Ruby Buckton

Ruby Buckton is a fictional character on the soap opera Home and Away.

She first appeared in June 2008 with her then boyfriend Pat, after having dropped out of boarding school. Their relationship irritated her father and sister, but ended soon after her arrival. She moved in with her sister Charlie at Leah Patterson's place. Her father has developed Alzheimer's, which is a great ordeal for Ruby to cope with. Having already lost her mother, it's horrible for her to watch her father go through this. She often keeps her feeling bottled up inside, and feels pressured into being strong and hiding her feelings by people around her, especially her sister.

Ruby started talking to somebody on skype, called Skye who understood her situation, Jai and Annie then found out that it was Matthew Lyons pretending to be Skye. Ruby got her revenge on Matthew by making him go skinnydipping and nicking his clothes. Matthew got revenge back on for this by displaying her diary over the school.

Ruby has started to take a liking to Xavier Austin and has already kissed him, much to Annie's annoyance.
