Ruby

**Ruby** was the former member of the Ruby Sentry Guards that serves the Yellow Diamond Court before joining the Gem Rebellion. She's usually fused with her wife Sapphire in the form of Garnet.

## **Appearance**

Due of being recently regenerated, Ruby has dark scarlet skin, burgundy irises and dark burgundy, square shaped afro hair. She is slightly taller than Steven and has a thick build. She wears a red-orange and amber tank top with a yellow star and a pair of black elbow bands. Her ensemble also includes full black pants with yellow streak on top, and short, pointed amber boots similar to Amethyst's. Her gemstone is located in the palm of her left hand and has a square face.

## **Personality**

Ruby mainly embodies Garnet's strength and courage, while Sapphire embodies Garnet's cool nature and calm under pressure. Ruby is extremely passionate and emotional. She is known to have a short temper and violent ways of exhibiting her anger.

Despite her wild emotions, Ruby is still very willing to admit when she has taken her anger too far and will admit when she is in the wrong. She seems to put the welfare of Sapphire above all else, doing everything to find her and immediately made sure that Sapphire was well. When Garnet is extremely disturbed, Ruby also appears to show the most visible reaction in comparison to Sapphire

When not angry, Ruby is a suave romantic, soft with words, and quite flirtatious towards Sapphire. When she channels her emotion on love rather than on rage, she can be affectionate and extremely caring, feeling the need to protect, and even cool down for those whom she truly loves. These moments of calm also bring out the playful tease inside her, which is for the most part trapped under her wild emotions.

## **Powers And Abilities**

While Ruby is not as strong as Garnet, she is strong enough to knock Massive Knuckles back with a single punch and can lift Sapphire over her head. She is as quick and fierce as her temper.

Ruby has both pyrokinetic touch, which she ignites anything she touches in flames, and thermokinesis, ability to manipulate temperature around her, which then combust into flames. It is shown to be related to Ruby's emotional state, as the ability manifested itself when she got furious when Animo and DNA attacked Steven and Trix.

Through sheer anger and feeling the need to release it through violence, Ruby can summon a gauntlet.

Ruby has heat resistence and lava immunity, which explains why Garnet can swim in lava.

She can breath fire and blow hot steam from her mouth.

Her density is so great, she can walk underwater.

### **Equipment**

### **Dr. Animo**

### **Nightmare**

Ruby doesn't really hate Nightmare but she didn't like how she openly attacked the Gems for whatever Black Diamond had done to her.

### **Red Diamond**
