## Personality

Ria is great at putting clues together to form a (generally correct) conclusion. She doesn't make assumptions and questions everything, trying to understand every angle of a situation. They're sometimes too thoughtful, faer inaction a weakness in some situations. Fortunately, Ria can think quickly on her feet, but often needs to be forced by the situation to do so, since fae prefers to have all the necessary information before acting. Ria hates being underestimated, and while her down-to-earth and contemplative nature makes them a great group therapist, fae can whip out a good comeback when needed. She also has a good deal of empathy and takes responsibility for their friends' well-being, acting as of the "big sister" of the group, in a way.

## Appearance

Ria has wavy dark brown hair with blond highlights that falls past her shoulders. They have a heart-shaped face with soft eyebrows, full lips, rosy cheeks, and slanted honey-brown eyes. Faer skin is tanned, and she's of average height, standing at 5'6". One could tell Ria is blind by looking at them, with faer eyes noted to be blank and unfocused. She doesn't put a huge emphasis on their appearance, not able to see it anyway, but fae is known for being considered attractive.

## Power

Ria is a psychic, and while psychics' abilities are more varied than elementals', hers are still unique among their peers. Fae is able to sense and manipulate awareness, and even use it to get around despite being blind. While she still can't see, Ria is aware of their surroundings because other people are as well. As of now in the roleplay, the power is still undeveloped and can't be switched off at will, but Ria hopes to gain control of it with training. In addition, they have enhanced senses like all psychics, though faer blindness means that she relies on their other four more than the average psychic.

## Relationships

### Clover Brooks

Ria and Clover have a positive relationship. They became friends right away, and they're now pretty close despite knowing each other for less than a day. Clover also had a crush on Ria pretty much immediately, which Ria is still oblivious to. They went to one of the school's twelve libraries to talk to Woodrow, and they later checked out their dorm together. After going to Asention's room, the two talked about what they'd give to make their lives better. Ria and Clover are both sensitive and act as the group's therapists while not really talking about themselves, but their conversation didn't get too far. During their first specific studies class, Clover panicked and lost consciousness, with Ria staying by aer and looking for her when they ran away.

### Asention Lyraria

Ria and Asention are pretty close, even though they haven't known each other for very long. They've had a few deep conversations together and clearly consider their friendship important. The two starting talking at a lunch table and later went to a library for some quiet, but they ended up having a conversation with Woodrow.

### Nico Paganini

Ria and Nico aren't too close, but they're friendly enough. They both have an ability which had never been seen before at the Shelas Institute. Ria's interest in learning new things also pairs well with how much Nico already knows about the school, as well as his tendency to infodump.
