Hair & Eyes Czarina most often wears her hair in a half up braid to keep in from falling into her eyes while she works or performs. On occasion she might be seen pulling it all up into a high ponytail or letting it down completely. Hey eyes are the window to her soul, soft and inviting with a deep silver color and large, doe-like pupils. Physique & Markings Rina has a small, slender, but still full physique with round hips that sway as she walks. She maintains a proper and exceedingly graceful demeanor. Hygiene & Attire Czarina takes great pride in maintaining a clean and proper appearance. This does not mean that she is always clean as she frequently finds herself in situations that require her to get dirty. She often dresses in Eastern attire that includes silks, usually of white or lighter colors, that is reminiscent of her home. On occasion she will don gypsy or other attire pertinent to the situation at hand. Personality Psychological Profile Rina is a kind and compassionate soul who wears her heart on her sleeve. She will never hesitate to risk herself to help another. She is fiercely loyal and brave. When pushed beyond her limit she sometimes tends to slip into an alternate and more "cold" personality that those around her will often perceive as not being typical of herself. She sometimes does and sometimes does not remember these episodes and they are usually only brought on by traumatic experiences or situations in which she is worried for the safety of someone she deeply cares about. Voice She speaks with a soft, sweet, mediumly high-pitched voice that has a melodic resonance. Philosophy & Mannerisms Czarina's faith in the Au Ra's Dawn Father god, Azim is still there, though it has wavered several times throughout the last decade of her life. She firmly believes that kindness is the key to a successful society, but logical enough to know that not everyone she encounters will be kind. This does not stop her from almost always attempting to take the kindest and most compassionate route she can to touch someone's heart, even if that person might not be kind or treat her well. She holds hope that every person has a seed of good inside them, no matter how deeply buried, and that the key to unlocking it is true compassion, understanding, and infinite patience. The only exception to this might occur when one of her personality trips is triggered. In this state, while not evil, she is much less compassionate and can even come off as "cold-hearted". She is more likely to react rashly with no thought to consequences and without considering other's feelings.

Her training as a Dawn Father Priestess bestowed in her basic healing techniques similar to those of a conjurer. During her travels in Eorzea she spent time honing these skills to the best of her ability. She has a strong connection to the aether and through this connection as also learned to heal through the use of her divining deck. This ability was gained during her travels with the Gypsy Caravan and honed by both her "Grandmother", a gypsy woman whom she loved and considered family, and by the Astrologian's Guild in Ishgard. She also has the ability to foretell the future and see visions of the past, though this ability is still new to her and she has not learned much of how to control or access this power yet. Combat Abilities Rina is skilled with a bow and arrow at a master level. This too was learned from her time spent wandering The Shroud. Her training earned her the ability to become a bard and through the connection she has with the aether she is able to draw upon magic while playing to increase her own strength and the strength of those around her for short periods of time. While a bow is always her weapon of choice she has basic knowledge of how to use a spear, knives, and a sword. History . Disclaimer: Rina's history is semi-lore friendly. There is nothing too terribly crazy, but somethings might be stretched a bit. Please take with a grain of salt. . Sixth Astral Era Childhood Czarina grew up in a small village in the mountains of Orthard. It had a close proximity to Doma and therefore saw the occasional merchant caravan come through, but was otherwise fairly isolated. The village was predominately Raen and worshiped the Dawn Father Azim. Rina was raised from birth to become a priestess. She received a formal education which included instruction in the healing arts. On her 15th name day she was sent into the woods for a ritual that would mark her passage into the priestesshood, but was kidnapped before the ritual was complete. She managed to escape into The Shroud before she could be sold into slavery in Ul'dah. It is at this time she met a Moon Keeper Miqo'te by the name of Kah'luta Li'shaa. The man saved her from certain death and led her to the safety of BentBranch Meadows. From there she eventually joined up with a Gypsy Caravan, wandering Eorzea for many years. Though she never actually received a formal introduction as a priestess she considers herself to be one, believing that she is on a mission for Azim and that she is walking the path He has set for her. Seventh Umbral Era Adulthood After the Calamity, Rina's adopted Grandmother, an Elezen by the name of Lauria, became ill. She retired with her grandmother to the location currently known as Hermit's Hovel to care for her until she passed away. After her passing Rina began to travel again, but did not return to the gypsy caravan. Instead she traveled alone working as a performer and fortuneteller to make gil. In her free time she began studying to enhance her magical skills in the healing arts. This included training at both the Conjurer's Guild in Gridania and the Astrologian's Guild in Ishgard. Despite the fact it had been years since the incident, Rina was still haunted be nightmares of her kidnapping. The man behind it, an Ul'danian merchant by the name of Daemyon, was still searching for her and as a result she avoided Ul'dah and much of Thanalan in general. She deeply feared being caught again and faced severe inner conflict with her own personal strength of will because of it. During the times when her fear was too great, she would return to her home at Hermit's Hovel to meditate and relax in an attempt to steel her nerves. In Recent Times Moving Forward Recently Rina had returned to Hermit's Hovel to meditate when an Xaelian man by the name of Ren Utgard appeared, drawn by the hot springs to relieve his tired muscles. Intrigued by the cold, yet mysterious man Rina invited him to rest. The pair began a discussion that led to Rina revealing to him her fears and inner struggle. The man then offered to train her so that she might be able to overcome and conquer both her fear and the man who caused them. Rina, considering the offer, accepted the risks and in turn became a companion and somewhat unofficial apprentice to the Xaela. Through her training with him Czarina was about to find the inner strength he believed she possessed. He, along with a Keeper woman named Saya Sandana whom they met during Rina's final training session, accompanied Rina to Ul'dah. The plan was to sneak into the city and kill the merchant, but when Ren and Rina stopped at a tavern near Blackbrush station for food and drink a man inside recognized the Au Ra girl and reported her location to the merchant. All this occurred without the Au Ras noticing. The two drank until intoxicated and then bedded down under a waterfall for the night. When Ren awoke in the morning though Rina was gone, two sets of footprints and her bow the only evidence of her disappearance. Shortly after his awakening, Saya returned from a side mission. The two formed a plan to rescue Rina. The plan took a couple days to carry out. The two entered Ul'dah, hearing rumor Rina was to be found at the Quicksands. Upon investigation they found her bound by a magical slave collar, dancing against her will. Saya was able to use her magic to deactivate the collar while Ren bribed the guard watching her for time alone with the woman. The three then made their escape, spending the night in a cave outside the city. The next day the trio began forming a new plan. Rina had heard that Daemyon would be traveling through the South Shroud on his way to trade. The three staked out a spot on the road and waited, attacking the merchant and his crew. Rina drew on the strength Ren had helped her find to send an arrow through the man's heart, killing both him and her lingering fears. Once he was dead Rina's nightmares subsided and she was able to live normally again. With her main objective fulfilled Rina agreed to accompany Ren and Saya in his search for his daughter, Ane. Their search led them down several paths as they followed the young girl's trail. Eventually it led to a fatefully sweet reunion not far outside Ishgard. Throughout their search, Rina learned a great deal more about the past of her Xaelian companion and feelings of true affection blossomed in her heart. The two developed an intensely spiritual connection that led to a relationship. Talk of marriage was on the table, but never grew into fruition as Rina's destiny was pulled in a different direction and she lost contact with Ren, Saya, and Ane. She still thinks of them fondly and remembers their adventures as some of the happiest times in her life. Rina's path led her to seek employment as a bartender at a club in the Goblet housing distict of Ul'dah. Though she knew the venue is not a place she belonged, she felt Azim calling her to help those in need there. But now her call from Azim, or perhaps her faith in general, is wavering and she has begun to search for her next calling if it is out there. She has begun to feel restless and longs for the adventure of traveling again. Her thoughts have turned to returning to her homeland to explore and see what she might find.
