Ruby Chen

Ruby Chen
15 || Straight|| Single
Daughter of Hephaestus

Short Character Description:
Ruby is  a shy, nervous and sometimes rather odd girl. Her self esteem is very low and she doesn’t like drawing attention to herself and spends a lot of time in the forge. There are certain place in camp she has yet to visit, including the stables and the strawberry fields.  The recent creation of her automaton companion, a wolf she named Luna, has made her feel a little more confident, but she can still fall back into old habits. Her attitude towards love is very negative and she thinks that falling in love makes you go crazy. She doesn’t seem to get on with people her own age and finds it easier to talk to older teenagers and some adults. In her opinion, her taste in music isn’t that diverse (mostly goth, punk, metal, alternative and some industrial) but can spend ages listening to music and zoning out.  She has recently started making jewellery and other little odds and ends and hopes to do some custom orders.

Luna

Luna is an automaton wolf created by Ruby with a lot of help from her older brother Wyatt. She is slightly smaller than an average timber wolf and very light bronze in colour and was named after Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. As she has been around for less than a year, she is still kind of like a puppy and enjoys playing and meeting new people. Luna has been programmed to protect Ruby from monsters and also to keep an eye on her and keep her from doing anything stupid. She understands human speech but communicates through barking, growling etc.  



Desired plots:.
~ Ruby needs to make some friends or even enemies.
~Someone to talk about music/books/films/tv shows with.
~ Someone to either agree or disagree with her attitude towards love.
~ Jewellery making.  
~ Help with training and socialising Luna would be nice
~ It may be time for her attitude towards love to be messed with.



Anything else?
Nothing that I can think of right now. If you can think of any plots where Ruby could be useful, let me know. Thanks.

Irene could be her friend and help her come out of her shell, if you want to, that is.

We could give it a shot. Got any ideas?

Not really. They could meet in the woods where Irene usually stays.

Hey! So Tormund here has been at the camp for nearly a year now. And he loves kids. I'm thinking maybe he could earn her trust and together they could convince each other to step out of their shells?

Great idea. Do you want to start the thread or shall I?

Added some more stuff if anyone's interested.

Aurora's really bad at making friends, but I could see her getting along fairly well with Ruby. Maybe the two could be friends, Aurora's got a bit too much of an ego, maybe try and help Ruby build her confidence?

Excellent idea. I'll send you a pm and we'll see if we can get something sorted.

Minor updates, if anyone's interested...

Ageha wishes to sign up for jewel making plots. She wouldn't be able to make them at all but she loves jewels and might design them a little bit if Ruby needs inspiration. Apart from that I know Ageha could help Ruby to get business running. I'm sure she'd manage to find some customers for Ruby to sell her things to! So I don't know? Does that sound any kind of interesting for Ruby?

Very interesting. Especially the design part. Ruby has a little bit of trouble designing 'normal' jewellery, so any help would be useful.

Have added another minor update.
