Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

In the climax of Ruby Gilman, Teenage Kraken, Ruby’s pursuit of her true identity takes a drastic turn when she discovers Chelsea’s real allegiance as Nerissa, the vengeful Mermaid Queen. Chelsea, who had seemed like a friend, was secretly manipulating Ruby for her own revenge, aiming to seize the powerful Trident of Oceanus. Realizing this betrayal, Ruby feels heartbroken and overwhelmed as Nerissa’s scheme comes into focus, and she finds herself trapped under a pile of rocks. Her mother Agatha quickly leaps into action, joining Ruby’s grandmother, the Warrior Queen, to rescue her. This act of love and sacrifice highlights the deep bond between mother and daughter, showing that Agatha chose to protect Ruby from the endless conflict between Krakens and Mermaids, even if it meant risking her own safety. As the family reunites, they unite their forces to face Nerissa in a fierce battle. Combining their powers, they confront and eventually defeat her by destroying the Trident of Oceanus, which was the source of her power. Ruby’s decisive act of breaking the Trident symbolizes her growth—she no longer seeks vengeance but understands that true strength lies in protecting others. By defeating Nerissa, she not only ends her reign of terror but also bridges the gap between the ocean and the surface world, fostering a new era of harmony. Through this journey, Ruby embraces her dual identity as both a human girl and a Kraken, learning that she can protect the ocean while still living her dreams on land. The story concludes with Ruby generally accepted by her friends and family, feeling confident in who she is and ready to face her future, including attending prom, as she stands between two worlds with pride.
