character

Ruby

Ruby is a young changeling orphan with compression sickness whom Mordecai secretly protects by hiring as a saferoom attendant.

Story so far

Ruby is a changeling child the party met on the fifth floor during the camel and changeling storyline. Compression sickness leaves every form incomplete; in human shape she has no arms and a sunken head.

When surviving changelings gathered for the assault on the High Elf castle, Mordecai judged that Ruby and the most vulnerable children would not survive the coming fight. He secretly moved them into the available attendant slots instead.

A custom game controller split into two angled floor pieces with a small pillow reveals that Ruby is living in the saferoom and playing with the other rescued changelings.

Appearance

A small armless changeling girl with a sunken head seated before a two-piece floor controller.

Role

Ruby is the clearest beneficiary of Mordecai's unauthorized but life-saving attendant decision.

Relationships

Mordecai — He secretly hires her as an attendant to save her life.
Carl — He recognizes that protecting her was the right choice.
Changeling Attendants — She is one of six vulnerable changelings hidden in the saferoom.
