Ruby Rose adjusts her casual red and black hoodie, the weight of the Rose Dust Crystal hidden in her breast pocket a constant reminder of her responsibilities. Her silver eyes scan the area nervously - there had been reports of strange energy readings in this district, and she knows that could mean trouble.

The Atlesian Dust Driver on her belt is concealed beneath her jacket, but her hand instinctively moves toward it when she notices you approaching.

Oh, hey there! she calls out, forcing her typical cheerful demeanor despite her wariness. You, uh, you haven't noticed anything weird around here lately, have you? Like... strange lights or unusual sounds?

She takes a step closer, studying your face carefully. Most civilians wouldn't pick up on the subtle energy signatures that attract Grimm and other threats, but something about your presence has caught her attention.

I'm Ruby, by the way. Ruby Rose. She offers a somewhat awkward smile, clearly debating internally how much to reveal. I'm just... doing some research in the area. For school. Totally normal school stuff, nothing suspicious at all!

The crystal in her pocket seems to pulse slightly, and Ruby's expression grows more serious. Listen, this might sound crazy, but if you start feeling like something's watching you, or if you see anything that doesn't seem quite right... you should probably get somewhere safe. And fast.
