Author Saori Kumi (久美沙織) wrote a three-volume series of novels revolving around the Goddess Rubiss before the creation of [[Alefgard]] in 1992 called ''Dragon Quest - Seirei Rubis Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説). Cover art for all three novels were painted by Mutsumi Inomata, and these illustrations were the only official depictions of Rubiss beyond Her in-game sprites and a single guidebook image until the release of {{DQStars}}. | |||
The novels detail Her past before Her apotheosis, when She lived in the spirit realm of Ideen as the heir of the Karikutisu family. The Karikutisu clan is one of the five great houses that rules over Ideen and has power over the element of fire; this station is reflected in the family's signature red hair and red eyes. Rubiss is shown to be lovers with a spirit named Diaruto Kentoropige (ディアルト・ケントロピーゲ), a member of the house of Koridoras which governs the element of earth. The name Diaruto Kentoropige is an alias the spirit must use in place of his real name; due to his mother being a human from the surface world he is denied any inheritance from the Koridoras family and is forbidden from using the surname of Koridoras as well as his given human name, which the family deems unclean. | |||
Various circumstances stand in the way of the lovers' happiness and the two elope, an act that coincides with additional conflicts that leads to the collapse of Ideen and the spread of evil throughout Alefgard. By the end of the series Rubiss assumes Her role as an earth Goddess and Diaruto abandons his connection to the Koridoras family by embracing the human name his mother gave him—Erdrick (ロト). Erdrick's half-human nature leads to him passing away from age, but the lovers remain bound by fate as Erdrick continuously reincarnates and finds his way to Rubiss as the two battle against the evils they are partially responsible for unleashing. | |||

*With the exception of the design used for ''Dragon Quest of the Stars'', Rubiss has consistently been depicted with red hair since the 1996 remake of ''Dragon Quest III''. This might be a homage to Saori Kumi's novels which compare Rubiss' hair to a blazing fire. | |||
