Ruby

Black eyes and black hair define Ruby's look, the hair gathered into a single high ponytail that trails down her back. Her frame is lean but well-muscled, and she stands tall enough to pass for someone a bit older than the Elric brothers, though she barely edges out Edward in height. Military surplus makes up most of her wardrobe.

Ruby shares Edward's blunt, mulish streak. Her show of confidence hid how thoroughly Raygen had come to fill her world during the years she served him; she swallowed his every word and even disowned her favorite color, the shade of the blossoms from her old home, simply because he leaned toward louder tones. He taught her that the path ahead demanded a clean break from a past she tied to weakness.

Once the brothers exposed Raygen, showing the town he had lied to everyone for personal profit while running a hidden trafficking operation, the revelation crushed her. Even so, she chose to forge a path of her own and struck down the very idol she had worshipped, coming to see at last that raw strength counts for nothing by itself.

Self-taught in hand-to-hand combat, Ruby drills every single day, driven by how much she detests losing. The style is entirely her own invention, and it works well enough that she can square off against a handful of grown men at once and win.
