Ruby Diorite

"That smile... It was aimed at me... It was a common smile, but it's faded... How did she become so obsessed with those pathetic inklings anyway? No. She should be come and... *sighs at the realisation* be miserable for the rest of her life... *sighs* No. I am not hunting Samuel, or the rest of that group. They did nothing wrong. I’m done being a heartless mercenary."

- Ruby realising she was wrong and decides to reform.

"I guess I had some value after all..."

- Ruby after she sacrifices herself, and seconds before she hits the water. "I work day and night to make sure everyone is safe."

- Ruby’s message in the ending book, sourced from Natalie.

Ruby Diorite is the tritagonist of the Inkopolis Chaos trilogy. She served as the secondary antagonist turned major character of Inkopolis Chaos, one of the two tritagonists of Inkopolis Chaos 2 and one of the three deuteragonists of Inkopolis Chaos 3. She is an experienced long term octoling soldier/spy who is extremely overprotective of octolings. She wanted them to be separate from inklings, as she thought they were dangerous and evil. However, she ended up taking this all too far, and when she realised it, she was very remorseful for her actions, and decided to redeem herself.

She also returns in the following oneshots: “A Burden To Bear”.

Personality
At the start, Ruby acts rather cold and insensitive. She has her delusional beliefs of inklings and octolings having to stay separated, and will do anything to keep it like that. She goes too far, and ends up trying to separate Samuel from Natalie out of paranoia. She even attaches a tracker to Natalies hoodie (which helps them in the long run as she was able to find her when she and Samuel were dangling off a cliff).

Later, when she changes, she becomes protective of everyone, and fulfills her new mission to the end, which is protecting them. Even a year later, she is still dedicated to helping out, saving Melissa from being captured by Octobusters, and convincing her into trusting octolings. Deep down, she has quite a lot of mental issues, all coming from her times as an antagonist, and when she killed Cyalux’s Brother, Magentark Clover. Both of these really damaged her mental state, but she was very good at hiding it for a while. She tries to keep her issues private, however, as she doesn’t want others to lose hope. She ended up having a breakdown in front of Melissa, and revealed that she had very low self esteem, and how she felt like a monster. It’s sad really, considering all the good things she’s done, she still views herself as a monster.

Overall, Ruby is a loyal octoling who seems cold, but is a good person deep down, and always makes sure everyone’s safe. Ruby also claims she isn’t very good with kids, but she actually seems to handle them well, as she was good with a young Natalie. She is very selfless, as shown by her willingly giving up her life to save Jade.

Trivia

 * She is implied to be highly intelligent. It is confirmed that in this fanfic, DJ Octavio brainwashes soldiers if they don’t willingly join. While Ruby willingly joined, and brainwashing might be on and off, she probably would’ve been brainwashed the moment she had a change of heart, showing she was most likely smart enough to disable brainwashing on her goggles.
