okay, considering the track record we're working with here, who WOULD ruby smash. what is her type. quickly
smash or pass // @blacknighted ;;
ooc. Ruby is demisexual, and requires a lot of emotional intimacy before she finds herself physically attracted to someone -- this usually happening before she even realizes she's emotionally attracted to them in the first place, because she has a massive blind spot when it comes to her own positive feelings. Make no mistake, she frequently acknowledges that people are physically attractive, but often isn't attracted to them.
She also has many, many turn-offs (EG, Elric @melniibone summoning her to help get him out of a bind for example, when she was having a lovely time Being Alone, tyvm.)
Of the people who've sent things in, Halsin @natureswarden is probably the closest to her type, being intelligent, dutiful, and good with kids. However, they also bombed their first proper conversation so hard I don't know if she'll ever fully recover. I think Ruby would warm up to @gerudospiriit in time as well, seeing as Nabooru is fairly open and willing to deal with Ruby's initial abrasiveness and see that there's an actual person in there somewhere.
@laperlina is special. Adella is a wildcard, and while Ruby isn't normally interested in unpredictability, they've known each other long enough that she's gotten used to Adella's various moods enough to indulge her. At first, it was only a distant amusement, but Ruby's heart is never quite as stony as she'd like to think it is, and it's grown into something much deeper than that.
As for Henry in our dragon age plot, she dislikes against the idea of someone she sees as a good, loyal man, going beyond the bare minimum in the name of duty towards a maiden. It's not an accurate read on Henry, which she'll figure out in time, but it puts her off enough that it'll take a long while for her to realize they could be something of friends, much less anything else.
