OVA
Description
Ruby is a female Japanese hare Jewelpet with white fur, pink inner ears, and distinctive ruby jewel eyes. Her appearance consistently features a pink pearl necklace with cherry-shaped pendants and a pink cherry blossom flower accessory on her left ear.
In *Jewelpet Twinkle☆*, Ruby serves as the primary partner to human protagonist Akari Sakura. As a new student at Jewel Land's Magic Academy traveling to the human world seeking a partner, Ruby forges a bond with Akari after empathizing with her shyness and social anxieties. She provides emotional support, encouraging Akari's growth as a magician and manga artist, and later becomes a protective older sister figure to Labra, Akari's secondary Jewelpet partner.
Within the OVA *A Rainbow of Smiles Doki☆Doki!*, Ruby senses Akari's emotional distress from Jewel Land a year after the Jewel Star Grand Prix. She collaborates with Diana to project comforting images of Akari and Alma, demonstrating their enduring connection. Witnessing a rainbow phenomenon symbolizing the protagonists' happiness, Ruby reaffirms her belief in eventually reuniting with Akari while continuing the quest for the Flower of Happiness alongside Diana and Opal.
Ruby's personality exhibits variations across the franchise. *Jewelpet Sunshine* pairs her with Kanon; their competitive dynamic around mutual crushes results in less airheadedness, though they develop trust. *Jewelpet Kira☆Deco!* depicts her as the carefree owner of the Kira-Kira Shop, assisting Pink in collecting Deco Stones. Partnering with Chiari at the Jewelpet Café Happiness in *Jewelpet Happiness*, she helps locate Magic Gems. *Lady Jewelpet* positions her as an optimistic mentor to Momona, often misinterpreting criticism as praise. Later series like *Jewelpet Magical Change* and its spin-off feature her partnering with Airi in ensemble adventures.
Her magical abilities center on luck and courage enhancement. Early portrayals highlight an initially low 1% success rate, frequently causing explosive mishaps. Progression occurs through understanding different forms of courage, enabling class ascension and temporary power boosts. Signature spells include "Ruby Jewel Flash" and group incantations like "Puripuru Puropuru Puriphony!" for Jewelpet summoning.
Ruby maintains continuity as a mascot character throughout the franchise, appearing in every main series from 2009 to 2015. She embodies consistent core traits of optimism and loyalty while adapting to narrative-specific roles and relationships.
