Profile

Introduction

She was a first year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School prior to its closure and is currently a second year student at Numazu High School, being temporarily integrated at Seishin High School before the former's opening. She is a member of CYaRon!, a sub-unit under Aqours. Her image color is pink.

Background

Ruby is a first year student who is the younger sister of Dia Kurosawa, who she shares a strong bond with. She is from an old family involved in fishing management whose name is well-known around the area. The Kurosawa family also owns a number of companies including real estate, entertainment, human resources and restaurant management. Ruby is almost always nearby her best friend, Hanamaru Kunikida.

In the anime, in the first episode, Ruby is shown to display a big interest in school idols. Season 1 Episode 4 shows that she used to be a fan of school idols, sharing this hobby with Dia, although something caused her older sister to seemingly lose that interest, which is revealed in Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9 to be Dia's failure as a school idol. Ruby's love for school idols remained intact, but the event made her secretly keep it away from her sister. She later joins Aqours in Season 1 Episode 4, after counting with her sister's support.

Personality

Ruby is very shy and timid, which makes it hard for her to get along with other people. She has a tendency to utter or scream "Pigii!!!" when she doesn't like something; in the event she screams, her face will turn red as she does so. She has never talked to any males besides her father before, so she has always been bad at dealing with the male gender. Although she is fearful and easily upset, she does has a tough interior forged by her role as the daughter of a rich, well-known family.

Ruby is very close to her friend, Hanamaru. She also meets Leah Kazuno in TOKYO, who she also becomes very close with.

From a different perspective, Ruby is adaptable and mostly admired by her friends, and they support her no matter what; despite the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Ruby does not have difficulty getting along with the rest of the group unlike her fellow First Years' or the Third Years', as seen in Season 2 Episode 2. Her catchphrase is "Ganbarubii!" (がんばルビィ！ lit. "Rubesty"), a portmanteau between "ganbaru" (頑張る try with full effort) and her own name; she uses this phrase to encourage herself or others to do their very best. Ruby also speaks in the third person from time to time, just like Hanamaru. However, she tends to use "watashi" as a first-person pronoun.

Due to the strong bond she shares with her sister Dia, Ruby will immediately display her tough interior and defend her sister when a negative point of her is brought up, as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. Ruby is also shown to have a playful and mischievous side of her when she teases Yoshiko Tsushima's Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (alongside Hanamaru), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She also despises spicy food, as seen in Season 1 Episode 10, when she eats a takoyaki filled with tabasco sauce instead of octopus sauce.

Hobbies

Her hobbies are needlework and fashion. Her talent is in coordinating outfits, which makes her, alongside You Watanabe, Aqours' wardrobe supervisor. Like her sister Dia, she displays an admiration for other idols, despite coming from a traditional family.

Appearance

Ruby is short with a slim figure and semi-long red hair which she ties into twintails and turquoise eyes.
