It's been a while since I shared anything from my comics, so I did this between commissions!
Ruby is one of the 6 main characters in my wheelchair basketball comic I'm working on (and honestly, she's one of my favourites)! She's an Eastern Quoll who comes from a family of athletic high-achievers and Olympians, and is under a lot of pressure to live up to their expectations in a world that doesn't see her as equal to her other athlete relatives.
Ruby is a high-pointer, meaning that, on paper at least, her disability has less impact on her ability to play - though not necessarily on her day-to-day life. This is an especially important distinction to make for Ruby in particular, as her disability (EDS) does impact her daily life and does impact how she plays, but not in a way that neatly fits into wheelchair basketball's points-based classification system, which causes some...issues for her later in the series.
