Ramona

Ramona

*"“I think everyone’s life is sacred and worth saving. I don’t know if I really have the right to ultimate judgment- no, I know I don’t, but I refuse to stand idly by and watch people throw their lives away."*

Ramona is a member of the Adventurer's Guild, played by @sifu\_celina.

## Appearance

Ramona stand at 5'9" and is well toned. She has brown eyes, lightly tanned skin, and dark brown hair. She has an inverted triangle face and kind eyes.

## Personality

Ramona is a paragon of wisdom. She is highly empathetic, perceptive, self disciplined, and uses common sense- something she often finds no one else in her group wants to use. She is hard to shake both physically and mentally. She is rather intelligent and well read on various subjects. While she can be charming, she is more introverted, and sometimes finds that despite her insight, she can fail to persuade someone to see the light so to speak. Her perceptive nature and kind heart are her most notable traits. Ramona is endlessly curious and enjoys reading and training. She is highly religious and enjoys a very close relationship with Lathander.

She can exemplify the worst parts of a quest for self improvement and perfection- being a workaholic and having self hatred and being extremely self critical. She has gotten better over the years, but these tendencies can still rear their heads. She can be too kind hearted and can hesitate on a killing blow. There is nothing wrong with relying on diplomacy and always trying to find another option other than violence and death, but when it comes down to it, she still hesitates. She also thinks everyone should strive to get better- she doesn't mind people who are content and would never push a farmer to be a doctor if he was happy- but she cannot stand people who just complain and refuse to fix things that are within their power to fix.
