Who wants a wolf girl?

So, Prim and Barbara mun coming here with what will hopefully be my last character for a while... Ruby here is coming to you from Once Upon a Time, here to make friends and kick the butts of anyone who dares to touch them. 8|

For those who are unfamiliar with her series (and don't mind being spoiled) Ruby -  like most from her canon - is actually a fairy tale, though her story's a little bit different than what many people are used to. Starting with the fact that she's the incarnation of not just one story, but three.

The most obvious of them? Little Red Riding hood. Poor Ruby - or Red, as she was called back then - grew up in constant danger from a massive wolf. D: The size of a small pony, it used its supernatural strength to take down livestock and terrorize the population.

Less obviously? She's the Big Bad Wolf itself - not that she knew it. Ruby is in fact a werewolf, and she's worked long and hard to come to accept that (despite numerous tragedies along the way.)

...She's also Rose Red. As in Snow White and Rose Red. As in, if you dare to lay one finger on Snow White - who's arriving along side her - and she will tear your arm off. 8| ...Maybe not literally, mind, but she could.

See, this isn't the first time Ruby's been dragged across worlds. The evil Queen Regina cast a curse that dragged everyone from their world into ours, robbing them of their memories and replacing them with fake lives and new personalities.... That's where "Ruby" came in. The curse has since ended, resulting in two lives inside of this girl's head - along with distinct sets of skills to go with both her forest life, and the modern world. (Yay for diversity?)

It's not as bad as it sounds, what with everyone else in the town experiencing the same thing. Ruby's already used to being more than she seems... But there were a few other side effects of shifting worlds: the nature of magic shifted. Where Ruby used to be able to access her powers only close to the full moon (or so it seems to have been implied), she now has 24/7 access to them. That means - when her powers are active - she can hear your heart beat from twenty feet away. She can track you by scent. She can move with blurring speed. And yeah - she can probably tear your arm off.  DX (...Also, during the full moon, she still turns into a wolf. Full control, but pretty bestial - Ruby has shown zero issue with ripping enemy soldiers to shreds in that form.... Key word being "Enemy," mind. She's a wolf -a  pack animal. Allies are big with her.)


Anyway, TL:DR - Fun loving girl. Great friend. Bad enemy. Hurt Snow and she'll tear your arm off. 8| )

Oh, and for anyone who comes across her wolf form at some point - the bites don't cause you to turn. It's stated that they *mark* people (and the scars from where her Granny got bit never went away.) It's known that there *is* a way to turn people, but how has yet to be stated... Other than that, it's passed on by genetics. ^^

I've only seen like, two episodes of Once Upon A Time but that is a really cool take on Little Red Riding Hood.

I think she'll be a really interesting addition to the arena :3a
