Rylie

## Royletta G. Biv

**Royletta Greenwich Biv** or **Rylie**, formerly known as **Assistant**, is the protagonist of Gloomverse. She ran away from home after a fight with her parents, and started working for Wallis Gloom after seeing interviews in an advert. Up until the magic show, she was well known for being magicless at her age, and her primary goal was to learn magic by working for Wallis.

## Appearance

Rylie has brown skin, black eyes, and rainbow dreadlocks. After the magic show, her left leg is gone from the shin. Before Wallis, her hair was black, long and straight. Her typical outfit is a black sweater with black pants and shoes, a red belt, a black bowtie. After the magic show she wears her hat, which is a black top hat with a red band, and ties her pant leg where her missing leg is. Her first outfit was the same but was a black tank-top with black bracelets.

Her magic show outfit is a black vest with red buttons, long black fingerless gloves, black shorts, long black boots and a long black tailcoat. As well as her belt and bowtie.

Her Steamverse outfit is a brown vest with long sleeved white under shirt, red buttons and belt, and brown pants and shoes.

## Personality

Rylie is an energetic, friendly and playful person. She can be quick to anger especially with Wallis, and is known to have very exaggerated expressions and mannerisms. Aside from her occasional outbursts she's pretty relaxed and is seen as lazy by a lot of her friends, and is typically seen as weird or awkward by strangers. Although a little lazy, she is very determined when it comes to her goals, and is usually just misunderstood by onlookers. After the magic show and due to her feelings of abandonment, she is shown to struggle with depression and low self esteem, as well as insomnia due to her extreme nightmares, but usually covers it up by acting positive. Her true goal seems to be to simply fit in with people and to have loving friends and family.

## Relationships

### Wallis Gloom

Wallis is Rylie's boss and (previously) idol. Before she met Wallis she saw him as most people did and thought he was amazing because of his magical abilities. After being hired she immediately saw his more irate and unstable side, and found it hard to adjust to. When getting closer to the magic show Wallis eased her anxiety by telling her he was scared too and that it's okay to make mistakes but it doesn't mean she's a failure. When Cake Girl appeared he told her to get somewhere safe showing that he cares about her wellbeing. It's also revealed he hired Rylie because he sympathized with her having no magic, as Harold didn't gain magic for a while and magicless people are treated very cruelly. Despite their arguments, mostly from Wallis being hard on her, she views him in a brotherly way as seen in her dream world and still idolizes him but in a different sense. When Rylie reunited with Wallis, he was the only person to treat Rylie the same after the accident, which made Rylie feel less pitied. After Wallis ran away from the group, Rylie was the one to run after him and comfort him, telling him no one hates him and how much he helped her when she was kicked out. She also said she enjoyed his true self much more than the persona he puts up for others. Overall, Wallis and Rylie have had the most developed relationship and have influenced each other the most throughout the comic.

## Magic

For most of the comic, Rylie lacks magic despite being a seventeen-year-old. However, after the magic show, her hat is given to her presumably by the Dark Overlord. Her hat is a black top hat that is thin and tall, with a red band. Her wand is long with a light blue handle, the end being an arched rainbow consisting of primary colors that has clouds on either end and on the bottom of the handle. Her magic seems to be color based, but her full power is unknown as she's only used blue and yellow. When using magic her hat changes as well, and her hat will change to the color along with her eyes and smaller details on her (i.e. belt). Blue magic gives her strapped boots that have large wings on them, and lets her jump extremely high by simply touching the ground. Yellow magic gives her fingerless gloves, and seems to give her incredible strength.

## Trivia

* In her earliest design, Rylie was a white male. In beta versions of the comic she's given brown skin, and eventually her gender is swapped.
* Her full name is an abbreviation of RGB, which suits her color theme.
* Her hair is very inconsistent, easily changing between panels.
* She likes darker aesthetics and hates bright colors, which made her first night in Cake Girl's old room difficult. This is also why she hated Wallis changing her hair.
* She loves drinking tea, even when it's hot outside.
