Story
Ruby is a novice fortuneteller, she tries her best to become as good as her elder sister Sapphire. One day her sister does a reading to a man from the knighthood and sees a terryfying vision which leads to her falling unconcious. Ruby decides that she has to do the readings for her sister to prevent the shop from bankruptcy. She makes inaccurate readings for a few people, but she's so determined to get the readings right that she runs off to "make them right", forcing her friend Hiro into assisting her (much to his dismay). After this succeeds once, she tries it again with a a strange adventurer, however it all ends badly and the man discovers it was all a hoax. He appears to not be too angry and wishes to meet Sapphire, where he tells Ruby's sister that it's her destiny to see The Seven Wonders. Ruby insists on going with the two and Hiro later also follows.

After visiting Torle, Ruby can go to any of the Seven Wonders in any order, with the exception of The Hanging Garden, which has to remain the last one to visit.

Battle
In terms of stats, Ruby can go in any direction, whether it be competent Mage, decent Dagger/Bow/Gun-user, or pure Strength. You could also try to balance all these aspects, however, she lacks a specific specialty. She is also one of only two characters (the other being Sapphire) who comes equipped with a Corundum Ring. This allows Ruby, or another Party member, to gain a very powerful weapon early in the game (Bliq) if the Ring is used as a Blacksmithing base with another Corundum Ring of opposite element.

Trivia

 * Ruby encounters a lot of characters from several scenarios, even if they are not really involved in her own plot. This doesn't only cover Michelle, but also villains such as Basil Galeos, Kalandorn Alovi, Dagul Bos and many other villains.
 * The story greatly hints at Ruby being the second coming of the Great Witch Alyce Ambrosia, which is explored in a dream which she is awoken from by Hiro. This may explain why she is able to enter the usually isolated Undercity Pharos, though Iskandar may also have a hand in it.
 * Ruby's potential past may also explain why Iskander joins the party so quickly. His purpose may be to watch over the new "Alyce" and guide her to an undisclosed destiny.
