OVA
Description
Magical Ruby, a sentient Kaleidostick-type Mystic Code forged by Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, facilitates magical girl transformations. Originally bound to Rin Tohsaka, it deserts her amid her rivalry with Luvia Edelfelt, shifting allegiance to Illyasviel von Einzbern. Its form mimics a toy wand: a yellow star encircled by a ring, two red beads, six tapered white wings, and a retractable red handle concealed when dormant.
Ruby delights in playful cruelty, taunting users while relishing their distress, yet remains fiercely protective of Illya, cautioning against power overuse and steering conflicts to shield her. It engineers a three-step contract by exploiting Illya’s innocence, nudges her with questionable tactics to pursue Shirou’s affection, and needles her about bonds with Miyu Edelfelt and Chloe.
In *Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA*, Ruby’s desertion of Rin and Luvia propels Illya into hunting Heroic Spirit-infused Class Cards. It unlocks the Mana Plane for boundless prana and card installations to channel Servant abilities. Partnering with its sister Kaleidostick, Magical Sapphire, triggers a fusion into the "Zwei" form—amplifying power at Illya’s physical expense.
Trapped alongside Rin and Shirou in Zelretch’s Treasure Chest during *Fate/hollow ataraxia*, Ruby morphs Rin into "Kaleido Ruby," culminating in embarrassment when her magical girl attire is exposed. This mirrors past incidents where Ruby hijacked Rin’s autonomy, isolating her socially.
The *Fate/Grand Order* event "Prisma Causeway" sees Ruby guiding Illya and Miyu through the First Lady’s Reality Marble. Evading Connacht ☆ Medb’s assaults, it assists in skirmishes against Nursery ☆ Rhyme and Medea, dissects Mash Kyrielight’s Shielder-class potential for magical girlhood, and harvests emotion jewels to fracture dimensional barriers—showcasing strategic cunning amid sarcastic quips.
Though disdainful of creator Zelretch, Ruby follows his overarching mandates. Its rapport with Sapphire wavers between sibling friction and unity during shared crises. Despite manipulative streaks, Ruby’s schemes invariably prioritize Illya’s survival, even through unconventional means.
