A young Ruth.
Ruth is a minor character in the series, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. She is voiced by June Foray.
Background[]
Ruth was a beautiful and much desired woman in her youth, and was asked by many eligible bachelors to marry them. She always baked pies for the "Stormalong Pie Eating Contest" until she got eaten by Bubbie (along with her pies and oven) by mistake.
She spent the years following her consumption baking the same pie over and over again to stay sane. A short time before her release from Bubbie she took up knitting, Jabbing her knitting needles into the whales insides when she wasn't using them.
An elderly Ruth.
Sometime later, Bubbie experienced pain from the needles and sent her ward Flapjack to investigate. Flapjack met Ruth and discovered her needles were the cause of pain. Ruth was remorseful and stopped before she decided to teach Flapjack to bake pies to occupy their time, and the smoke from the oven (in addition to the horrible ingredients Flap uses) causes Bubbie to throw them both up.
After many decades, she was finally free and reunites with her suitors. Each man resumed their efforts to propose and she accepted all of them, much to their joy.
