Ruby (Leggy)

**Ruby**, nicknamed **"Leggy"** by Zaza and Alice, is a Homeworld Gem who made her debut in "Hit The Diamond". She is the youngest Ruby in her squad known as the Squaridot Squad. She, the other Ruby troops and her two peridot captains were sent to Earth by Emerald to locate Peridot and Jasper. She was last seen floating in space after Alice opened the airlock on the Moon Base.

## Personality

She seems to be the most disoriented and confused, never knowing quite what to do. She is also the most fearful, frequently hiding behind other things. She often forgets what she is doing and even briefly forgot her mission and why she came to Earth in the first place.

She seems especially fearful of angering her captains, mainly eyeball as it displays aggression towards the other rubies as they goof around.

## Physical appearance

Her outfit is a maroon top with the Red and Yellow Diamond’s insignia, with brown shorts and maroon boots with her gemstone on her right thigh. Her complexion is the darkest of the Ruby troop, being more of a deep cherry color. Her hair is tightened into a bun and she wears dark brown socks.

## History

Leggy was made a day before “Hit the Diamond” making her the youngest gem in the Squaridot squad, or just in the series in general.

"Leggy" arrives on Earth in the Roaming Eye with other rubies and her two peridot captains, one of them being an elite gem. Their goal was retrieving Jasper and Peridot for Emerald.

#### Hit the Diamond

"Leggy" is unsure if she should leave the Roaming Eye like her other colleges, but "Doc" pushes her out anyway. When the Quester Ruby disguises herself and asks what the Rubies are doing, "Leggy" jumps in and naively asks what the mission is. "Leggy" participates in the baseball game and is surprised by Amber's abilities, claiming *"The Orange human is really good!"*. Once Garnet forms and the others discover they have been tricked, "Leggy" appears completely clueless to what is going on around her. When eyeball orders the Rubies to form a trio Ruby fusion, "Leggy" struggles to hold up her two crewmates. "Leggy" points out that they just got to the Earth when they are leaving. After the head of the squad, Squaridot, is poofed, eyeball snatches the rubies (and Squaridot’s gem) and retreats to Neptune.

#### Back to the moon

Lapis Lazuli encases "Leggy" and the other Rubies in water bubbles when they return to Earth after not finding what they need. Upon seeing blockidot with the quester and without her limb enhancers, they come to the conclusion that she has betrayed them.

#### Secret sisters

"Leggy" is the first Ruby released from Lapis's bubble. Upon being questioned what they are doing back on Earth, "Leggy" says that she does not know. She then nervously gets out of the Quester’s way. "Leggy" is confused as to why Amber (who is shapeshifted as Jasper) has decided to stay on Earth, but is proud of her speech. The Rubies then decide to write their report on the nearest Diamond Base, and "Leggy" is one of the Rubies who wonders where it is.

On the Moon Base, they meet up with the rank 1 elite, Emerald. "Leggy" asks who Pink and Green Diamond are when looking at their murals, to which she is heavily scrutinized by “Doc” for mentioning the fallen. She later fuses with the other Rubies to stop the Questers after they trick them again. After Squaridot betrays and defeats Emerald while fused as Flourite, Alice opens the Moon Base's airlock and Sardonyx hits the Ruby fusion hard enough to unfuse her, "Leggy", and the other two Rubies are sucked out into space.

#### Bubbled

“Leggy" is seen floating away from her crewmates, Eyeball was poofed from impact but later reforms with MilkyQuartz.
