 BIOGRAPHY
 Ruthie is the youngest daughter (b. dec 1989) of Reverend Eric Camden & Annie Camden, named after her
 Grandmother Ruth. She attends the Glen Oak Community Church, which is her father's church. During her
 youth she was portrayed as the family sneak (usually knowing far more than everyone else in the house
 due to her ability to be in the right place at the right time). Ruthie ages too quickly over 7th Heaven's run,
 so that she starts elementary school, presumably at the age of six, near the end of the first season, but by
 the end of the tenth season she is as old as the actress that plays her and is currently 17 years old. Ruthie
 has always been portrayed as mature for her age.

 In the past, Ruthie was known as the one who enjoyed being the center of attention. Upon the birth of the
 twins in season 3, it appeared that Ruthie had lost her throne as the baby in the family who sucked in all of
 the attention. However, as Ruthie grew up, we began to see that she still received a lot of attention. She
 was also known as the one who snooped a lot, and she always seemed to know what was going on with 
 every member of the family who lived in the house.

 Ruthie was originally roomates with her older brother Simon, but then Simon moved next door into Matt's
 old room in the second season, while Matt moved to the attic and Ruthie in the "Hello Kitty room". In the
 fourth season, Mary and Lucy moved to the attic. After Mary moved out, Ruthie moved to the attic and
 lived with Lucy, until Lucy moved out of the attic and into the garage apartment with her new husband,
 Kevin. Kevin and Lucy later moved to their own house right behind the Camden's house. This left Ruthie
 alone in the attic since April in the seventh season of the show.

 During her freshman year of high school she started developing feelings for the Camden's latest house
 guest, Martin Brewer. She went so far as to tell him that she loved him, but quickly covered by saying as
 a brother. During her sophomore year of high school, she started dating older boys, hoping that it would
 eventually lead her to a relationship with Martin. Unfortunately Martin went against his beliefs during the
 previous summer and slept with a girl named Sandy at Simon's college.

 Ruthie was crushed when she learned that Martin was expecting a child with Sandy, the girl whom he met
 and slept with only once. She tried to be his friend and support him, while he was being emotionally
 unresponsive to the baby's mother, and was present when Aaron was born along with Martin and her
 immediate family. Upon Aaron's birth, Martin left Glen Oak for college and now lives near his son. This has
 left Ruthie heartbroken, though she appears to have gotten over him since spending the first part of the
 eleventh season in Scotland. After returning from Scotland in a recent episode Ruthie and T-bone have
 shared multiple make-out sessions with each other. Though her parents should be concerned about her
 being in a relationship with a boy living in their household they are very happy for her especially since
 they saw her smile for the first time upon arriving from Scotland. Reverend Camden believes is happy
 because his youngest daughter is in love with someone he actually likes.
