====== Ruby Halfskin ======

Ruby was born in a warm earthen den that smelled of pine needles somewhere north of Acryn. A born werewolf, she led a boisterous life with her pack before cockily setting out to fulfil her curiosity for new experiences. She ran with a pack of true wolves for a time, but after uncounted seasons drifted by, she decided to taste the less harmonious society of humans. For some reason she settled on the life of an Alchemist to achieve this. Her curiosity took an unfortunate turn for the worst after lengthy research culminated in the consumption of a potion meant to gift greater understanding of human psychology. This painfully destroyed her ability to change back into a wolf. Trapped in only half of her form, she is now forced to spend her days exclusively amongst humans. She supposes the potion, ironically, half-worked.

She has no problems with human emotions and relationships; it is the artificial fabrications of manner, metaphor and etiquette which confound her.

She has a large mass of dark hair and poor taste in bracelets.

As of [[resources:adventure:Bad_Romance|Bad Romance]], she has taken to clearly labelling her mundane healing potions, in case some fool girl pours an Eye of the Storm down her throat again.

**Epic Trees**\\
As of [[resources:adventure:Tower_of_Ceciline]]: [[:/epic_trees#the_fair_folk|The Fair Folk]]:\\
You have bonded yourself to a reality which was never meant to be, attempting to become people who should never have existed. You do not belong, you stand separate from reality. Any entity which has the ability to distinguish that something does not belong or is a threat to the consensus, will you see you as such. In any encounter where you use an active ability you gain the following roleplay effect: you are greater and more powerful than others, your desires are more important than others, yours is the right to control and influence reality itself.\\
