She ain't out to get you
But she's better on your side

Personality:
Ruby is a confident and brave girl, with no inhibitions. She lives unapologetic-ally, and it's often 'Her way or the highway' - unless she can get something better from the deal. A lack of boundaries at home often means she gets away with everything which has led her to believe that she can do anything, that she deserves everything she wants, and that everything she does is the best. Ruby loves adventures. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, who she will often treat like siblings - she can mess with them, and fight with them, but Merlin help those who try to do the same.

Personality Type: ESTP - A
Energetic. Living Life on the Edge.
Entrepreneurs are the likeliest personality type to make a lifestyle of risky behavior. They live in the moment and dive into the action – they are the eye of the storm. People with the Entrepreneur personality type enjoy drama, passion, and pleasure, not for emotional thrills, but because it’s so stimulating to their logical minds.
Also challenging is that to Entrepreneurs, it makes more sense to use their own moral compass than someone else’s. Rules were made to be broken.

Likes:
Water - Whether it's being in the water, or being on it, Ruby loves it. Swimming is on of Ruby's all time favorite activities.

Adventures - It can be a midnight rendezvous to the kitchen or hiking to the summit of a mountain keen for it.

Nature - As above with adventures and water, Ruby loves to be outdoors. She finds nature incredibly beautiful and magical, and often goes camping just to be in nature.

Dislikes:
Structure - "ReSpOnSiBiLiTy" as Ruby likes to write it. Having to stick to certain things every single day, or making sure something is looked after every day is incredibly tedious and boring.

Dishonesty - To a point, Ruby doesn't see much reason for lying. She is honest and doesn't sugar coat things - what a waste of time! However, she can see the benefits of white lies to manipulate her way to getting something.

Sleeping - Another waste of time. Obviously sleep is needed, and Ruby is a grumpy toddler when she is tired, but why sleep when you can run!

Fears and Phobias:
Ruby has a fear of being disliked by the ones she loves. Although she can be pushy and wants things done her way, she wouldn't know how to deal with a loved one being upset with her.

Unbeknowst to her, Ruby is fearful that she isn't going to live a fulfilling life.

Strengths:
Bold - Ruby is full of life, energy and finds no greater joy than to push boundaries.
Direct - Things are what they are; Ruby doesn't often beat around the bush.
Greagarious - Ruby loves to talk to people, and will happily engage in most types of conversation.

Weaknesses:
Impatient - Ruby hates to wait for things, and wants absolutely everything right now.
Risk - Prone - Not entirely clumsy, but Ruby will go into something 100% without thinking about any short or long term consequences.
Defiant - Ruby hates to be boxed in. Rules, structure, repetition are just a few things that Ruby dislikes and would rather be free to do what she wants.

Pet Peeves:
Having to stand in a queue!
Scraping silverware.
Slow walkers/movers.

Virtue:
Diligence;
When you're confronted with a problem or a difficult task, you don't give up until you succeed. Failure never stops you in your tracks. You are extremely persistent and you encourage others to work hard, too.

Vice:
Pride;
You feel deep satisfaction and pleasure at your own achievements. You have an incredibly high opinion of your ability.

Motivations:
Ruby is constantly motivated by the thrill of life. She wants to have fun, and do whatever she feels like in the moment. Ruby wants to go on adventures, find new things, and be doing something all the time.

Goals and Ambitions:
Ruby envisions herself doing some sort of outdoorsy job, something that was different every day and is always exciting.

Favorite Colour:
It used to be pink - now it's red, purely because it's the color of her House.

Least Favourite Colour:
Ruby doesn't have an intense dislike for any particular colour; it's all dependent on the situation - she would wear black, and have a black sofa, but wouldn't paint her walls black.

Favourite Season:
Summer!

Taste in Music:
Ruby likes anything upbeat and fun - she enjoys House music.

Talents/Skills:
Ruby is pretty talented at flying and swimming.

Love Style:
Mania​

This refers to an obsessive love style. These individuals tend to be emotionally dependent and to need fairly constant reassurance in a relationship. Someone with this love style is likely to experience peaks of joy and troughs of sorrow, depending on the extent to which their partner can accommodate their needs. Because of the possessiveness associated with this style, jealousy can be an issue for these individuals. (From The Conversation)

She don't wanna be anybody else
She's a Woman In Total Control Of Herself

Mother and Relationship:
Ruby's egg was kindly and anonymously donated.

Father and Relationship:
Ruby's biological father, Andre Louw is the more serious father. While they both love each other dearly, they only have a few things in common - Andre is more business and house-care focused, and will stay home to look after both while Izaak and Ruby go on their adventures. Andre is much more likely to say yes to Ruby though, so he is often the one Ruby will go to if she wants something.

Father and Relationship:
While Izaak Louw (nee Olivier) is not Ruby's biological father, you wouldn't be able to tell. Ruby and Izaak are incredibly close, and Ruby knows she can go to him for and about anything. He's a bit more strict with her, and doesn't always let her get away with everything. Izaak is the one who will usually take Ruby on adventures, hikes and trails.

Siblings and Other Family Members:
Lee Louw - Uncle
Annabelle Louw (nee Fourie) - Aunt
Analei Westwick (nee Louw) - Cousin

It's such a wonder to be under her spell
What a Woman In Total Control Of Herself

Patronus: Peacock; Those with the peacock personality are natural socialites. They like to have fun and create a happy environment. They relish turning things into a big event. They are the life of a party and are comfortable with being the centre of attention. They handle chaos well. However, they are not great listeners. They can be disorganised because of their inability to concentrate on details. The peacock’s greatest value is fun. Peacock: motivator, entertainer, colourful, exciting, quick-witted, fun and adventurous.

Patronus Memory: Lying under the stars with her dads, seeing a couple of shooting stars in one night.

Animagus: West Highland Terrier; Westies are typical terriers. They are smart, independent, and a little stubborn. Obviously they are tough, determined little dogs to be willing to go underground after a fox or badger. This can make them of a handful to train, and much patience and firmness is in order. They are lively and fun dogs but do not always feel the need for human direction. As befits their heritage, they have a tendency to be nuisance barkers and serious diggers.

Boggart: A desk and chair - to represent having a 'desk job' or lack of freedom and ability to move.

Blood Status: Mixed Blood

Wand and Description:
Curly 9 Inch Flexible Ash Wand with Erumpent Hide Core
Length: On the shorter side of things, this wand offers excellent control and aim - easily an extension of one's own arm.
Style: Great care was taken in crafting this wand's wood to spiral to its point, giving it a beautiful aesthetic quality.
Wood: 'Ash is Stubborn,' as the saying goes. Ash wands bond to their owner and do not do well in the hands of others. The master of an Ashen wand may well be stubborn, but arrogance and pride will be met with a wand that is even more stubborn than the wizard!
Core: Erumpent hide cores help to create unstable and unreliable wands. It tends to add quite the punch to spells, making them more powerful than they should be at the most inopportune of moments.
Flexibility: Flexible: Not easily broken, this wand performs under strenuous circumstances with little effort - though how well it performs is ultimately up to its weilder.

Hogwarts House and Feelings:
Ruby was sorted into Gryffindor. She was incredibly excited to be sorted into it, and likes (most) of the people that are there too.

Zodiac: Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21); Scorpio is the eighth house of the Zodiac and governs the genitalia. Positive traits include magnetic charisma, ambition, drive, a penetrating mind, curiosity, intensity of focus, emotional depth, consistency, persistence, willpower, and the potential for inner transformation and regeneration; negative traits include selfishness, obsessiveness, vindictiveness, hypersensitivity, ruthlessness, cynicism, an inability to understand the word "moderation," and jealousy. It is said that Scorpios embody both the best and the worst of all that are born under the stars, and that there are three kinds of Scorpios: wicked scorpions, cunning serpents, and saintly eagle

Element: Water.
