Rue is an anxious, observant kid who mainly keeps to themself. You will often find them somewhere with very few people, such as down by the rock pools or halfway up a large pine tree. They get embarrassed very easily and are extremely passionate about the wilderness, using any excuse to explore or go camping.

It is difficult to tell whether Rue is a boy or a girl. When asked, they'll just grin and raise their eyebrow. Rue can be frustrating, and hard to understand as a person, however if you gain their trust there is nothing they won't tell you. They know all the nooks and crannies of the cliff side, and where the roots are buried under the grass. They can find their way through the forest with their eyes closed, and will do their best to teach you how to do the same.

Rue is extremely self conscious, and gets along with bugs more than classmates or family. They have short, crazy birds-nest hair, wide, observant grey-green eyes and too many freckles to count.

Rue is so fucking gay and they don't know what to do about it.
1: "What's up with Rue?"
2: "Who knows? They're probably planning to eat the rich or some shit."
1: "Wait... Are they talking to the fucking sea?"
2: "Weird ass kid."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
