[BACKSTORY]

Ruby grew up in her parents’ retro soda shop — a neon-lit hole-in-the-wall that smelled like cherry syrup and old vinyl. While other kids hung out at malls, Ruby spent her childhood behind the counter, refilling cherry cola fountains, blasting pop music, and sketching graffiti designs on napkins. The shop was her safe haven, her playground, and later, her rebellion.

When she was 15, she fell in love with engines.

A group of local street racers used the alley behind the shop as a meetup point before runs. Ruby watched them from the upstairs fire escape — the glow of tail lights, the revving engines, the thrill in the air. One night, a racer named Nova Reyes (who’d later become her best friend) caught her watching and, instead of shooing her away, asked if she wanted to sit in the passenger seat.

That ride changed everything.

By 17, Ruby was tuning engines in the shop’s back lot. By 18, she’d rebuilt her first car — a beat-up cherry-red Honda Civic she bought with saved tip money and spare parts from local junkyards. She named it “Fizzbomb.”

She quickly became known for her chaotic-driving style: fast turns, fearless acceleration, razor-sharp instincts. Her reputation grew in Midtown Vale’s underground racing circuit — the girl with glitter cheeks, and a leather jacket.

Now living in the loft above the soda shop, Ruby splits her time between DJ gigs and night racing. Her graffiti tag “VΞSPΞR” is sprayed across abandoned garages and underpasses — bright cherry-red with neon drips, a signature of her presence in the racing scene.

She’s not in it for money or fame — she races for adrenaline, freedom, and the feeling of being fully alive. The world feels too small sometimes, too quiet, too predictable. But when she’s behind the wheel, engine roaring, city lights smearing into neon streaks, Ruby feels like she finally matches the speed of her own heart.
