Pearl and Ruby

Characters from an old story I wrote ten years ago. Ruby is the blonde one and Pearl is the one in black. They are in love with each other, and I find them lovable in a very interesting way.
The way I wrote the story, the relationship is implied and even mentioned, but since Ruby dies early in the story no one gets a good glympse at it.
And the strong feelings that drive Pearl through the story got me curious, so I revisited the idea of the relationship of the two Gems.
