skills

herbalism & horticulture
since she was young, rhia has studied, cultivated, and employed plants in medicine. while her specialty in plants lays within ilsabard and the golmore, she's taken to the flora of the twelveswood and coerthas with ease. she has a particular talent for creating hybrid species through careful cross breeding. more than any plant, she adores seedkin and is fascinated by plants that have gained this type of sentience. her latest area study is the forest of Yak'tel in Tural.

alchemy
specializing in the creation of medicines and drugs, rhia employs both the traditional teachings of vieran salve-makers and her own self-taught know now. she mainly employs plants in the creation of medicines, but she's dabbled into the creation of poisons, inks, and other alchemical creations.

memory weaving
a skill taught to all viera of Scéalta, her mother taught her the art of weaving memory from a young age. she is able to weave a special type of fabric using crushed crystals called a ceirtlín that is able to hold memories. rhia is also able to delve into people's memories to view, alter, or remove them and hold them within the ceirtlín, or her own anima.

arcanist & scholar
approximately 1 year ago, rhia was gifted a rare scholar's soulstone. while shifting from self-taught magicks that utilized the ambient aether to using mathematics and complex equations to manifest sigils and spells powered by one's own aether was a difficult change - she's slowly started adapting to it. the fairy Laylah, while mischievous and fickle, agreed to work with her under certain conditions. she has been able to grasp the basic premise of both arcana and scholarly magick. while her barriers could still use work, they do a decent job of blocking quite a few hits before shattering.

rp hooks

the garlean empire
although she looks a little different and her name has changed, rhiannon was a familiar sight to garlemald for a great many years. those from the IVth legion may recognize the vieran woman as a solider and pilot prior to the Bozjan Incident. now listed one of the many who perished in the incident, fellow soldiers or those she helped conquered might recognize the woman's striking features....

the bozja incident
rhiannon was stationed at the Bozja Citadel for two year prior to the incident - and was present when the city was leveled. luckily, she was outside the city when it was vaporized but witnessed its destruction personally. she returned to the city to search for survivors before fleeing it with another heavily pregnant vieran woman and heading east...

witch within golmore
about 9 years before the calamity, rhia returned to the golmore jungle. although she was forever changed and no longer welcome in villages or the wood itself, her familial connection allowed her to stay within her childhood home outside of the village in a small warded clearing. during this time she was known occasionally to those who passed through as a witch and apostate, but would occasionally provide shelter, medicine, and supplies to other exiled viera or unwanted travelers whom were passing through...

garlean resistance
on her way out from the golmore approximately 8 years ago (during the events of stormblood) rhia provided aide as an alchemist and healer to both lente's tears and the ala mhigan resistance. while she personally never worked the front lines, she saved a fair number of soliders and provided succor free of charge to viera and other spoken. some may remember her from her assistance...

void hunters
to those whom hunt the void, rhia may be a familiar face. for a year and a half prior to the final days she played receptionist for a void hunting group known as the Black Aria. Although they Black Aria disbanded after the Final Days due to numerous member deaths, Rhiannon still has contacts among the community.

waxing blooms
About 3 years ago, Rhiannon opened a small apothecary called the Waxing Blooms out in the Lavender Beds. Medicines, tinctures, and treatments are all available at the blooms. For those who knew of the shop, about 1 year ago the shop suddenly caught aflame and exploded, but it has since been reopened in a small apartment in Ul'dah.

drug dealer
since she opened her shop, the waxing blooms, Rhiannon has been dealing drugs. Mostly for pain relief, but she's never shied away from making more illicit substances, namely somnus. while she previously dealt mostly out of her shop in the Lavender Beds, she's branched out over the last year to selling out in her shop in Ul'dah as well. she also does part time research and development on new drugs.
