Raiva Zardoul

An enigmatic luxury hire from the illustrious city of Ɛposoro, reigning from the Mogya coven. Hir coven is adept in many essential magicks, like charms, blessings, curses, and fortune telling. Needless to say, Raiva is excellent at all of these, which is one of the main reasons for hir employment. The main reason of hir employment, is that for some unexplained reason, Raiva needed to be on the Western Continent, and insisted on tagging along with this specific party. Which is all well and good, but despite willingly entering the treacherous, beast-filled, bandit-filled expanse of the Uncharted Lands, ze refuses to engage in any combat hirself. Something about getting dirty, or breaking a nail, or the tiny letters on the contract. Either way, it doesn’t appear to matter much, considering ze’s still employed, and very appreciated for hir incredible talents.

That is basically all there is to know about Raiva. Ze simply showed up at the harbor of Amisdallen, asked where Marilou and Ilmar were going, and imposed hirself on their little company. They’ve been traveling and plotting together since, asking little questions, and expecting few answers. In a way, it’s the most pleasant expedition company ze’s been with so far, as ze is a firm believer in separating work and personal life. Still, a wrench has been thrown in hir plan (if ze had one?) when suddenly, ze was now also responsible for the life of a teenager. One with a mysterious disease, at that, that prevents her from casting. By pure chance, Raiva seems to have gotten way closer to hir original goal than ze’d counted on…

Raiva is a hybrid concubus/cyclops, of roughly 240cm tall. Ze is fat and muscular, and with that, both the largest and the strongest person in the group. Hir skin is dark brown, with vaguely pinkish pale markings, reminiscent of thorned rose vines. Hir black hair is braided into rows, and adorned with various jewelries. As an adult concubus, ze has a tail, large bat wings, and two horns, one of which is broken off at the midway point. The fractured end is covered up with a gold, fitted capping. Ze has only a single, large eye, in the middle of hir face. Said eye is often out of view, obscured by a large, broad-brim hat. Ze wears full-body, black leather armor, with a bright red shawl draped over hir shoulder, with traditional Ɛposorian patterns. Hir clothing, like hir skin, is similarly adorned with rose patterns.

• Ze has a partner, but you'll never know about it.
• Hir favorite food is fried rice. not having much access to rice while traveling is a problem, but not a deal-breaker.
• Hir favorite flower isn’t actually a rose, it just matches hir whole look better. hir actual favorite is a moonflower.
• Ze worships the god Kanala, Mistress of the Depths, but dedicates most of hir prayers to the Morigaia.
