Ruby - A vixen having beef with Sapphire enters the Tournament

I just love reviewing skins of other reviewers and now it`s time to take the first skin by our reviewing and fan-fic-artist Starry Might.

The Facts:
This girl comes with a pretty dark and well contrasted suit and real bright hairstyle. Due this one is a real evil one you shouldn`t ask her if the hair is colored unless you`ve written your testament and having deathwishes or something similar.

When taking a closer look (much closer than you`ll ever get in battle) you can recognize her eyes shining through the glasses, a real nice effect.

The teamcolors are very bright, well covered and even a half-blinded player should be able to recognize the affiliation to a ceratin team.

Personally I`m a fan of cool in-game portraits and this arrogant looking one is really great!

And last but not least is the bio (as usual) very long, detailed and cool. Really worth a read!

The Pros:
+ Up to 4 player Battles are supported
+ Nice colorsheme
+ Cool eyes effect in shades
+ Real arrogant yet sexy portrait
+ Great bio
+ Even the readme is nicely written and gives some additional info

The Cons:
- The textures are splitted in 2 parts (there might be problems for players using older versions of CTF4). This feature was only ment to be used for upgrading older skins with "only" 2 TCs to 4.
- Mainly it`s a recolored skin (This doesn`t bother me, but for some it does - so it`s mentioned here)

The Bottom Line:
Fans of skins with contrasted color shemes or MerFemB-Maniacs should instantly get this nice gal.
All other`s should try it out, they won`t regret it

TOTAL SCORE: 7/10

Added with my über mod powers hehe :)

I'd though have to give it 6.50 due to it "only" being a mainly recolor. I know she put alot of wor in it and I know what it is like to recolor skins. You know I've been doing that too hehe :)
It's for me a keeper to keep my skins flavored with good colors and contrast. Nice skin for a beginner Starry ;)

6.50/10

8/10, even if you don't really like the Mercs, she's still worth a download.
