Resting Room Location: Having returned from the Tree just after the Oracle's conclusion and gone stumbling into Alenroux looking for her monster friends before she too fell asleep, there's since been a shrine constructed for Ruby on the outskirts of the village.
Description: An ordinary hut on the outside, except for the rather large flower-covered sleeping dragon curled around the structure. Inside, Ruby still bears the marks of Meridian Discord - flecked with white feathers and cradled in her own angelic wings, her hair grown absurdly long like a river of gold. She's surrounded by the monsters she calls her friends, all of them deep in slumber with her. There aren't a lot of offerings, firstly because there's not a lot of room for them with the monsters taking up space, but what is left behind is usually flowers and food, both of which are cleared away as they degrade. There are, however, a scant few offerings that look like they would be more at home in a shrine to Set... She still wears her priestess regalia, after all, as well as her wedding ring that matches his, so their relationship hasn't been forgotten.
Purpose: Given that Rudbeckia has always made her neutrality clear, there's little purpose in coming to her as a Meri. Instead, Alenroux has come to treat her as something of a symbol of peace beyond the bounds of either faction. She's also a bit of a Saint of Beasts, and some of those who aren't hunters hope her presence will grant them safety from the monsters that still reside in the forests of Alenroux.
Caretaker(s): Various people have done a basic level of upkeep over the years, but she's never had a consistent guardian, especially because most are wary of getting too close to the monsters that surround her. Very recently, though, she has gained a dedicated caretaker! Ami, a young girl who has always been self-conscious of her own monstrous appearance and has taken it upon herself to tend to Ruby with the hopes that one day, the Saint will wake up, and she'll be accepted just like the other monsters.
