Outward Appearance

Rhoana's appearance clearly shows she is from a distant land, she wears clothing made of hides and worn cloth, intricately stitched and bearing many a trophy. That of long and elegant teeth and boning, with the occassional scrimshaw. She carries a quiver and pack accross her shoulders.

Lithe and perhaps on the skinny side she carries in her stride a well known feel for walking on land, Rhoana will often carry an all purpose knife sheathed in soft leather and strapped to her side, its blade curved and suitable to gut a fish, with a roughly carved bow upon her back, Her pack contains many more utensils and weapons of light variety. Her voice is gentle and calm, her skin holds a warm glow. Her hair is long, reaching far below her shoulder blades and is surprisingly straight. occassionaly it can be seen bound into an intricately braided and weighty bun at the nape of her neck, or covered by cowl. She will often be seen walking bare foot in greener lands, and bares faint scarring around her eyes.

Background

A Lossoth hailing from the village of Suri-Kyla bound upon the frozen shores of the Icebay, Rhoana grew quickly accustomed to matters of survival. Barely seen without blade or bow, she carries a wealth of equipment to deal with nearly any matter of circumstance.

She has travelled quite a distance, and her reasons for leaving her village is one which is known to few. Though the expectance of being wed to her betrothed's brother was one to cause her to flee, she has used her personal works of map-making as a near valid excuse amongst her people. She is clear of mind and knows, for the most part, what she wants which is something her family has had to grow accustomed to. She communicates with difficulty, partially because of difference and divide, and has experienced harshness from folks abroad all too often.

Proud of her homeland and of her family, despite her secret rebellion. When in Forochel she is more welcoming to the etelä vieras who wander there, in comparison to her kinsmen, though she does share the same suspicions and worries of silent foe creeping northwards and the invasion of their lands from an ever watchful Surmaja. Since her departure nearing eight summers ago, she has travelled far, whilst logging her journeys into a loosely bound journal, consisting of many a map. The clarity of which wanes the further south and east it goes, land growing unfamiliar. The book, she holds very dear to her. It contains, for the most part, eight years of travels and thoughts and a life mostly on her own. She is caring and nurturing, but able to defend herself if need be.

She has survived the thickest of winters, when those close to her have perished. She is more loyal then one might imagine and takes delight in the smallest of things and occurrences. Wandering upon grass bare-foot, the feel of warm water in a spring and not forgetting the wandering lights of her homeland.

______________________

 

Her return homeward was one wrought with difficulty, yet she pursued that path. Establishing a hut of her own in the lower stretches of Forochel, she is now one of the few Lossoth who negotiate trade with the men from the south. She does not leave the bounds of her home idly anymore, visiting her faimly often. Time spent with Kirri and Riku has eased passed burdens and she keeps as close a watch over them when she can... where her path my lead her some other day, remains unknown... though perhaps the inquisitive niece will decide for her.
