Lia Ruuna

## Trivia

* Lady Lia Ruuna is an actress, celebrity & model, the sister of Korra Ruuna and the best friend of Princess Maria Salvatiore. The two of them are both secretly involved very closely with the Septim's Chosen cult and used the false excuse of attending the Winterhold College in the Winterlands as an excuse for their continuous absence from the Kingdom. While both of them are indeed students at the College, they only rarely truly show up there to study.
* Using Maria's access to the Kingdom of Libra's vast fortune, it became trivial to keep the ruse on-going indefinitely, as several of the professors were bribed to tell stories of Maria and Lia's active presence at the College.
* Lia has successfully completed the 1st degree from the Winterhold College, gaining her the title of Magister. She is currently undergoing the 2nd degree.
* She also has the informal title of Champion of Brill for her continuous efforts over many years in providing assistance to Brill Village from the Capitol against the rising Monster problem. More specifically this refers to rallying the Monster Slayer guild and other powerful Guardians to venture to the region in their free time and contribute in any way they can, Lia held entire public campaigns themed about raising awareness and support for Brill Village, which has over the years greatly contributed to their continued survival.
* Despite hailing from a wealthy family, she chose to pursue the path of a Guardian, much like her sister Korra Ruuna, sharing the belief that change cannot come from politics, a true leader has to fight alongside the Kingdom's forces.
* As part of her Twilight Manipulation's harsh side effect, over the course of years her eyesight began to become worse and worse, until finally she went fully blind at the age of 19. Before this, Lia was a powerful Guardian that had already made a firm name for herself in the Kingdom of Libra and its associated regions. Maria suggested that she pursue politics after she became blind, as that is one way she'd be able to make an impact in society despite her condition. Finding no other choice, she was forced to became that which she fought against all her life prior, just another politician who makes decisions from the safety of their home without ever actively joining the people in their struggles.
* Through her never-ending wish to regain sight, but sight that actually surpasses normal human vision, she took on several shady partnerships and bargains, such as the Septim's Chosen cult of Archemare and the Kumiyo Clan from The Heavenly Land. Her intentions were rarely of malicious intent, as she does actually have the best interests of Libra at heart, but her desperation began to manifest in progressively poor decisions that sometimes also severely backfired.
* In present times, Lia is a well respected international diplomat, having negotiated in the name of Libra against powerful nobles and even Kings and Queens themselves. Her personality is described as firm and relentless, she's shown herself capable of standing up to persons who greatly outrank her and still coming out at least partially successful, seemingly always finding the right thing to say and use against people who consider her powerless or beneath them.
* The Septim Gods promised her new sight as her reward for serving faithfully, for which she has performed many horrible acts over the years.
* After the fall of the Septim's Chosen cult, Lia advanced her partnership with the Kumiyo Clan, considering it a safer and more likely to succeed approach.
* Secretly, she's been training under Amarante Kumiyo, in order to be able to live more freely with her blindness and perhaps even use it to her advantage one day if she can master the Spectral Sight technique. In exchange, she has been handling specific tasks for the Kumiyo clan in the Kingdom of Libra and beyond. It must be noted that Lia has not made a Divine Oath and is not a student of the Order of the Heavenly Fist, this cooperation is strictly of a business nature. Because of this, she also hasn't been taught any of the principles of Illumination, rendering her journey to achieve Spectral Sight much harder, which is also a key reason that she's made very little progress even after several years of training.
* Lia's most known feat as a Guardian is striking down an A3-Rank criminal on her own, despite the power rank difference, through very clever use of her abilities. Additionally, she is known for killing a S-Rank Monster with the aid of her sister Korra Ruuna. This is possible due to the unique property of the Twilight Manipulation, which injures and damages foes on all levels of their being, including physical, spiritual, emotional and so forth. No mortal enemy can survive many strikes of the Twilight Element, even if they technically outrank them by a smaller degree. However this effect also partially applies to the users as well, if they are mortal, which manifested as Lia's blindness and Korra's physical injuries.
