Based on Fire Emblem Heroes. Rhiannon is a Summoner brought to Askr from 2020s Earth and given the Legendary Relic known as Breidablik. While initially very confused, they became very fast friends with Princess Sharena and learned to wield the pistol-like Relic on their own, summoning other Heroes into combat. They work hard to try and befriend everyone who arrives, understanding the confusion of being yoinked from another dimension... apparently. They guess? Who even knows how this works? In the Heroes' "5 Man Band", they are typically the Smart Guy and share the Lancer role with Prince Alfonse.

Rhiannon is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. They're slightly taller than Prince Alfonse (who is 5'11"/180cm apparently). Other than the pistol Breidablik, they wield a bastard sword - but instead of holding it in their hands, they levitate it in front of them and use magic to swing it around and take out enemies. Their special combat move is called Sol, which heals some of Rhiannon's injuries when it activates. Rhiannon is decent with a sword, though doesn't really use it much if they can help it. They mainly picked it up as a back-up plan; Breidablik is a distance weapon, and thus not incredibly helpful if someone gets in close enough to stab them. Thus they started training as an alternate way to defend themself. They have a skinnier build, lean but more toned than you think they would be -  though they can really only take out Magic users consistently and have trouble with other melee fighters. Rhiannon has no talent for magic, other than what's required to power their Gun Relic.

Rhiannon is more often than not seen wearing a tambourine on their head. No explanation is given for this. Everyone just kind of... accepts this about them. They're not particularly outgoing, but enjoy conversations with Heroes and can often while away hours at a time talking about interesting things. Half the time they're nose-deep in some book taken from Askr's castle library; they will read literally everything they can get their hands on. This is one thing they have in common with Prince Alfonse; they're both voracious bookworms. They enjoy the various holiday events and challenges that come around, and while Prince Alfonse sometimes gets on their case for getting too involved, Princess Sharena goes all-in and joins Rhiannon in games and costumes. Dress up is fun! They're fine wearing clothing trending towards masculine or feminine, they don't really have a preference.

While they do try hard to treat their allies well, Rhiannon is kind of awkward and closed off and only really seems collected in combat. They've earned their spot as Tactician, dammit. They listen more than they talk in conversation, and they're not always the best at reading the room. But they do, in fact, try, and they earn respect and affection from others anyway. Somehow. They're a little confused by this, honestly... So far, Rhiannon has shown no signs of sexual interest towards any Heroes or allies, and anything that could be interpreted as flirting or courting is just as easily justified as an awkward bean trying to be a good friend. This doesn't stop others (usually Sharena) shipping them with someone and wondering who they'd be interested in.

The units that join their army by default with the start of each new story are Fjorm, Eir, Peony, Reginn, Ash, Seiðr, and Ratatoskr. It's fine to draw them with any of these girls in a friend capacity. A more detailed list of my personal favorite FEH units are under the spoiler tag below (it's kind of a long list)

  • Fjorm: Princess of Ice (in-game canon falling in love with them; they saved her from the snow  and brought her back up to health, impressing her with their kindness) {Actual Ship Tease Pt 1} More Character Info (I also have this!) And also this~
  • Alfonse: Prince of Askr (reluctant to befriend Rhiannon at first; didn't realize true  importance to each other until the Hel arc when they both almost died;  admits to their face Askr isn't the same without them) {Actual Ship Tease Pt. 2} More Character Info Also, kimono time!
  • Sharena: Princess of Askr (immediate BFFs and chaotic dress-up buddies! They have an easier time coming out of their shell when she's nearby) {like a sister to them}More Character Info
  • Anna: Commander (their boss, at least on paper; they treat each other as equals and  share an office and command of the Order. That one coworker who's your  best friend but also a pain in the ass; fed up with her weird  financial... stuff...) And just for fun...
  • Takumi: Wild Card (deep respect, though not enough to prevent them from messing with him a  little; Takumi's kind of bristly, which leads to discomfort from  Rhiannon afterwards) Also this! And this...
  • Plumeria: Lewd Dream (she works with them out of spite because they confuse her a lot; they  value her magic greatly so they try to just grin and bear it)
  • Luthier: Odd Wayfarer (impressed by his magic knowledge, happy to sit and let him ramble about magic on and on and on...) Also this!
  • Lyn: Brave Lady (would give their left leg for a chance to learn archery from her; deep admiration, too scared to actually hold a conversation with her) Also this!
  • Gatekeeper: Nothing to Report (probably their FAVORITE PERSON in the army; if you don't love him you're a goddamn liar)
  • Lissa: Sweet Celebrant (thinks she's cute and fun; Sharena thinks they're hooking up, Rhiannon is oblivious to this)
  • Lewyn: Guiding Breeze (because of course the bard would befriend Tambourine Summoner! Insists on jamming with  them sometime; do they actually have musical talent? Let's find out!) 
  • Dorothea: Solar Songstress (joins Lewyn in trying to convince Tambourine Summoner to jam with them; she sings, Lewyn has the harp, Rhiannon does percussion, it's  perfect!) Also this!
  • Askr: God of Openness (made a comment as an intimidation tactic about summoning God to make him Their Bitch; now that he's here they are terrified he's gonna smite them. Lord Askr is super chill and finds this very funny)
  • Eleonora: Shooting Starlet (someone from the same general world and timeframe! SO GRATEFUL to have  someone else who understands what a cell phone is! ...Is that ghost  really Virion, though?)
  • Chrom: Fate-Defying Duo (even they can see the romantic tension between these two. Close friends with both of them, will occasionally make leading comments to Chrom and suggest ways to proceed with Robin, only a few of which end in hilarious failure) And for just Robin...
  • Etie: Fitness Fighter (she's nice enough and she definitely means well. She declared herself  Rhiannon's workout buddy right away after seeing them with a sword, and  she knows when too far is too far... sometimes. She just wants to help.)
  • Owain: Devoted Defender (this adorkable loser always makes them smile; will occasionally indulge him in his theatrics, because it makes him grin and they like that a lot)
  • Corrin: Starry Seer (has a deal with her: they help her pull a prank on Halloween, they get half her candy - although sometimes they are her victim...) And sometimes her male counterpart joins in too!
  • Alcryst: Tender Archer (it hurts Rhiannon so much to hear him talk about himself that way; immediately felt the need to give Sad Arrow Boy hugs and tell him everything is okay)
