Reference Sheet (Unavailable)
Unfortunately, a reference sheet for Ruby is unavailable at this time.
Ruby (ROO-bee) is the only other known instance of a "living cartoon character" on the planet of Tela besides Puri, exhibiting nearly identical physical and magical properties to her counterpart. She appeared very suddenly one day after years of Puri being convinced she was the only one of her kind, and is unable to explain why the two had never met prior. While Puri tends to embody more of the "shonen" side of things, Ruby leans closer to what one might expect from a typical magical girl in her design and attitude.
Abilities
Ruby is highly excitable and upbeat, but can be just as serious when the moment calls for it. This is, of course, assuming her magic doesn't backfire — Ruby is much less skilled with her powers compared to Puri, and she has a near-constant stream of distracting thoughts racing through her mind that often interferes with her spellcasting and general train of thought. This can cause her to blurt out inappropriate things or make magical mistakes with embarrassing results. She is, however, blessed with unaturally heightened senses — Particularly being able to hear things at ranges and volumes that others (even Puri) cannot, and the ability to see beyond the edges of the visible spectrum. Her offensive power is typically life-themed, feeling a deep closeness with the planet and exhibiting control over its flora and elements like the water or land. She is extremely strong as well, unable to match Puri's speed but outdoing her when it comes to raw force. Like Puri, she also has general-purpose magic like telekinesis and flight, her wings being similarly not visible to the naked eye but red, more rounded, and terminating at her back with a swirl shape.
When things are looking grim, Ruby concentrates to take on her Radiant form. Like Puri's transformation, this increases her power while tiring her out faster and gives her a similar pair of magic-channeling bracelets, plus the extra benefit that her mind is almost completely clear of any interfering thoughts. If she needs to maximize her strength, her wand becomes the handle of Virtue, a shimmering rainbow hammer of incredible size and weight.
Employment
Ruby works alongside Puri with the Trinity Division to keep the city safe from monsters and criminals, similarly holding the rank of Commander but rarely exercising the power that comes with the title. Despite Trinity's knowledge of her frequent mishaps, she is still highly regarded, as the possibility of her success far outweighs the risk of any trouble she might get herself into. (You, the viewer, may see her fail most of the time, but this is only because for the most part her successes are far less interesting.) Fortunately, her blunders almost never endanger anyone other than herself. Any excessively embarrassing situations she ends up in are seemingly forgotten by the general public just as quickly as they occur.Like Puri, her origins are unknown.
