**Character Art: [Default]**

## Starcluster Datapac

Ruchala was born into the Soaring Diamond house, renowned for its hunters who balance the ecosystem on Mt. Earthclad and keep giant monsters and other beasts from disrupting the balance of nature. She's been taught to strike fast and move quick, but to never kill unless necessary. It's much better for her to capture a hunted animal than kill it. She's always had a respect for Strongarm, but could never be a part of the army due to her job as a huntress.

Fate had other plans, when a hunt nearly ended with her cornered. Strongarm managed to lift the frenzied Magma Boar she was hunting, giving her time to escape, but the animal required both of their skills to snare and kill to neutralize it. Thankful for his help, Ruchala invited Strongarm to her home and treated him to her family's cooking. The two would grow to respect each other and eventually fall in love.

Her toolset includes a hunting knife, several nets, bolas, caltrops, and even a camo hood for remaining hidden. If she can lead an animal into a trap, she can minimize the need for her other tools, however she never shies away from having to use her tools to deal damage to enemies who get in the way of her hunts, striking quickly and silently. You'll never know what hit you if you're her target.

## Background

### Early life

Ruchala was raised to be a huntress for her family, helping them hunt creatures around Mt. Earthclad and provide food. She has perfected her fighting style around the use of her hunting knife and bow.

### *AnthonyM and the World of Sketch*

Ruchala is first seen when she gets caught up in a fight with a Magma Boar. Strongarm, seeing that she was in danger, steps in to help. Grateful for his stepping in, she treats him to a visit at her family's home and he obliges. Her family remarks how thankful they are that she came back with a Magma Boar and how he saved her.

Later that night, Ruchala lets the general know she had started to admire him and asks him if he would like to date her. Shocked by this revelation, he thinks about it for a bit before accepting her offer, and he becomes her boyfriend.

Later on in the game, she gets to meet the M-Crew, and ends up forming a friendship with them all.

### *AnthonyM and the Multiverse: Crossing Rifts*

She and Strongarm still kept their relationship strong and even remarks that the corrupted Strongarm she saw was not the one she knew well. When he is recruited, she will have a side mission where the two work together to find and hunt some powerful beasts. Complete this side mission and she'll join the party at the Starcluster!

## Personality

Ruchala is quite calm and collected in a fight, and refuses to retreat unless it's the only option. She can be quite introverted and has trouble staying engaged in conversation, but is still compassionate towards others, especially her boyfriend Strongarm. Anybody who is a friend of his is a friend of hers.

She is easily confused over customs from other regions, such as those in Penciltown, but she will always try to understand them... to varying results. She also has a habit of unintentionally getting on others' nerves with how out-of-touch she can be with behavioral patterns, due to her not normally being around too many other people.

## Relationships

### Strongarm

Ruchala loves her big boyfriend and will always wait for his return. She hopes their marriage will be a prosperous one and that their hunts will continue to be legendary as the days go on, and she wishes to grow old with Strongarm.

### AnthonyM

Ruchala respects AnthonyM's friendship and devotion to his own metaphorical hunts. She hopes he will live a happy life with his friends across the multiverse.

### Orrevina

Ruchala sees Orrevina as a role model and respects her as a past lieutenant. She hopes to be as talented as Orrevina one day, as she puts it.

### Techo and Blurri

Ruchala sees Techo and Blurri as a confident couple, if a little unorthodox to her. She respects their force of will and devotion to their friends, and regards that their talent as M-Crew fighters is impressive.
