Having barely any social contact at all outside of her parents caused her social interactions to be rather awkward to say the least, though she is generally a charismatic person once someone gets to know her. Ruby always has eyes on her goal, she knows what she wants and is very determined to fulfill everything that she aspires. Whether that is passing the next exam or defeating a villain does not matter- It is the determined nature of hers that has helped her greatly throughout the years of intense training in her childhood and it would surely continue to help her out when part of the academy. However, since she was raised in a polite manner, people are quick to find out that Ruby is a very polite and friendly person. Just because she is inexperienced in any social interaction, or mayhaps teambased exercises, doesn't mean that she is against learning something new. After all that was what her parents taught her; She had to keep learning and improving herself. Always. Her favorite free-time activities contain such enjoyable elements like, working out the whole evening, learning and studying and more training! The only games she ever played as a child were either with her parents or her brother. However, those times were sadly rather rare. It is not that she doesn't like the concept of games, they really are fun for her too. However, when someone is raised to believe that training is the way to go since she (according to her parents) needs it, they tend to rather choose these kind of activities over playing games. Other than those things, Ruby has found a liking to music. To heavy-rock in particular, it is the kind of music which gets her blood boiling and greatly improves her spirit when doing and kind of exercise. Her biggest dislike would have to be the lack of productivity, or basically doing nothing. Since Ruby is basically an endless spring of energy, it becomes quite hard for her to find any rest besides sleeping. Once she redeems an activity to be useless or a waste of time, she is usually quick to stop exactly that action. However, when anything she does is given a purpose, Ruby is quick to give it 110%. [Center][b]Background[/b][/Center] [Center]Ruby Mamoru was born into her family four (4) years after her elder brother was born. Luckily for her, both her mother and father still lived together and were happily married. She always considered herself lucky that that was the case since the divorce rate had increased quite a bit over the years. Therefore, growing up in a rather happy family was almost considered a privilege by Ruby. Ruby had inherited a combined version of her parent’s quirks. Her outward appearance was like that of her mother, since there was a pair of pointy feline ears on top of her head which replaced her human-ears. Her tailbone was shaped differently too, whereas it would stop for a “normal” human, Ruby’s tailbone extended for another 60 centimeters (roughly 23 inches) and formed the tail which closely resembled that of a cat in its anatomical structure. The tail itself was covered in fur which matched her natural hair color. Admittedly, during the first years of her life it was quite difficult to understand how her tail worked or how to control it. However, by the age of five (5) Ruby was able to control it like it was a limb of her body. It wasn’t exactly useful, it was rather difficult to find clothes that were fitting without hurting the tail, it usually required some additional fixes by her mother; like adding a hole for the tail to fit through her pants. The quirk of her father manifested later, by the age of four (4). Her brother, Yoshiteru Mamoru on the other hand was less fortunate than she was. He was born… quirkless. This was quite the surprise since having a quirkless child was a rather uncommon event after all these generations of quirk-users. It was especially disappointing for Yoshiteru’s parents. Their goal was to raise a child who could become a hero one day. Both of them aspired to become pro heroes one day, however unfortunately both were unable to get into any academy which could’ve given them the required license. They simply lacked the physical ability that was necessary and they never passed and practical entrance exam. Coincidentally, that was how they met too; they were united by their failure in entering an academy and eventually came together. After they got married, they decided to have children who were destined to succeed their wishes and become professional heroes. Thus, when their first son was born, Yoshiteru, it was a shock for them to find out that he was quirkless. A quirkless son could never become a hero, he could never fulfill the dream which they themselves could not either! Therefore, it was quickly clear, they had to get a second child. Like that, Ruby was eventually born. Basically, her whole life, Ruby had been trained to be strong enough to be accepted into any hero academy. That meant that as soon as she could walk her parents made Ruby do tedious and difficult exercises to improve the girl’s physical condition. When she was not learning, she was training and working out. It was a life that would probably be considered torture by some other parents, since Ruby never had any time for friends or anything similar to that. By the age of 12 she was barely aware of how the concept “friend” would work out since she never had any. Her life in school consisted of her going to school for half of the day, coming home and then either learning or working out. Yoshiteru on the other hand, even though he was given way less attention than Ruby was, lived his childhood rather normally and happily. The boy was known for his rather charming personality and he resembled the typical socially active extrovert. Even though he was quirkless he was able to make plenty of friends just thanks to his personality. One could say that Ruby and Yoshiteru were polar opposites. During her training, Ruby was tought numerous ways to compete in any physical situation. The girl needed to be prepared to fight villains as a hero, to pass the physical exams just as well as any combat-related exams. In order to achieve that, Ruby needed something she can attack with, since her quirk was not reliable for offensive purposes. Therefore they went as far as to hire a teacher that tought Ruby how to fight with a sword, and while she certainly is not the best fighter out there, her abilities were enough for her to make her way through any exams and into Komei. Ever since her sword as one of her only means of offense is a necessary inclusion in her costume and kit. Because of the doctrine of her parents, Ruby’s character formed itself to become one of determined nature. Almost having to listen everyday how great it would be to become a pro hero, how it would be the ultimate goal for Ruby, the poor child quickly adapted that way of thinking and could only think about becoming a hero herself. She wanted to succeed her parents and make them proud, she didn’t know any better. Her parents effectively raised a child who wanted nothing more than to make her parents proud and become a hero. So when Ruby eventually applied to multiple different academies and got accepted by Komei, at least for the exams, it was as if the dream for her parents had already come true. Now Ruby was very close to becoming a professional hero, she would just have to complete the academy. At that time her body was in peak condition, as much as it was possible for a human anyways that had no physically enhancing quirk. Ruby knew that she would have to rely on her physical abilities in any confrontation, since her quirk was very much a defensive one. However, she was willing to go beyond her limits to fulfill the implanted dream in her mind and to make her parents truly proud.
