Ry'anya

Anya

**"If you come seeking my aid, I strongly suggest that you do not insult those I care about or my chosen family."**

## Description

A tall statuesque female, stoic and beautiful with long silver hair that is tidily braided around her head. Her expression is often serene, pale skin at times showing slight hints of pink. Her emerald eyes are fringed with thick lashes and most often show kindness or compassion until she is in grip of some strong emotion.

### Armor

She favors colors of deep midnight blues and purples, accented with pale lavenders and silver. Her outfits vary, clothing when in the temple, and light armors when out in the world.

### Arms

She is most often seen wielding a staff with a blue crystal.

## History

Anya, as she now prefers to be called, was raised in the temple of the goddess Rhiannon. While this was something that was ordained from birth, it did result in a horrible tragedy for her family. Her mother's brother chose this time to betray his sister in the worst of ways. Anya's father was tricked into believing that Anya and her mother were dead. In his grief he was compelled through magic to retreat to his native plane, bringing Anya's twin brother with him. Her uncle then chose to engage her mother in a battle that resulted in the deaths of both of them, leaving Anya alone.

The temple elders taught her well, the powers from her bloodline honed to make her into a powerful priestess and oracle. Anya dutifully fulfilled her potential. But she never forgot her twin and used the knowledge afforded to scry his whereabouts. At first she could only watch her brother's struggles, unable to aid him. But in time, she chose to break the rules and try to intervene. All in attempts to give her brother a happy life...with a mate and friends.

But her efforts led to tragedy. Her brother was forced to see his mate and friends off the world she had placed him in. He used drastic measures to save all he could and rejoin them. Seeing his death imminent, she tried to offer her own life for his. She awoke in his tomb, reunited with him in this place called Arvandor, the wound in her chest healed, but weakened of many of her gifts.

### Skills

She is a healer at heart, a scholar of medicine and magics. She does sketch and sometimes makes healing potions.

### Vices / Flaws:

She loves good food. She is naive of normal life, innocent of many things. She can be socially inept and shy, known to hide her emotions behind a stoic mask.

## Personality

Stoic and serious, she is seen to be kind and perhaps wise. Because she is often quiet and serene, some may mistake her as haughty or cold when in fact she is shy. She often seems content in her solitude and standing, though her excitement at learning new things betrays her yearning for more.

### Beliefs

Allow me my small bits of chaos so that I so not succumb to greater ones. I am not the potter but the potter's wheel, an instrument of the goddess I serve. Try to do no harm, but do not hesitate to protect those who require your protection.

### Relationships

#### Khalidek - The Captain of the guard who has already claimed the secretly romantic heart of the priestess, the two now carefully courting.
