My Descendants character redesigns: Ruby Fitzherbert
Ruby Fitzherbert is the daughter of Princess Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled (2010). She technically appears on the animated miniseries Descendants: Wicked World but we never see her face. While she is blonde on the show, I wanted to make her brunette because both Rapunzel and Eugene have brown hair at the end of the movie, and I know that Rapunzel has blonde hair on Tangled: The Series but that makes no sense and Ruby would most likely be brunette because brown hair is the dominant gene. Anyway, Ruby is wearing a lavender princess dress to match her mother's style, and heeled riding boots to match her father's style.

I'd love to know more about your versions of Ruby and Zellie, if you had any fun facts or info about them
Hi!
Alright, so let's talk about Ruby & Anxelin (Zellie) Fitzherbert:
They're fraternal twins, born 5 minutes apart
Birthday: August 1, 2000
Full Names: Ruby Ariana & Anxelin Honerva
They have 3 younger siblings: Ehren, Radek & Gina
They can each speak German & English fluently
In addition, Ruby is also semi-fluent in Arabic and fully fluent in French. Anxelin is semi-fluent in the language of Mermaids.
Ruby is the heir to the Corona throne, while Zellie is set to inherit the Dark Kingdom from her grandfather, King Edmund (Eugene's father from the Tangled Series)
Axelin is the only Fitzherbert child to not have her name sounds like/resemble her parents, while is why she likes for people to call her Zellie (makes her feel less disconnected)
In turn, Ruby prefers to be called her nickname, Razzie (but she'll respond to Ruby more than Zellie will respond to her full name)
They're roommates at Auradon Prep
Ruby's into bright pastels, while Zellie's more of a whimsigoth girlie
As a result her mother's previous powers, Ruby has the ability to heal people with her tears. Her family has keep this information private, as to not have people try to exploit Ruby (and Ruby only tells people she trusts about it, like her friends)
Both are extremely talented painters; they're Co-Presidents of the Art Club at Auradon Prep
When they arrived at Auradon Prep, Ruby extended Zellie the offer to hang out with her and her friends, but Axelin declined:
Despite her love for her sister, she wanted to try and branch out and make her own friends, which she did.
Ruby is far more extroverted then her sister, who's more introverted
Ruby is dating Prince Ali-Hakim of Agrabah
They are second-cousins to the vonDen royal family of Nottingham, as their grandmother's sister, Willow, is the Queen (their mother is first-cousins with the vonDen royal children)
Hope this was a helpful insight into the eldest royal twins of Corona (as they aren't the only royal twins of Corona XD)! I hope you like them!
What if Anxelin and Ruby are actually Rapunzel's granddaughters? Because Rapunzel has a daughter who's as old as Ella, making Meadow also as old as Maleficent, just slightly younger than Ursula, so either Rapunzel was very young when she had Meadow or she'd be old (considering the minimum 36 years between Meadow's birth and D1) when she had Anxelin and Ruby. But Meadow would be at the perfect age to have two daughters, considering she's Maleficent's age.
See Disney, this is what happens when you destroy your timeline, you turn Rapunzel and Eugene into grandparents
