Name: Ruby Bloodstone (nicknamed "Blood")

District: 1

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Personality: Ruby is, no doubt, a freak. She scares people out of their wits and many people tend to avoid her. She is a mental psychopath, although she often doesn't realize what she's doing until someone has been injured, murder has been committed, etc. In other words, she knows she's crazy, she just doesn't realize it until the last minute. Even though she's psychotic, Ruby is very smart and she does in fact try to be kind to others, but she always leaves the wrong impression. She doesn't care, though. All her life she's been sort of a loner, and she's used to having no friends. She used to talk to herself because there was no one else around to talk to besides her parents, but she learned to keep her words inside her head, which would come in handy in the Games since she wouldn't want anyone else to know of the wild, crazy plans she comes up with. She volunteers for the Games, not really because she wants the money. Her hands are always itching to wrap themselves around some type of blade or a spear, so that she can slash, strike, and throw, and watch with satisfaction as her weapon pierces through the flesh of another tribute and thick, crimson blood slowly pours out of their body. She loves the scent and the sight of blood, which is why she nicknamed herself after that words. People of her district thought she was insane for giving herself a nickname like that - lots of tributes in District 2 are indeed killers that want to volunteer, but none of them are as crazy as Ruby. However, after a while, they began to call her "Blood" often, though her general name that she goes by still remains as Ruby. To sum this all up, Ruby is a murderous psychopath that can't be trusted whatsoever, but if you're her ally, she'll wait you out until just the right moment...

Backstory: Ruby's older brother, Hayden, volunteered for the Hunger Games when she was just three years old. She barely remembers him, but his death on TV that she managed to catch a glimpse of remains in her mind, as clear as if it had happened yesterday. It had came down to the final three, and Hayden was pierced in the heart by his district partner. His death was unexpected, and even though Ruby was way too young to understand the concept of the Hunger Games at this time, she still thought she should feel surprised since her parents let out loud gasps from where they sat on the couch. Ruby went back into her room, and a few minutes later, her parents walked in there, crying, and started hugging her. As Ruby grew, her parents allowed her to watch more and more scenes of the Hunger Games until she was old enough to watch the goriest deaths. It excited her - she didn't understand why her parents always seemed so worried when someone fell to the ground and their cannon fired. Ruby was quited interested in the Hunger Games, and she trained nonstop all day long when she wasn't at school once she was able to. After her first reaping, she went to her parents and told them that she wanted to volunteer for the Hunger Games soon. They yelled at her and begged her not to - her mother actually got down on her knees and begged her. Ruby asked them what was wrong, and her father reminded her of her brother's death. They said that they didn't want the same thing to happen to her. Ruby just scowled at them and growled, "So you think I won't be able to win, huh? Well, I'll show you. I'm going to volunteer." Ever since that argument, she hasn't been to her house once, only to sleep each night. Then she's gone the next morning and all through the day, training her butt off so that she'll be more than ready when she volunteers for the Hunger Games. She's taught herself so many things, and she's confident she'll be able to win. She thinks that when she wins, she can come home and laugh in her parent's faces for not believing in her. This is what has driven her mad - desperate to prove them wrong.

Appearance: I'll post the lunaii in a moment.

Weapon: Ruby can pretty much wield any type of blade, ranging from bigger, heavier swords to tiny yet deadly daggers. However, she favors the spear the most and can also use a mace.

Strengths: Ruby has the typical Career strengths; she's phsyically strong, fast, a strong swimmer, and intelligent. Unlike most Careers, however, Ruby knows how to identify plants, and being insane will allow her kills to be quick and gruesome.

Weaknesses: Ruby can't climb to save her life. She's afraid of heights, although she won't admit it to anybody. She's very stubborn and untrustworthy, and although her insanity is an advantage, it can also be a weakness for it can get her into lots of trouble. She's also a bit overconfident.

Fear: Heights

Bloodbath Strategy: When the gong sounds, Ruby will leap off her metal plate and race towards the Cornucopia as fast as she can, where she will grab her weapon of preference and start taking out tributes. She will kill them whether they come to her or she runs at them. By the end of the bloodbath, she expects to see limp bodies scattered around, their cannons firing.

Token: Ruby's token is a dark red bracelet with a golden knife inscription.

Alliance: Careers
