Ruby, seconds before being kidnapped by Konk.

In Densetsu no Starfy, Ruby was out with Moe in the Coral Reef when Konk, who was enjoying the great weather, lays eyes on her and is immediately smitten. He kidnaps her and says that she'll become his bride, but an incredibly angry Moe tries to stop him. Unfortunately for him, Fork and his brother come across a "tasty clam" and start to chase and bully him. Luckily, Starfy, the fallen prince of Pufftop, saw Moe being bullied, aided him (to his chagrin), and agreed to help him save Ruby. They then confronted and defeated Konk, allowing them to save Ruby

Ogura's illusion of Ruby

Main Game

Starfy and Moe encounter Ruby outside of her house in Gluglug Lagoon, but Moe realizes that she seems down and asks her what the matter might be. She explains that Puchi Ogura #2 attacked her, and the twisters that they conjured up blew away some of Ruby's favorite furniture. Moe, furious at the Puchi Ogura, vows that he'll get Ruby's furniture back, while Starfy, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care. Moe yells at Starfy, saying that it's shameful to ignore those in need, and says that he'll have to go get her furniture back as punishment. Moe turns away and asks if Ruby would like to go on a date with him, to which she responds that she can't think about that while her furniture is missing, prompting Moe to rush Starfy to gather the three missing items. After retrieving her Vase of Roses, Coral Table, and Seashell Chair, she thanks Starfy for returning her and unlocks a door with a treasure chest behind it as a reward, inside of which is the Gaudy Garment. Moe tries to keep asking her about their date, but after she goes inside her home, he rushes on ahead through the newly unlocked door, clearly upset. During the events of the fourth stage of Ogura's Castle, Ogura made an illusion of Ruby to lure Moe into a trap. After taunting him and leaving, Moe, seething with rage, tells Starfy to find 4 keys: the Diamond, Spade, and Heart keys, to free him so he can "pay Ogura back for this 100-fold".

Post-Game

During the post game, if the player talks to Ruby, she wishes Starfy luck on finding the treasures strewn about the sea.

In Densetsu no Starfy 3

2-1

Arriving at Ruby's house in Coral Coast, Moe says that "her Moe" has arrived, but gets no answer and learns that there is no one inside. Starly asks who Ruby is before Moe corrects her by saying that she must refer to her as "Mr. Ruby" and that she is his future wife. After some squabbling, Starfy sees Ruby taking her luggage and entering through a door. However, Starly notices that she's dropped some of her belongings into some coral. Moe tells Starfy to pick up all her lost items (her Perfume, Hand Mirror, Compact Mirror and Necklace), so they can give them back to her. After retrieving all of her belongings and arriving at Ruby's new house, Moe introduces introducing Starly to her, and attempts to get her to thank them (or really, for her to thank him). However, much to Moe's disappointment, thanks the trio for getting her things back and gives Starly her old Necklace as a reward.

Ruby appears again in the third stage of Coral Coast, where she wonders if Moe's Family are safe playing outside. He says that they are, since they have the key to get back to safety, which relives Ruby, saying that they'll be fine since they have the key and the password. Moe stops and asks about the password, as he had never heard of one before. Panicked, Moe begs Starfy to find his siblings and save them from the monsters on the outside. After saving Moe's baby brother, little sister, and little brother, he breaks down and apologizes for letting them be in harms way. He apologizes to Starfy and Starly, telling them that he'll have to stay behind and take care of his siblings instead of continue on their adventure. But Ruby offers to take his place instead.

In the final stage of Coral Coast, Ruby catches up to the trio, exclaiming that Ogura had flown overhead, summoning monsters that are currently rampaging throughout the area. One of these monsters, Buirun runs away from the group, and the trio hurriedly chase after him.

4-1

Ruby is found in Cupid Village, explaining that she came to the village after hearing a strange rumor. She tells Starfy, Starly, and Moe that she heard that Cupid Village's treasured Cupid's Bow and Arrow had been stolen and that Moe's siblings were the culprits. Moe snaps out of his stupor for Ruby and yells that it couldn't have been them, then rushes off to confront the person who put up their wanted posters.

4-2

After resolving the issue and returning to where Starfy and Starly initially talked to Ruby, they can't seem to find her. However, she creeps up to them, laughing eerily, and asks what the matter is. Moe runs up to Ruby(?) and starts to compliment her before demanding to know who this imposter is. Being found out, Akureima dispels his disguise and reveals that he has kidnapped the real Ruby. After saving her, she thanks Starfy, gives him the Fur Coat as a reward, and wishes the trio good luck on this dangerous adventure of theirs.

Post-Game

During the post game, if the player talks to Ruby, she comments on how nice Cupid Village is and considers moving there. Moe exuberantly asks if she's saying that she'll start a new life with him, but Starly tells him to calm down, and that no one said such a thing.

In The Legendary Starfy

In The Legendary Starfy, she appears in Skydye Heights, taking a vacation. She gets gobbled up by a Fluffy Unu, she gets kidnapped by Snips, and she tells Starfy to obtain a Rainbow Droplet so she can cure Ronk and Papes.
