Ruby - character details

Ruby is quite a reserved character when it comes to showing her emotions. I thnk she is a very strong young woman and has had to almost disconnect herself from her emotional side after what she had to endure working for Jamie. She worked as a sniper for Jamie taking out anyone that was considered to be either a threat to Jamie's safe way of life or if they had disobeyed any of the rules. Ruby was trained to take them out quickly and quietly so was very well trained with a gun, making her an asset when joining the rebels. After being assigned her parents to assinate, for reasons unknown to her, I think she realised what she was actually part of and startyed to doubt Jamie's intentions, which made her decision to leave Jamie's team easier. 

Once part of the rebel team she became very close with Sam, the leader, and the rest of the team, especailly Spencer which we see a glimpse of in their date scene. I think she becomes more caring and compasionate, even though she may not show it. After the ordeal she went through with working for Jamie, she is really against killing when it is unnecessary so when Jeremy goes too far and kills the civilian Ruby gets upset and so goes to Spencer for comfort. At the end of the play when Sam kills everyone including Spencer, Ruby feels so distraught and betrayed by her I think a part of her old non-caring self comes out as she kills Jeremy and Sam. Hoping to leave all of this behind her she then becomes leader herself, trying to create a happy society where people are free to live how they want with none of the strict rules that Jamie had.
