Ruddy (PC)

Ruddy is a large Alberean anarchist living with the twin witches Virgo and Margo in the Lavorne Mansion. Though outsiders find their presence imposing, there is no one with a bigger heart in the mansion than Ruddy.

Appearance
Ruddy has pinkish-blonde hair, gentle eyes, and an often permanent overconfident smile across their face. Ruddy dresses almost solely in billowing white shirts and long, breezy red coats. They have a hat with magnificent hen-feathers that they always seem to wear, and a small collection of expressive sunglasses. Ruddy appears towering and bulky at most times.

Personality
There are very few in the entirety of Toussaint who have a bigger heart than Ruddy. They assume the best in every person at first, love and respect anyone unconditionally at first, and see the silver lining in every situation, which sometimes brings them hurt when proven wrong. Ruddy is also very contra the idea that one should be bound by menial tasks and hierarchical order within a group of people. Their chaotic nature in this sense is often in direct opposition to Maru. Both Maru and Ruddy tutor the young Jessica Gale, the youngest member of the Lavorne family.

Biography
Before the Mansion Though the Alberean Empire's influence is vast and far-reaching, there are some that defy its rule. A community of anarchists and hermits from all corners of the land travel the sprawling, unsettled Grasses of Alberea as a tightly-knit family known only as 'the Herd'. These ever-travellers never settle for long and keep a large range of cattle and Auroch oxen with them wherever they go. The Herd believes in power in numbers, living harmoniously with the land, and ultimate freedom.

⁠

Though the Herd has been a thorn in the side of the Empire for decades, it has proved much too difficult to disperse the roamers due to their numbers and exceptional physical prowess, which no scientist or philosopher seems to be able to explain. As far as families go, Ruddy has a pretty large and powerful one, but they're all as much lovers as they are.
