--------------------
Rianne was born in Kenabres, but spent her early childhood in Brevoy with an aunt and uncle (her mother’s brother and sister-in-law) after her parents' disappearance on a mysterious adventure not long after her birth. She has two cousins/foster siblings, one just six months older then her. Her aunt and uncle were kind to her though they found it difficult to connect with her as deeply as with their own children. They left Brevoy during the chaos, and ended up in Egede, where her uncle made a fair living as a leatherworker, making leather armour and supplies for adventurers.

At some point in her adolescence she happened to encounter a celestial being summoned by a local cleric, which awakened her latent magical abilities. She kept her abilities a secret for some time, not wanting to attract attention, only telling her closest friend, a fellow half-elf and the younger sister of a paladin of Iomedae, who she'd met not long after arriving in Egede and who also played a part in her conversion to the worship of Iomedae.

Not long after coming of age, she left her aunt and uncle behind in hopes of finding answers about what happened to her parents - and perhaps avenging their deaths.

Appearance and personality:
Rianne has strong Taldan ancestry though she also has a hint of Kellid ancestry that is visible to somebody that is paying attention and knows what to look for. She has dark bronze skin and dark brown hair (normally kept just below shoulder length and pulled back into a ponytail or a braid) and green eyes with a typical half-elven slender build. She has an unusual birthmark just above her right elbow. She prefers practical clothing by default.

She is very self-confident, and takes pride in her ancestry, partially in conscious defiance of those who would denigrate half-elves for their mixed blood, however, she is usually too nice to let her confidence slide into arrogance and putting others down, unless they are the kind of people who would start it, in which case she will sometimes respond with a cutting remark, particularly in the case of those who bully the timid or young. Her typical demeanor when first meeting people is warmly polite. She tries not to judge people by their appearances but does have a slight reflexive prejudice against half-orcs, though she is willing to co-operate with them, and can even become friends with individuals once she gets to know them well enough to overcome her initial reaction.
