Reuben Fisher

Reuben after his finished transition.

Reuben lived in the Dreamhouse with Micah Granados until his death. He lived with his parents Ciara and Anthony, and later his uncles Ryder and Jake until their deaths.

## Description

Reuben is a transgender man. He has dark skin, and his short red hair covers one of his eyes. His eyes are dark grey and he has a round-ish face. He often is wearing blue. He has completed both social and medical transition.

## Childhood

Born with the name Theresa before Clare changed it to Ruby, Reuben was adopted by Ciara and Anthony. It was revealed he had the mean trait. He participated in an after-school scouts program with his brother Hunter. Reuben and Hunter slowly became closer in his childhood and he seemed to care more about him than introducing themselves to the rest of the family after joining a couple of days prior. Reuben seemed to be getting along well with Willow, his cousin, during his childhood as Reuben invited Willow around after school one day and they were seen playing with each other. Even though Reuben teased Willow with the hand buzzer, Willow didn't seem to mind too much and they still got on well.

## Teenhood

Reuben aged up with the Chief of Mischief aspiration and the popular trait but kept the mean trait. His birthday was celebrated whilst the Fishers went to Selvadorada for a vacation. He chose to use the pronouns "they/them" because Reuben has always presented as a more androgynous or non-binary sim, and now that he was a teen he was able to present that in a more official way.

Later in his teen-hood, Reuben decided to confront his family about transitioning into being a boy. Everybody except for Hunter supported Reuben in his decision. However, it was believed that Hunter disagreed with Reuben's decision because he liked having a younger sister. Reuben began his transition by binding his chest. After doing this, it made him the second sim to get plastic surgery, after Roxy.

## Adulthood

Reuben aged up off-screen to a young adult. Throughout his first year as a young adult, he continued his transition and finally completed it. After Reuben completed his transition, he finally matured enough to realize he was wrong to tease and be mean to other sims, especially his cousins. Once Reuben completed his transformation, he decided to contact his brother Hunter so the two could mend their relationship after years of them ignoring each other. Hunter and Ruben became close again and became good friends again.

Whilst out at a club with his family, he was seen flirting with Valentine Bloome. After the events in the club, Reuben decided to ask Valentine out on a date, but even though Valentine showed interest in Reuben, he still played with Reuben's feelings. Reuben also decided to join the Model career and asked Willow to help him with pictures.

Reuben continued to take photos of himself with Valentine's help. Reuben uploaded them to Simstagram and became a Notable Newcomer. He also went out for drinks with family and friends.

Reuben invited his cousin, Violet to Geek Con to work on the rocket and the two were seen hanging out quite a lot, striking up a nice friendship. Reuben wanted to see what Violet is like as a true friend.

A year or so after these events, Rueben continued to work on his modeling and Valentine ended his romantic relationship with Rueben, saying it was never anything serious. Surprisingly, Rueben took this better than expected and understood Val's feelings.

Rueben spent the remainder of his life living in the Dreamhouse which he was said to be remodeling.

## A Little Bit Older, A Little Bit Wiser

Reuben aged up into an elder and died around the 7th episode of Discover University, along with Violet and Indigo Robins.
