Appearance
Standing at a mere 4'11", Miss Ruse is petite at best. She weighs a trim 132 pounds in her nightgown. She has pale, lightly freckled flesh, silvered, blind eyes, and cropped raven blue-black hair. She usually has her mother's earrings, a lovely gold-and-opal pair that seem to drip down like shimmering water. Her gowns are usually a soft grey or blue, with darker trim, and a tight black corset to show off her figure. She also favors hats with long plumes.

History
Ruse comes from a family of merchants on her father's side, and a seamstress on her mother's side. They were of moderate means, doing well enough for themselves to support Ruse and her older brother, and had a number of nicer items, including a shop from which they worked. Ruse lived her life in relative peace... and utter boredom as she learned her mother's trade. She had been bored blind, but gifted in a tactile sense- she could tell the difference between each fabric at a young age by mere touch. When she turned 16, her parents gave her the keys to her own shop, and a few members of staff to help her keep the place clean and safe, and to differentiate colors for her. After a year, she had begun to turn quite the profit, and found herself renting her own apartment- quite unusual for a girl of her status and age!

Personality
Fairly level-headed and friendly, Ruse is a gentle-bred girl who loves fine clothes and exploring the countryside, usually on horseback. She is polite when in the proper company, but doesn't mind accompanying those that are of the rougher track. She prefers to listen to others, and allow them to lead her, but make no mistake- Ruse is no pushover when she chooses to stand her ground.

Relationships
With her Brother: She and he are two peas in a pod- they get along very well, and she loves him.
With her Mother and Father: She respects them, but is rarely in contact of late, and rarely talks to them.

Plots This Character is Open For
Will you make me... In which Ruse is commissioned by another, who is unaware of her blindness. Perhaps friendships could blossom out of this? ((Also, I may draw your character in their new clothes, if it's alright with you and I have time to do so.))

Open to suggestion beyond that.
