Ruri

Ruri (ルリ) is the descendant of the hero, who is on a journey to become a full-fledged hero. She is one of the heroines of Noumin Kanren no Skill Bakka Agetetara Nazeka Tsuyoku Natta.

Appearance
Ruri is a petite, beautiful girl with an athletic build. She has violet eyes and her blue hair is cut short save for her right side lock. She typically wears a woolen traveling dress with boots and thigh high stockings.

Personality
Despite being a descendant of the Hero, Ruri failed to manifest her power and was frequently bullied by others as being a failure. Despite encouragement from her parents to walk her own path, Ruri considered herself a disappointment and struggled with her self-esteem. After encountering Al and being reminded of what it means to be a hero, Ruri finally found the confidence to tap into her ancestor's power as well as falling in love with Al.
