- -Rue on her way to Chorafi, before the Election LilRueXo, commonly nicknamed Rue, is one of the founders of the FlowerField SMP, the server’s founder, and its first member. She joined on April 9th, 2021. She had previously been a member of Chorafi before losing the Chorafi Election and choosing to live on her own in ADCrypta within the Northern Snowy Tundra.

Rue’s standing on the server remains unknown; she is known for going against Emma in the 2021 Chorafi Election and showing distaste for the Treaty of Pax. She is known for being a noble soldier while also being a tough hitman as she is the main individual in charge of looking for Chorafi’s escaped prisoner, Fayezd. There is an abundance of information about Rue that remains unknown, such as her specific alliances and motives for Chorafi following her loss at the election. Rue is known for being one of the best duelists and most heavily armed on the server.

While Rue seems to have a tough and cold-hearted personality, her secrecy is justified, considering she rigged the Chorafi Election and was instantly blackmailed by Mary. She has an unknown attachment to Mary and is overly protective of Whim.

On June 10th, 2021, Rue began construction on ADCrypta, her vault that holds many of the server’s important valuables. The build itself includes many materials needed for potential battles and could act as a suitable home if necessary. The reason for Rue preparing for battle/war is currently unknown.

Since her departure from Chorafi, no one knows of her whereabouts except for Whim, Mary, and another unknown individual.

Physiology
Rue is a human with dark skin, brown eyes, and dark-brown hair. She wears a green-and-white-striped long sleeve shirt and a green frog hat. She also wears light blue overalls with a turtle on its front and ripped by the legs, and white shoes. After being shot with an arrow by Spider in an attempt to catch Fayezd, Rue sustained an injury on her right arm. She now walks around with a bloodied bandage on her right arm that is rarely seen as she never removes her armor.

Personality
Rue is a quiet, driven, and protective individual who keeps to herself. At the start of the SMP, Rue stayed to herself as she lived in a small shack and worked alone to gear up. While having a stone-cold and isolated persona, there is an underlying kindness, as seen with her interactions with both Whim and Mary. Her determination to protect those that she cares for is especially clear as she provides both Mary and Whim with a consistent supply of golden apples and armor, while also giving each a Totem of Undying. Rue is very adamant that while it could appear as if she is absent, she is always protecting someone. This can be seen when Rue randomly appears to confront Mary after the Treaty of Pax is signed, even though no one had told Rue about the treaty's existance.

Rue’s arc of protection continues, as she is declared Chorafi’s primary Protector and was ordered by Emma to lead the hunt for Fayezd (see Rue's HeadHunt), following his escape from Chorafi. Rue’s intentions for Fayezd following a potential capture are unknown. Rue is also known to be secretive with regard to their alliances, as they have had various meetings with unknown parties that keep tabs on Chorafi and other sections of the SMP.

Rue does enjoy building as she owns many of the builds on the server. Some of Rue's Notable builds include Prime Tower, The Community House, and the Court House, and several others.

After the Treaty of Pax was signed Rue spoke to Mary and appeared visibly angry about Mary abandoning her beliefs. She recanted and apologized later on, however her overall distaste for abandoning one's beliefs became present following this incident.

Early Life
Rue is a descendant of a family that used to praise the Gods of the Sea & Titans of the Rivers. Instead of falling into the role of someone who forces government onto others, she chooses to be a soldier who fights for the people regardless of one's political affiliation. Rue has revealed on several occasions that she has joined countries/nations in the past and they have all fallen once it became apparent that one individual had a clear path to power over all others.

Rue and Whim are two of the members on the server that have the best relationship. It has been revealed that the two have been friends since before the development of Serenity, and used to go fishing for pufferfish together. The details of Rue's life between her departure from Old Serenity and her arrival to the SMP remain unknown.

First Arrival
Upon arrival at the SMP, Rue and Whim went off mining together and Rue decided that she would take on the responsibility of building up Spawn, a neutral zone where people could return for resources. She instantly began the construction of Prime Tower on April 9th, 2021, and built a shack on-site, where she lived until the completion of her home in Chorafi. Rue was one of the few individuals that had stacked up on gear in the early days of the SMP, while also building the mob-grinder and nether pathways.

Meeting Emma & Establishing Chorafi
Emma and Rue have been together since the very first day on the SMP. On the first day Rue and Emma sat on the coast of Spawn and praised Philza Minecraft and Foolish, while capturing Rue's pet turtle Michaelangelo. On this day, Emma tossed Rue an Allium, which acted as an invitation to a nation that Emma planned to build. After recruiting Twilight, the three wandered until they found a Taiga/Mountains Biome that would act as a home for the territory, now known as Chorafi.

Pranking Spider
While Rue and Spider had a neutral standing during the commencement of the server, this quickly changed once the one-sided prank war began. A chatter in LilRueXo’s stream suggested that she should’ve pranked someone on the server, and Rue quickly chose Spider as the main target. With Spider having obtained a pet cat only a few days prior, Rue decided that a great prank would be either kidnapping the unnamed creature or killing it. Rue dug a hole down to y-level 15 and placed the cat at the very bottom, covering it up as if the area had been completed untouched. On May 13th, 2021 Spider logged onto the server and spent over an hour searching for the feline around the server, not knowing it was in a hole directly below his base. On May 14th, 2021, his search continued with unexpected results. Spider found the deep hole with the cat within it and attempted to use water to retrieve the animal. The cat began drowning and died a few seconds later.

No one had told Spider who had hidden the cat within the hole, and he remained clueless following its death. A grave for the deceased pet lies close to Spider’s Swamp. Spider was tipped off about Rue being involved and killed her the same day (not canon).

Rue then spent hours running around the server, in search for a new cat to gift to Spider (which he later named Oranges), as an apology along with mending books, food, and some armor.

(see Pranking Spider)

Building a Home & Alliances
Rue lived at Spawn until her home in Chorafi had been completed. She built Rue’s Medieval Mansion on the right side of Chorafi and made an effort to befriend those that joined the nation. Rue is allied with the members of Serenity considering that Whim lives there, along with a friendship with Tessa that has been discussed by word of mouth.

The Chorafi Election
Emma brought up the concept of having an election to decide who would lead the people that lived in this new-found territory. Thus, Emma sent out invitations and even attempted to recruit some members verbally over the course of a few days.

While in Chorafi, StarryCuffs began searching for an area to build her tavern, while attempted to provide assistance. While StarryCuffs and Rue had already built up trust due to their extensive past, there was a clear lack of trust that StarruCuffs had in Emma as a leader. StarryCuffs then proposed the idea of Rue running as a competitor in the election, stating “You already have my vote!" Rue proceeds to agree to being a potential candidate, however remained weary of running for office due to her past experiences of "democracy."

Rue spoke with Whim a few days later and made mention of her uncertainty of running to be the President of a nation she didn’t even want. After some deliberation, Rue decided that she was going to throw the election. This plan was to remain a secret between Whim and Rue. In the days leading up to the election, Rue did speak with Emma about being a competitor and while the encounter did seem friendly, it was obvious that Emma was not keen on the idea of “friendly competition.”

On the night of the election, Rue wandered around spawn monologuing about her nervousness for not only the election, but for the future of Chorafi as a nation. She wandered into Serenity hoping to speak to Whim before everything began. Whim and Rue began to converse in Whim’s attic, where Rue proceeded to push the idea of Whim voting for Emma, and possibly getting her sisters, Ashley & Amelia, to direct their votes as well. Since Rue did not have any suspicions of Emma being a bad leader, she made the assumption that Chorafi would be decent under Emma's rule. From Rue’s perspective, protecting those that she loved within the nation would be easier as an isolated third-party than as its leader. Mary had planned on visiting Whim to thank her for the gifts she received, yet ended up eavesdropping on Rue's plan for the vote (see The Blackmail Pact).

At the Chorafi Election Amelia introduced both candidates, who delivered their speeches and provides reasons for why they were suitable leaders for the nation. The ballots were then counted and Amelia announced that Emma almost won by almost a unanimous vote, however, there was one vote for Rue (assumed to have been submitted by StarryCuffs).

In Emma’s celebration speech she expressed the great plans she had for Chorafi’s future, while offering Rue a position in the Cabinet. After the celebration over Emma's victory in the town's center, Rue returned to her home to ponder her future. She stated that she hoped Chorafi would've been left in good hands, while stressing tabs needed to be kept on Emma and the "Cabinet."

The Blackmail Pact
Following the celebrations at the Chorafi Election, Rue went home to recount the event and recieved a visit from Mary. Mary expressed her condolences for the loss, however, was quick to suggest that the election was not as genuine as it appeared to be. Mary mentioned her knowledge of Rue rigging the election and blackmails her with this information. In exchange for her silence, Mary asked for Rue to act as a source of protection, never leaving Mary’s side. Leaving Rue with no real choice, the agreement was made and the two exchanged gold ingots. The ingot given to Rue is named “with trust, dear friend,” while the one given to Mary is named “for protection, dear friend.”

ADCrypta
Rue made the decision to live in a secluded area away from the established territories within the SMP. She selected an area in the Northern Snowy Tundra and built a vault deep-underground, named ADCrypta. The vault contains all the materials an individual would need for survival. As of the current day no one knows of the vault's existance except for Mary and Whim, along with an unknown third party. Mary and Whim became aware of the vault after Rue gave each of them a book with coordinates in case they needed a safe place to hide.

Discovering the Ruined Statue
Following the election, Rue decided to return to Spawn and invited Whim on an adventure to catch up about what has been going on in each other’s lives. Rue and Whim embarked on a journey into the Eastern Ocean to go Pufferfish hunting, when they spoted an odd statue on the coast of an unexplored island. The statue was partially buried in sand, with a torn book hidden in a compartment underneath it. The book contained writings from what appeared to be an unknown language. Whim insisted that the book be placed back in the compartment; Rue secretly took the book and covered the statue back up. On the boast ride back to Spawn, Rue experienced a series of hallucinations ,where images of the statue and an unknown build could be seen. The two returned to the shores of Spawn and decided to ask Sunny for some pufferfish rather than returning to the ocean. Rue and Whim went their separate ways, where Rue went over to Chorafi and left the book in a chest for Twilight. In this book, Rue asked for assistance with translating the unknown language.

The Treaty of Pax
Rue was absent during the signing of the Treaty of Pax, however was seen outside of it once the SMP members were returning to their respective homes. Rue made eye-contact with Fayezd as he was attempting to sneak away, yet made no attempt to try and capture him. Mary and Rue had met up soon after, where Rue was visibly angry about the fact that Mary would even attend the signing given her views on Emma's leadership. Mary was very upset that Rue would accuse her of doing something like that. Rue walked off and stated that Mary had to begin telling the truth if they were to uphold the pact.

The Open Waters
After leaving the book for Twilight, a chest appeared at Rue's Medieval Mansion, which contained the translations made by Twilight. The book read "The entrance of the Temple of Okeanos lies where the sun meets the sea. See you soon." Rue's curiosity got the best of her as she decided to go on an extensive venture across the lands. She roamed thousands of blocks and never found any indication of an old structure. After revisiting the translation, she came to the realization that her search should be brought overseas. Soon after, Rue found a huge build underwater, with a small “crown” peeking out from the ocean's surface. Its significance at this time is unknown.
