Ruby Kurosawa

Ruby Kurosawa is one of the nine main characters of Love Live! Sunshine!!. She is a first-year in Uranohoshi Girls' High School. Her image color is magenta. She is a member of CYaRon!, a sub-unit under Aqours.

Background
Ruby is a first-year student who is almost always nearby her best friend, Hanamaru Kunikida.

She has an elder sister, Dia Kurosawa, with who she has a very close bond.

Personality
Ruby is very shy, which makes it hard for her to get along with other people. She has never talked to any males besides her father before, so she has always been bad at dealing with the male gender. She is fearful and easily upset, but still has a tough interior forged by her role as the daughter of a rich, well-known family.

From a different perspective, Ruby is adaptable and mostly admired by her friends, and they support her no matter what. She often says "がんばルビィ!" (Ganbarubii, lit. "Rubesty"), a portmanteau between "頑張る" (ganbaru, lit. "try with full effort") and her own name, to encourage herself or others to do their very best. She also refers to herself in the third person from time to time, just like Hanamaru.

In the anime, she is shown to have a playful side of her when she teases Yoshiko for her Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments alongside Hanamaru, which often annoys Yoshiko.

Clubs and Hobbies
Her hobbies are needlework and fashion. Her talent is in coordinating outfits. Alongside You Watanabe, she is also Aqours's wardrobe supervisor. She displays an admiration for idols, despite coming from a traditional family. She shares this interest with her sister Dia.
