Ryanne Ueno

## History

She was no different from the average nymph, a dark one, a nymph all the same. She was chosen, part of a deal between her master and a witch. She became part of a collection, she gawked at and made to perform using her abilities as some sort of entertainment act. She was sold off when she used her abilities in self defense. She became an experiment, one of few to survive, the harsh conditions she was kept in was monitored to test mental and physical thresholds. She underwent a magical surgical enhancement procedure that combined her life source with her physical body. Darkness was always part of her, it could take the form of a solid object outside of her body as well. It was a weakness no nymph should have. It allowed someone else to control her abilities and to control her. Ryan could not be separated from the staff that contained her life source or she would cease to exist. If the staff were broken, she would cease to exist, if the staff were wielded by another she was under their power unless the was able to regain physical possession of the staff once again. She struggles with powerful individuals and considers anyone sensing the power within her to be suspicious.

Quétier Whom was a direct descendant of the Montrose family, and a Time Traveller. He was the son of a Dark Witch who convinced him the best use of his abilities was whizzing and warbling his way through life with all manner of different companions by his side. He left a Dark One behind somewhere in the 21st century. He met her in New Zealand in the 19th century and took her to witness Hunter-gatherers in Paleolithic times. They got into a fight, she attacked him. Where it was in time that they landed he did not know, and he did not care. He told her he never wanted to see her again. After such violence against him he left her stranded in a time and in a place she was not from. Ryan had a hard go at trying to figure out the language barrier and struggled to find anyone who could comprehend enough of her English. She also had to find a way to demonstrate her abilities without being able to converse. She was slowly becoming excellent at a self-invented sign language that mimicked pantomime and was easier to understand. She met an Angel with a gift for speaking in tongues and it changed her life as she knew it for good.

For at least a few years she has had something similar to family in Tason and Syndra. Without trying or even planning for it to happen they way that it did the trio clicked. Quite naturally they all gravitated toward one another. Tason was finishing his seventh year at the academy when he met Ryan while she was starting her first year. He was amused by the feisty little spitfire, as a matter of fact those were his exact words to her. Syndra was living at the academy as a sanctuary, fully aware of her powers she did not need classes she needed a safe haven. She and Ryan had a connection that was based on their powers more so than personality.
Tason graduated as Ryan began her second year, she was going to drop out, Syndra stuck around to keep her grounded. Syndra and Ryan formed a stronger bond without Tason around all the time. It became much more sisterly than motherly. Ryan asked Syndra to stay on as she started her third year. Noticing Syndra spending more time with Tason outside of their time as a trio she told Syndra she did not need her to hang out anymore knowing she would Syndra with Tason full-time.

### Personality

She is mean, there is no way around that, she is not however unfriendly. She will greet someone with an insult wrapped up in a compliment. She can say things that are terrible and mean them, she can also say things that are uncharacteristic rather sincerely. She is so talented that she can hurl a confusion better than anyone. She is arrogant and overly self-confidant. She believes in herself and most definitely puts herself on a pedestal as a defense mechanism She has no faith in the people around her, everyone is suspicious to her and she thinks people only befriend her to steal her life source. She is combative and and forceful, she is aggressive and obnoxious. She will not hesitate to kick or punch someone in their chest as soon as she would do the same to their face. She is not the type of person to stab someone in the back during a fight as a first instinct, she has too much self respect for that. She would stab someone in the back during a fight as a last resort if they would not stay down after every other strike she had to throw.
