sky because of Ruby’s blue eyes but ultimately decided on Ruby because of her bold-red hair. Ruby was born with her father’s surname “Fletcher” but changed her name when she got married making her Ruby Sophia Masters. She also went by “Ruby Webber” while at the academy undercover to protect her true identity.

Magic life: In the first book, Ruby was revealed to be a Full-Witch,, but in the second book she was first introduced as a Powerless-Witch attending the Academy for her guardian training in September of 2016. However, Emily discovered this was a lie after catching Ruby using magic. Ruby then confessed to being a Full-Witch and nobody would believe Emiy except for Shawn and Gracie. Ruby was eventually discovered by the headmaster. For her entire life, Ruby believed she was an ordinary Full-Witch, and there were small hints that she wasn’t what she appeared to be. Jessie revealed to Emily that Ruby’s magic presence was too strong for a Powerless-Witch, she compared it to her mother’s presence during full-moons as this was when Emma was at her strongest. Emma was supposed to be the most powerful witch in the world, so it didn’t make sense that Ruby’s presence was stronger than Emma’s. Then when Duggie found out Ruby had willingly given her magic to the council in exchange for Emily getting hers back, he was furious. He told her, “you better hope they don’t find out what you are.” This obviously confused Ruby and when she asked what he meant, Duggie erased her memory of the entire conversation.

Career: Ruby was adopted into an illegal family business. Her parents rescued captured zombies from the council and sent them to a place where they and their creators could live in peace. Throughout her childhood, Ruby was trained up so she could join the family business when old enough. Ruby didn’t have a choice in the matter. In September 2016, Ruby went on her first and only job. She was to help Andi Cruz find and reunite with her lost zombie. Once this was accomplished, Duggie took a stand against his wife and released Ruby from being forced to join the family business. Ruby was forever grateful and removed herself from the family business though did occasionally help out, but she was never again forced to. Once the old council was beaten in battle and therefore required to step down from their roles on the council, a new council needed to be created. Emma, being the chosen-one and being the leader of the team that beat the council, had the power to choose the new council members. She offered Ruby the spot of the second council member. Ruby was unsure if this is what she wanted but decided she did want this because she wanted to change the world.

Past: Due to her photographic memory, Ruby can remember being held by her birth mother shortly after her birth and being confused about why her mother was crying. She can also remember being carried away by her adoptive father while hearing her birth mom sobbing in the background.

Ruby grew up receiving very little affection and attention from her parents. She wasn’t allowed to show her emotions and what she wanted didn’t matter. Her main needs were met though. She was kept clean, fed, and clothed. The only time she got presents and her parents’ undivided attention was on Christmas day and on her birthday.

Ruby grew up not knowing she was a superior as her womb memories had been magically erased from her mind.. She believed she was just an ordinary Full-Witch and her parents rarely let her use her magic.

When Ruby was thirteen, she asked for a piano for her birthday. Her mother knew how to play and took the time to teach her. This was the only time in her life where she felt loved by her mother. It all changed when Ruby turned sixteen. Her parents decided she was no longer a child and it was time to train her in the family business. Ruby was taught how to lie, fake her own identity, and more. All this training came with stress and Ruby started believing her parents had only adopted her to be in the business when old enough. This all led to Ruby sneaking down to the mortal realm in search of her birth mother. She went to the school her mother worked at but chickened out and as she was about to leave, she was called over by a girl who turned out to be her half-sister. While talking with Gigi, Ruby learned they were very close in age and she had a brother as well. Next time, Ruby came into town, she went looking for her brother but ran into Gigi instead. She asked Gigi not to tell anyone she was in town. She later tracked down her brother at a baby store in the local mall and found out his girlfriend was pregnant with his baby. At this time, Ruby didn’t know her sister was also pregnant but did later find out. Ruby also snuck into the maternity ward during the night wanting to meet her niece and nephew.

In the fifth book, towards the end, Duggie, Kristine, and Ava sat Ruby down and told her the truth. Ruby was a Superior, an extremely rare witch. Superiors were the true most powerful witches in the world but they weren’t known to many as Desmdemona kept it hidden. Since the first Superior was dead and Ruby was the second one to ever exist, she was technically the most powerful witch in the world, sharing that title with little baby Kira Archer, the third Superior to exist. Ruby was furious she hadn’t known about this all along, and this was the first time she was ever mad at her birth mother.

for the better.

Love story: Ruby's first boyfriend was Cameron Masters, and he gave her all of her romantic and sexual firsts. He fathered all six of her children and they got married. They faced many challenges but they always managed to make it right in the end. They stayed together and were happy.

However, it didn't start off great. Cameron had a major crush on Ruby and she used this to manipulate him into doing things she didn't want to do herself, such as her homework or training Ethan and Emily. She even got him expelled from the Academy by manipulating him into confessing to a crime he didn't commit.  When Cameron returned to the Academy, Ruby started developing real feelings for him. She tried to ignore these feelings at first but eventually confessed to him. Cameron forgave her for how she had previously treated him and asked her out on a date. Ruby accepted and this time meant it. They started dating but Cameron soon started wondering if Ruby was really interested in him because she never kissed him or held his hand or even hugged him. Ruby was worried and decided to sleep with him mistaking Emily's advice about showing him affection. This resulted in Ruby getting pregnant. When she told Cameron about the pregnancy, he was supportive and stayed by her side.

There were more complications that almost ended their relationship. The biggest one being when Cameron spelled Emily and Ethan to have sex then erased their memories of it. However, Ruby came to forgive him when it was revealed Cameron had been spelled himself by the council. Cameron also later made amends with Ethan and Emily.

Family

Ruby was adopted into the Fletcher family. Ruby's relationship with her father Duggie had always been slightly better than her relationship with her mother. Duggie cared about Ruby but was too afraid to stand up to his wife, so he allowed Kristine to treat Ruby horribly. Kristine never really cared about her daughter and didn't spend much time with her. She was often mean and harsh with Ruby and pressured her too much. To her, Ruby was more of a co-worker than a daughter.  Later in Ruby's life, she was able to patch up her relationship with her father. He finally took a stand and ended up divorcing Kristine. Ruby decided she wanted him in her life because he was the only father she had. Things about Ruby that Duggie loved started being mentioned too. However, Ruby and her mother never made amends. At one point, Ruby attempted to work on her relationship with Kirstine but it didn't work out because Kristine just didn't care about Ruby. She eventually decided to have no contact with her mother.

When it came to Ruby's birth mother, it was a completely different story. Ruby was excited though anxious to meet her birth mother and was hurt that it took Ava so long to decide to meet her. However, once they had met, they instantly connected. Ruby felt comfortable around her and was easily able to open up to her. Eventually, Ruby even started calling her "mom." Ruby never had a relationship with her birth father and learned he had passed away years ago.

Ruby quickly bonded with her sister Gigi but didn't seem to be connecting with her brother. It turned out this was Diego's fault. Diego revealed to Gigi that he was worried about bonding with Ruby in case he ended up being more fond of her than Gigi. Even after this, Diego and Ruby never really bonded but were on good terms. Ruby and Gigi became close and would sometimes meet up.

It is no secret that Ruby was always closest to Emily. At first, Emily hated Ruby because Ruby was distant and a little mean and Ruby didn't care about Emily's education or magic training even though it was her job to help Emily with this. When Emily found out Ruby was possibly her aunt, she was not happy about it. Yet, she got it confirmed and told Ruby the news herself. After this, the two agreed to work on their relationship and they did. Before long, they were becoming close. They ended up being great friends.

Ruby was unhappy and scared when she found out she was pregnant with her twin daughters. Ruby often struggled at motherhood. All six of her children were spoiled and undisciplined. Her oldest daughters were a complete handful. However, Ruby did love her children very much even when they were getting under her skin. Ruby wasn't very fond of children to begin with.

Other relationships. Ruby and her uncle Agaemonon were on decent terms but never grew close. Though they occasionally spoke. Aggie and Ruby had known each other for around a year and a half before Aggie even knew Ruby was his niece because Ruby had been under strict orders to keep it secret. After Ruby was forced to tell him under special circumstances, she was unsure how to treat him now that he knew. Aggie told her to treat him like she normally did.

Ruby had a complicated relationship with Andi and Ethan. Ruby was Ethan's guardian at the Academy but didn't care much about his education during his first year. At first, Ethan chose to give Ruby a chance despite Emily already making up her mind that Ruby was mean. However, he eventually gave up on having a good relationship with her. In their second year, Ruby started caring more about Ethan and felt sympathy for his situation. She tried harder at being a good guardian which the kids took notice of. The two never became close but were on good terms. When Ethan had to go into hiding, Ruby told him "There's a chance I might miss you." The two then shared their only hug. Ruby and Andi weren't very fond of each other either at first. Andi was upset by the way Ruby treated Emily and Ethan, and she found Ruby to be rude and mean and, for a time, very suspicious. Even when Andi found out Ruby was helping her with Luke, the two didn't improve their relationship. It wasn't until after they left the Academy that their relationship took a turn for the better. Ruby and Andi fell pregnant with their daughters at the same time, and raising girls started bonding them together. They would often set up playdates for the girls during which they would talk. It took awhile but they ended up becoming good friends.

Ruby and Shawn never grew close but were friendly. It appeared as though neither of them were interested in having a relationship. Apparently, Ruby disliked Cameron's parents. When getting Jax to babysit, Ruby mentioned to him that she hated her own parents but hated Cameron's even more. The reason for this dislike is unknown, especially since there was never a mention of them speaking or even meeting. Ruby also didn't seem to be very close with any of her grandchildren.
