Inspired by @yarboyandy2 because I like joining bandwagons
Ruthmary Woodford was a young woman living in a Puritan town in the 1600s. She was an odd young lady, seemingly fragile enough she could blow over in the wind, and didn’t enjoy talking all that much.
So when she got called as a Slayer, it was right around the time Salem started the witch hunt. Believing her to be a witch, they tried to burn Ruthmary at the stake. She managed to fight her way out, killing some people in the process, changed from the devastation of her own family sending her to the chopping block.
She ran for her life, pursued by a mob, and that’s when she met Elias Manton, a fledgling vampire from England, and that’s all he remembered about himself. The pair would later find out he was a Watcher before coming to the states, sent to help her.
Ruthmary, wishing to shed her former life and identity much like a vampire, chose the name Ruby. Ruby and Elias spent her remaining years together as nomads, traveling across the states, fighting injustice from humans and demons alike.
No one knows exactly how Ruby died. Some say it was illness, others blood loss. What is known is she died peacefully with Elias by her side.
This would not be the end for Ruby, however. She would be resurrected in LA centuries later by a necromancer attempting to use her against Angel Investigations. She resisted the magic, using all that pent up rage when alive and dead to fight back against it. Angel Investigations helped her find Elias, now a history professor in England. After a checkup from both Fred and Elias’ vampiric “sister” and renowned doctor, Lexi, Ruby had been determined as healthy and back for good.
Now, Ruby lives a new married life with Elias, on call for Slayer HQ as she adjusts to living in the 21st century.
Personality wise she’s quiet, takes things literally, and is quite intense. She’s got some anger issues from that burning at the stake thing. Ruby is someone you’d want as your friend rather than your enemy.
