Rey'na has soft and delicate, yet defined features. She stands with a strong posture and chooses to wear the most beautiful clothes she can. It is, of course, all a facade. Her smile and eyes seem bright and cheerful, yet those with the ability to see through it will see that the smile is false, masking something else. She stands at about 5'9 with a curved physique. Her laugh is as delicate as her smile, but all of which has a very subtle undertone of pain. Beauty masks what really lies beneath. Her eyes glow blue faint blue, no longer that of Lisirra's mark, but of her real mothers instead.

Having finally rid herself of Lisirra's mark, Rey'na is now in a calmer and more stable place. While she still fears her past and the Immortal of Plague, her outlets are healthier. Her smile is now genuine and warm, instead of forced, and she does well to hide her rough past from anyone. This doesn't, however, make her isolated - it does the opposite. Rey'na loves making new friends, and will do everything in her power to do so

At birth, Rey'na's father ran away from home - taking Rey with him. As such, she never met her mother, and still knows nothing of her to this day. Through her childhood, she was constantly on the move, staying in tavern after tavern for seasons on end. Her father worked as a mercenary, freelancing to earn just enough money for a tavern and food. Because of this, she often spent time alone at the tavern. Isolation became a common thing, and silence was almost comforting - it meant she was away from the scum that was her father. Even at a young age, she never trusted him. He was a dangerous man who drunk and gambled and lost all of their money doing it. She hated him more than words could ever say.

At the age of ten, she lost her father when he was enraged and attempted to poison someone - only to find out the poison was entered via the skin through contact. He died in front of her. When Rey’na saw this, she started to sob. Despite how harsh her father had been to her, how hard her life was, she still wanted someone to look after her. She looked at the poison that had killed her father and cried. Under her breath, she cried for her mother. She never knew who she was, but she wanted her. She wanted her mother to come back. Sure enough, her prayers were answered, but not in the way that she had hoped. Lissira showed herself to the girl, appearing with a gentle but sadistic smile. She comforted Rey’na, telling her that it was okay and that her true mother was here now. Lissira was amused by the idea that she could convert this girl to her forces after she had just watched her father die of the same thing she would one day learn to master. Lissira offered her knowledge and power, the ability to get what she wanted when she wanted it. The young girl, scared and afraid, took the offer – thinking this was her only chance. Lissira made the offer knowing she would take it, knowing she had another easy servant.

Lissira told her that before she could think about obtaining this power, Rey’na had to do a few tasks for her. She gathered some apples in a basket and inserted a poison into them, then gave Rey’na the basket. Her task was simple – hand out some apples to the people as a gift. Following blindly, Rey’na gave out all twenty of the apples she had, before returning to the Inn and being greeted by a smiling Lissira. When Lissira told her to look out the window at the streets, she saw a few people she had given apples to, dying and choking. As she looked, Lissira planted the egg in her head. With it, she ordered that Rey’na run to a new city and make her own way, learning the art of poison as she did so. In panic, Rey’na grabbed her father’s coin purse and ran, her new mark taking control and her eyes glowing faintly. Despite the fact it had killed her father, the overwhelming feeling of having a mother figure combined with the egg planted in her head changed her perspective. Her father was scum, and now he was dead - quickly and effectively. With poison, and with the help of her 'mother', she would rid the world of all the scum like him.

Through her teenage years, she found herself in Rynmere - Andaris particularly. She spent a lot of time on the streets, with no place to say. Because of this, she immediately got herself some gear. With the coin she stole from her fathers corpse, she bought herself a dagger - one that was enough to keep her safe. At all times, she kept it strapped to her in it's holster. Fortunately, while she was on the streets, she never had to use it. At the age of fifteen, she got a job working for a small group - doing mercenary work. They trained her up, and when she said that she wanted to use daggers they had a man teach her to use both daggers at close range and thrown. With some training, she was able to use them decently enough. While she was on the streets, she used to listen to a man that would perform music. He wasn't insanely good, but Rey'na found beauty in his music. She never had much courage to talk to him at first, but after some time she finally introduced herself. The one thing the egg had no effect on was her sense of beauty. No matter how insane, sinister or dark she may have gone - she was always looking for beautiful clothes and songs. This man provided her with the latter. She introduced herself, and he did the same, going by the name of Iden. For an entire Vhalar, she would visit him every day.

Eventually, the mercenary that trained her fell for the fifteen year old girl. In her head, the voice of Lissira told her to stay with this man despite the fact that she didn't love him, so she did. The man was in charge of the band of mercenaries, and it turned out he had a fair amount of money to his name. He was powerful, well equipped and authoritative - a leader. Effectively, he was using the people for his own gain, and they were too stupid to know any better. Perhaps Lissira wanted her to stay with this man for the fact that he was sadistic, sinister and manipulative. Along with this manipulation, however, came the loss of a friend. It was demanded by her boyfriend that she stopped visiting Lowtown to see Iden, and during that time she didn't see her music-loving friend anymore.

Her boyfriend bought her a house on the conditions that he was allowed to visit it when he pleased. For the sake of having the house, she accepted, and not much came from it. When he tried pulling a move, she declined and he accepted - albeit bitterly. For a Season, he was with her behind closed doors. Until one day he came over and wanted her to cook. She'd never cooked in her life, and so she went out and bought some food that could be cooked easily. As she did, Lissira spoke to her again. She told her to go to one of the stands and buy a vial of liquid that looked a lot like a cooking material. She did, and then put the ingredients away in her bag. When she cooked it, Lissira made her douse the meat with the vial, and ordered her to eat none of it. She did so, waiting for him to take a bite. A few mouthfuls and half-hearted compliments later, and the man was bleeding from his nose. Shortly after, he started to cough and wheeze, until he had choked while bleeding from his orifices. Lissira was pleased, and Rey'na even more so. She was told that the poison was a plant called Ricin, the juices drained from it. It sparked the selfish side of her that the egg brought out. She had a house now, one of her own, and the throwing knives that the man had with him. As well as that, his money. She lit a fire and burnt his body, showing no respect whatsoever for it. It was for convenience, not respect. She left the ashes where they lay to blow away in the wind.

Now that her boyfriend was dead, she decided to start to visiting Iden again to listen to his music. It was soothing for her, when she wasn't making poison or training to fight. Rey would visit him every other day, devoting the days beforehand to training instead of wasting time as she knew she would get distracted. One of the days she visited, his instrument was stolen. Rey chased after the man that stole it and got it back, having to threaten the man with a dagger. Her fierce, glowing eyes and the blade against his neck made him give it back. It was perfect. She seemed the hero, nobody would even look twice. She went in the empty alley after the man, and the next thing the crowd knew she had come back and saved it. The perfect cover up. After that, her and Iden spoke more and eventually he invited her to his house. As their bond grew, their trust grew with it. After two Arcs of meeting almost daily without fail, Iden finally revealed his true race to Rey. Feeling she should trust him back, Rey invited him for the first time ever to see her house. When he came, she told him all of her 'mother' and the work she did. An alliance was made, one that Rey believes will never be broken.

Since then, she's been living in the small cottage outside the walls of Andaris. Appearing as a normal house, it's conveniently out of the way and surrounded by nature - perfect for making toxins. Her favorite toxin is the same one she used on her 'boyfriend' the Licin plant.

This house is amazing! Constructed entirely from Harvardr wood and Egilrun glass, this is a truly Scalvorian home! With an open plan interior and massive windows, the two-floor wrap around decking means that inside and outside blend into one in this lovely, individual home! Viewing highly recommended! Details: 3 bedrooms, 2 receptions, lots of decking. Large garden.

  • Masterwork Dagger
    
  • Combat Spear - Windsong
    
    Windsong is a masterwork spear, with the handle being steel. Adamantite was the metal used for the blade, giving it an incredibly sharp edge and point. Crystalline coats the entire spear, causing it to glimmer lightly and appear to be made of crystals, as well as giving it a beautiful light blue color. When it slashes, it makes a beautiful whistling sound, hence the name Windsong.
    
    Masterwork Shield - Sunguard
    

Arthropods - Born of Insects:
Altering her body in strange and weird ways, Rey has the initial power to grow four legs out of her like those of a centipede. Each of these are coated in a chitin but thin with sharp ends. These sharp ends assist her climbing, as well as functioning as weapons. However, each of these are thin and vulnerable to blunt weapons and the process to unsummon them is incredibly painful, leaving a painful burning on her back where the legs had grown for two breaks. This power will last half a trial. Losing these limbs in any way will hurt like any other injury would, but will do no lasting damage. The strength skill will increase the damage these can do, and while Endurance can make it less painful it will not make the legs any more durable than they already are.


Persona - Faceless:
When her powers awakened Rey was met with a dark tragedy, her face fading away from her and leaving blank skin. While her voice can be heard and her eyes able to see, there is nothing but flat skin. However, Rey is able to use any mask remotely shaped like a human’s and meld with it, shaping it to any face she can picture. This will give her a new face, able to be changed once a trial. Removing this mask will leave her faceless until the next trial, meaning she is stuck with whatever face she chooses for that trial. Any mask can be used for this so long as it resembles a human, though having no mask will mean Rey is faceless until she can get a new one.

Venom - Vipers Kiss:
With her mother’s blood running through her, Rey’na has control over venoms. At any time the girl can choose a part of her body to coat in venom, no bigger than her hand. Anything or anyone that makes contact with this body part will be met with a fast acting venom that paralyses on contact and kills if it enters the bloodstream. This power lasts for five bits at a time and can be used once a trial. Every time this ability is used it leaves Rey with a sickly feeling a break later, causing her to vomit and for her to go lightheaded. These negative effects last for half a bit. Attempting to use this power twice will cause her to throw up blood and leave her weak for the trial when the second use wears off. Both venoms take a single bit to take effect and the paralysis will last up to a break. A resistance of Competent will mean the poison doesn't kill them in their bloodstream, but immobilises them. Expert or above will negate the venom from working. This venom can not be harvested as it is effectively infused with her body, and no attempt to do this will work.
