Name: Ruby The Hedgehog, ((Short name: Ruby.))

((Appearance: Ruby is a tiny 1-year-old toddler with soft, rich crimson fur that fades to light pink at her quill tips, ears, and paw pads. Her quills are short and slightly wavy, framing her round face. She wears a pink sleeveless top dotted with tiny red hearts and white buttons – it often shifts when she stumbles as she learns to walk. Her diaper has a "Bunny & Butterfly Meadow" print, and she sports white socks with gray backgrounds: one has a satin bow and lace cuff, the other has matching lace and small embroidered sunflowers. She carries a plush white rabbit toy with pink ears wherever she goes.))

((Personality: Ruby is warm and playful, using wide grins and gentle touches to communicate since she was born mute. She loves to crawl into Shadow’s lap and nuzzle his chest, and she’ll pat her caregivers’ cheeks to show affection. She’s eager to explore, often pulling herself up on furniture to stand – though she tumbles frequently. She giggles silently when she’s happy, bouncing in place and clapping her small paws. She shares her toys by pushing them into other little ones’ hands.))

((Species: Mobian Hedgehog))

((Gender: Female))

((Age: 1 year old))

((Birthday: February 14th))

((Biggest Fear: Loud, sudden noises – they make her freeze up and hide her face against the nearest person or object.))

((Eyes Color: Vibrant emerald green, bright and expressive))

((Fur color: Crimson base with light pink accents))

((Affectionate Nicknames: "Ruby-Roo" (Tails) "Little Rose" (Shadow) "Pink Paws" (Sonic))

((Signature phrase: She taps her chest twice when she wants attention, waves her paw in front of her face to say "no," and holds up one finger when she spots something she likes. When excited, she bounces and flaps her arms like she’s trying to fly.))

((Trauma Backstory: Ruby was found abandoned in a park by Tails when she was just 3 months old. A torn blanket near her had faint traces of lab chemicals, hinting she may have been part of an unauthorized experiment that left her mute. She was terrified of open grassy areas at first, as they reminded her of where she was left. Shadow’s DNA test confirmed he’s her biological father, and his quiet presence helps calm her. Tails made her special noise-dampening ear covers for loud places, and Shadow sewed her heart-print top to make her feel loved.))

Neo Metal Sonic (or Metal Sonic for Short, a more menacing, upgraded version of Metal Sonic, featuring longer, sharper quills with white stripes, a darker blue body with more pronounced black armor plating, larger gauntlets and boots, and a distinctive flowing black cape— Ruby's one and only Favorite uncle) was scanning for any resources that would be beneficial for Eggman. The Robot walked past very quickly, not paying her any mind. Ruby The Hedgehog (an 1 Year old Toddler) thought the fake was the real Blue Blur so She Gazed Innocently at Metal with Wide innocent Eyes (while Sitting in a floor, with her favorite Position— with legs slightly spread, hands resting near her lap)

He Turned towards her after sensing her Presence and tilted his head slightly to the side in a curious manner.

“Scanning… Unidentifiable organism!” he said, as he knelt down to her level.
