ABILITIES | POWERS: Ruka is able to see spirits, but that's about all. Without her Camera Obscura she doesn't appear capable of exorcising them or anything like that.
As a descendent of the Tsukimori Maidens, her music has the ability to soothe agitation and in particular the Moon Song, which at this time she can only remember snippets of, can help trigger lost or buried memories in people
PERSONALITY: Ruka is dedicated and driven. As a child she studied piano and this continued well into her adulthood. She is studious and hard-working, practicing and honing her skills. It brings her peace and also brings her closer to her lost memories, as well as being a source of peace for the others. Madoka talks about Ruka playing for them often, which implies Ruka keeps touch with them and cares about their well-being. Even despite her mother making her promise to never return to the island, Ruka returns anyhow to help her friends--and herself--with recovering the truth of what happened there in the hopes of saving themselves and each other.
It's this dedication to her craft and to her friends and family that helps save them in the end. Ruka is able to remember most of the lunar melody and her ability to read music helps her put together the rest of the song needed to "calm the moon" and clear the Moonlight Syndrome.
Ruka is also shown to be very caring and kind, even from a young age. She constantly worries about her father working so hard, and even as an adult she worries about his spirit and what happened to him. Instead of being angry and upset with how he treated her and caused her to develop Moonlight Syndrome in the first place, she's more concerned with figuring out why he was doing all this and what his thoughts were.
Ruka is curious to a fault. While it's natural to be curious and inquisitive about some things, Ruka can't leave well enough alone. Once she gets it in her head to figure something out, she'll stop at nothing to see it through the end. While in away this is a good thing, it's also what led her to returning to the dangerous island of her childhood. Her mother's pleas forbidding her from going back weren't enough for her to quit.
Also thanks to her father and to the Moonlight Syndrome, Ruka is wary of things like masks, mirrors, and the moon. She also likely has some unease with hospitals and the like, but generally, despite having the daylights scared out of her at every turn, she's learned to manage her fear quietly. Mostly so she doesn't attract unwanted attention from other ghosts.
