Villain Ruby (AU or in Canon)?:
I know I'm already making a story about Villain Ruby in Rose of Light and Dark and Volume 9, but the concept of Ruby as a villain has become something of an obsession to me.
In stories I read, Ruby as a villain is either a sadistic and psychopathic murder, a heartless criminal mastermind, a role swapped villain with either Roman or Cinder, an anti-heroic rogue character, a tragic soul fallen to darkness, betrayed and seeking revenge, or just a brainwashed servant of Salem or Cinder.
So, I'd like to hear what you guys think is a good concept for Ruby as a villain of her own choice, whether in canon, or a different universe. Not a anti-hero or vigilante. No brainwashing either, sorry if that's a buzzkill, but that seems to be an obvious choice you guys would go for.
This also goes for anyone making a story about Ruby as a villain (Minus me, obviously XD) or willing to use inspirations of other V Ruby stories.
Drawing inspiration of other fictional characters that are villains or descend into villainy is also allowed.
This will also include backstories and how your ideas of Ruby becomes a villain, how'd she become a villain, and why she became a villain. As well as what her motivations should be and what kind of villain would you be going for, and how much of a threat she would be to the cast.
Also, if you guys don't mind also explaining what your villain Ruby looks like for your ideas, I'd like to hear it, for I am a curious man when it comes to designs.
With that out of the way, go wild.
