Orube is a fictional character who first appeared in W.I.T.C.H. #28 in July 2003. She becomes a member of W.I.T.C.H., the group of teenage girls who make up the Guardians; the people who guard Kandrakar (Candracar), the center of the universe, from evil. She does not appear in the animated series.

She was a replacement for Taranee Cook, who quit the team after expressing her dislike for the Oracle for not telling them everything about their lives and their Guardianship and constantly stringing them along like puppets. When Taranee rejoined the team some time later, Orube was welcomed to stay with them and she became the sixth member of W.I.T.C.H. Unlike the other Guardians, her first initial is not in the team's acronym due to not joining the team until Issue #28. She also controls no elemental power, but she is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter. Orube was once one of Luba's pupils, and according to the Oracle, the finest of them all.

Originally from the planet Basiliade, she lives on Earth under the alias of Rebecca Rudolph in Mrs. Rudolph's old home, posing as her relative. When she first arrived on Earth, she had a bad case of culture shock and found it hard to fit in with humans.
