She wears a violet-red and dark red tank top leaving her arms free,a light red headband around thick, outgrown hair cropped at the neck, mid-thigh length maroon shorts, and pointed violet-red boots. Her gem is located on the palm of her left hand and has a square facet.

Abilities
Like all Gems, Ruby can shape shift, summon a weapon, and retreat to her gemstone to regenerate. Unlike her fusion with Sapphire, Garnet, Ruby does not appear to possess future vision, as she complains about not being able to "see."

Personality
Ruby is emotional and impulsive and cares deeply for Sapphire. She takes on Garnet's strength and courage while Sapphire embodies Garnet's cool nature and kindness.

Trivia

 * Ruby is the birthstone of July.
 * Ruby and Sapphire are the unfused gems who compose Garnet.
 * Ruby's gemstone can only be seen once in her debut episode.
 * Ruby and Sapphire are most likely lovers in some way, as shown by Ruby's desperate desire to find Sapphire, and the kiss that is part of their fusion dance. It may also explain why they chose to stay as their fusion, Garnet. It has been confirmed that Ruby and Sapphire share a romantic relationship.
 * There are fan theories leading to Ruby being blind, as she exclaims "I can't see!" when she is unable to hear Sapphire's singing. (Though it could also mean that as she just lacks future vision that she has as Garnet since she clearly saw Lapis in her cell. An alternative theory is that Ruby is able to use a form of echolocation, thus why she exclaimed she couldn't see when Sapphire stopped singing.)
 * When asked if Ruby was blind, Joe merely stated that she was "used to being fused with Sapphire, and so, used to having two types of vision," making the theory of Ruby's blindness highly unlikely.
