14 – Ruby is pure impulse. She’ll rush right into a situation without any hesitation. She says what’s on her mind and almost never pulls her punches (she’s often getting nudged by Fisher to stop talking). She’s headstrong, street savvy, and has a thirst for the extreme. Snowboard down a hill on a slice of bark to outrun an avalanche? Sure! She’s up for it. That’s not to say she’s tomboy-ish. Ruby is definitely a pretty girl, but she’s just not one to flaunt it. Nothing is impossible to her. She has a “can-do” attitude and will go to great lengths to finish a job. Each assignment is like a personal challenge, as if someone said, “I bet you can’t do this.”
When the jobs get crazy, Ruby’s able to keep her cool façade under any amount of pressure – which is handy, considering Fisher is prone to panic. She lives so much of her life on the edge, that no amount of danger fazes her. The universe likes Ruby and usually goes out of its way to let her come out on top of even the most harried of situations. Ruby doesn’t get a long well with authority figures. Order her to do one thing and she’ll likely do another. Customers are not authority figures in her world, though. If you’ve got the coin, she’s on your side. She’s not all tough as nails, though. She has a secret sensitive side that manifests itself in a crush on a local stunt pilot. Will this eventually boil over into a full blown girly meltdown? She also has a love affair with sizzling, not-too-crisp bacon, but who doesn’t? Ruby is saving her money for… well, whatever Ruby wants at that moment. Whether it’s a really cool new product, or some device that’s going to (seemingly) make her life easier, she’s all for it.
RUBY SIDES
1. RUBY
I knew I’d be too tempted to eat that pie, so I put hot sauce all over it and left it in the fridge where anyone could mistake it for a normal, non-hot-sauced pie and eat it. Which now that I say that out loud, just confirms what an awesome idea it was.
2. RUBY
Ooooh! Look, there he is now! Geez, he’s so dreamy I just want to walk over there and punch his face in.
3. RUBY
If the lake creature has its way it’ll flood the city and we’ll have to surf to school! Wait, explain to me again why this would be a bad thing.
4. RUBY
You wouldn’t understand, Fish, when I hear music I just have to move! It’s just like bacon. How can you smell it and not want it in your mouth? So, yeah, bacon is a lot like dancing. I just wish I could dance like I eat bacon.
5. RUBY
(Defending Fisher)
Nobody messes with my brother. Except me. Like the time I dressed him up in a space-fish outfit and sent him door-to-door making “Bass-tronaut” puns on his 7th birthday.
6. RUBY
Aw, what is that smell?! Gak, it’s in my mouth! I think I’m dying! (Overly dramatic) Fisher, tell mom… that it was you who broke her vase.
7. RUBY
Okay, Catalina, I’m going to need you to dig deep for this. The whole world might hang in the balance. You need to get the keys from the guard and… Well, right now you need to stop blowing bubbles in my face.
