Lady Rhea

Appearence

Working in Myrkentown proper as a seamstress for hire, and a washer woman most days this fiesty young woman leads a common life. As most would easily conclude. Often one sees her she's a disheveled mess, wavy locks of radiant auburn tumble down over her shoulders when they're not messily braided from a days work. Her shoulders lay bare with a low chemise, high enough as to not entice, but well worn and meant for its adaptability to her chores. Her clothes may be faded and simple, but her smile is gentle and her kindness offered to almost everyone. Despite the sweat on her brow her eyes are a vivid and refreshing green. But that which should make her least common of all is her voice, passing over rosey lips that often smile and grin, is a charmed voice. Although she hides her secrets from most, Rhea is obviously a foreigner with a heavy broken accent that fades away when she sings. An occurrence that after hiding for nearly three years in under Myrken's protection appears more and more frequently. For with practice one might retain and even attain a higher level of understanding. As a manipulator of words, a magic handling human, and a healer, Rhea was once a priestess of the highest rank, in the Isles of the north, the Shadow Moon Isle.

Background

Born in a small farming village, Rhea was born as Katarhea, where she lived a simple country life until the age of seven when she was selected to begin training at the central temple. Her blood made her a viable candidate but her stunning voice was what made her stand out among the other girls selected to assist the governing Priestess' of the land. Not soon after her appointment the lands were invaded and the training temple came under seige. What once was a shimmering tribute of lush fertile lands, and abundant springs of sparkling water had become an inferno where she had witnessed the torture and murder of two sisters. Stealing the last and key song book with two of the remaining high priestess she murdered the deformed drow that had been her captor. And fled across the Beradt Sea into Amasynia, where upon they landed in New Dauntless and split apart, and Rhea found her way into Myrken Wood. Even now hundreds of leagues away nightmares of the atrocity and blood plague her thoughts.

Skills

Due to Rhea's extensive knowledge and ability to manipulate her own voice many feats become possibile such as:

• When able to hum or sing - hands may warm and/or glow upon touching heal another's wounds ONLY if they 'accept' the gesture.
• When able to hum or sing - create a barrier or shield between her and an oncoming or attacking enemy.
• When able to hum or sing - create temporary tangible illusions this includes the ability to tune specifically to a single person or creature without others hearing.
• Other minor vocal abilities include emotional influence, insulating and creating fire, disguise, enchanting, embedding dreams, and inflicting death.

Note:

• barriers, healing, and extensive illusions create an alarming exertion of energy which may limit the effect of the process to a few minutes or even seconds in duration. (depending on intensity)
• In order to inflict death on another creature she must forfeit her own life.
• When under extreme stress her physical appearence will alter, her eyes are likely to fade to a near crystal blue and her hair darken to near black.
