Seems people like this story. I must admit that I thought it would flop chapter 0, but I was wrong. Chapter 0 was easy, but i'm looking forward to later chapters. Oh I kinda want to put this out there now so there is no confusion. While I do have pairings for Ruby in my head finalized that doesn't mean that Ruby won't be in a few relationships before their finished and cemented.

Chapter 1: The Royal Family
Location: Menagarie City, Kingdom of Menagarie
Place: Belladonna Manor, Ruby's Room
Time: 0610 (Saturday)
Ruby smiled at her sister as she got up from her bed and yawned. She looked around her room before finding what she was looking for. She grabbed a towel so that she could begen her shower. She walked to the shower and turned to look at her sister before winking at her. Blake smiled at Ruby as she grabbed her own towel and followed her sister into the shower. For as long as Blake could remember one of the favorite activities for the sisters to do together was visit the local hot springs or shower together.
It honestly wasn't a big deal, Skinship between the sisters was nothing to spectacular. Just hugs, soft kisses, and light petting. Unlike Humans, Faunus didn't have the same morale adversities to incestuous relations. Sex was just sex to them. It was one of the reason they didn't view relationships as complex. If two people were in a relationship and one of them wanted to step out and take a lover on the side then that was their prerogative. The only thing that was frowned upon is if two lovers not in a committed relationship had a child. It brought shame and dishonor upon a the True lover(s). It was also dishonest to trick a side lover with the intent of hurting that person. They had seen it many times in the fonding years. Ruby and Blake knew about Gihra's two lovers. They didn't openly brag about it seeing as they were just side pieces. Even Kali had four or five lovers on the side. Hell even Sienna had one or two lovers on the side.
"So are you excited about your trials today All-sister?" asked Blake. (1)
Ruby stiffened remembering the trials were today. For the last 5 years Ruby had trained under the Head of the Menagarie Marines, her mother, to hone her skills in the hopes of passing her trails and being accepted into Faith Academy. Unlike others who did basic training at Brightside academy. Blake herself was a Member of the White Fang while also training to be a Huntress. While Blake was a great fighter, Ruby was hailed as a prodigy that everyone acknowledged. Even her father, Soul-mother, and birth mother told her that her skills were natural beyond what even her peers had. Even at the tender age of 16 she could flatten most members of the Marines and even C-ranked Huntsmen and Huntress's.
The Trails had been created by her mother, Cleo, and the heads of the Monastic Order to test young Faunus who wished to enter into the Military. The Military or Menagaire consited of the Marines, the Guard, The White Fang, and the Huntsmen castes. The Military existed in a Class right below the Established Nobles and above the merchants. Over the last two decades a cast system had seemingly developed in the new Faunus Kingdom. While was the case Ghira made it clear that while he as head of the King may sit at the top, he would always lay down his life for someone of a lesser Caste. The people admired Ghira for this. They called him Ghira the Benevolent.
Ruby shuck her head as Blake wrapped her arms around Ruby's torso and kissed her sister on the check. Ruby grasped as Blake ran a finger up between the valley of her breasts.
"Blake!" moaned Ruby.
"Shhhh!" gently hushed Blake. "You have nothing to worry about my beautiful sister. You are the blood daughter of Ghira and Sienna, You are the Soul daughter of Kali. You are my All-sister,You will pass the Trails as I have and you will remind the people why the Belladonna lead and protect them all,"
Ruby nodded and turned in her sister's embrace and gave her a passionate kiss. Blake kissed her back with just as much passion and love. While the duo have never been 'intimite' with each other the attraction was there, but not the need. The duo pulled away from each other with a smile. They finihed their shower and walked into Ruby's room. They began to change into their clothes. Black changed into a white haoriwith black accents, a red hakama, and a pair of zōri with white tabi Over this she wore . Ruby changed into a white-and-black shinobi shōzoku with a fishnet vest, arm-guards, tabi-style boots with shinguards, The standard uniform that all members of the Trails had to wear.
A knock sounded on the door. The door opened and in walked Ruby's attendant and Bodyguard Harriet Bree. Harriet is a young woman a few years older then Ruby, with with platinum blonde and brown hair shaved on the sides and violet eyes. Her body was thicc with a ass and thighs that Ruby loved to look at and admire when they were out on a run together . Her Faunus trait was a little rabbits tail. While Harriet was a Huntress her Primary Division was the Guard as Part of a cross trained group. She wore the uniform of the today black and white cloth, metallic plates on the hips and a belt across the chest fastened with a yellow sash. They wear pauldrons on their shoulders with some featuring what appears to be the Menagerie Guard symbol. Some members wear a hood with a metal plate on the forehead. Faunus with animal ears have hoods that let the ears go through. The guards wear open-toed boots fastened together with two yellow strings. Harriet chose not to wear the helmet.
"Lady Ruby, Lady Blake," said Harriet standing at attention, before crossing her right arm over her heart. With her palm flat.
Ruby and Blake returned the gesture. While they were the 'Princess's' of Menagarie, Blake was senior to Ruby in Hierarchy as she was older then Ruby by a year. Blake was next in line to lead her people should her father die or step down. Ruby was fine with that as her and her descendants would instead take over control of the Military and Huntsmen Divisions.
"Be at ease Bree. Why have you come here?" asked Blake folding her arms in front of her.
Blake HATED when her alone time with ruby was interrupted. (2)
Harriet bit her lip. "I was sent by Lady Khan to retrieve Ruby and bring her to the trail grounds,"
Blake turned to her sister and kissed her forhead. "Go with the blessings of Athan, Goddess of Victory and may the spirits of courage watch you in your time of needs, said Blake.
Ruby shuck her head. "I honestly keep forgetting that you spend as much time with the Priests as you do with the Fang.
"I'll be among the officials watching Ruby," said Blake turning and walking away.
Harriet smirked at her charge. "Ready to go Ruby. I'd like to get to the Arena, before your mother kicks my ass for making you late
Ruby chuckled hearing her friend speak. "Mom isn't that bad," said Ruby
Harriet shuck her head. "You've never seen her drill and entire Guard Unit 'For lack of discipline," said Harriet
Location: Menagaire City
Place: Arena
Time: 0800 (Saturday)
The Area were the trials were held every year wasn't as impressive as it sounded. It was nothing like the Grand Dome of Atlas or even the Mistral Battle Arena. The Arena of Trials could only hold 10,000 people at a time Currently there were less then 4000 people in attendance to see the trials. The center Arena was a perfect circle All members of the Military, Holy, Noble, and Royal Castes. There were a few people from the Civilian Caste here as well rooting for children, Siblings or loved ones, hoping they could get into a different caste.
The Trails were held twice a year with the week leading up to the final day of the Trails being the actual Main event. It was held during the Sol and Luna Festivals. Originally Sienna and Cleo allowed anyone into their small Guard which quickly swelled and made their forces even larger then the time of the Faunus Rights Revolution. Because of this Atlas and Mistral viewed the quick rise of the youngest Kingdom they tired to implement Arms resections on the young Kingdom. Vale and Vacuo intervened and told the other Kingdoms that their requests for limiting their grow by 90 percent was unreasonable. Never the less they still had a 35 percent restriction imposed on them.
This had been fine, because by the times the restriction had been imposed their forces were already where they wanted them to be. Large enough to be considered a threat, but small enough to avoid real notice
Sienna, 2nd Wife of Ghira and High Leader of the military Caste stood next to her husband and sister-wife in her Black-red jacket-dress with slits down both sides, a pair of pantyhose, and leather boots.
Over the Years Sienna had refined the Military and separated them into three Sub-castes. The Marines/Navy who patrolled the Waters and the Islands and ports that made up the Outer layer of Menagaire. They were the lowest Caste of the Military and often delt with the external threats that came to their boarders. The Guard, while slightly smaller then the Marine Caste by more then Half were highly specialized in the Internal Defenses of Menagerie and worked along side the Monastic Order to keep the peace and ensure that Criminal elements and forgin powers didn't secure a good foothold in their homelands. The Huntsmen and Huntresses were a specialized Branch of the Military. Unlike Atlas that conscripted their Huntsmen and Huntresses into the Military, Huntsmen and Huntresses of Menagaire were free to do as they pleased, but most of them took Positions within the White Fang, Guard, or Marines to bolster their ranks and act as specialized attack units.
The White Fang... There was a unique situation. The White Fang were a recognized arm of the Menagaire Military forces and had branches throughout the Kingdoms. All except Atlas that refused to have a 'Terrorist Organization' acting freely in their boarders. That was the furthest thing from the truth. The White Fang acted as the backbone- Security Forces- of any Rally's, Protests, and the like whenever they were needed. Leaders of Faunus communities outside of Menagarie often looked to the White Fang Regional Leaders for aid. The leaders were expected to keep their people on tight leash. Of course that was their public Face. Their true face was part of the Monastic Order. Them, the Black Claw while they did report to her their orders more often then not came from Kali directly. That woman had her hand in more political assassinations then even Sienna was comfortable knowing was one of the reasons Sienna feared her sister wife.
"Today is going to be interesting. So many Hopefuls this year," said Kali with a smile of her face as she watched the Hopefuls come into the Arena and began to starch.
"I agree. We have more hopefuls then last year, that's for damn sure," agreed Goku Wukong scratching his belly length beard.
"I'm honestly hoping to see what dear Ruby will do," said Cleo smoking a small cigarette.
"I personally trained Ruby. She will destroy anyone who gets between her and victory," said Sienna looking at her child and she was by the weapon's racks testing the weight of a pair of ninjaken blades.
"My money is on my Young Solo. He's been drilled hard by my Soul-brother for the last two months in preparation for the Sol Festival," said the Lion Faunus Notch Pride, pride unmistakable in his voice.
Notch was a Large male and his belly showed his age. He was getting on in years. Almost to the point where he was more Adviosr then actual combatant now a days. His once dark locks were now stained Gray, but his ears were still a friece amber. He wore the Guard Uniform, but was more ornate, marking him as the highest ranking authority for the Guard under Sienna herself.
Gihra scorffed at the other man. "You only say that because he is of your kin Commander," said Gihra.
Notch glared at Ghira, but kept his mouth shut. Notch had once been one of the commanders of the White Fang during the FRR. He used hit and Run gorilla tactics to win many a victory against Mistral. When Peace talks were offered, he wanted to continue fighting, Dared challenge Gihra and the other leaders wishes for peace. He fought with Gihra for the right to represent the Faunus at the talks. Gihra beat him soundly and had silenced all his protests. A final insult was when Ghira in his blood rage ripped off half of his left Faunus ear. Because of their former friendship and because of his tactical mind Gihra allowed him to become the Commander of the Guard. A position he had held for the last 19 years, despite his protests that he could do better as the Military Chair of the Council.
"Mother, Father, Soul-mother," said Blake arriving with her personal guard and one of her lover's Ilia.
Sienna smiled at Blake. "I'm glad you could make it Blake. I was sure that you wouldn't leave Ruby's side," said Sienna.
Blake shuck her head. "Ruby would never forgive me if I constantly hovered over her," said Blake.
Kali laughed her mouth. "Lets be honest dear you do tend to hover a bit when it comes to Ruby," said Kali.
The group turned back to the arena floor as one of Sienna's Commanders brought all the Hopefuls to attention in a Neat and orderly fashion, before he turned and saluted.
"Lord Gihra, the Hopefuls are formed and ready for you and the Council," said the Commander loudly.
Ghira returned the salute, before he stepped away from the others. "Before me I see many younglings ranging from the ages of 13 all the way up to 20, all who wish to serve our Military in different aspects from the Marines, to the Guards, to the White Fang, and our esteemed Huntsmen and Huntresses. However not all of you will be able to serve our people in this capacity. Out of the 300 of you assembled before us today only a third will be allowed to serve. I wish you all the best of look and may Athan, Goddess of Victory watch over you all," said The Cheiftan of Menagaire.
Over the next few hours different events were used to determine a Hopefuls worth, Marksman ship, Endurance, Capacity to produce AURA, and several other evens. Eventually many were eliminated at when the Sun began to creep into Night the only thing left was a demonstration battle between the top two Hopefuls. Solo Pride and Ruby Belladonna-Khan.
Solo and Ruby entered the Arena and looked at each other. Solo stood a full head taller then Ruby and was built like a tank. Both his arms were adorned with the Tribal Tattoo's that were customary for the Pride Family to have. His skin was slightly darker then Ruby's was and his eyes were a sage green color. His custom weapon was a pair of triangular shield gauntlets that concealed a blade In the center. Ruby's own weapon was a Katana, but it was different in that it had a silver colored Dust crystal, no not Crsytal a Dust Stone near the hilt Dust stones were rare. They were the purest, most refined dust on the planet. In fact they were so rare that in the entire recorded history of Remnant only 19 of them had been discovered. The last one to be found was knowing owned by The Warrior-King of Vale and used in his septor. For Ruby to have one would be a big deal. (3) (4)
"Lady Ruby," said Solo bowing to her.
Ruby returned the bow. "Lord Pride," said Ruby.
"Just know that regardless of the outcome of our fight I consider you a worthy opponent," said Solo getting into a stance.
Ruby nodded and settled into her own stance. The duo locked eyes before they both vanished. They appeared in the middle of the arena Solo punching at Ruby and stopping her slash with ease. Ruby disengaged first and jumped over Solo. Solo managed pulled a fist back and throw it forward. Two lightning bullets flow out and at Ruby. Ruby grabbed her sheath and batted both the bullets away as she manged to land on the ground and slid backwards a few steps.
Solo looked at her. "Impressive. I was sure that I managed to catch in the a blind spot,"
"No chance," said Ruby as she throw the sheath at Solo.
Solo raised his fist and batted the attack away, but Ruby was already on him slashing away at him. His gauntlets took the brunt of the damage, but a few attacks got though. Solo roared as his body changed to electric blue. Ruby was shocked by this when her sword hit the barrier. Solo with Speed he didn't have before grabbed her by her throat and unleashed nearly 10000 volts though her body. Ruby refused to scream in pain as she grabbed his arm and kicked upwards revealing that she had a knife concealed in the tip of her boot. Solo released her and looked at her.
He charged in with a flurry og punches that Ruby either dodged or blocked. Ruby jumped into the air once more before she became a tornado of roses. This became a flurry of strikes and slashes that Solo couldn't keep up with. Finally his Aura flashed indicating that he was low on in, before Ruby took out his left knee making him fall. Solo looked up to see the tip of her sword at his throat.
"Do you yield?" asked Ruby.
Solo looked at Ruby. "I Yield to the stronger warrior," said Solo.
The people in attendance applauded the two for their display. Ruby sheathed her sword, before helping Solo to his feet. Once there Ruby did a hoping motion and kissed him on his cheek.
"M'lady?" asked Solo with his cheeks.
"Next time we spar don't hold back," said Ruby with a smile. "I like my warriors strong and not so easily bested,"
Solo smiled at Ruby. "Of course,"
"I'll see you at the after party.," said Ruby as she walked away she put a bit of Extra sway in her hips.
Solo followed after Ruby as People began to break up into groups and Parties. For Ruby This was the first night of the rest of her life.

And Cut. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
A/N
1: All-sister. The best way to describe this is because Ruby and Blake have the same Father so they share a bit of his soul and his blood. It would be different if there were two men and two women in a polygunus relationship Thank of it as the team STRQ relationship Paradox.
2: No Blake is NOT a sis-con. Her and Ruby are just very close.
3: Think of the Captain America shields in Avangers: Infinity War
4: Ruby's sword looks like Saya's second sword from Blood +
