## Profile

### Past

#### Pre-capture

Ria, daughter to Goldoan soldiers, Nero and Aura, grew up moving from place to place for several years of her life. She had a love for books and reading about the thrilling tales of past heroes. She eventually moved into the home of her aunt Kaya and uncle Rama who lived in a quaint village. There, Ria met her childhood friends, Rose, Reneé, and Kat.

As the years went by, Ria grew into a young and eager spirit, craving for adventure and the knowledge of ancient lore.

#### Capture

One day, Ria wandered into the outskirts of the village in hopes of proving her strength to those she regarded highly. She was suddenly abducted by poachers and placed along with many of her kind.

There, she was aided by a young dragon by the name of Alastair, who helped in freeing the younger children. When it was Ria's turn to escape, however, things went astray, and both she and Alastair were apprehended by their captors. Their actions did not go unpunished and Ria was forced to witness as Alastair was beaten to a bloody pulp and left for dead.

She was then taken away and sold as an experimental subject to "doctors." For many months, she along with many others had to endure the horrific experiments they conducted, and she was eventually rendered speechless due to the trauma inflicted upon her. These series of experiments were soon put to a stop when word of them was brought into the public's eye.

#### Post-capture

Ria was later returned home to her aunt and uncle after being rehabilitated. They, along with her childhood friends, were stricken by grief and heartbreak at the sight of her state. She was now just a shell of her former self.

Several years of silence passed, and Ria had still not shown signs of returning to her previous ways, despite the effort of her friends and relatives. She was often found staring blankly at a book or out a window. It was after a rainy season when Kaya decided on taking her to a valley of flowers. Seeing that Ria focused her attention on some of the flowers, her aunt began to explain their meanings and symbolism. Something within her began to spur, and Ria started bringing miscellaneous flowers to Kaya, insinuating that she wanted to know more. As time passed by, Ria, slowly but surely, began show more and more emotions, bringing back that spark of life within her.

### Present

Ria still lives with her aunt and uncle, along with her close friends. She did not completely revert to her former self however, but instead became a fun-loving and carefree spirit. Her infatuation with flowers grew into love, and she began to explore many places in search of flowers she's never seen before. Although she still does not speak, you can often hear gasps of excitement and little noises she makes when expressing herself. Ria is often seen frolicking in the markets with her friends in tow, bringing joy to those around her.

## Personality

When Ria was younger, she was shy and reserved, and was often seen with her head in a book. Once she settled in with her maternal relatives, she began to become more confident in herself due to the encouragement of her childhood friends, Rose, Reneé, and Kat.

After her capture, Ria went into an emotionless state of silence for 3 years.

Nowadays, she has a lively and outgoing character. She is oblivious to many things and often attempts to do outrageous exploits, but they are normally prevented with the help of Rose. In her dragon form, she acts like a little puppy. Ria is not afraid to approach anyone and is greatly fascinated by things she's never seen before.

If her trauma were to ever be triggered again, she would start panicking and struggling, trying to escape the grasps anyone who tries to calm her down. This is also one of the rare moments in which you can actually hear her voice again. However, it is only due to her screaming and begging for 'no more'.

All in all, Ria is a carefree spirit who's wish is to make everyone happy.
