"Every time I walk down the halls, people point at me and call me these very rude names, like "freak", "dork", "dweeb", "nerd", "know-it-all", "four-eyes", and "loser". For some reason, all those insults thrown at me don't seem to make me mad or offended. In fact, I've been teased for my nerdiness for so long that I've gotten used to it. Still, I wish all these bullies at school stopped picking on others and treating them unfairly."
— Ruby's opening narration in "The New Girl in School".
Ruby Roberts is the main protagonist of the fanfiction "Bully: The New Girl in School".
Background[]
Ruby was born in Bakersfield, California, where she spent most of her life before she moved to Bullworth with her family when she was sixteen years old. Ruby is very wise beyond her years. She learned to read at the age of three and write at the age of four, and she scores higher on any test than any kid her age has. In fact, she is so smart for her age, that when she was in kindergarten, her teacher suggested that she should skip a few grades, but her parents decided against it, reasoning that Ruby would be overall better off in a classroom with students her age. For most of her life, Ruby had been teased and picked on by other kids because of her geekiness and love for knowledge. Ruby used to feel bad when bullies picked on her, but she seems to have gotten used to it as she got older. Ruby feels that she's been bullied for a little too long, and that it's time to put a stop to it. But unlike Jimmy, who often picks fights with bullies, Ruby decides to find a way to stop bullies from picking on her without resorting to violence.
She does not belong in any of the cliques at Bullworth Academy. She thought about joining the Nerd clique at first, but decided against it when she found out that the Nerds tend to pick on non-clique students when they go near the library. This is why she is happy with being her own person instead of trying to fit in with others.
Personality[]
Ruby is usually shy and quiet, but she is able to help the weak and has a strong sense of justice and gentleness when she consoles people. She is cool, serious, obtaining excellent grades, and a capable girl, strict both with herself and with others. Ruby is an active and smart girl, and she is quite popular with the other kids in her school who are nerdy and/or have been bullied like her, because they admire her for her bravery and want her to show them how to properly stand up to a bully without having to resort to violence.
