"Bella wants to show you something.

A panel on the wall opens, revealing a glass window. Beyond the glass, there is water.
Orange light filters through the shimmering waters. It would appear this room is very near to the surface.

Every day for over a year now, Bella has had to watch the sun rise and set, from just barely below the surface. Strapped to this wall, right next to the exit, able to watch the outside world, but never touch it.

...This time you have to make the right choice."



One of the SADFACE-est moments in Ruby Quest.
If you still haven't read it, DOOO ITTT. D: (Warning: not for the faint of heart.)

I really wanted to draw Bella, because she's one of the most ambiguous lookin' characters in Ruby Quest... and I had an urge to draw weird machinery crap.
Also, Bella wins the shortest-screen-time/most-sympathy award. STOP MAKIN' ME SADFACE, BELLA. D:

Oh, and I realized that Ruby Quest STILL has the ability to make me incredibly paranoid, even though I haven't looked at it in a month. Just looking through the save files for a picture of Bella was enough to freak me out for the entire night. THANKS, WEAVER. |:

Ruby Quest, Ruby, Tom and Bella belong to Weaver.

... I just started reading all of this today and I got to this part and I was like "NOOOOOOOO."

This picture is really quite amazing... The sunset is beautiful and Bella is really an interesting character... In fact, you are the one who actually made me realize she's a mouse. I thought she was some... sort of moth thing... xD

Ruby's Quest was amazing <333

I felt so sad and terrible for Bella, but sort of relieved that they were able to put her out of her misery. I'd like to think that she's someplace better, somewhere even higher than the sun now =3

Poor Bella... 'Cannot Self Terminate'. Loyal to a terrible, terrible system 'till the end.

Wow, this really shows effort! How long did it take you?

I... should really get just another Fan-pic done. Just as another tribute.

Hmm, actually, I don't really remember how long it took... xD I don't really register the time if it's fun to draw (which this was). But I'm pretty slow at drawing, so a few hours, anyway... xD;

And yes, you should! Ruby fanart is dying out. >:
