She is a keen observer and is always thinking about the world around her. She also has an artist's eyes and she can often find the beauty (or lack-there-of) in anything. She didn't have too many friends when she was small, which forced her to turn to books as her comfort. She is intelligent and thirsts for new knowledge. Yet she is also a touch winsome, loving classical mythology and fairy tales. She is kind to anyone she meets, although she is also reserved. She is hesitant to attach emotions to certain people, lest they leave or hurt her. She is the type of person who sees order within chaos. She can be a little messy but always seems to know where everything is. Due to the flightly nature of her thoughts, she often acts a little absent-minded. She is especially wary of any men showing romantic interest and does not know how to react when being flirted with. She often becomes more shy or makes some witty remark to throw the guy off. Ruki very rarely gets angry and tries not to shout. She hates losing control of her emotions and often responds to bad situations by becoming quieter and more reserved. The quieter she gets, the angrier she is. Ruki enjoys listening more than talking and enjoys viewing situations from every angle. She isn't sure why she is good at helping others (when given the chance) but she likes to think that like her mother, she is a helpful person. She is not one for performing violence but will defend herself and others in order to maintain peace. She enjoys a good laugh and a good cry now and then; she finds it important to remember happiness and sadness in order to be more grateful for where you are. Ruki is an open book, to an extent. She is happy to talk about her parents, grandparents and home in Amestris. But she keeps two incidents in particular very close to her heart, afraid that people would judge her for them. One instance of violence and anger and one of fear and... fascination.

She's average height and relatively skinny. Like her mother she was gifted in the hips and bosom, but she's not one to flaunt what she has. Her muscles aren't overly defined but she has little trouble moving around bulky furniture or other cumbersome objects. She has shoulder length raven black hair. She normally wears it tied back with loose strands hanging down. She can be seen with it down occasionally and even with a half ponytail on one side, although that's usually when she's feeling giggly. Her eyes are a warm brown and they sparkle with a hazel gleam when she's doing something she loves. On the opposite side, they can turn flat and the color of dark chocolate when forced to do something she dislikes. Her skin can only be described as sun-kissed; she always appears to be slightly tan, although she makes no effort to sunbathe. When Ruki is not in military uniform, she usually wears “comfortable” clothing. And for her, comfortable is a pair of jeans and a button down shirt. She also loves wearing oversize Lolita dresses no shorter than her knees. Ruki's favorite types of shoes are boots and she has far too many pairs. She normally wears heeled ankle boots, but she has pairs that vary in height (heel-wise and length-wise) for whatever mood she happens to be in. For special occasions she has several cocktail dresses as well as a floor-length dress that belonged to her mother. It is the only outfit she will not wear boots with. Ruki always walks around with a thoughtful expression on her face, constantly observing the world around her. She has a tendency to walk slowly, often with a lilt in her step. It's almost like she's walking to the tune the world around her is playing. She smiles when talking to others and her entire face lights up when the topic is something she truly loves. She is soft spoken and there is a calming tone in her voice. She rarely shouts and instead grows steadily quieter the angrier she becomes. When she tells stories, it is easy to become captured in the tale, as she grows animated when telling it.

Their marriage had existed farther back from the fiasco between Ishval and Aerugo and felt no racial animosity towards another in the slightest. At age 12, she was given a journal about basic alchemy composed by her parents. She was hooked by page 1. From there, she endlessly studied and researched alongside her parents, furthering their research with her latent alchemical talent and boundless determination. The day after her 15th birthday, her father had packed and left and all he left was the fully filled out and signed divorce papers and a note saying he loved her. On that day, Ruki revoked the Estenial name and took her mother's, and furthered her research with her mother's alchemical research and her own. When she was 18, her mother died after experimenting with a newly cultivated plant, whose intended purpose was to be able to fill a grown man's stomach with one bite, but instead was highly poisonous. She left home and headed for the capital of Aerugo. She looked desperately for work and became a beggar in a week's time. On one chance day, she was shoved aside by a frantically running man, who left a large mark of blood on her shoulder. She looked on at the blood in shock, then anger. She quickly ran after him with all the speed her malnourished legs would allow. She nipped at his heels and he made a mistake in his direction and found himself pinned against an alley wall by this brittle girl. She didn't see the knife in his other hand, but she definitely felt it when it lodged itself in her stomach. She backed away slowly eyes stretched to their limit, first staring at the knife then at the man, who gave a toothy grin and came over to pat her face, which she flinched at. "Stupid bitch..." He sneered. Her eyes sparked at the comment, her hands flashed to her stomach and wrenched out the knife. She pounced like a deranged tigeress and slashed into his throat, tearing it to ribbons. It was after that that the city guard happened upon a blood drenched girl in ratty clothes twisting a pocket knife through his trachea. The first time she had ever killed, and the first time she'd ever thought of her father. They grabbed her up and dragged her, kicking and screaming, to the palace in which she was congratulated for her work. Having told the princess of her plight, she took her in on the condition she join the military, in where she was supplied with careful attention, clothing, and food, along with all the research she could want. Eventually they let her move back to her hometown where she joined Das AMESTRIAN Militär.
