Background[]
According to thePub Thugs, Ruthless Ruth was one of the meanest thugs who ever lived who would go on to build and own The Snuggly Duckling Pub. The people ofCorona lived in fear of her, as it was said she would go on terrible rampages through the streets of the kingdom. She owned a spiked club called the "Listen Up Club", which she used to intimidate her pub customers and destroy anything in her path, and the crosses carved on it were believed to be the number of towns she destroyed. Little did everyone know that she secretly had a passion for writing and singing songs, and the crosses on her club were actually musical notes for a song she wanted to sing. However, she was afraid of sharing her music with others, believing that others would mock her, so she hid all her work in a secret room inside The Snuggly Duckling.
One day, she finally worked up the courage to perform her song before the entire pub, but just as she sung the first note, her fear overwhelmed her and she apparently ended up dying of embarrassment. Even in death, she suffered through doubt and fear which bound her spirit to her pub until one day someone would sing her song and free her spirit into the afterlife.
Her song, carved into her club, would not be heard until her slumber was disturbed by theCaptain of the Guards, causing her to trap and torment its residents and threaten them with death until they discovered the reason for her wrath. OnlyRapunzel was able to figure out why Ruth's spirit came back to haunt the pub. With her help, Ruth was able to finally sing in front of others and encouraged them to sing along, allowing her spirit to be released into the afterlife.
