Calvin Weir-Fields

A young and talented author who is successful after his first novel, he struggles with his insecurities and writer block. He is obsessive and a control freak.

Calvin is a tall, slim young man with soft features and an athletic build. He has a mop of light brown hair and matching eyebrows, he also has blue eyes and rather pale skin. His fashion sense is also rather formal with him regularly wearing dress shirts and trousers with loafers. He also has round, beige, tortoiseshell glasses.

He is a very successful author who managed to find himself in a secure financial situation from a young age thanks to royalties from his first novel. In spite of this however he hasn't managed to write a book in almost a decade and is struggling both with writer's block and the loneliness and depression from the recent loss of his father and breakup with his girlfriend.

To cope Calvin enlists the help of a psychiatrist and regularly hangs out with his brother and best friend Harry and regularly takes his dog Scotty for walks. One day his psychiatrist suggests to him a writing task to help him cope with his current issues. Calvin decides to take up his advice after attending a writing conference with his friend and mentor Langdon Tharp.

Calvin still struggling with writer's block begins having dreams featuring a beautiful red-haired woman talking to him and as such he gets inspired to write about her and make a story revolving around her, he names her Ruby Sparks. Calvin is ecstatic at the prospect of the burst of inspiration and tells Harry about Ruby who is sceptical over the character he's written, telling Calvin he's only written the idea of a woman as opposed to a genuine character however Calvin ignores his complaints and continues writing Ruby in a very romantic and unrealistic way.

To his horror Calvin is met with Ruby in his kitchen the following day, having somehow came to life yet with no idea of the truth behind her existence. Although initially disturbed and panicked by her presence Calvin soon warms to the idea of Ruby being real and begins a genuine relationship with her. Once again he confides in Harry over the situation and he in turn is horrified and confused as to how Calvin brought a woman into the world seemingly out of thin air. Soon the two discover that whatever Calvin writes about Ruby will become true and as such Calvin vows to never write anything about her again.

He is a young and talented author who after struggling with writer's block inadvertently brings one of his characters named Ruby Sparks to life and falls in love with her, ultimately revealing a much darker and possessive side to his personality in the process. When Ruby enters the picture Calvin's darker sides begin to surface with him ultimately showing himself to be a controlling, manipulative, cruel, petty and envious individual. Ultimately however he does realise the error of his ways and changes for the better completely.
