Here's the official character / world building notes on Ruvina | Raven Wynter and her fic !
- Ruvina faced a lot of trauma at the hands of Kronos as child. It was more than him eating her like he did with her other siblings. There was much more too it, and that was made even more apparent when he tried to use Luke Castellan as a vessel to destroy them all. A lot of it deals with the fact that Ruvina inherited his time abilities as well as her taking over his domain of time after Zeus more or less defeated him.- When Hades, Poseidon and Zeus were splitting up the different realms, it was ultimately decided that Ruvina would get a piece of each three realms since there wasn't a realm that she could inherently get at the moment. This is why she goddess over things that are in some way tied to each realm like winter storms (Zeus's realm), sorrow and frostbite (Hades's realm), and the Arctic ocean (Poseidon realm)
- This is also the same reason that Ruvina is the goddess of boundaries. She works to ensures that each realm retains its autonomy while also facilitating communication and interaction between her three brothers; Ruvina, in her own words, is her three brothers babysitter. She helps prevent wars between the three (which sometimes can't be avoid because either one of them is begin stubborn/over dramatic or they flat out are just not listening to her or get the nerve to claim that she's having some kind of favoritism- which she does not in fact have a favorite brother.)
- Ruvina is a Sally Jackson defender. When she, years after Percy had been born and the young demigod was just freshly claimed, had quite literally smite down her twin brother as she had found out that Poseidon made Sally a teen mom and had abandoned her to raise Perc; which she, to degree, understood given the her brothers pack. But, Ruvina was more so angry that Poseidon didn't tell her since she can move freely and could have helped Sally. She think the whole arrangement made after the prophecy was stupid became Ruvina, as well as literally all of Olympus, knows that none of them can really keep it in their pants; especially that of Zeus. Now days, Ruvina likes to visit Sally and offer help with her kids. She tries to be a good aunt to all of her twin's children.
- Whenever Ruvina visits Olympus, she tends to stay in the Sun Castle rather than the main castle that Zeus and Hera and some of the other gods live in. She much rather stay in her husband's domain than be smothered by Zeus and deal with Hera's constant glaring.
- Out of all her immediate siblings, Ruvina and Hestia get along the best. This is due to mix of them begin people that take care/watch over their family and due to them both having such bright and bubbly personalities.
- Dionysus and Ruvina are best friends and designated gossip buddies. She gives him the gossip happening Olympus and he tells her about whatever is the latest gossip happening with Camp. Their friendship is so natural and a hair ironic considering their both gods of festivities.
- Ruvina and Apollo have an open relationship. Ruvina doesn't mind Apollo having his mortal flings as long as she knows about them, which Apollo is more than fine with telling his wife about his other lovers. Which is probably why Apollo and Ruvina are one of the more successful marriages in Olympus because Ruvina feels no anger or jealousy towards the other woman and men who her husband choices to bed. Ruvina knows that Apollo's love for her is something that's enteral, full of devotion, and at it's core is a friendship like none other and unbreakable. Plus, she likes getting to be friend his lovers and fully getting to fully embarrass him with them. A good example of this is her very close friendship with Naomi Solace, who was both unafraid and bold enough to make fun of Ruvina and Apollo.
- Any demigod child that is claimed by Apollo's is also claimed by Ruvina. She loves Apollo's mortal children like she had birthed them herself. Since she tends to send a portion of her year at camp, something that extended after the wars, she gets to spoil her step children like crazy. She'll spend days with them at the archery range (even though she can't shot an arrow straight to save her own life) or she'll spend time with them at lake (she'll freeze over the lake during the winter to take them safely ice skating) or she'll hangout with at campfire. She knows that a lot of camper get jealous that she does this, but she can't really change how her siblings are towards their own kids. Like it took a bit of time to get her to get Apollo to get his act together in regards of begin a truly good dad to his mortal children.
- Ruvina and Apollo took the battle of Manhattan pretty hard, if not the worst out of all of the gods. This due to the fact that out of the sixteen demigods that died during the battle, ten of them were Apollo's kids. Leaving Apollo with only three surviving children.
- Since Ruvina doesn't have a proper cabin within Camp Half Blood, her kids have the choice to sleep in the Apollo cabin or the Poseidon cabin (something her twin brother doesn't exactly care about since they are twins and do share domains as it is). Her son, Kai, likes staying in the Poseidon cabin because he really likes the atmosphere of the cabin and due to him liking to annoy his cousin, Percy. Her daughter, Marisol, likes staying in the Poseidon since it's less populated and has a water fountain within it. As for her son, Caspian, he likes the Apollo cabin due to all the people, the chill vibes, and getting to listen to his step siblings ramble on about music and art and medical stuff. As for her other daughter, Aquaria, she likes to stay in the Apollo cabin since she shares a similar power to her siblings and like have little fun light shows within their cabin when they should be sleeping.
- Ruvina first met the Doctor years ago when she was in Pompeii. The meeting had been short, but she could instantly tell that he and his mortal friend, Donna Noble, were time travelers. She could sense how time fluctuated around them. She was very fascinated with by him and wanted to know more about him. Which it seemed to go both ways as the Doctor would take her up on her offer of visiting her Roman temple. Ruvina, similarly to Apollo, doesn't change her name in a Roman form. In fact, she doesn't really take her Roman form unless she pulled into a Roman battle. She and the Doctor got to know each other that night in her temple and the Doctor learned about Iris messaging and begin able to communicate with her through prayer. The Doctor and her met many time after that original meeting and Ruvina would even go on to introduce him to Apollo, whom was practically smitten with him after their first encounter.
- Ruvina first met River Song when she had agreed to go on a adventure to a library with the Doctor and Donna. Upon meeting the woman, she already knew full and well who Ruvina was since River Song was time traveler and thus already lived out a complex life with the goddess. But, Ruvina ultimately changed River original fate by blessing/imbuing her with some of her own godly powers, specifically her time ability. So instead of dying to save everyone in the library, she was put into a temporary comma (something that occurred due to her unique heritage/inherent abilities), but River Song was ultimately fine after her body was able to adjust and slept for like a week straight.
