OKAY so something i thought of last night:
born-kestronians are initially born with a red-violet-colored blood, but when they turn somewhere around 15, their blood either turns silver, or gold, and gold is very, very rare, and means that particular kestronian is an heir to the throne in whichever kingdom they were born in. basically, only eight are born every one hundred years with gold blood, and they usually show signs even before it turns that color, such as they're taller than the average kestronian child, and their abilities develop quicker and stronger (however, they undergo training so they don't Fuck Up Real Bad because with power like that, they could cause some serious damage, even if it's the ability to heal). + some kids are early bloomers, and some are late bloomers, which is where i tie this in with my Big Main idea for ruby.
- ruby's blood is still red-violet (or, until he turns eighteen, i'm thinking), and he feels like a disgrace, to say the least. there's been no kestronian who's been this late a bloomer, and he's started to think he's the only born-kestronian whose blood won't change like it's supposed to.
- i'm thinking, though, that when he turns eighteen, right on his birthday, something happens where he scrapes his elbow or his knees, or SOMETHING like that, but nothing too big, and the blood, at first is regular old red-violet, and he thinks nothing of it, but when he peels away the bandaids to change them, GOLD. his blood is gold, and he just,,, he just sits there and starts shaking and his eyes are as wide as saucers, before he jumps up with his arms in the air and just shouts joyfully. and then he realizes, oh boy, it's gold, not silver, and he has to sit down and put his head in his hands like "oh my gods, this isn't right? it can't be?? i don't look like a royal and i surely don't act or seem like it at all, otherwise. this is impossible!" and has an existential crisis lmao. probably asks someone to pinch him because he's heard that's an Earthly Custom or smth (':
