Character Profile - Ruby Rose

RUBY ROSE

Appearance: Female Hedgehog. Red fur. 18 years old. Think a much older Amy.

Clothes: Black top and Black shorts. Clothes are a compromise between a stealthy black suit and light smaller clothes to keep her cool in extreme heat environments.

Strengths and abilities: Ruby had been trained to fight under extreme temperatures. Her fighting technique is to choose a hot arena and let the heat wear down her opponent as they fight, thus giving her an edge. She is quick, nimble and trained like the other G.A.S.H. members.

Weaknesses: Can rely too much on fighting in a very hot arena. Take away the heat and you take away her advantage. She isn’t as strong as most fighters.

Gadgets: Like Amy, Ruby attacks with a giant piko piko hammer. This one is a much more deadly one, having spiked edges. Name pending.

History: What is known of her past is similar to the other Deadly gems and Joz. Here’s her story in Diamonds own words (taken from The 3 Shadows: Episode 4: Hunters: chapter 5)

Emerald, Ruby and myself joined GASH at a very young age. We had lost our families, and the foster ones only upset us. We felt angry at the world and started lashing out. We robbed people and tested our limits every time. Soon we found we had no moral limits. GASH saw this in each of us and sent Sapphire to collect us. To this date she has never told us her story, but she became our mentors. For years we trained under her, learning expert sword skills and enhancing our strength, speed and agility. We were being trained to kill, to be cold, ruthless and professional. We learned stealth and tracking skills. We were being trained to be the best Assassins, Spies and Bounty hunters this world has ever know. We've worked hard to be GASH graduates. When we passed all 3 of us begged to be Sapphire's apprentices. She accepted and soon we were a team.

Rivals: Joz the bat aka Master hunter. She also wants to take over from Sapphire’s reign as Leader, though she is more passive in this pursuit.

Link to Sonic's time: Amy’s Grandmother. Due to something completely overlooked I had to come up with an explanation as to why she didn’t change her name when she got married. Simply Rose is such a famous name that the men take that name.

Other notes: Once Diamond and Sapphire were set in stone, Ruby and Emerald were natural choices. Emerald seemed better as a Chameleon since they are usually green. Also Ruby fits the Hedgehog better as Amy is pink. For her special skill I went down a clichéd route, with red = fire.
