Early life
Suys spent her youth in Vancouver, in a musical family, particularly fans of rock'n'roll in the vein of Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and Frank Zappa. Beginning with piano at age three, she picked up the guitar at about 8–9 years, referring to the repertoire of Simon & Garfunkel in particular. At the end of primary school, she got her first guitar from her parents. In her teens she appreciated bands like Motörhead, Slayer, Metallica, Plasmatics, KISS, Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. But Suys' main female influences are embodied by Nancy Wilson of Heart and Wendy O. Williams.
After High school she moved to Saskatoon where she attended the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, graduating at the top of three classes and a Magna Cum Laude honor. While in Saskatchewan she created artistic bronze castings and also spent some time on a farm driving tractor. After getting married to Blaine Cartwright and moving to the U.S. he convinced her to start a band with him.

"When I play I barely even see what’s going on around me. It’s like I’m hypnotizing myself or something like that with the volume, and I’m just breathing in really deep and I just fill myself up with the sonic bombast. I have my eyes shut half the night and I basically see obstacles if I’m lucky, like 'don’t hit your head on this' and like 'don’t step in this hole in the stage' or whatever. I know where things are, but usually I just 'go away and disappear into my own little world'. It’s up there with really good sex, you know." –from Ruyter's Facebook Fan page (see link below).
Also known for the sympathy towards fans, Ruyter answers to comments fans make and gives attention to almost all fans after gigs.
