Model's name: Amber Heard
Personality:
Ruby is the kind of person who is extremely quiet when she first enters a new situation. She takes the time to get a feel for the people around her before she opens up. Once she relaxes into a situation, Ruby can be quite outgoing and friendly. She's grown to like helping and working with others, a quality long practised due to her part in school teams. However she will always prefer being independent - the experiences of being an only child and an outcast in the later years of her high school life have shaped her to rely on herself first and foremost.
She has a rather dark, sarcastic sense of humor though and tends to enjoy a fight (she blames it on being competitive). When tired or stressed she tends to be rather clumsy and make more mistakes than usual, and so can lead to her to become upset and frustrated with herself. In Ruby's eyes, making mistakes is not an option.
Likes:
- Fighting (with or without weaponry)
- Music (punk, rock, and rap are her favourites)
- Looking good
- Helping others
- Being outside, be it at the beach, the countryside, even her backyard
Dislikes:
- Evil vampires
- Losing
- Spiders
- Being called a 'ditz' because of her hair colour and interest in looking good
- Demons
Strengths:
* Expertly trained in the mixed martial art Muay Thai
* Intelligent
* Determined - very competitive
* Stronger than she looks
* Agile
Weaknesses:
* Jealous
* Impatient
* Short-tempered
* She's human
History:
Ruby Ward arrived into the world on April 9th in 1984 and spent her childhood and teenage life growing up in Marco Island, Florida with her parents, Louis and Evelyn. Growing up beside the ocean, Ruby's love for the water quickly grew and at the age of nine she was an avid surfer and a keen swimmer. From then on her interest in sports expanded, with Ruby joining the baseball and volleyball team, two teams she would continue to play in throughout high school.
When Ruby was twelve, her parents enrolled her in mixed martial arts classes for self-defense. However, they did not know how useful knowledge of MMA would prove to be later on in Ruby's teenage years.*
Contrasting to Ruby's love of sport, in her teenage years she developed a fascination with beauty and the maintaining of it. Her mother had always been one to preen and the knowledge of skin/haircare she possessed became a sort of 'family heirloom' as she had inherited it from her mother and was now passing it down to Ruby. Hair and makeup became two of Ruby's favourite things; hence her entry into the 'popular' crowd. Unlike many other 'popular' girls, Ruby kept in contact with existing friends and didn't leave the sports teams she was in.
* Despite her happiness and contentment with life, Ruby's path for the future of her life (in and out of school) was suddenly switched when she was fourteen. Ruby was visited one Monday after school by a man named Rowan Jones. Although uncomfortable with being alone with this stranger he proved no threat and Ruby could see he had no ulterior motive. Instead he had arrived to inform her of special abilities she possessed, the abilities of a potential vampire slayer. He told her he would be her Watcher, and he would unto his untimely death when she was sixteen. With Rowan's help, Ruby was shaped into the mold of a proper slayer and battled against the undead in the evenings and nighttime of her life.
Although a smart girl, Ruby's grades started to slip because of the late night slayings. Her parents became confused and paid for tutors to try and improve her grades. Because of this, she became stressed and found it hard to balance school, a social life and the secret of being a vampire slayer. For a while Ruby gave up hanging out with her friends to focus on her grades so that her parents would be satisfied and would stop the tutoring. Thankfully, her grades did improve and her social life was restored.
Unfortunately however, after a publicstaking of incident involving a vampire at the local shopping mall, Ruby had no choice but to leave school at the age of seventeen. The 'popular' crowd ostracized her, wishing to have no interaction with her and soon Ruby lost interest in everybody around her.
Three years later, Ruby chose to pack her bags and leave her family home after deciding that Marco Island was no longer the pleasant place of her childhood and had been changed by the undead. She told her parents the excuse of her wanting to 'see the world outside of Marco Island' and they let her go, albeit reluctantly.
Now Ruby Ward has arrived in Sunnydale, unknowingly stumbling into a even larger hell-hole of a city.
