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 good friend, Hanamaru Kunikida.

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

Personality
Ruby is very shy, which makes it harder for her to get along with other people. She's a bit capable of speech, which gives her the opportunity to try and get along. 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, shy, and easily upset, but still has a tough interior, forged by her role as a girl in 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. Despite not being confident and providential, her felicific manner is everything it takes to make her a perfect person.

She often says "がんばルビィ!" (Ganbarubii, lit. "Rubesty". A portmanteau between "頑張る" which means "try with full effort" and her own name), her catchphrase, 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 her best friend Hanamaru.

In the anime, she is shown to have a playful side of her when she tease Yoshiko's Fallen Angel behaviour and her embarassing moments alongside her best friend Hanamaru which often annoyed Yoshiko all the time.

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