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.
