Also, I'll be revealing a lot about Ruby's backstory including why she's working with Aperture now and the origins of her powers!

In terms of inspiration? I was just researching superpowers and I found out about Technopathy! Ruby formed when I found a character-drawing for her but to be honest, most of the stuff about Ruby I've changed as I went! That's why I'm thankful for outlining no particular background! She changes drastically which is why I think she's cool! Plus, I ship Cypress and her because arch-nemesis must be shipped!
