## Overview

Ro is one of Aeris' Writers, along with being the Key of Hope. She's a feisty- yet friendly- person, willing to fight to the bitter end in the name of what's right. This attitude makes them a perfect host for Hope, previously held by a goddess named Theia before she died. She has a quite prominent stutter, but it has never got in the way of her ability to make her point. They are a Writer, though they do not have Creator abilities- meaning they can write others' stories and bring them to life, but they cannot bring their own to life. She can, however, take Narrative Liberties, making a few changes to the story as she sees fit without turning it into a completely new story.

## Pre-Aeris

Ro led a fairly normal life in her home dimension, aside from being rather creative and having an unusual knack for writing. They were happy, with their family and friends, until their reality collapsed when they were 9. She managed to escape last-second, though she didn't know how she did, and she landed in a vast expanse of nothing. ??? soon found them there and took them under its wing, and the two quickly began working together. ??? would supply Ro with stories to write, though ???'s stories tended to be grim. Ro began making copies of the stories, taking Narrative Liberties to make the stories less harsh since she understood the characters were people too. Eventually, ??? found Aeris and The Writers and joined them, but he told Ro she had to stay behind and hide. As ??? continued to visit The Writers, she'd come back to Ro with stories of how insufferable The Writers were. Despite this, Ro wanted to visit and be a part of The Writers. ??? would later defect from The Writers, giving Ro their opening to do so.

## Aeris Initiation

By the time ??? defected from The Writers, Ro had all but figured out that they weren't the best person. When she found out what happened, she decided there was no better time to finally drop in. As they entered The Writer's Void, they were greeted by Writer, Regina, and later Yori. She explained her experience with ??? to them, and the three welcomed her to The Writers with open arms. This position would soon make its responsibilities clear to Ro, as Midge would be killed by Surprise disguised as Sam a few days later. Both Ro and Micheal were quick to respond, Sam following not long after. Upon seeing how distraught Sam was, Ro made a vow to avenge this death and make sure Surprise would never hurt anyone else ever again. Once they had the Midge situation under control, Ro took Frankie's axe and went to PartyCo. She hid in one of the dark cells and waited for Surprise to come back, and she ambushed him as soon as he did. Despite their best efforts, Surprise quickly overpowered them. He grabbed her with one of his tentacles and attempted to strangle her, which she retaliated against by biting chunks out of it. Noli soon appeared, saving Ro and taking them back to Aeris.

Despite Noli's warnings, Ro attempted to return to PartyCo later on. Instead of being brought to Surprise's domain, they were sent to Ocean Terror. There, she met Goodpuffer, who she made quick friends with. After a fair bit of convincing, Goodpuffer finally agreed to open a gateway to another Somnium, not knowing it would take Ro to The Forust.
