Areeah'Ta

Areeah'Ta (Arriata, anglicized) is an Onaeyo from Eden. She is an Agent of the Oress’Kai, the Onaeyan security council, taking care of affairs regarding the hiring of mercenaries, keeping in close contact, payments and providing them with information for their missions. This is the most exciting part of the job to her, which is driven by her very curious nature.

She likes to maintain an aloof and well-composed appearance, picking up subtly on information as each meeting with a client is also a secret interview for her, sending the information back up to important members of the council.

Arriata likes spending her time at bars when she gets the time, oftentimes picking these places as somewhere to meet clients, at least this way she can hide it behind the guise of work, but really if she can relax in a lounge bar with a drink she’s set. She tends to loosen up off of work hours, but still has trouble talking to others about herself, rather preferring to hear about others than.

## Background

### Early Life

Arriata was born into the Ta lineage, a family already working for various Onaeyan councils, and much like most Onaeyan children, she was raised in part by various people in her family, but especially so as her parents were very busy. She was born on the first Onaeyo colony, Oshinye; their own moon, where a surprising number of the more koi-patterned Onaeyo live.

She was homeschooled alongside her siblings, with which she had varying degrees of closeness with. She was the eldest child, and so was always expected to pass on knowledge to the others, which she enjoyed, liking the idea of responsibility.

### Work Life

Much like her forbears and family, she opted to join a council for work; the Oress'kai specifically, the same council her Dad had worked under. The first lot of work was enjoyable to her, she started small but soon worked her way up to a Security Relations Agent, liking the idea of meeting others in the field, alongside the spying, aspects of espionage and to fuel her curiosity more, the information that came with it.

Her job is not without its boring aspects, which has jaded her, often requiring Arriata to spend hours of the day researching in office spaces, compiling information, and arranging meetings which are often cancelled and rearranged only a matter of hours later, any time she can get away from the desk is time well spent in her eyes, often seeming like a fidget when preforming repetitive tasks.

With security becoming increasingly tight over the years, interesting tasks have become more uncommon as a result, meaning Arriata had become quite bored in her job, outside of the occasional contact pick up, not much work has been assigned. She passes the time practicing calligraphy, an art form she enjoys for its flow and relaxing movements. When very sad however she has a habit of buying a potted plant, which started from a co-worker gifting her one as a get-well-soon gift, her desk is now surrounded by the things; she struggles to confirm when enough is really enough.

### Present

Things have started to look up with her workflow however, with a sudden surge of space pirates and cultist groups attacking supply paths or small colonies for their resources, the demand for mercenaries and intel has been the highest in years. She has found herself honing in on one particular group however, the Kitten Crew, headed by an infamous cultist known as Lucy. Although being a scary time, she nervously anticipates the work she can put into it.
