Skills
Natural Skills
Ruth is a natural reader, able to read and keep up with several books at once. She also has quite the imagination, which helps her in her writing. Ruth also has a knack for surfing, and loves to do that when having a day at the beach.
Learned Skills
Ruth has been learning how to write professionally recently, since she has a secret dream of being a fantasy writer herself, one day. Though she admits she still has a long way to go before she's all that good.
Weaknesses
Ruth finds it hard to concentrate on the task at hand, at times, due to her wandering imagination. She also freaks out quite a bit around bugs, which isn't all that good, depending on the circumstances.
Mentality
Quirks
Ruth has an almost obsessive love of all things Fantasy, most especially Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. It's been a genre that she's had a great love toward since a very young age, and if anything, her love for it has grown stronger as she's gotten older.
Likes
- Just about anything Fantasy related
- Margaret
- Her older sister Judith
- Her family in general
- Her best friend Matthew Marshall
Dislikes
- Most media exclusively made for preteens and teenagers; especially god-awful novel series, like Twilight.
- Her 'rival', Alicia Wren
- Perverted boys
- Bullying
- Bugs
Fears
Ruth is afraid of bugs, most definitely. A more serious fear of hers would be something bad happening to her Dad.
Personality
Ruth is a very charming and sweet young girl. She's nice and pleasant to everyone, or just about everyone, and does her best to be a good person. She can be a bit snarky and sardonic at times, but that's only with people she is close with and feels comfortable with. Which, for the most part, is mostly with her sister Judith and her friend Matthew.
Personal Life
Significant Relationships
Ruth is, of course, quite close with her family. She loves both her parents dearly, especially her Dad, and wants to do everything she can to please them. Of her parents, she especially admires her Dad, and while she misses him while he's gone, he still is a great personal inspiration for her.
Ruth is very close with her older sister Judith, and absolutely adores her. When she was younger she did her best to emulate her sister, and while that has lessened in recent times, Ruth still cares a great deal for Judy. They have their issues now and again, and Ruth can't help but feel a little babied by her Big Sis at times, but in the end, they still love each other.
Ruth doesn't have a lot of good friends, but among them, she is especially close with her best friend, Matthew. They've been together since Kindergarten, and been nearly inseparable since then. They've been teased now and again about being closer than friends, but Ruth has done her best to ignore that. At the moment, they have a perfectly great friendship, with nothing more between them.
While she doesn't have a 'significant' relationship with Margaret Faust, per say, Ruth does admire the older girl quite a bit, and loves to be around her. Truth be told, Ruth actually has a bit of a crush on Margaret, since she seems so cool and awesome. She's quite aware of her older sister's own crush on Margaret, however, so she knows nothing will come of her own feelings. Still, she likes to be around Margaret, since she likes the girl quite a bit.
Ruth also has a 'significant' relationship, of sorts, with a girl named Alicia Wren, though not in a good way. They've been bitter enemies since 1st Grade for...one reason or another. Ruth can't quite recall the reason for their original spat, but either way, they've been at each others' throats since then.
Family
Ruth has two parents and an older sister. They are, respectively, Jeremiah Cohen, her astronaut father; Mary Cohen, her reporter mother; and Judith Cohen, her sweet older sister. She is quite close with her family, and loves them all dearly.
History
Ruth hasn't had much of a significant history, considering she's only ten, soon to be eleven. She's lived a fairly average life, all things considered. Gone to school, made friends, bonded with family, etc etc. Truly, nothing all that remarkable has happened to her...to her knowledge, at least. Unknown to Ruth herself, she died during a school shooting; but her death there was reversed with a Wish by her older sister. So there's that.
Other than that, nothing remarkable has thus far happened in Ruth Lillian Cohen's life. But, things could very well change soon, under the right circumstances...
