Ruby (Japanese: ナナ Nana) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime who appeared in Snack Attack. She runs the Seven Grapefruit Islands along with the help of her staff.
For some time, the Grapefruit Islands were experiencing a problem with the grapefruit disappearing. Ruby believed that it was the work of a thief. When she saw Ash and his friends picking grapefruit, she believed she had caught the thief red-handed. However, Ash and company managed to convince her that they weren't and they decided to join forces to find the real thief.
This so-called thief was actually a Snorlax who was eating mass amounts of grapefruit and was even tearing off and eating the branches on the trees. Ruby did her best to travel to the other islands in order to pick all the grapefruit so Snorlax couldn't get them. In the end, Ash captured Snorlax with the help of Jigglypuff.
By some miracle, wherever Snorlax went, new grapefruit trees began to grow, presumably because he would inadvertently sow the seeds as he traveled. When Ash and co. said their goodbyes, Ruby gave them candied grapefruit peels which Pikachu and Togepi enjoyed.
