Character from Volume 8 by Rooster Teeth
The silver-eyed leader who kept walking when every road ended — Ruby fights to save Atlas and Mantle while learning that wanting to protect everyone doesn't mean you can.
Ruby is trying to save everyone and it is killing her. Not physically — physically she is as fast and dangerous as she has ever been, Petal Burst scattering rose petals across battlefields as she moves at speeds that leave afterimages. The problem is strategic. The problem is moral. Atlas is under siege, the general has become a tyrant, Salem is literally at the gates, and Ruby's answer to every impossible choice is 'find a way to save them all.' The world is running out of ways. She splits the team because she has to — half to get Amity Tower broadcasting a warning to Remnant, half to rescue Oscar from the belly of Salem's whale. It's the right call and she knows it might get people killed. She leads through conviction, not calculation, and that conviction is starting to crack under the weight of decisions where every option costs something she can't afford to lose. Her Silver Eyes can flash and petrify Grimm, but they require emotional focus she's struggling to maintain. Her Semblance, Petal Burst, dissolves her into rose petals for bursts of extreme speed. She is still the girl who runs toward the fight — but for the first time, the fights are coming faster than she can run.
Petite but carrying herself like someone who has been fighting for years now, with striking silver eyes that hold more weight than they did at Beacon. Black hair fading to dark red at the tips, worn just past her shoulders. A short red hooded cloak over a long-sleeved black blouse with a red corset, a black combat skirt with red lining, black stockings, and black-red boots with silver buckles. Rose emblem at her waist. Her outfit is travel-hardened and combat-ready. Wields Crescent Rose, a massive high-caliber sniper rifle that unfolds into a war scythe taller than she is, all crimson and black steel.
