Ruby is Klara and Raj’s daughter. When Ruby is born, Klara and Raj decide to go on the road and then settle in Vegas, hoping that they can make enough money to give Ruby a more stable life. Ruby is still a baby when Klara dies, and when Ruby is a preteen, Raj begins to teach her Klara’s act. Ruby and Raj subsequently book the main act at The Mirage hotel and become very successful—Ruby is the youngest millionaire in Las Vegas. Ruby enjoys reconnecting with Daniel and Gertie over Thanksgiving, particularly when she and Daniel look at old photos of the family together. Ruby also aspires to be a doctor—like Simon, she feels the burden of keeping up her mother’s legacy and instead wants to be her own person.

Quotes
He could not bear to contemplate his return to work on Monday, and what might happen if he holds his ground when it comes to the waivers. Days earlier, he submitted a request to review his case with the Local Area Defense Counsel, a military attorney who provides representation for accused service members. He knows that Mira is right—it’s best to be aware of what options he has to defend himself—but the request alone was humiliating. Without a job, who would he be? Someone who sat on a bath mat with his back against the toilet, reading about his brother-in-law’s solarium, he thought—an image terrible enough to force him to bed, so that he could fall asleep and stop seeing it.
