She is strikingly similar in appearance to her biological mother, Florence Riverlight, with the only notable difference between the two being their hair colour.

Her typical outfit consists of a white shirt and olive green cardigan, she's also rarely seen without her signature round glasses.

#### **Personality**

Orla is a shy girl with a intense love of books and knowledge, a common trait of the **Riverlight Family**. She is known to shed her quiet personality and become increasingly excited when she sees someone unique in appearance, or is spoken to about something she doesn't know. Generally, she prefers peaceful and simple spaces where she can be left to indulge in a book.

Despite her quiet personality, she has been known to show a stubborn and jealous side, shown when she initially refused to hand Sergeant Feathers back to Ludovicus Highwind.

## Biography

Orla was born to Halitos Riverlight, a library owner and adventurer, and his first wife, Florence Riverlight, a researcher. She was the second daughter of the two and grew up surrounded by the thousands of books collected by her father and the **Riverlights** before her. She spent much of her time reading and absorbing information in both Orovos Library and Halitos Library while her parents were busy with their own pursuits.

When Orla was 3, her father married his second wife, Isena Riverlight. She was raised to view her as a second mother and grew up in a loving, polyamorous family believing this to be the norm.

In her late teens, Orla was permitted to begin working in Halitos Library, eventually becoming the Head Librarian due to her intelligence and skill set. However, she is regularly scolded by the other Librarians for neglecting and ignoring customers by being too absorbed in her reading.

Orla met up with the Twilight Crusaders outside Ebonhart Palace, where her older sister, Veronica Riverlight, berated Nereus Zale for treating her sister poorly and making Orla find her own way to the ball.

The pair then attended the ball together, with the evening starting off rocky due to Nereus Zale's lack of dating etiquette. With help from his guild members, he managed to turn the evening around, being more accommodating to Orla. After dancing and learning more about one another, Orla admitted to Nereus Zale that she liked him, with her feelings reciprocated they shared an awkward hug.
