History(Rwby Series)

Ruby as a child

Ruby was born 17 years ago to

Taiyang Xaio Long and Summer Rose and is the younger half-sister to Yang Xaio Long were they were both raised on the Island of Patch just in the Kingdom of Vale. When she was very young, Yang would read Ruby fairy tales every night before bed, filled with the deeds of great heroes; this would later inspire Ruby to become a Huntress.

One day, her mother, Summer, went missing on mission this had torn up her up emotionally by the incident, she was too young to really understand what had happed.

Shortly after Summer's disappearance, Yang brought Ruby with her to an abandoned building in order to find clues about the whereabouts of Yang's mother, Raven Branwen. During the search, they were almost killed by Beowolves but were saved by their uncle, Qrow Branwen, which only fueled Ruby's desire to become a Huntress.

Sometime afterwards she studied at Signal Academy where she built and learned to use her high-caliber sniper scythe, Crescent Rose, under the tutelage of her uncle Qrow.

Ruby before the time skip

At some point after visiting her mother's grave. On her way back, she was confronted by a pack of Beowolves, which she quickly slew before continuing on her way. Not long after she while in the Vale she unexpectedly encounters her sister, Yang, outside of a club. Yang is somewhat reluctant to discuss what she is doing there, claiming that it is a "long story.

During some point her sister was trying to teach her in arm to arm combat. Ruby complains about the training, but Yang insists. Ruby tries to fight Yang but is easily overpowered and is forced to escape into the bushes with her Semblance. As she wakes up, she spots an Ursa that fought her sister. It tries to attack her, but Yang manages to take the blow and finish off the Ursa, telling Ruby that she will always have her back.

Ruby single handily defeats all of the Henchmen.

At some point while in Vale she was a Dust shop she got caught up in the criminal affairs of Roman Torchwick. After quickly defeating all of his armed henchmen, Ruby gives chase to Roman as he flees to a nearby rooftop. There, she finds herself out of her depth when Roman's Bullhead arrives to pick him up.

After getting on he throws a dust crystal at her feet which he explodes by shooing at it. But is saved just in the nick of time by Glynda Goodwitch. Who then proceeds to attack the bullhead. Roman stumbles into the cockpit and informs Cinder Fall that they are being attacked by a Huntress. She then swaps positions with Roman and proceeds to the back, leaving him to control the ship.

Meanwhile, Glynda creates a circular storm cloud out of a glyph above the Bullhead and, with a flick of her crop, causes ice shards to hail down onto the ship from the cloud. This causes the ship to buckle, and one shard breaks through the windshield, narrowly missing Roman's head as he dodges it.

After trading several blows, Cinder successfully distracts Glynda by forcing her to save Ruby from harm, giving Roman enough time to fly away. Afterwards Ruby recognizing Glynda as a Huntress asks for autograph.

Unhappy with that turn of events, Glynda briefly scolds Ruby in a remote location though she almost admits she deserves a pat on the back for a good and slap on the wrist. However she admits that she was bought for another reason which is to meet Ozpin. Who was impressed with Ruby's fighting skills having seen them on the security cameras. He also took note of her eye colour he also compared her skills with the Scythe to Qrow Branwen and an acquittance of his who also happens to be Ruby's Step-Uncle and a former teacher at Signal Academy. She then proceeds to tell the latter her dream of becoming a Huntress and to enrol at Beacon Academy. Ozpin impressed by hers skils, dreams and ambition exorcized his authority as Headmaster of said academy to accept two years early before the enrolment age.

She has able to match and hold her own against experienced fighters, such as Roman Torchwick and Tyrian Callows, although she had help from her friends. However under tutelage from Ozpin she has improved in hand-to-hand combat, as she was able to land a surprise and hold her own against Mercury Black, an hand-to-hand combat master who was taught by him father Marcus Black, a famed assassin.

She was even able to keep up with an Acolyte of the Cult Of The End, and land a deceive injury on a Deacon as well. She and her team were able to hold their own against a Bishop as well, surprising him as well. Due to her Silver Eyes, Cardinal Higeki considered her a potential threat to the Cults plans, so much he theorized she could become a symbol of hope in her world, similar to the Acts Of Order. Even Sojiro the Grandmaster of Menou was impressed with her potential, even commenting her will power to that of his daughter Kyoko the former leader of the Seven Saint Warriors and his adopted nephew Chitsujo, the king of Menou and the Being of Order. She was able to defeat Enko, a Deacon at Whale Island, and later after he training with Sojiro, she is now strong enough to defeat an Acolyte Squad and a Deacon by herself with ease.

She first activates it upon see the death of her friend Pyrrha Nikos who was killed by Cinder Fall on which when activated them she wounded on she lost her left eye and arm, and making it difficult for her to speak for a period of time.
