Reesis Arya

Reesis

## ***— Reesis, Goddess of Light***

*Unfortunately she died on earth and was reborn into the world of Hiraeth to the Elyenora Clan where she trained as a Soul Guard but later on she changed to an Oracle. The clan’s specialty was light magic, but they all were weak and were easily drained by using it, making it a useless gift. Unlike the rest of her clan Reesis could use this magic with ease and without restriction making her a very powerful being that got a lot of attention throughout the land. Later in her life as she started to pick up quests, she met a man from the Fortaare Clan, an evil and vindictive group of humans that had the unique skill to use Dark Divinity, and with it bend darkness itself to their whim. The man she met went by the name of Erith Fortaare and as time passed by he dragged her deeper and deeper into the palm of his hand, as she slowly fell in love with him easily being manipulated.*

*This is when the “Massacre Of The Elyenora” took place. Once Erith got Reesis out of the picture he killed all 14 members of the clan leaving Reesis with nothing but blood and tears. This is when Reesis changed, within the span of 5 years she went from being benevolent, sweet, and even naive, to a cunning, sharp-minded and ruthless fighter and planner, her charity running dry for her enemies. She had only one goal in mind; “Massacre The Fortaare”. As she started her intense training with this new mindset, Erith rose to the top of his clan and once people noticed how dangerous this clan was, people started to worry.*

## **Personality**

Reesis is exceptionally kind-hearted, even for a goddess. She can easily sense other people's emotions and tries her best to be empathetic to all those around her, displaying a combination of serene beauty and acceptance. If someone is in trouble, especially towards her creations, she would not hesitate for a second to do anything that she could to save that person. She rarely holds a grudge and is always willing to forgive anyone who does injury to her. Even though Reesis tries her best to be as kind as possible, occasionally she can become very insecure and sad, if confronted with an implication that involves others in one way or another. Situations (due to misunderstandings) occasionally cause her emotions to be conflicted between wanting to stay with Keiichi and thinking he does not want her to stay, and whether she should return home. At times like these, only Keiichi can bring her back to her senses by telling her that he wants her by his side forever. Reesis also displays quite a bit of naiveté in the series, often being ignorant of the intentions of those around her who would cause her harm. Though Belldandy can be naïve at times, like any other girl she gets jealous - though unlike other girls, because of her powers her jealousy can be a little explosive, letting out a blast of powers, like causing the weather to change.

While this is primarily accepted as her usual personality, Reesis was noticeably less naïve and more “normal” in early manga chapters than in later depictions, particularity in the anime and ova series. These traits of minor impulsiveness and annoyance were eventually dropped altogether.

## **Backstory**

The Goddess of Light, the current ruler and guardian of the world of Hiraeth. At first she was a gentle, shy and caring person, but the passage of time has made her manipulative, vindictive and vulgar, all tempered together with an indomitable will and a keen wit. She uses any means necessary to keep the land of Hiraeth safe even if it means risking her life, carrying this world in her own hand. She often displays a cold-hearted demeanor, but in spite of this she greatly cares both for the people of Hiraeth and Hiraeth itself making them top priority - Always putting herself dead last. Prior to being the god of the world of Hiraeth, she was in fact a human that lived on earth, growing up in the country of Japan. Unfortunately she died on earth and was reborn into the world of Hiraeth to the Elyenora Clan where she trained as a Soul Guard but later on she changed to an Oracle. The clan’s specialty was light magic, but they all were weak and were easily drained by using it, making it a useless gift. Unlike the rest of her clan Reesis could use this magic with ease and without restriction making her a very powerful being that got a lot of attention throughout the land. Later in her life as she started to pick up quests, she met a man from the Fortaare Clan, an evil and vindictive group of humans that had the unique skill to use Dark Divinity, and with it bend darkness itself to their whim. The man she met went by the name of Erith Fortaare and as time passed by he dragged her deeper and deeper into the palm of his hand, as she slowly fell in love with him easily being manipulated.

This is when the “Massacre Of The Elyenora” took place. Once Erith got Reesis out of the picture he killed all 14 members of the clan leaving Reesis with nothing but blood and tears. This is when Reesis changed, within the span of 5 years she went from being benevolent, sweet, and even naive, to a cunning, sharp-minded and ruthless fighter and planner, her charity running dry for her enemies. She had only one goal in mind; “Massacre The Fortaare”. As she started her intense training with this new mindset, Erith rose to the top of his clan and once people noticed how dangerous this clan was, people started to worry. An Honored One decided to pay Erith himself a visit when he was alone and to the world’s surprise, Erith killed that man with ease not even using a spell or divinity. Erith was also a rebirth and he had grown immensely to the point where it was time for him to ascend to a higher level, to that of a god. At this time Hiraeth had no current guardian or god but the spot was open for whoever could ascend. These types of ascensions are why the rebirth system was put in place, for beings who were raised in the land to take over with immense strength, but of course those beings all didn’t have good intentions. Erith ascended after a very long time and he became a god in the flesh, sending the world into an age of darkness for thousands of years. Reesis on the other hand was still training even through the darkness. Her clan had many skills - but the second one they were known for was the ability to not age after 25 years, keeping them young and immortal for some time. After many many years passed throughout all of this darkness a beam of light could be seen and that light was Reesis herself. She finally ascended and now the fight for Hiraeth was up as she fought Erith for 78 hours eventually sealing him and taking place as the new god and guardian of Hiraeth.

Her current job is to watch over Hiraeth and make sure everything is well, of course the divine council ( A group of all the superior gods ) created a new rule after Erith and Reesis fought during the end of the zero age. The new rule was that gods cannot enter the realms they occupy without a mortal body which made life for Reesis a lot harder because she is forced to watch all of this go on since she only has one mortal body. The second rule that was placed down is that more than one god can rule over a realm but they must be permitted by the head god of that realm. With these rules in place Reesis has been watching over the land of Hiraeth closely waiting to see if the beings she gave power to could stop Erith from bringing down calamity again or if not, then she would have to come down herself to stop yet again the second war.
