Appearance

Hair & Eyes

Czarina most often wears her pale blonde 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. It has a soft curl though and can sometime be unruly when left to it's own devices. Currently it is dyed a dark honey brown color as she is in hiding and changed her appearance to keep herself from being noticed. Her eyes are the window to her soul, soft and inviting with a deep silver color. They shine particularly bright in the sunlight and can turn almost a gunmetal color in darker lighting.

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. She has faint scars on her cheeks, almost unnoticeable to the average eye thanks to good healing magic and time.

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. She can sing quite well and often performed for crowds of people when she was younger.

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.

Skills

Combat Skills

Rina is skilled with a bow and arrow at a master level. This 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 as well as spells of various kinds.

Non-Combat Skills

Czarina possesses acute healing abilities. 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 has also learned 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. 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.

History

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 was carry across the Ruby Sea before she managed to escape into The Shroud to avoid being sold on the slave market 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.
