Ruri

Ruri got married to Claude when she finally severed ties with the Royal Family to which she "belonged". She never really had a fulfilling childhood or adulthood due to the constant mistreatment from the same members of the family due to being the last one of many with more important expectations put on them. The humiliation got so bad at one point that she ran away from home, a first in all her history living secluded in that place; stumbling across a "Magic show" in that very escapade, where Claude noticed her state of distress and made his best effort to make her laugh by playing tricks however allowed (Claude was not really good at magic in itself, but he achieved his purpose after some trial and error). That is when they became friends, and Ruri, no longer "shackled" by her thoughts, opted to hang out with him more often whenever she got the chance to slip away from her confines.

Ruri found out that Claude was also an outcast in his family by that time, surprised by how such an optimistic, charismatic man could end in such a situation in the first place, but nonetheless, feeling a strong connection towards him. Claude's personality was contagious, so much that Ruri grew fond of every little aspect of him: His funny demeanor and that fire that burned bright about following his own dreams inspired Ruri greatly, and before she knew it, they both fell in love with each other. Ruri for once and for all bowed to cut the ties of her past, and despite the "great misfortune" that her "family" casted towards her, she moved away successfully to live with the love of her life and begin anew.

Once they finally settled the marriage, Claude and Ruri had their first son, Abelr, now a young grown man that accompanies his father, Claude, on his missions when requested of his and their assistance in said matter. Ruri had many other sons and daughters with Claude that moved away from home with time to seek their own dreams and paths, although Ertobias always makes his best effort to return and visit from time to time, as much as Abelr and Claude due to their work. Ruri is rarely sad due to this, because in the depths of her mind she knows there's barely any comparison to how happy she is living with them, enjoying every little moment.

Trivia.

- Ruri absolutely knows what Claude's, and now Abelr's work is; due to the circumstances, the CTS committee opted to tell her about the implications and risks, but she is bound to not tell a soul about this, as the "Overworld" is restricted to know about "Chaos'" existence.

- When Abelr was born, Ruri and Claude worried themselves to near death when they noticed that the young boy at that time couldn't/wouldn't talk or communicate, not exactly knowing if it was a choice of his or just a disability up to his adulthood, they soon relaxed when the young boy found his own ways to communicate his needs.

- Ruri adores sewing and making various crafts, which she sells for a living. It's not much but it's honest work, and she is absolutely proud about that fact, not being thrown down by others feels nice, since she was always judged about whatever little thing she did when she was young and deemed as "Not good enough" at anything.
