Hi! Hello! Are you adventurers? Let me come along! Pretty please?

Summary


When one thinks of a fiend, a denizen of the lower planes, they likely imagine devils bathed in flame or demons dripping with poison. One probably wouldn't immediately think of a small cat-eared girl, and yet that's exactly what Ruby is. Once a mortal child, cruelly killed by her cultist parents as a sacrifice before they managed to call the wrong fiends to the party. Curiously, a demon and a devil answered the call, and after slaughtering Ruby's parents for dialing the wrong numbers the two surprisingly took pity on the poor dead girl. Taking Ruby under their wings, she was given a second chance at life. Or unlife. She was sacrificed and turned into a fiend after all.

Ruby is now practicing as a cleric of soul snatching and death under her two fiendish fathers, Niko and Dante. She is still very young and has a lot to learn about the general inner workings of the lower planes, but what she lacks in experience she makes up in just being so damn adorable even the most evil creatures hesitate to actually harm her. That and the threat of being smited by a minor demon lord and Asmodeus's left hand man if someone so much as scrapes her. She gets her experience in a very hands-on kind of way: tagging along with unsuspecting adventuring groups, saying pretty please, and collecting the souls of those she and the party slays to return to her parents.

Personality


Ruby herself is, for all intents and purposes, actually a fairly normal little girl. She's bouncy and very friendly to others, and doesn't really grasp the concept of danger and death, at least when it's happening to her. You can't really expect a being who simply gets blipped back home when killed to understand that stepping into the trapped room is probably a bad idea. She's the also kind of girl to decapitate all her dolls and stage executions with her stuffed animals. You know, normal young girl behavior. She is surprisingly intelligent for her supposed age, whether that's thanks to her becoming a fiend or just because she might be older than she looks is unknown. She also has a knack for being rather manipulative, getting her way and getting what she wants by blinking real cutely and saying pretty please. It works shockingly well, as even the most hardened of folk will stop for a second to at least consider giving her an extra scoop of ice cream or letting her kill just one more "bad guy" for another soul. Her seemingly harmless demeanor and appearance is her greatest strength. You wouldn't question a lil catgirl like her, would you?

Design notes


  • Legs are furred and has paws, not feet
  • Paws and lower leg fur are pretty much permanently bloodstained
  • Slit pupils! Her eyes are much like a cat's
  • Her chest wound is always fresh and bleeding at least a little bit. It doesn't hurt her or cause any discomfort, but it does usually lead to all of her shirts and dresses being stained.
