Ruby

Note: Ruby was only transported to Equestria in the Merging Universe.

Ruby is a former human who was transported to the Animalia Dimension through a tear in time and space. She appeared in the lands of Equestria, and upon doing so conformed to the rules of dimensions and turned into a diamond dog. At some point she had a daughter she named Terra. She was formerly a college-level student living on 22nd century Earth, and possesses a genius-level intellect. She puts this to good use, discovering the existence of magic-absorbing gems and using them to create advanced magical technology. Using her skills she became head of the diamond dogs, uniting them under one flag. She and her army were influential in the war against Malevolence and her cohorts, ultimately aiding in defeating them.

Personality
Ruby is highly intelligent and even more manipulative. She will do almost anything - upright or dirty - to get what she wants. All the same, she's generally a nice enough person. That is, unless someone gets on her bad side. She's very charismatic, capable of charming her followers and manipulating them to her whim. She is also a very inspiring figure, and has been shown to effortlessly boost her men's morale.

Biography
==Abilities ==

===Mental === Ruby is a genius, and lived in a time period in which human technology was at a very advanced level. As such, she is intelligent enough to build many types of technology from memory, and is capable of pioneering her own theories - often putting them into real practice.

===Magical === Being not only a former human, but also a diamond dog, Ruby has no innate control over magic. However, she quickly figured out that catalysts - most notably magic gems - were capable of holding magical energy, which can then be controlled by the wielder of the catalyst. Because of this discovery, Ruby has created and wields some very devastating magical technology.

===Physical === Having been more intellectual than physically capable, Ruby isn't in very good shape. Still, she exercised regularly and had a healthy diet, so she is in average physical shape.
