[edit] Appearance

Ruby, in her false form, looks like a standard teenager the same age as Toya Kinomoto. She has long, brown hair that has a single braid on her right side that rest on her shoulder, and bangs cut just above her eyebrows. In her true form, her hair becomes pink, which now forms to buns on the top of her head, she grows large butterfly-like wings, and her dress seems more traditional to China, but still keeps the pink theme.

[edit] Personality

Ruby Moon is actually genderless, apparently in contrast to the other guardians, but chooses to adopt female dress and mannerisms. Ruby has said that she chooses the girl's uniform over the boy's because it is "cuter." However, Ruby adopts feminine mannerisms to a frequently alarming degree, and her efforts to ingratiate herself with Toya tend to result in his becoming extremely annoyed.

[edit] Storyline

[edit] Sakura Card Arc

When Eriol Hiiragizawa transfers to Tomoeda Elementary, Ruby Moon takes on the disguise of Nakuru Akizuki and enrolls at Seijou High School in the same class as Toya Kinomoto and Yukito Tsukishiro. Once there, she becomes a general nuisance, hugging Toya and sending Yukito away on errands, often with enigmatic statements.

Ruby is well aware that Yue's magical energy is rapidly running out and that Toya could renew it. She plans to take that energy for herself, which would render Toya powerless and result in Yue's destruction. However, her efforts in that direction prove futile and Toya eventually hands over his power to Yue. Ruby then gives up on her pursuit of Toya and returns to focus on helping Eriol as his guardian.

In the final confrontation with Sakura Kinomoto, Ruby Moon fights Yue in his true form. Although they fight evenly for most of the battle, Yue eventually proves to be more determined. After Yue and Cerberus successfully rush past Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun, Ruby Moon declares that she and Spinel are stronger in terms of power. Spinel responds in favor of Yue and Cerberus, saying "it must be the power of the heart that believes in their owner."

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Flight: Using her wings, she is capable of flying.

Crystal: Much like Yue, Ruby can create large red crystal which fly at the opponent with great speed and power.

Energy Manipulation: By forming energy around her hands, she can use them as blades.

[edit] Relationships

Toya: is constantly annoyed by her active interest in him, which takes the form of aggressive displays of affection. She has, on one occasion, jumped from the second story window to the ground floor, where Toya was, and landed on him to hug him. In fact, Toya has to physically shove her through the open door and slam it shut in order to give his powers to Yue.

Spinel: Ruby has a sort of sibling relationship with Eriol's other guardian, Spinel. She teases him constantly and gives him a nickname, which he detests.

Eriol: Just as Yue was to Clow, Ruby is fiercely loyal to her master, even comically pulling on his cheeks like an older relative.
