Story
Before Ruby Gloom was the happiest girl in the world, she was simply a young, spoiled girl who was the daughter of the Gloom family, the wealthiest family in all of Gloomsville and the descendants of the town's founders. After Ruby's parents, Arthur and Victoria Gloom, died just 4 months after her 5th birthday, Ruby, who is now 9 years old, was to be bequeathed the Manor, the estate and their fortune in 5 days as heiress to the Gloom fortune. Ruby is happy about this, since she is already thinking about what to do with the money, which is to waste it unmercifully on expensive and flashy stuff and not use it to provide a good service to the people of Gloomsville like a good heiress would. However, Ruby's cruel and greedy aunt and uncle, Eliza and Archibald, are outraged and upsetted by her inheritance, since they don't think a brat like her should be worthy of a massive fortune, and that the fortune and the estate should belong to them, because they believed that they are considered more worthy of the money than Ruby…and because they desire to use the fortune to destroy every child-care facility in Gloomsville and replace them with authoritarian reform schools, so that children can be harshly and mercilessly disciplined and controlled and grown up into polite, mild-mannered people. Determined to get the fortune to achieve that goal, Eliza and Archibald killed Ruby by poisoning her juice during dinner and then dumped her body in the river. But what they didn't count on is that Ruby was holding her human-sized toy ragdoll around the time of her death. After Eliza and Archibald returned to the Manor, Ruby's spirit possessed the abandoned doll and brought her back to life in the doll's body. Lonely and cursed in her new body, Ruby, while trying to find her way home, encounters a mysterious black cat named Doom Kitty who is seen by the townsfolk as some kind of malicious monster that strikes fear into the hearts of the public, when in reality, she’s just a misunderstood cat who never harmed anyone. Doom can also speak English, but is heard and understood by only Ruby and nobody else, who just hear meows. Stuck in the forest with Doom, Ruby begins the journey back home to get her fortune and prevent it from falling into the grubby hands of the two people that took her life. And during this adventure, Ruby's new friend will teach her to change her selfish ways and show her that there are more things in the world than money that can make her happy.
