### Residence(s)

Ancapistan ManorNorth Arctic Commune

Ria is one of the youngest members of Ancapistan. Loud, chaotic, and quite the thief, they live life for the thrill and want to enjoy everything possible.

A killer rabbit hybrid that spent most of their life underground, they're emotionally stunted and look to cling closely to singular things at a time to hone their focus and allow them to ignore the rest of the world. Currently, the most major part of their mindset is "Ancapistan first," which goes before friends and family. It is the group before the individuals, though this is up to change and wavers sometimes.

They currently still have all of their lives.

## Personality

### Main Personality

Ria has alexithymia, a personality trait characterized by the subclinical inability to identify and describe emotions experienced by one's self. This is most easily broken down into four components: difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty describing feelings to other people, a stimulus-bound, externally oriented thinking style, and a constricted imaginal processes.

Due to this, Ria often has a difficult time sharing how events, both past and present, affect them, or even being able to comprehend how things have negatively--or even positively--impacted them. This also contributes to Ria's difficult with expressing different tones of voice, and is a large reason for their overcompensation of emotions, somewhat forcibly displaying an outgoing personality to attempt at "fitting in" more in the emotional field around them.

Ria typically seeks out groups of people, being a very sociable creature. They feel lonely easily, though it is something difficult for them to recognize and identify other than it being negative. Despite being quite extroverted, Ria will have moments where they will go silent for long periods, though it is typically not noticeable due to often being in quite chatty social groups. These silences are typically linked to their mood swings, which can go from feeling content to hollow without warning. These dips in emotion are hard for them to understand themselves, and so they often fall silent during them.

## History

### The Burrow

From as far back as Ria could remember, they'd lived in the near pitch-dark. Stationary, and in a small hole in the ground. A burrow, typically the term for a rabbit's dwelling. There was not much room to live comfortably, nor much things to provide distractions and to pass the time. Any distractions were little gifts from outside, brought in occasionally by Ria's father. Their birth father, also a killer rabbit hybrid, spent most of his time Outside, but every now and then would return to the burrow and spend fleeting moments with Ria.

Ria's father was the one who taught her the basics of reading through picture books, cutesy little things from villages, telling the typical stories one would hear being read aloud by an elementary school teacher. This was typically the pinnacle of their bonding moments, for after a few hours spent together and being read a book to sleep, Ria's father would once again be gone when they woke up. But those picture books would remain left behind, and so Ria would spend their time reading them over and over, ingraining each word into their memory, remembering all the stories like the back of their paw. Spending all their time waiting for another new book to appear to remember, to provide a distraction from the unending mundaneness of the burrow.

Then there was Ria's mother. Also a killer rabbit hybrid, and not maternal in the slightest. Cold and distant, Ria's birth mother visited much less frequently than their father did, only stopping by briefly to bring some sorts of raw meat to feed Ria before being back on their way, up to the Outside.

The Outside was a foreign concept to Ria. Something they only saw briefly when the burrow's entrance was opened or closed, and was too bright to ever truly see before the enticing novelty was stripped away by the closing of the hole. It seemed like a fantastical world, stories told in picture books, something untouchable, bright, and brilliant. It seemed like everything good possible in the world, a type of place Ria could only long and yearn for.

But on the flip side--Ria's mother was sure to tell them that such a world didn't exist, at least not for Ria. For before Ria's birth, their parents were a part of a small ragtag group of killer rabbit hybrids that lived a migratory lifestyle, terrorizing any villages they came across and leaving them abandoned and empty behind. For good reason, many of those who knew of killer rabbits lived in fear of them, and Ria's mother made this lesson clear: those who fear come to hate, and those who hate are willing to hurt. With this reason, Ria had a mixture of feelings about the Outside: finding the endless things present in it wonderful and fascinating, but also scared of being ostracized by anybody they may come across if they ever stepped foot outside.

With this odd ball of conflicting emotions, it was essentially guaranteed for most of Ria's life they wouldn't attempt to free themselves and leave the burrow, even when left alone for long periods of time by their parents, which was most of the time.

Ria's parents had never been too interested in the domestic lifestyle, as shown by their flighty attitudes towards their own child, but their father was at least, to some degree, inclined to acting somewhat paternally. Ria's mother, however, was not at all. During the limited times all three of the family were home together, fights between Ria's parents were prone to breaking out, though Ria just attempted to ignore them to the best of their ability--whether it was attempting to reread a picture book, averting their eyes, or aimlessly drawing squiggles into the dirt, their attempts often proved to be failing.

When Ria was fifteen, there was one fight that had taken place outside of the burrow--and after it, Ria never saw their father again. No new books, and no new distractions for a long time. Only the occasional food that passed by from their mother, which seemed to get more scarce everyday, though that was nothing new. The only difference was the stretches of days with no food seemed to grow longer than ever before.

Time was difficult, especially in that last year spent in the burrow. Having aphantasia and being unable to daydream, Ria was always stuck in the present, willingly or not, and lived at what felt like a snail's place. Hearing muffled sounds from outside and living in near pitch-black, everyday the outside seemed more enticing to Ria. Especially with how starvation seemed to be settling in, and Ria had no way to truly keep track of the time--to remember how long it'd been since their mother had stopped by last. But the food was long gone, and the stretch felt longer than ever before.

Ria didn't want to waste away forever. Even if the outside was scary and horrible, it would be a new experience, even holding the potential of fun despite the many atrocities that they may bear witness to up there. They'd rather live short and glorious than long and empty. And so one day, at the age of sixteen, they finally decided to leave. Malnourished, squinting against the daylight, and tensed at every new sound seeming to echo loudly around them, they dug their way out and took their first steps on the surface.

## Trivia

* Due to Ria's issues with understanding their emotional attachments, many items others may gift them may not register as a genuine gift to them, and only an attempt to gain their favor. The few gifts that Ria can correctly comprehend, however are held in very high value by them and typically stored in their Enderchest, a special room, or even regularly carried on their person.
* Ria's eyesight isn't the best from spending a majority of their life underground, and despite loving the outside, they continue to spend more time underground than not, finding the lacking sunlight better on their eyes.
* Ria's hearing is a bit damaged, both from spending so long underground with muted noises a majority of their life, along with their ears always being tucked under a hat as soon as they left the burrow.
* Ria's clothes were stolen from a village shortly after they left their burrow.
