Personality

Raewyn is generally polite to strangers and friends alike. Despite this, they are a very serious person, and generally well-spoken, especially when speaking of a political or military matter. To strangers zi may seem cold or distant, often lost in its’ own head. When anyone talks about topics they enjoy though, they start opening up more and even share more personal details about themselves. Raewyn never has much physical contact with people outside of combat, so hugs and other physical contact are foreign but not unwelcome depending on the person. When the topic of religion is brought up, she is generally friendly about it but if someone mentions the Black Pantheon in a negative light they will generally try to change the topic or exit the conversation completely.

Early Life Events

Raewyn was born in a forest close to the coast in Okutoro during the 9th dynasty. She lived a simple life of helping her family tend to their land and participated in their closed practices worshipping the Surrogate of Fate, among other deities. She was very intelligent at an early age, her parents did all they could to purchase it books and writing materials.

Around the age of 25, she sparked an interest in government and military affairs, often viewing the hustle and bustle of other nations at war. She took it upon themselves to learn combat and some inherited magic from her parents. That was until her parents volunteered to fight and work during one of the other nation's many conflicts.

She lived by herself in her home for many years, tending the land by herself and continuing to educate herself with the piles upon piles of books she had either bought or received. She was forced to learn the ways of her magic alone, to master her ancestors' gift. Neighbors would check on her, worrying for her safety and sanity in those years. One day she received a letter, noting that both her parents had unfortunately died amidst the chaos of war.

Recent Life Events

By the maturing age of 50, she realized she wanted nothing more than to make better ways of aiding in war, rather than to prevent it. But during this time of intense studying, is when Tsu came to power. The dark fog grew so thick over her village that she was forced out. She eventually moved to a larger town close to the main castle, biding her time by writing about the effects of war and strategy, some titles including, "War: Effects on the State and the World", "Successful War: Through Power, Strength, or Strategy?"

She sold her books all over, and for years she was an admired author, whilst still practicing combat in the background of her literary work. Through this time she wrote a small personal narrative about the death of her parents, which incidentally did not sell many copies, called "Through the Horror of War".

Many years later, as zeir books got more and more popular, they were one day approached by Okutoro military forces and asked if it would like to join them. Of course, them being so invested in this since childhood, accepted with great determination.

Raewyn, though already experienced, went through military training and earned top scores in all they did. And soon realized, as well as other people realized, she was extremely persuasive. But people always wondered, would her beauty and persuasion be a path to her glory or her downfall?

Present Life

In recent years, around age 175, she had been promoted to Okutoro's head strategist of the military. It helped plan the best courses of action not only for their own nation but as well as neighboring nations. Zi had been mainly tasked with gathering information about ongoing conflicts between nations.

She also is focusing more on her religious practices and connecting with zeir deities. They keep a personal journal with writings of the information they gather and the mental hardships it goes through. Worshipping some members in the Black Pantheon is not public info, and she prefers to keep it that way.

Although it has become fairly wealthy by the selling of their books, unknowingly of many national leaders, Raewyn sells the information she collects to greedy criminal organizations all across the land. She believes deep down, every one of them has something more sinister at play…
