Personality
Rhy'nara is a generally kind and open-minded young woman, though she does have a quiet sense of paranoia and pessimism that wars for dominance. Despite that undercurrent of caution, she cares deeply about a great many things—particularly the condition of those around her. Because of this, Rhyn will often be caught asking after, and tending to, the needs and feelings of others... usually far ahead of her own.Rhy'nara tends to feel emotions—anger, joy, sorrow, and pain—on a scale of power that is foreign to most other people. Though her ability to weather this burden has gotten better with time and experience, she still bears the curse of a terrible poker face... Thus, particularly observant eyes might be able to pick up on moments when those ambient emotions are starting to overcome her. While her kindness doesn't tend to waver, close friends or comrades will also know Rhy'nara to be clever, sarcastic, and sharp of wit; always happy to dole out the same jokes she's dealt.But take heed—softhearted or no, she's got a surprisingly low tolerance for the presumed or perceived mistreatment of others. And she'll be out of her seat and in someone's face posthaste, if she ends up with a bad taste in her mouth over a particular situation in the vicinity...
Mannerisms
✲ A unfortunately "easy read," she tends to wear her heart on her sleeve
✲ Has an affinity for sweet things, from cupcakes and pies, to a little tea in her cup of honey
✲ Will almost always be looking directly into your eyes as you're speaking
✲ Often caught scribbling small, detailed sketches on nearby napkins or paper scraps
✲ Generally has good posture in chairs, rather than slouching or fully relaxing
✲ Knocks the same way on every single door, every single time
✲ "Dangerously empathetic," one might say
✲ Known to jumble words together (or apart) when excited
✲ Often carries a spare pencil or fountain pen tucked into her hair (if it's in a bun or ponytail)
✲ Seems to really like interesting pairs of glasses
✲ Usually drinking gin on ice, with a few lemon wedges
✲ Likes tucking at least one foot beneath herself while sitting in a chair—usually the left
✲ Will absolutely stop mid-conversation, and jot down an important note without explanation
✲ Sometimes gets the rarely-seen condition known only as research zoomies
Hooks
✲ In need of a healer? Rhy'nara is capable of tending to your needs, be they aetheric or practical. Perhaps especially if they're practical...
✲ Ul'dah native? Having grown up in the city, you might have known her—or her fiery, adoptive Lalafellin mother, Fumi...
✲ Black market ties in Ul'dah? If you've got questions about this hook, please reach out to me for details!
✲ Troubling memories or rampant emotions? Rhyn is sensitive to these sorts of things, and may be drawn to you more so than others...
✲ Aetherically sensitive or perceptive? Several things about Rhy'nara are just a little bit... off...
✲ History as a pirate? The lady herself has never manned a ship a day in her life—yet her surname of Reinhardt still carries weight...
✲ Ishgardian resident? So is she! Rhyn often provides aid to Brume residents, and actively works to improve their quality of life...

Behind the Curtain
Hey there! Thanks so much for taking a look at Rhyn's Carrd! I'm always looking for new contacts to write with, and while long-term is definitely preferred, I'm absolutely open to short-term interactions or one-offs as well! :) My schedule's a bit of a wildcard, but I'm in the US Eastern Time Zone (EST)! I have Discord available upon request, so please ask if you'd like to set up future RP!I try to be a very flexible writer, and like to mirror whoever my partner is. In other words—the more you give me, the more I tend to give you in return! That said, I do have a very clear tendency toward long-form narrative posts. I come from a background of multi-paragraph posting on forums/messenger platforms, and I greatly enjoy describing my scenes and/or characters for others. If I happen to be overwhelming you at any point, though, please do let me know. If we aren't BOTH having fun, then what's the point, right?I consider myself very lore-aware and generally lore-adherent, but I am not at all afraid to bend it for the sake of fun or good writing. Have an idea that you'd like to play around with? Toss it my way, and maybe we can brainstorm! I love helping with that sort of thing!NOTE: While I do not engage in combat RP often, you should know ahead of time that I do not tend toward dice rolls for most decisions. I trust my ability to be reasonable with sustained/applied damage, and I expect the same from my writing partners. If this is an issue for you at all, it might be best to avoid interaction from the very beginning, because I will not bend my rules for your sake. No hard feelings, though!
