In her daily routine, Riona dons a meticulously crafted assassin's attire, meticulously designed with layers of fabric interwoven and secured by Velcro straps.

## **History**

### **Background**

The Aston family boasts a distinguished lineage of doctors, renowned for their unwavering commitment to healing and aiding countless individuals over the years. Yet, little known to most is the family's hidden legacy of exceptionally gifted assassins. Among them, Riona, the eldest sibling, was destined to take over the family's business. At the tender age of 16, she embarked on her path as an assassin, leveraging her unique ability to shapeshift into various creatures, enabling her to navigate in complete stealth.

As the time drew near for her to assume her father's mantle, Riona's younger brother, Luca, began to garner admiration and favor among those connected to the family. This newfound recognition fueled his ambition to overthrow his older sister and claim the headship for himself. Luca had always been critical of Riona's disregard for the family's legacy, considering her actions disrespectful to their heritage.

By a twist of fate, Riona accidentally overheard a conversation between Luca and an unfamiliar associate, revealing his treacherous intentions. Faced with the prospect of conflict with her brother, whom she cared for deeply, Riona chose a different path. Determined not to confront or harm him, she made the difficult decision to flee. Minutes after leaving the family estate, she detected a few individuals trailing her, but her adept shapeshifting skills allowed her to swiftly evade their pursuit.

To safeguard her identity and escape the clutches of a potentially dangerous succession war, Riona adopted the guise of a young man with a more delicate appearance. She embraced this new persona to blend into the shadows, seeking refuge wherever she could find it, even if it meant aligning herself with the notorious thieves' guild, taking on any odd job she could find to survive.

### **Insidious Insurrection (I.I.)**

Riona's journey began with an assignment from the thieves' guild, revealing her future companions' existence. This ragtag group, enduring harrowing experiences and loosely affiliated with one of Panton's Dons, became her focus. As she approached their location, perched upon a nearby hill, she witnessed a staggering sight: thousands of ominous black shades descending upon Enthin, followed by the colossal shadow of a giant turtle looming over the town.

Though the city's fate seemed sealed, Riona remained resolute in her quest. If her targets were still alive, she knew she had to trail them without delay. Discovering Tortles utilizing the fallen turtle's remains as their sanctuary, she assumed the guise of a druid to gather intelligence.

Soon, she discovered that some survivors had sought refuge within Enthin's cavernous systems. Equipped with newfound knowledge, Riona chose to stay near the Giant Turtle, unaware that the very group she sought had caught up to her. Seizing the opportunity, she cleverly introduced herself as "Rion," employing heavy makeup to appear more masculine. Finding camaraderie with them, she joined their ranks in a fight for a token of friendship with the Tortles. After the battle concluded and the party rested, an unexpected adversary emerged: Magnar the Blasphemous, intent on converting the tortoise into his new stronghold. Despite their efforts, the group could not overcome the seemingly invincible opponent. Riona fought valiantly to keep everyone alive, but some tortles perished.

Exhausted and plagued by distrust from her companions, particularly stemming from conflicts with Daiyu and her concealed identity, Riona's journey continued towards Riz'arion. Boarding a boat to the city, the air of suspicion began to dissipate. It was during this time that her bond with Daiyu deepened, marked by shared experiences and mutual agreements.

In Riz'arion, fate brought Riona's group face-to-face with Vulcan, a group of strangers pursuing a similar objective. Revelations unfolded, exposing a dangerous alliance between Vulcan's target and the insurrection pursued by Riona's group. United by a common goal, they fought together in a warehouse, following leads to the insurrection's headquarters, Sweet Death Inc.

Adrian, a member of Vulcan, revealed Riona's affiliation with the thieves' guild, becoming an unexpected ally as they ventured to confront the enemies in their lair. Braving battles against Enhanced beings and enduring the loss of Dariusz, the party pressed on, battered and bruised. They tracked the insurrection's leader to Il Padre's mansion, where an intense, near-final confrontation transpired.

Emerging victorious from their clash with Lotte, they finally completed their mission. Riona was promptly dismissed by her guild boss, as her task had come to an end. Yet, there was one more pressing matter at hand—the looming threat of Magnar and his giant necrotic turtle hovering above Riz'arion. United with Vulcan's assistance, Riona and her companions embarked on a daring mission to save the city from this perilous threat.

### **Post Insidious Insurrection**

Following Magnar's defeat, Riona took a decisive step towards reclaiming her life. She crafted a remarkable prosthetic leg, enabling her to embrace a semblance of normalcy once more. Empowered by this newfound mobility, she set her sights on liberating her youngest brother from the suffocating hold of their other sibling.

In a daring rescue mission, Riona and Daiyu embarked on a perilous endeavor to reunite the fractured family. Their hearts were filled with joy as they successfully rescued her brother, and the embrace of a long-awaited reunion warmed their souls.

With their mission accomplished, Riona and Daiyu embarked on a new chapter together. Their journey led them to Swanrunia, where they envisioned crafting a new life and home. Centered around Umbra's safehouse, they would lay the foundations for a flourishing business. A sense of excitement and hope infused their every step as they ventured forward hand in hand, eager to build a bright and promising future together.

## **Other**

After Lotte has fused with powers of primordial beasts, S.V.U was saved by Zaman where they could spent a whole week to ready themselves for their final fight. During that time Riona and Daiyu realised their feelings towards each other and started to date.
