Star Ruby (Norman)

## Appearance

### Debut

Star Ruby has crimson skin and dark red hair. Her clothing is comprised of steel plates on her neck, shoulders, biceps, and both sides of her thighs. The plates on her waist are made of a softer metal such as aluminum for a less uncomfortable protection. Her undersuit is multicolored red fabric, which has a tilted yellow star on her chest and a yellow outer layer around her hips and crotch. Her brick red gloves have spurs on the back of her forearms and her boots of the same color have the same colored and shaped spurs on her calves. Her left glove has dark red stains on the fingers, likely because of her clumsy tendencies. She has yellow soles that are textured for traction. Her gem is on her neck, between her clavicle and sternocleidomastoid muscle. It has a white cross-shaped star in the center. Her eyes are the same color, with the same star functioning as her pupils. Her hair is a dark red long bob just below her nape with side-swept bangs going in opposite directions on her head.

### Pre-Corrupt

### Post-Corrupt

Star Ruby wears dark red shoes, a double-colored red sweatshirt, bright orange pants, and a shirt of the same color. Her hair is now very short and curly (and very very dark red).

## Personality

### Pre-Corrupt

Star Ruby's personality is similar to a ruby, though she has not a short temper such as one. Her Quartz build and ability to tolerate much more than a normal Ruby is what sets her aside. She's not as polished and quick-witted as a Quartz, and she's very messy with her duties. She believes strongly in "what's the worst that could happen?" She is harshly corrected later on in her life, when her partner is killed during the war because of her clumsy personality. She is hardened after this. She takes much better care of what she does, but she is still a bit short on intelligence. She doesn't know how to say no to anyone, but is happy to help everyone.

### Post-Corrupt

Star Ruby lacks enthusiasm. Her personality has gone from delightfully giddy to short-tempered and cold. She displays mild paranoia- not welcoming new Crystal Gems like she used to and instead forcing them out of the temple. She is no longer spontaneous, and hardly does anything without thinking; though her thinking is over-exaggerating issues. She's developed a selfish nature, starting to think about herself before anyone.

## Relationships

### **Imperial Topaz**

**Star Ruby** met **Imperial Topaz** when he was taking the form of an old man in Beach City. She had finally made her way to the top of the thousands of pounds of sand lain on top of her from centuries of having been in her gem on the battlefield years ago during the war, and she discovered that he too was a rebel and befriended him shortly after. She and he now take up the new positions as the Crystal Gems after the originals disappeared. Weeks later, **Imperial Topaz** confessed his attraction to her and she responded with "ditto."

### Green Tourmaline

**Star Ruby** and **Green Tourmaline** were married while **Star Ruby** was with **Homeworld**. When **Green Tourmaline** was shattered during the **Gem War**, **Star Ruby** drifted from **Homeworld** and joined the rebellion.

### Blue Topaz

**Star Ruby** is indifferent towards **Blue Topaz**.
