Being Her first appearance in the series, Rubiss is introduced to players as a protector Goddess who operates through Her chosen ones, rather than directly intervening in world affairs. The fondness and loyalty to which She speaks of [[Erdrick]] elevates the character from but a mere ancient folk hero to a savior to whom the very gods are indebted.

Prior to the game's opening, Her influence upon the world is weakened by the [[Dragonlord]] sheathing the sky in darkness as [[Zoma]] once did. Only the Builder can hear Her voice throughout the game, and Her words cannot reach them at all in the final chapter of the game until a pious [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]]' prayers counter the malefic mist. Once the castle of [[Tantegel]] and the [[Erdrick Equipment|legendary arms]] are restored, Rubiss praises the Builder and declares their work complete--she states that She and the revived [[Alefgard]] will wait for a new hero to appear to slay the [[Dragonlord]]. When Her divine judgement is questioned, she reaffirms that the builder is forbidden from carrying out an assault on [[Dragonlord's Castle]] and ceases communicating with the player. | Prior to the game's opening, Her influence upon the world is weakened by the [[Dragonlord]] sheathing the sky in darkness as [[Zoma]] once did.

When the Builder proves victorious Rubiss admits She was mistaken, and thanks the little architect from the bottom of Her heart before musing that the [[human]] spirit is something beyond even Her reckoning. | ||
