Ruby is a fierce believer in equality and rights for everyone, and will always stand up for the under-dog. She accepts everyone for exactly what they are, but that doesn't neccissarily mean that she agrees with them or respects them - respect has to be earned. She has a strong moral compass, and will always try to do what she thinks is 'right', even if it's controvertial.
She doesn't see any reason why she shouldn't be able to do exactly what makes her happy, provided that it doesn't harm anyone else; she goes to parties, stays up into the small hours of the morning, plays video games, piles on make-up and wears whatever she likes, even though it's not very fashionable.
She's outspoken and opinionated; she doesn't buy into the 'shut up and make me a sandwhich!' thing at all.
Similarites to Their Godly Parent: Her belief in fairness, justice and equality are unshakable.
History
First Memory: Her first memory is 'helping' her mum paint her bedroom walls and then being covered, head to toe, in paint.
Relationship with Mortal Parent: Ruby and her mother get on famously! They're like friends as well as mother-and-daughter.
Ruby's mother used to tell her bed-time stories about Olympus and the Greek Gods, but as she got older she lost interest in the mhythology, writing them off a stupid fairy tales.
Her mum was a writer for a local newspaper, so Ruby was always interested in politics and what was happening in the world; she shared her mum's feminist/humanist/activist views. She was a fiercly independent little girl, which preturbed some of her teachers at school, who found her difficult. A lot of the kids at her mortal school shared their teacher's views, so she was always a little lonely.
When she was 12, her mum decided that it would be better for Ruby if she could be with people who would understand and be able to teach her how to be herself, and eventually found Olympus Academy. At the end of the school year, Ruby left her mortal school and, after the summer, enrolled at Olympus.
