Rhiann Moondancer

Rhiann, Divine Champion of Rhiannon

## Description

At first glance, it would be impossible not to realize that she is more than human. Ebony feathered wings denote her heritage as well as the aura of light around her head. Her skin is rather pale and almost opalescent. Her eyes are also an odd shade, silvery that can sometimes gleam with gold or violet. Her hair is midnight black with hints of purple. She stands of an average height, her bearing almost regal.

### Armor

She is almost always in some sort of armor, usually of a blue and silver hue. When in clothing, the colors remain the same.

## History

Rhiann is the descendant of the goddess Rhiannon, deity of the moon, healing, rebirth, magic and fertility. She was born at a sanctuary of the goddess within the fey realms though Rhiann is not fae. Like her mother, and her mother's mother, Rhiann chose to walk the path of a priestess at the sanctuary. She was gifted in healing arts but also showed an affinity for battle. She was initiated as a defender of the goddess and in the way of the sect, deemed worthy of doing the work of her divine patron.

Some priestesses are called to serve at the sanctuary, caring for those who seek refuge and healing. But others are chosen by the goddess to be placed as the goddess wishes, often in unknown lands, only instructed to follow one's heart and teachings while protecting the innocent and offering the goddess' gifts to those in need. Rhiann awoke one morning in a strange land with only her armor and weapons, laying on the soft ground next to a beautiful spring and surrounded by gentle woodland animals. She knew that the goddess had called her to this place and began the work of establishing a home with a small hospital to offer healing to those in need.

### Skills

Rhiann is a gifted healer and herbalist, her first instinct being to heal hurts. But she is also a trained fighter and took vows to protect the innocent.

### Major Flaw/Flaws:

Her life before was rather secluded as a priestess. She has aided many, curing wounds and hurts and listening to the tales of those who found sanctuary at her temple. She knows of war and of the pain and unhappiness that many find, but she has not lived any of it first hand. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty is somewhat an abstract concept for her.

### Minor Flaw/Flaws:

Compassionate to a fault and perhaps too quick to act, especially if she sees someone suffering.

## Personality

Rhiann is a rather cheerful sort, thoughtful, wise in some things but innocent in others. She is at heart a protector and healer, abuse of one she deems innocent will call forth a righteous wrath that can be at odds with her healer nature.

### Beliefs

First do no harm. Give to those in need. Punish those with malicious intent and let punishment fit the crime.

### Quirks

Loves animals and bickers with her horse Moonbeam. Is known to worship Rhiannon under the light of the moon.

### Relationships

The Wild One - an abused giant that Rhiann freed from shackles. The abused creature now stays near the Holy Spring. While they cannot communicate, both seem determined to protect the other.

Loth- the shifter who found Rhiann on a hunt. The shifter touches something in the priestess, his wounded soul holds both light and shadow and the priestess is intrigued. The fact that he takes so much joy in her presence as she feels in his has her believing that the goddess has placed them together for a reason.
