Ruliya (ルリヤ Ruriya?) is a minor character in the 86 -Eighty Six- series introduced in the Fragmental Neotony: Misericorde prequel story.
She was the gunner of the Stiletto Squadron as well as the assigned scapegoat of the squadron before Shin's arrival.
Appearance[]
Ruliya was a petite and skinny girl with a timid face, roughly the same height as Shin despite being five years his senior. As a Deseria she had dark skin and reddish-brown eyes.
Personality[]
Ruliya was shown to be very shy and weak, she wanted to help Shin when he was bullied but couldn't out of fear as she become the target of harrassment again.
Background[]
Due her heritage Ruliya was ostracized by other Eighty-Six, because the Deserias were seen as "outsiders" alongside Orientas and Meridianas.
At some point she was assigned to the Stiletto Squadron, she was again chosen as a target of harrasement so the rest of the squad could vent their frustration. Shin joined later and due his imperial blood he was a better candidate as scapegoat and Ruliya was left alone.
One day Shin was being harrassed by Mirei and other processors, Ruliya asked Isuka if he was going to step in, to which he answered by asking of why she didn't do it since she had "a heart of gold", the gunner was left silent as the captain kept talking about how Shin was their precious scapegoat and how he shielded the Deseria. She eventually left to search for a towel for the young boy.
It can be assumed Ruliya at some point died in battle, becoming one more of the many comrades whose memory Shin would carry.
