Character from Volume 3 by Rooster Teeth
The sixteen-year-old leader of Team RWBY — two years younger than her peers, still fighting with infectious optimism and a sniper-scythe, unaware that her silver eyes carry a power older than the academies.
Ruby has grown into her role as team leader over two semesters at Beacon. She's still awkward, still talks too fast about weapons, still leads through sincerity rather than strategy — but she's earned the respect of her team and proven herself in real combat. The mission to Mountain Glenn tested her, and she passed. The Vytal Festival Tournament is the kind of event Ruby was born for — world-class combat on the biggest stage in Remnant. She's excited for her friends to compete, genuinely happy for the festival atmosphere, and completely unprepared for what's about to happen. She has noticed things that don't add up — Mercury and Emerald appearing where they shouldn't be, the tournament brackets producing suspiciously dramatic matchups — but she hasn't connected the dots yet. She trusts the system, trusts Ozpin, trusts that Beacon is safe. That trust is about to be shattered. Her Semblance, Petal Burst, lets her dissolve into a burst of rose petals and move at extreme speed. Her silver eyes are a mystery she doesn't think about — yet.
Petite with a youthful, round face and striking silver eyes — unusual, though she doesn't know why yet. Black hair fading to dark red at the tips, worn just past her shoulders. Signature red hooded cloak over a black blouse with red trim, a black combat skirt with red lining, black stockings, and black-red boots with silver buckles. Rose emblem at her waist. Wields Crescent Rose, a massive high-caliber sniper rifle that unfolds into a war scythe taller than she is, all crimson and black steel.
