Overview

Ruby Pettigrew is the quick-witted, quicker-firing heart of Group Frostbourne. A half-orc gearslinger with a mind for invention and a spark of mischief, Ruby brings relentless optimism and battlefield ingenuity to every frozen step across Ellara. With a knack for turning scrap into solutions and pressure into performance, she’s more than earned her place on the team—and maybe even in history.

Beneath the flurry of bolts and banter is someone shaped by hardship, fiercely loyal to those she calls family. Her unshakable bond with Logrhyn Cragborn, her closest companion of five years, grounds her in the harsh world they navigate together.

Background

Ruby was born on the streets of Brightport, a city known for its shadows, deals, and dangerous ambitions. Her earliest years were spent in the Pettigrew Orphanage, a small, scrappy community of abandoned children who took care of each other when no one else would. In honor of that found family, they all took the shared surname “Pettigrew.”

As a child of Brightport, Ruby learned to survive through wit, speed, and clever hands. She scavenged, tinkered, and eventually created her signature wrist-mounted ballistas—lethal devices that pair mechanical precision with devastating efficiency. Her combat style is all momentum: fire, strike, duck, and hit again. It’s as much dance as it is war.

Personality

Ruby is a whirlwind of energy, sarcasm, and stubborn resilience. She wears her heart in a loose pocket and isn’t afraid to leap into danger with a grin. While she thrives in chaos, she’s far from careless—her observations are sharp, and her instincts are even sharper. She sees cracks in plans, opportunities in failure, and never misses a beat (or a bolt).

Though Ruby often laughs first and asks questions later, her loyalty runs deep. She considers Group Frostbourne her chosen family, and she would gladly stand in harm’s way for any of them. Her dynamic with Logrhyn is especially close—a mix of camaraderie, mutual trust, and quiet reliance that has grown over years of travel.

Notable Relationships

• Logrhyn Cragborn – Ruby’s longest-standing companion. Their five-year journey together forged a bond of mutual respect and practical affection.
• Nythera Rhyelith – Ruby often brings out Nythera’s softer side (whether the Elf admits it or not), and their banter masks a subtle trust.
• Chimera – Ruby delights in Chimera’s antics and chaos. Together, they form the party’s unofficial morale boosters… or instigators, depending on the day.

Signature Weaponry

• Wrist Ballistas – Compact, rapid-firing crossbow-like devices worn on each forearm. Ruby uses them to open combat at range, then follows with a flurry of agile, up-close strikes.
• Custom Tinker's Tools – Ruby’s personal kit includes tools modified for combat repairs, traps, and improvisational gadgetry.

Current Whereabouts

Ruby is currently adventuring with Group Frostbourne, based out of Winterhaven and traversing the frost-covered wilds of Ellara in 1378 AEC. Whether fighting dire wolves or outsmarting smugglers, she faces every new challenge with grit, laughter, and a well-placed bolt.
