{ History }

Ruby was raised in a conservative family that held their wealth close to them. She was born the third child out of four, with two sisters ahead of her and a younger brother who was just seventeen. Ruby was always the talented child, and since a young age all she wanted was to become someone more than a rich man's daughter. Ruby's father made sure that all of his children were educated and happy. Because of Ruby's interest and gift in dancing she received a simple education but a vigorous schedule of dance lessons.

By the time she was fifteen Ruby was spending more time in a theatre than in her own home. As her popularity grew she began to crave the attention. Soon she was growing distant with her family, thirsty for the limelight. Instead of coming home for christmas she would be out with the latest actor or reporter, trying to get her name in the papers. Ruby couldn't stand the criticism and thoughts of failure began to swarm her, because of this pressure her progression began to dwindle. By the time she was seventeen she was nothing more than a background dancer in those new musical theatre shows. With desperation she knew that she needed to find a man who would bring her talent to the front pages. Kenny Alder came along just a couple months later. He was a handsome up and coming stage actor, with enough star power to take over all of New York City. Their relationship was dangerously fiery, fueled by fame and lust. Just a month after meeting each other they decided to get married.

Years of turmoil passed by like sand falling between Ruby's fingers. Her husband Kenny had grown wildly famous while she followed pathetically in his tracks. Her dancing career was set on hold while she bore their only child, Nelly. To the public she was just another beautiful face that was wrapped around Kenny Alder's arm. Their relationship never dwindled, but their bickering and love making intensified. Kenny and Ruby were delightfully greeted by the public whenever they were out of their grand apartment in NYC, and they lived a life that many people coveted.

As Kenny's career progressed it would have been foolish to say that he was completely faithful to his wife. But the Alder's dysfunctional lifestyle only made the people more curious, so Ruby ignored the facts. They played hurtful games with each other, and never expressed their true feelings. In year five of their marriage Ruby had finally had enough; she didn't want to the shadow of Kenny Alder anymore. If she couldn't become famous in his circle of friends she would become famous elsewhere.

Burlesque was secretly booming in the city, and Ruby had plenty of dance experience. Within a couple of weeks she was working at the most popular speakeasies in New York City. She and her husband rarely spoke, and publicity managed to keep her scandalous job under wraps.

But secrets can't stay secret forever, not when you're married to Kenny Alder. A year and a half later Kenny managed to be in the same speakeasy Ruby was working in. Kenny wasn't the type of man who liked to make a scene, but he made the biggest scene that all of New York City knew about the next morning.

Keeping in contact only with her older sister Florence, Ruby decided to leave town and work on the Malcolm. If she couldn't escape her shamed name, then she could at least escape her wild husband.

{ Personality }
Ruby has just the right mixture of bubbly elegance. When surrounded by people she always seeks to be the center of attention; she believes whole heartedly that she was born for the limelight. Ruby only feels accomplished when someone knows her name, or she sees it in the paper, or in the lights above theaters. She is entirely too confident in herself, and comes off as a bit of a diva. Ruby expects the best out of herself and everyone around her, but perhaps that's a family trait.

She always keeps herself in check, trying to keep up the best of appearances. Her body and her face are her pride, seeing that she's kept herself in good shape from all the dancing. Ruby struts anywhere she goes, giving everyone the impression that she owns the place. People only have a problem with Ruby when they are intimidated by her. Ruby is delightfully honest, and tries to do the right thing, or least the right thing in her mind. She also has the remarkable ability of making anyone she talks to feel like they are the only person on earth.

Her starlet attitude is the strongest trait that she possesses, but she is also a bright young woman with a kind heart.

A wheat blonde color and long, despite the recent bob fad.

{ Eyes }
Crystal blue eyes.

{ Other }
Ruby only has one scar on her body, a small gash on her shoulder from when a fellow dancer knocked her off the stage in the midst of a fight.
