Ruby Silverlake (ApSciRuby)

Ruby Silverlake is a rough-and-tumble testing android for the Enrichment Center. She enjoys testing, though as of late, she hasn't yet entered a test chamber. Aside from testing, Ruby will complete missions for GLaDOS. When not testing or running missions, she will visit friends or spend intimate time with her lover, Insane Wheatley.

Background
Ruby Saoirse Silverlake was born on July 18, 1946 in a tiny village in Cork County, Ireland, called Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear, or "Rock of the tall slender men"). There, she grew up in a small house with four other siblings, three of whom were nearly six years older than her. She learned to fight, drink, and swear from her older brothers and her grandfather, and was very much a tomboy, much to her mother's chagrin.

In fact, her mother hated her tomboyishness so much that it turned into abuse. None of it was physical, but both parents did their best to discount their fourth child. When Ruby was 14 years old, she got fed up enough with it that she ran from home in the dead of a moonless, summer night. By midday the next day, Ruby was stowed-away on a ship bound for Boston from Cobh.

Ruby spent most of the voyage in the hold, hiding from the sailors of the cargo ship onto which she'd snuck. It was easy enough; she was good at climbing.
