This is not to say that the famous American TV series "Supernatural" is replete with the main characters. Indeed, in its basic composition only the Winchester brothers and a couple of other heroes are involved. However, there are other characters in it that were remembered by the audience for their appearance, game and manner of behavior. One of them is Ruby. “Supernatural” is a television series in which two actresses took on this role at once, which we will talk about in more detail.
Who is Ruby: A Brief Background to the Character
Ruby is a charming black-eyed demon in a pretty “female package”. This is a fragile girl walking around in her arms with a powerful magic knife, capable of killing and sending home demons in human form. Thanks to her resourcefulness and pure calculation, she meets the Winchester brothers, in tandem with whom, however, not without mercenary interests, she cleanses the world of the forces of evil.
Short biography of the character
As it turned out, Ruby from the “Supernatural” (photo-cosplay of this character can be seen below) has been living for quite some time. Long before the obsession with the demonic spirit, the girl was a prosperous witch and lived in the not so distant XIV century. She was fond of magic and, together with her hobby friends, was engaged in petty pranks, introducing discord in the families of fellow villagers. However, she wanted more.
According to her, the young sorceress dreamed of gaining unlimited power and becoming a strong witch with a bunch of followers. To implement her plan, she called the demon Astaroth and made a deal with him, selling her own soul for a dream. In the end, she still became a powerful witch, and after death she went to hell. And of course, her body served as a vessel for one of the creatures of the night.
What was her relationship with the Winchester brothers?
Relations with Winchesters at Ruby ("Supernatural") were the most unpredictable. In particular, Sam was the most sympathetic to the beautiful and fragile girl with a strong masculine character. After all, it was she who supported him after he once again lost his brother. In addition, Ruby literally replaced the main character of his partner and relative Dean, giving him love and affection. In addition, the demoness periodically watered him with her own blood, giving Sam supernatural powers.
When Dean nevertheless managed to return from the other world, communication with the girl did not impress him. From the very beginning, he did not trust her, especially when he found out that she was a demon. And of course, it was completely unclear to him where the representative of the dark forces had taken the ancient Kurdish knife.
As it turned out later, Dean did not trust her for good reason. Ruby deliberately rubbed her trust in the Winchesters, so that they would help her and Lilith open the cage with Lucifer. For which she later paid. But first things first.
When and where did Ruby appear in the third season?
Ruby from “Supernatural” (the real name of the girl, not yet possessed by a demon, is not indicated in the series) first appeared in the third season of the serial film. And she did it very effectively, skillfully dealing with her three colleagues in hell at once and freeing the bewildered Sam from the trap. At the same time, she introduced herself as a hunter and a fighter against evil spirits.
Subsequently, Winchester, still mourning his brother, learns the truth about his new acquaintance. However, having seen the girl’s readiness to help in the release of Dean from Hell and other good intentions, she agrees to further cooperation with her.
The appearance of a demoness in the fourth season of the series
Further , the Winchester brothers encounter Ruby (“Supernatural” this time strikes with an unusually romantic plot) in the fourth season of the series. Despite the warm relationship between the hunter and the demon, an unexpected turn of events occurs - the girl appears in front of the Winchesters and is accompanied by another servant of the underworld and tries to kill Sam. However, she does not succeed. She eliminates her demon ally and explains her behavior, citing the need to lull Lilith's vigilance.
Ruby later shares his knowledge of the angels with his brothers and talks about Lilith's detailed plan for the seals and Lucifer. Sam increasingly trusts the girl, unlike Dean, who periodically catches the demoness in a lie and even makes several unsuccessful attempts to kill her.
In the final series, the Winchester brothers learn about Ruby's real plan. “Supernatural”, as you see, continues to surprise us with non-standard ups and downs of the script.
As it turned out, her original plan was to eliminate Lilith with Sam's hands. In this case, the murder of the latter removed the third seal from the cage and freed Lucifer. Having learned about this, hunters get rid of the demon with the help of her own magic knife.
The role of the demon in the fifth and sixth seasons
In the fifth season, the role of the demon is episodic. Viewers are shown the dead body of the girl, and only from the back. And finally, in the sixth season, where we are talking about a parallel universe in the series Supernatural, Sam and Ruby find themselves husband and wife. In subsequent episodes, the girl no longer appeared.
By the way, it is quite possible that this was an unequivocal allusion to the directors of the real wedding of Jared Padalecki (Sam) and Genevieve Nicole Cortese (Ruby). But we will return to this.
