The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What about Ruby?

Chomperrules1993, this is also my idea XD.
Well, I really hope that we are both right

So, maybe it is a flashback, who know?

I do enjoy Ruby. She likes to look out for others and spread her knowledge to the group but there is a curious streak about her. I bet that’s one of the reasons she became friends with Chomper. She became drawn to him through the endearing enthusiasm he brings to fun. But I suspect he encouraged they explore new places in the Mysterious Beyond and she liked learning about the world with him. When she accompanied Chomper to the valley, I bet it was for more than the reason of looking after her friend and finding a way to defeat Redclaw. It was about exposing herself to places, peoples, and ideas she never saw before. I bet in the valley, she finds some connection in others curious about the world like Littlefoot and Mr. Thicknose.

Depending on how long she stays in the valley, I wonder if she sometimes worry if she’s actually learning anything that might lead to Redclaw’s downfall or if she’s just goofing off with her friends. Even when Redclaw’s defeated, she might be conflicted on which place to call her home. She very much wants to be back with her family but she has established such roots in the valley she doesn’t want to leave. That would be an interesting conflict to explore.

As for where movie 14 takes place and how it relates to animation - I don't put much stock in animation inconsistency and I always assumed it took place after the TV series.

(I came up with that motive stuff about Ruby's friendship with Chomper because I'm writing a story where they first bond and go to the valley. I didn't want to simplify her motives to be something like "I'm Chomper's nanny.")

Well, we now know that Ruby IS in LBT 14 and that it's not a flashback we saw in the trailer ^^

Ruby is a really likeable character, very curious, friendly and funny (her speech in particular :p) I hope she will remain part of the gang together with Chomper :)
Inactive, probably forever.
