Slayers: Rubia

This will be the first in a series of posts I'm working on for the anime, Slayers. This series holds a special place in the hearts of anime fans everywhere, and I hope to showcase the best foot images the ladies of Slayers have to offer. This post will cover a one-shot character named Rubia. She was an assistant to the Atlas City Sorcerer's Guild chairman Halcyform the White. Halcyform was in love with Rubia, but she died in an accident during one of his experiments, and Halcyform, unable to cope with her loss, tried several methods to brink her back to life. In the anime, Halcyform steals the life energy of other humans in order to bring Rubia back to life; it is unsure whether the target of these experiments, the figure encased in a crystal is the real Rubia or a copy. Despite the interference of Lina Inverse and her friends, Halcyform's experiment succeeds; however, Rubia is nothing but an empty, soulless shell, who begs to Halcyform to destroy her. Overcome by grief, Halcyform casts a Burst Flare, killing himself along with Rubia. Quite the tragic character.
