Ruby Sunday is the main deuteragonist of the Fifteenth Doctor Era of Doctor Who.
She is played by Millie Gibson.
History[]
Ruby was born on Christmas Eve 2004 to an unknown mother who abandoned her on the doorstep of a church just hours after she was born. She was named after the street she was found, Ruby Road.
She was eventually adopted by the Sunday family giving her the full name Ruby Sunday.
By 2023 She was trying to track her birth mother down.
In 1963, the Toymaker's offspring known as the Maestro was able to detect a presence or aura in Ruby's soul that managed to frighten the music-based deity.
Somehow, the memory of when she was a baby abandoned by her ostensible mother can involuntarily and unpredictably influence the fabric of reality in the present, such as the snow from the time manifesting regardless of weather or even being on a planet.
Arriving in Wales, the Doctor lauds about notable Welsh people, including Prime Minister Roger ap Gwilliam, however, he notes that one as bad since he triggered a nuclear war, yet also asks Ruby to forget about it since the Welsh PM is one from the future. Breaking a fairy circle caused the Doctor to vanish, leaving Ruby alone. An elderly woman also appeared to start haunting her, but always from 73 yards away. Anyone who talks with the woman becomes filled with absolute terror, and runs away, as well as permanently refusing to see Ruby again. Ruby makes her way home to London; when she explains the 73 yard away woman, her mother wants to help, but when she talks to the woman, she similarly is filled with horror and cuts off all contact with Ruby. As the years go by, Ruby has a couple failed relationships, since the woman is a constant distraction. One day, she sees the news on PM candidate Roger ap Gwilliam, so she volunteers to join his staff, out of concern he could start a nuclear war. After witnessing his abusive behaviour, and clear intentions to trigger a world war, Ruby positions herself 73 yards from him at his commencement rehearsal; the mysterious woman talks to him, which scares him so much that he flees and resigns as Prime Minister. Decades pass until Ruby is an old woman; the mysterious woman breaks the 73 yard limit as she approaches to almost in front of her death bed. Afterwards, Ruby realises that she herself was the mystery woman, as she finds herself in Wales, seeing the TARDIS materialise. She manages to catch the attention of her younger self, so that the Doctor doesn't break the fairy circle, thus the unexplained phenomena ends before it possibly repeats again.
Returning to UNIT in 2024, the Doctor was alerted to a person of interest, tech billionaire Susan Triad, whose company name S. Triad, being anagram of "TARDIS" made UNIT suspicious.

Trivia[]
- While for a joke, the established rules of time travel in Doctor Who are contradicted when the Doctor takes Ruby to a prehistoric era with dinosaurs. Referencing the "butterfly effect," a butterfly gets crushed which alters Ruby from a Homo sapien into an insectoid humanoid, and reverted to normal when the butterfly is restored. The issue arises due to the fact that time travelers do not experience side effects of alterations to the past, since changing the past creates a new branch, and the time traveler's previous life would still exist in an inaccessible branched timeline, unless the change to the past was undone.
- While not outright stated, Ruby may be lesbian as the bar she met the Doctor at was a gay bar.
