Unintentionally sometimes has a habit of making others feel stupid when she suggests alternate methods of doing things that to her, are just 'better', easily upset if her routine and her own methods of doing things gets disrupted, gets extremely frustrated when people don't let her do things she's set her mind on doing, prone to long bouts of depression when things don't seem to get done "the right way" or if she gets too overwhelmed/stressed.

Hobbies: Painting/drawing, video games, roller-blading, cosplay, sewing

Orientation: Pansexual

Personality: Over-all fun loving. She loves trying new things and new foods and loves a good laugh. She's always friendly to new people when they are introduced to her, she doesn't mind helping them and showing them around. Despite her easy-going attitude, she has been known to have the occasional outburst and shut down, particularly when it comes to things not going the way she had planned.

Ruby has Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder**, so she has a very set way in her mind on how things should go and be done. Her brain computes scenarios differently than others. If she can't comprehend the why or how of something, or why people are doing something in a manner in which she thinks is "wrong", she can sometimes get upset when they don't listen to her. Even if someone calmly explains to her, she'll still pout when she's alone about how it "wasn't done right". If she's given a task, it has to be completed her way and/or, preferably, by her alone (she's learning to let others help). This has made it difficult for her to partner up with anyone during school assignments, and as such, she's usually left on her own. Others find her hard to work with as she insists on how things specifically need to be done and questions other methods. She is a perfectionist with a great attention to detail. She is trying really hard to work on this and allow others to do things the way they want. 

She doesn't have many real friends. Most of the students at her school think she's "a weirdo" and don't bother talking to her. Which is just fine with her because she doesn't understand "the cool kids" anyway and mostly prefers to be by herself. Despite this, she's a very optimistic and happy girl. She loves getting to go out and do things, especially if it involves being creative and/or active with like-minded people who don't think she's odd. She can get fairly excitable and talkative when you get her on the right subject, otherwise she tends to be quieter and more observant than anything else, just taking everything in and processing in her little brain.

Romance and sexual relationships are the last things on her mind, as she doesn't fully comprehend them in regard to herself. She herself, doesn't have those kinds of feelings, and she tends to be fairly clueless when it comes to any sort of affections directed at her beyond friendship and family. She doesn't see herself as "relationship material" and finds compliments strange. It's the quickest way to turn her shy and awkward as she has no idea how to respond to them besides a mumbled "thank you" before she's looking for a way to escape or change the subject. However, while she may not understand or have those feelings personally, she LOVES romance movies and especially romantic comedies.

History:
Ruby's home and civilian life is pretty standard. Growing up in a large family, there was never any shortage of people around or things to help out with. Everyone chipped in for cooking, cleaning, laundry, helping with schoolwork, or taking care of the children and pets. It was expected, that if you lived under that roof, you had at least one job that was yours to take care of every day. For Rosalina, it was laundry and sweeping. She actually loves to wash and fold laundry. She's a strange kid. She finds it oddly therapeutic. She's also always helping out with the cooking and baking.

She is the middle child of 6, with two older brothers (24 & 21), two younger sisters (10 & 8), whom she shares a room with, and one younger brother (4). As the eldest daughter, from the time she was 7 years old, she helped take care of and raise her younger siblings while her older brothers each were working by the time they were 14 to help with the income of the large family. In addition to her immediate family (siblings and parents), both sets of her grandparents live with them as well as her mother's widowed sister and her 3 children (ages 14, 11 and 9). Suffice to say, that house is rather...boisterous and loud, but always a lot of fun. However, because of the need to help take care of her family shortly after her brothers got jobs (as they were now working and not at home as often as they used to be), she actually had to retake an entire year of school because she missed so much. She doesn't mind though; she didn't like the kids in that particular grade anyway. But it's just one more reason she prefers to keep to herself while at school.

Growing up, there was nothing really exciting or special that happened, it was just day in and day out the same sort of thing over and over for her. Help around the house, go to school, study, help around the house more, play her video games, spend time with Sierra, rinse repeat, until Sierra moved to the States and Ruby was essentially left friendless. No-one else at school seemed to want to get to know her, so she spends any other spare time she had on Skype or messenger or online gaming. Now that she can travel to the Crystal Caverns, she has made many other new friends. Life, while tiring, seems to have gotten much better for her and a lot less lonely.

She does have some doubts as to whether or not she can live up to the expectations of the Trinity and being a magical girl hero. Reading about them is one thing, being one.... entirely different.

Confirmed Current Relations (message me if you'd like to work something out with your character and Ruby!)
Sierra ( hiddengardenia ); Sistah from another Mistah. Childhood bffs
Frankie (Unisamas-Art ); the older sister Ruby wasn't entirely sure she wanted but loves all the same.
Lu ( nickyflamingo ); the older sister Ruby definitely wanted and looks up to
Kachina ( LeyRose ); another instant connection that resulted in them quickly becoming good friends. Ruby is currently unaware of poor Kachina's affections towards her.
Tae ( AlexLyre ); Ruby was instantly intrigued by the other girl, and once they finally met, they became instant friends.
Will add more as I find the time, and as I remember them! I'm know I'm forgetting some! Please comment below if we've discussed relations or if you'd like to expand/develop what is already here! <3

About the Senshi
Senshi Name: Sailor Ruby Salamander

Realms of Influence: Toxins and Fire

Animal: Fire Salamander

Henshin Item: Ruby hair clip; when transformed this becomes her belt gem.

Henshin Phrase: "Crimson Fires of Passion! Make-Up!"

Powers:
Attack 1:
Conflagration Inferno!
A single flare bursts at Ruby's feet and rushes out like a rolling wave, engulfing anyone in the area it's directed at (up to 10 feet away from her and in a single direction only). As the wave moves outward, it grows larger (up to 8 feet tall) before cresting and rolling back in on itself and completely dissipating by the time it reaches Ruby again. Used with her Miasma attack, it sets everything within on fire until the mist is depleted and causes multitudes of tiny explosions within for extra damage.

Attack 2:
Noxious Miasma!
A deep green mist rises around Ruby, reaching up to 15 feet in radius around her, and levels off at about waist height, temporarily paralyzing all caught within the haze. This mist and its effects last only for 30 seconds each. Affects both hostile and friendly targets. Also, highly flammable and ofttimes used in tandem with her other attack.

Power Weaknesses
Both her powers can be affected by wind-based powers, either to help or to hinder, and both of her attacks unfortunately don't discern between friend or foe. Additionally, she is weak against water and ice types in general. Water attacks can be used to negate her powers, as well as, if she gets soaked, she cannot create the spark needed for her Conflagration Inferno at all, while her Noxious Miasma is reduced to nothing more than a thick green, oozing fog that rolls along at about knee height at best. Ice, well...lizards don't do well in cold at all. XD

**Please note: This is no way intended to embarrass or insult anyone, I simply wanted to bring this into a good light. Very rarely is OCPD spoken about, often misdiagnosed for OCD but it is a very real thing and something that I, myself, deal with. Ruby is intended as a means of communication and personal exploration for this and a way to let people know it's okay and that there are others out there who can relate.
