Ruby is quick to anger and frustrates easily, and is particularly prone to taking criticism personally.

Ruby has the ability to create and channel fire.

Ruby is standoffish at first, and she is someone who is hard to please, difficult to befriend, but loyal to a fault to those she treasures.

Caddisian Technovirus

Ruby is graceful and sure-footed with her movements, especially in battle. She tends to be quiet and reserved until the moment something ticks her off.

Ruby is fueled by a strong urge to prove herself.

Ruby's favored weapon is her own hands—though she doesn't use them so much for direct blows to her opponents. Rather uses her ability to create and channel flame and uses it for a myriad of applications and techniques.

Before coming to Razor's Isle, Ruby was somewhat of a free agent. She had left her home on Skyren in the hopes of finding fortune abroad in the galaxy, but fate had other things in store for her.

Red

Ruby was born and raised on the cloud-wrapped planet of Skyre, home to her race, the Skyren. When she was a young girl, she...

Soon after she left her homeworld, however, Ruby found herself in the sights of a Caddisian Proliferator named Xiphys. He captured her ship and took her hostage, pulling her into the unfolding scheme Xiphys was spearheading. Xiphys injected Ruby with an experimental serum full of nanobots, which worked like a technological virus that wrought havoc on her DNA. A potent and excruciating transformation took place within her body, and Ruby found herself enveloped in an embrace of fire.

Although certain she was doomed, Ruby quickly discovered that the flames seemed to be originating from her very body—the fire around her did not harm her. Though the heat was intense, in their shared shock and confusion she managed to fight off Xiphys and escape, barely able to comprehend what had transpired.

She was compelled to rush back to her home to warn her friends and family of the looming Caddisian threat. Upon learning what had happened to her, the other Skyren considered no other option than to shun her, unable to reconcile what they viewed as an egregious technological transgression. Heartbroken, Ruby was forced to leave once again.

Soon she too would receive an invitation to the Razor's Isle Fighting Tournament which she accepted.

In Volume 1, Ruby wears a dark blue dress with a studded belt, and a bright red ribbon around her neck tied in a large bow. She also wears a pair of black ballet-style shoes. Occasionally she dons a black cape with a jagged edge.
