Dancing Ruby Wings
Character Description
Ruby, a 23 year old Nexus-born woman, Exalted while walking the streets of her birthplace after two older men attempted to mug and rape her. Once the daughter of a proud aristocrat, Ruby found herself fleeing for her life, a dawn caste mark burning bright on her forehead, her ears filled with the screams of "Anathema!" from those who saw her.
Dancing Ruby Wings has the built body of a female warrior, strong yet flexible, the perfect outlines of definition along the skin of her body. She wears plated armor that lays tight against her skin. Although she used to wear bandanges around her face, mouth, and forehead in an attempt to hide her caste mark, she has discarded these while in the company of friends. She has bright blond hair that frames her tanned face in straight, yet spiky layers. Her bright red eyes stand out, their blood red color adding to her intimidation during battle. Her reaver daiklave, Answerer, is always by her side, either in hand or strapped to her back, its orichalcum blade glinting in the sunlight.
Character Background
After her exaltation, Ruby wandered the land following traces of dreams that led her deep into the forests of the East. There, she met the figures from her dreams, several villagers whom had all exalted around the same time. Although she exalted earlier than these barbarians, she knew little of her powers, and set of on a journey of discovery with them. In time, they crossed back across the plains, had strange visions of their past lives together, fought strange foes, and met a First Age Lunar, named Alaethis, who knew about their shadowed past.
The group eventually made there way back to Nexus. In the process, Ruby had her first child, Everburning Ember. She found refuge in her old home, but her mother eventually turned on them, and the Wyld Hunt attacked, burning down the mansion and killing her father. It was also in Nexus when she and Endless Chase broke off their engagement, and Ruby realized her true feelings for Alaethis, the man that loved her in the First Age. She tracked her mother down in Lookshy, avenging her father's death, but getting herself and the group in trouble in the process.
After finally leaving Lookshy after some tense negotiations, the group headed to Rathess, Ruby's home in the First Age. She found out a lot about her past, including meeting the person who caused her demise, a Sidereal named Hayako, one of the Chosen of Endings.
Ruby has admitted her feelings to Alaethis, who has now taken her as his own. She is currently pregnant with their first child, a half caste who is sure to be quite the handful when it is born. The party has succeeded in liberating Rathess from Han'Tha after convicing the Dawn Caste Filial Wisdom, one of the demon's followers, the truth of the Unconquered Sun.
Not long after the discovery that Zenleigha, one of her best friends, was pregnant with her mate's baby, Alaethis himself appeared out of nowhere. Not moments later, Pathien burst into the room to announce an attack by ghosts on the city of Lookshy. An assassin succeeded in murdering the Daimyo of Lookshy, but was quickly dispatched by Answerer. Alaethis has expressed his concern to Ruby that she has the tendency to enjoy bloodshed, and Ruby has promised to be more careful. She has also been informed by her First Age mate that her unborn baby is going to be a boy, news that they both are very happy about.
The battle at Lookshy has begun. Their attempt at a sneak attack failed as their ship was bombarded by enemies. Soon after Alaethis jumped off the ship to attack the nearby flying enemies, Ruby followed with the help of the flying abilities of her First Age armor, chasing after to help her mate in battle.
