In this AU Ruby is a floppy eared rabbit faunus and her sister is Velvet Scarlatina. Ruby is 18 when she attends Beacon. She has crescent rose but in this universe it is called Black Mamba which is her secondary weapon. Her main weapon's are two swords that combine into a bow, and Ruby uses her aura to create the arrows. Ruby has had a hard time with humans since they treated her like garbage. Velvet tries to help but it does little to sway her feelings of hatred towards humans. Velvet has had an equally hard time but is always looking on the bright side of life. Ruby however was always looking down and tries to avoid confrontation which never works. Due to that she pours herself into studding, this made Ruby distanced herself from her emotions. This made her a very logical person without a moral compass, or so she thought.
Ruby has never felt complete ever since Adam broke her heart. (Yes I am doing that, no it will not show but be referenced.) Ruby is smart to the point she could build an android like Penny on her first try without fail or able to develop a poison that can wipeout humanity while leaving all Faunus unharmed. Adam dated her because of that. Yang will end up dating Ruby because they make each other happy. Yang will also give Ruby her cloak.
"Smile." Velvet said as she took Ruby's picture, Ruby looked at her with a dry look. Velvet looked at the picture and frowned. "Ruby you didn't smile, you know I won't be able to see you for a year. Please smile once for me." Velvet put on a fake pout Ruby said, "What would be the point I would just be waiting energy on a pointless endeavor. Besides I am here to see you off nothing more." Velvet puffed out her cheeks and said, "You're no fun." Ruby turned around and said, "If you continue to waste time you'll miss your flight." As she walked off. Turning around saw Velvet was hurt. Ruby sighed, 'Can't believe I'm doing this.' Ruby walked up to Velvet and said, "I'm only doing this for you." Ruby put on her best smile as Velvet took the picture now smiling herself. Then said, "See sometimes you can benefit from a 'pointless endeavor'." Ruby looked away blushing and walked away. When she got home she went straight to her shed locking herself in it. After a while she heard her parent banging on the door begging for her to enter the house. She mumbled to herself, "When I can face my past then I can go home."
1 year later
Ruby was on her way to Vale she was sitting on a bench near the transport spot. Then her phone rang, Ruby picked it up and on the phone was her older sister Velvet saying "I'm so excited to see you Ruby." Ruby Said "Hi, It's good to hear from you." Velvet said "When are you going to be arriving?" Ruby looked at her watch, "40 Minutes." Velvet said, "What have you been up to? Last I saw you, you were working on a new weapon." Ruby said, "You'll see, is that all?" Velvet then got into a serious tone, "Have you gotten over it?" Ruby soul felt hallow, she replied in a dry voice, "No." Then quickly hung up.
As she boarded the transport she bumped into a blond girl. She said, "Sorry I didn't see you there." Ruby saw she was a human and walked away. Ruby walked all the way over to one side of the transport and opened up her book. Then the blond girl sat down next to Ruby and said, "I think we got off on the wrong foot." As the blond girl said as she extended her hand. After a couple moments of silence the blond haired girl said, "It's ok I don't bite." Ruby takes a quick glance then looks back at the book. The blond haired girl then said "I'm Yang, Yang Xiao Long." Ruby said "Ruby." Then got back to reading. Yang presided to make Ruby talk more. Ruby tried her best to ignore Yang, but to no avail. Next thing Ruby noticed she was actually having a nice conversation with Yang.
Once they touched down Yang said, "It was a pleasure to meet you. I would love to know more about you." Ruby thought 'love' she had never heard that word be said to her by a human, Ruby felt her face heat up she shook her head. Once she found her face return to normal. She got off and saw Velvet with her camera. Walking up to Velvet, Ruby said, "Hay Velvet, how are you." Velvet replied, "I am perfect. I have a team that backs me." Ruby aid "I am happy for you." Velvet asked, "Did you find anyone to fill the gaping hole in your heart?" Ruby had an image of Yang Xiao Long pop in her head. Ruby shook her head saying "No." Velvet looked at Ruby saddened that she hadn't changed. She then said, "Hay Ruby want to meet my team." Ruby thought about it for a moment then said "Not right now, I need to get to the assembly." Velvet said, "Alright, fallow me." As they headed to the assembly hall there she saw Yang. Yang saw Ruby and said "Ruby I saved you a spot." Velvet said in a teasing tone, "Oooo, my little sister has gotten herself a human friend." Ruby said, "No, she is an annoying acquaintances." Velvet said, "She knows your name, the least you can do is tell me hers." Ruby said, "Yang Xiao Long." Before walking to the opposite side of the hall.
Velvet felt sorry for Yang, so she walked up to yang and says, "Hi Yang I am Velvet, Ruby's older sister." Extending a hand to Yang shook Velvets hand and askes, "What is up with your sister? She seems to have a chip on her shoulder." Velvet responds, "I am so sorry but Ruby has had a tough life growing up because people always hurt her, or attacked her. She wanted to be left alone and has distanced herself from her emotions. She only knows hate and directs it to all of humanity." Yang looks at Ruby then says, "I see maybe I'll be her first human friend." Velvet nods and says, "Try to be patient, She will try to push you away." Yang looked back at Velvet and said, "Thanks for the warning."
