[u][b]Personality[/b][/u]
Ruth is best described by all those who had met her as somewhat of a ditz. She's not the brightest and is unable to focus for too long on anything if it doesn't interest her. This is a source of tension between her and her teachers, who constantly have to check on her during lessons to make sure she hasn't started daydreaming. Outside of classes, she tends to hang round large groups of students, listening to their conversations but rarely joining in, and has no true friends yet due to her shyness. If someone does talk to her though, they'll find she's very friendly... perhaps a little [i]too[/i] friendly, with no sense of social boundaries and likely to trust anyone who shows her even the slightest amount of kindness. She is incapable of doing wrong to anyone - at least not intentionally - and even less capable of sensing the dark intentions of others, making her vulnerable to manipulation.

[u][b]History[/b][/u]
Ruth is a halfblood, child of the muggle Michael Jones and the witch Cornelia Weaver. Cornelia had once attended Hogwarts in her youth, but after falling in love with Michael, decided to give up using magic and adapt to a normal lifestyle. She had two children, Ruth and her younger brother Robert, and got a job as a business woman, doing all she could to support her family. However, as hard as she tried, Cornelia could never quite rid herself of her need for magic, and would often use little tricks now and then when she felt she could get away for it.

To make things even more complicated, it quickly turned out that Ruth had inherited her mother's abilities. Her powers first became apparent when Ruth accidentally sent a boy flying after he startled her by putting a beetle down the back of her jumper. After this incident, Cornelia, who had been keeping her magical heritage a secret from her family, finally decided to tell them the truth, and told them that Ruth herself should go to Hogwarts in order to train her magical abilities. Michael was uncertain and Ruth even less so as it would mean leaving all her friends behind. After much persuading though, Ruth eventually became curious of a world in which magic existed, and was sent off to Hogwarts and sorted into the Hufflepuff house.

During her first two years at Hogwarts, Ruth was like a lot of Hufflepuffs, having no particular area of expertise. She was fairly average in most subjects, aside from History of Magic which she found the most boring and therefore never tried all that much for, and while she did enjoy Potions class the most, she wasn't particularly good at it as she often enjoyed going off the recipe and experimenting. The results often blew up in her face, quite literally. However, once she reached third year, she started taking Care of Magical Creatures and Divination, the latter of which she discovered she had quite the talent for. However, due to the inexact nature of Divination, don't expect her to be making huge or entirely accurate predictions. After discovering her true magical talent, Ruth has become less crazy about Potions, and while she still enjoys the subject, she's less likely to blow up the Potions Lab, much to her teacher's relief.

Now she's in 4th year, and after hearing about the extracurricular Ghoul Studies, she's become curious. A class teaching about ghosts and the mysteries of death? She knew magic was powerful but she never thought it was that powerful. Now, eager to find out about a very different side of magic, she had decided to take up the class.

Ash, a small and mischievous young barn owl. He gained his name due to his unusual and distinctive colouring. He's Ruth's only real friend at the moment, and while he does have a tendency to play pranks on her, he remains her loyal companion.[/hider][/hider]
