Here we go. Ruby lore as requested by @mitspeiler and @jin-kies
✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?
I didn't come up with it. Friend thought of it because she is a redhead, so I rolled with it. I expanded her name by making Ruby short for Rubelle. It sounds nice, but unfortunately sounds like rubella, which kinda ties to her sickly constitution. Ronove is alliterative and a reference to the demon who reaps the souls of people near death. Ruby often feels like she's near death due to her ilnesses.
🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
Ruby's antics span her life. About 10 during her childhood days, 16 during her teen story, and early 20s when she runs away from home to join a circus.
🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?
Yes, Fenetre a fox boy from the circus. He convinced her to leave home so she can travel the world.
🍕 - What is their favorite food?
Pancakes, gummies, and strawberries
💼 - What do they do for a living?
Briefly worked as a manor cleaner as a teen. Fortune teller for the circus

Really good at giving accurate tarot readings. In contrast, she cannot read a crystal ball or see the future.
