Phoebe Rekavor

Phoebe Rekavor, the former leader of Prismara, was a bit of a loose cannon. Her former life could best be described as upbeat, or cheery. But she would be all over the place, with her main goal of befriending those around her and being a helping hand to anyone new and intimated by all the other nations around her.

But since the lose of her leg, she has become more mellow and much quieter, only speaking out loud when she needs to. However, her fundamental beliefs towards caring towards others and doing what's right has always been the same. She is always willing to put herself into danger if it means saving everyone else, usually to a reckless extent.

### Messenger Bird

Phoebe's messages are sent by a singular blue-footed sea bird named Lilma. Lilma is 30 inches long with a wingspan of around 4'2 feet. He would normally spend his time resting in Prismara's bird and mail rest stop but, after Phoebe moved to Scholar's Rock, Lilma spends his days either in phoebe's Lilac or with the birds from the Scholar's Rock Postal Service, and his nights sleeping in Phoebe's cot.

## History

### Before Soulrite

Her early life is believed to have been spent wandering the sea, collecting trinkets, learning the history of the drowned, and earning her first Merling Trident, named "The Conduit." At some point between earning her first trident and the colonization of Soulrite, an unknown force would destroy a large majority of the Merling population. Anything from a Plague, to local poachers, the a large sea beast is blamed for this tragedy. No matter the circumstance, Phoebe is the only known survivor of this culling of the Merlings, though when pushed about it, Phoebe has mentioned there are more of her kind, though she refuses to answer as to where they are.

### Prismara's founding

During the colonization of Soulrite, Phoebe decided to take claim to a small island near to where she was born and founded the nation of Prismara. Created to insure peace and prosperity between the land and sea, though it is known it is likely she did this just to help with her desire to learn about "Land-folk." Prismara became an area where she would learn how to read, write, and speak in the same language as everyone else before introducing herself to other newly founded nations.

### The Turtle Wars

While introducing herself to new nations, she entered Thaustein for the first time and met, her soon to be lover, Lancelot Mourningwood. During their visit, Phoebe witnessed the horrific way Thaustein and its people treated Turtles. She became furious with Lancelot, demanding she treat them with respect but was laughed out of the nation. The following few weeks is what she describes as "The Turtle Wars", but could be described more as a series of back and forth threats of war and violence. It came to a somewhat resolution when Phoebe wrote a formal letter to Lancelot, agreeing to apologize and make peace in exchange for the creation of a sanctuary for turtles instead of the tightly compacted hole they lived in before. This ended the turtle wars, but conflict between Prismara and Thaustein would persist well into the future.

### The Five-minute War

#### The Build up

Phoebe was a key player during the Five-minute War, during the chaos that was the marriage of Skyla Ounna and Jarka Baník, she witnessed Empress Tatiana steal the original copy of the holy book and so she followed along to try and gain an understanding as to why. Once discovered, Empress Tati invited her into being apart of a conspiracy to take down Thaustein. She agreed.

Later on however, as relations between Prismara and Thaustein grew stronger and Phoebe found herself in love with Lancelot. She decided to betray the Empress and confessed the crime to Lancelot and agreed to help him with the takedown of the Empress, this decision would lead to the trial of the Empress and the Five minute war.

#### The Trial of Empress Tatiana

After the 3rd congress had reached its conclusion, Lancelot took to the stage and began a trial against the Empress. He would site various crimes that the Empress had commited against Thaustein, with Phoebe acting as the primary witness. Phoebe was brought on stage and provided her testimony before returning to her seat, the following five-minutes would be the most significate in all of soulrite's history.

### Back to back tragedy

Soon after the fall of the Empress, Phoebe went missing for several months. For a large portion of time, it as assumed she was dead, but on day, she stumbled into Prismara with stained skin, shorter hair, and a poorly made metal leg that replaced her left leg just below the knee. She always refuses to go into detail towards what happened, but from what we've gathered, we believe she went on a short caving expedition that she told nobody else about only to get her leg trapped in a cave in. It is assumed she used the tools at her own disposal to amputate herself and then received treatment from a nearby village, returning to Prismara when she was in a good enough condition to make the journey home.

Soon after she reintegrated with society, her fiancée took their own life on the day of their wedding, which sent her into a massive depressive cycle, spending all her time in her war room drinking or in Prismara getting more drinks. She was in complete misery, with a sense of everything lost, she took an opportunity that would only make things worse.

### Hyrellion and Northwood's Takeover

After receiving an order from an old friend, she decided to work as a contract mercenary in the hostile takeover of Northwood. In doing so, betraying the last of her friends and family. When asked, she refuses to explain why she decided to do this, but it's believed the people she joined in fighting against Northwood were the last people that cared for her.

After realizing the horror she caused in helping Hyrellion, she openly renounced being a part of it and fled to Scholar's Rock to make amends to for what she did.

## The Present

Phoebe Rekavor is now a citizen of Scholar's Rock, assisting other Scholar's with their needs while also working on poetry about her new fiancée, soon to be wife, in her free time. We believe this is a point where she settles down, she doesnt make any promises of future plans of her own, just living out the rest of her long life with her wife and found family at Scholar's Rock.

Phoebe Rekavor was killed in action during the Synthesis Arc, when she was fatally shot by Raine Illus's Browning M1917 rifle. Memorials to her were erected in Scholar's Rock, Northwood, the Common Market Area, and Prismara. Public opinion of her after her death was relatively high, with most sides seeing her as at worst a Private Military Contractor, and at best a complicated individual who was looking for a place she belonged.
