Crescent Rose

Crescent Rose is Ruby's weapon of choice. It is a High Caliber Sniper-Scythe (HCSS), a hybrid between a scythe and a rifle. In order to use Crescent Rose to its fullest potential in melee combat, Ruby must fire a shot immediately before a swing to increase the power of her attacks. Crescent Rose can fold up tightly for easy transportation and for convenience, stored underneath Ruby's cloak, at her waist. Although Crescent Rose can fold into the form of a gun, which bears a small resemblance to a shotgun, it does not have to be in that form to fire. It is unknow what advantages there may be in its compact form besides ease of transport. It appears to be a bolt-action weapon.

Crescent Rose appears to be a highly advanced technological piece of equipment, being able to freely transform from its compacted self, to its gun mode, to a full scythe quickly. As its name implies, its color is rose-red with black trims and the blade is crescent in shape, which is likely due to Ruby's customization or it being specifically created for her.

Trivia

 * Some fans have been known to call this the "scythle" or "rythe" (as in, "writhe in pain") as a callback to when Red vs. Blue's Agent Maine first obtained his Brute Shot, which one soldier commented upon seeing it "Is-is that a knife? A rifle? Kn-Knifle?"
 * Ruby seems to have no difficulties with 'unsheathing' it or extending the scythe's blade, suggesting that Crescent Rose is mechanical and can operate itself.
