"I Might Be Young, But I'm Not Stupid"
L'rinhi Kett is a seventeen year old Miqo'te from the Seeker of the Sun clan. She is the only daughter of the late Kett Nuhn and L'raya Rinh'i and sister to L'raha Nunh; the two of them are of the few remaining survivors of the Viper Tribe of the Southern Sagoli Desert. Over the years,she took up conjury and proved herself as a capable protector and healer. Her and her brother traveled many years throughout the land of Eorzea before finally settling down in Ul'dah. Her passion and desire to help others drove her to form the small company known as The Wayfarers of Eorzea. The company started small only containing four members for the majority of it's infancy. As time went on, Rini found herself alone in Ul'dah with her friends all traveling to unknown destinations. During her time of solitude, Rini had made plans to further her now almost nonexistent company. With the help of an interested investor, Rini opened Wayfarer's Rest in the Goblet and began to build a refuge for others. In only a few months time, she had her 'dream' ready to open and she was reunited with her brother. As the company grew, complications arose that convinced Rini that her company was better off without her. Lately, she has began to see life in a new way, and retained her company once again, rebuilding it to as it was when she treasured it so dearly. Nevertheless, she pushes forward with a wounded soul but an impervious spirit.

♦ Appearance
"There's a skinny girl inside me dying to get out...But I can usually shut her up with cookies."
Rini is quite pale for a desert farer, usually found wrapped up in bulky robes or long sleeves. Her hair is naturally snow white, coming down under her jawline and to the nape of her neck. Lately, she has dyed the tips of her hair a deep crimson red for personal reasons. Her eyes are a very light green, iridescent in a way. Her lips are rather plain and only lush on occasion; she abhors makeup and will only wear anything related to it for certain occasions. She is rather short for a Miqo'te, but this is arguably because of her age. It is interesting to note that her tail is slightly longer than her older brother's and lacks the bushiness due to her grooming. She keeps her hair and fur neat and cut short. She would appear a little "chunkier" then most Miqo'te, but one might ponder if it is the bulky robes worn or all the sweets she consumes. Rini also has a very distinct and large scare on her chest. While it is healed, some might still see it from the top of her cleavage.
L'rinhi's eyes might be her most notable feature. As with many of the Kett family, her eyes are deep shade of green. But, unlike her brother, her eyes carry an irredesent glow that makes them shine brighter than normal. This has been linked to the amount of aether that she currently posessses. When casting a higher teir of Magic, this burning more Aether, her eyes take on an even brighter glow.
♦ Equipment
L'rinhi's equipment varies on a day by day basis. Her casual wear varies from simple tunics and skirts to long robes and armor. There is very rarely a time that she would be found without an earring with a large pearl hanging from her ear; a momento of her mother.
Battle Healer
Rini's Battle Healer attire consists of thick, over lapping robes with a metal frame woven into the fabric, linen tights, a silken hand wrap, and jet black leather thigh boots with a jagged pattern down its center. Several large, smooth stones are built into the metal frame; these stones are actual large pieces of resistance material, aiding in her magical defense. Though the dangers of the world are ever changing, and there are far superior outfits as time moves on, L'rinhi has a hard time replacing pieces of her armor with new ones, seeing them in a light that they become part of her.
White Mage Robes
She can occasionally be found wearing robes resembling the ones wore by the Padjal. Though she studied under one for some time they were not officially given to her. They were instead crafted by her as an imitation. Rini frequently attempts to re-craft weapons and armors that she reads about or finds throughout the world. These robes were no different, crafting not only one but two versions of these robes. They have several pockets and pouches crafted into the garment. Unlike her battle robes, these robes offer little protection to physical attacks.
The Heart of Ul'dah
Named more for a persona than the clothes themselves, this outfit is little more than a Goldsmith's attire. Another outfit she crafted her, This was the first project that Rini mixed her skill of Weaving and her passion for Goldsmithing. The result was mediocre, but this has been Rini's favorite set of clothes to wear during her relations with her company. As such, her compassion for people and her passion for her work has inspired some to look up to her. This is currently the most complimented outfit she has
♦ Behaviour
Rini was normally always a very
energetic, upbeat girl who wandered throughout the world with an ignorant bliss. From her mannerisms to her speech, L'rinhi thinks, acts, and speaks with innocence. Though this isn't exactly by choice, Rini would see things for what they are, often overlooking and missing inside jokes or innuendos. With a hyperactive personality and blissful ignorance, she could turn from being overly cheerful to dumbstruck and lost with a single comment. Though this is a flaw in many ways, she never hesitated to help someone in need no matter the problem and tends to try to befriend the most unlikely of candidates.
When she assumed the rank of Matron and began to lead her company, Rini pushed herself to have a more serious and thoughtful persona. While she still hel onto her empathetic attitude, she had adapted it into a protective and comforting state. Because of this Rini tried to act older than she really was and threw weight that never was entirely there. Though her heart was in the right place, this led to conflicts with others when they suggest a firmer action or question her authority. In the end, Rini is still a young, teenage girl.
Throughout the course of time, many of L'rinhi's innocent traits have endured, but that's not to say that time hasn't changed her. The better those around her get to know her, the more some realize she's not as cheerful as she puts on. With the burden of leadership comes the stress and responsibility that is associated with it. This can even go as far as pushing her into a depressive state that leaves her thinking over her choices, both good and bad.
After her departure from her company, and passing leadership to another, Rini has slowly, but surely, began to drift back to her old carefree, 'innocent' state. But even so, the miqo'te has grown, and with every day comes more experience as she wanders into the age of adulthood. But regardless of what omen life brings her, well or ill, it seems that Rini will always be Rini.

Description:
The Early Years
|
---|
Rini was one of the last daughters born unto a small Viper Tribe that migrated among the Southern Sagoli Desert. The second born between Kett and L'raya, Rini was sheltered for the majority of her tribal life. In the latter years, and the coming of the end of the tribe, she was allowed to befriend a small number of the other children who did not see her as an outcast. While Rini herself does not recollect this memory, the tribe was not as open minded to her father's choice of taking a keeper as his mate; before their departure, this joining would almost result in an uprising. After the events of Dalamud, Rini, now age nine, and her brother found themselves homeless after an invasion by a neighboring Amalj'aa tribe. They wandered the desert and almost died themselves if not for the help of a wandering merchant.
The two children aided the merchant for the next several months and tried to cope with what was now their lives. Rini always had the feeling that her mother would come back and retained this hope for many years to come. The merchant, only known to Rini as Farce, would pass on many of the skills that she would continue to use even in present day. During their travels they would both learn how to wield a sword or, in Rini's case, a dagger in order to protect themselves. It was also during this time that Rini found her affinity for aether. While faint, she began to hear the call of the elements and learned the most basic and crude of healing magic. However, their new found guardian became very ill within a year into their journey and passed on in a small inn on the outskirts of Ul'dah. Even with Rini's new found power, she was no skilled enough to save him. Driven and determined, the children began to take on work in the local cities. At first, the city was very unforgiving to the children. Many refugees had already took up making camp outside the city walls and the majority of work that was within their means was taken. Ra, her brother, had turned fifthteen that summer and began taking leves from the workboard that required combat. These times were especially dark for L'rinhi as she was solely dependant on her brother. Day in and day out she would notice more and more of the cuts, bruising, and gashes that littered his body. On more than one occasion she would attempt to heal him, but only resulted in herself fainting. Even with her brother's hard work, the children would live on bread most days; something that Rini herself started to resent and abhor. This continued for several months, but in this time Rini found a way to make her own small amount of income. Each day she would gather reeds and weave them into baskets. While these didn't supply them with much it was the first time Rini felt that she had finally contributed to her brother and the world around her. As she started to grow, she insisted on accompanying Ra on several leves and trying, once again, to prove herself useful. These did not always go well and ,more often than not, caused more trouble than actually assisting. One instance inparticular, had them escorting a wagon between Blackbush and Ul'dah. While she had good intentions, it is known that the wagon ended up crashing into the river and its cargo swept downstream.

Player Character Rumors
The following rumours can be heard about Rini, predominantly in Ul'dah and Gridania. (If your character has an opinion about her, feel free to add it here.)
Common rumours
- That girl could lighten up a bit on the sweets. I've never seen anyone devour a dozen of cookies quite that fast.- Ul'dah Bakery
- The Miqo'te with the white and red hair with the hood? She comes in here and stares at the leve board; it's creepy.- Quicksand Waitress
- She runs a shelter for homeless folks down in the goblet. The soup is horrible, but the drinks are good.- Ul'dah Refugee
Uncommon rumours
- I hear she's in league with an Ishgardian Heretic, several of em actually. I suppose her crew don't care where you are from.- Quicksand Regular
- Rini Kett? Watch that kid around your customers. She sold me three music boxes and before she walked out of my shop she sold five to my customers for under half the price. She has no class.- Ul'dah Goldsmith
Rare rumours
- She's the daughter of L'raya Rinh'i? But wasn't she a Keeper of the Moon?- Gridanian Guard
What PCs are saying
- ■ "Unfortunately, some undistinguished gentlemen torment female Miqo'te who bear a little 'extra padding' around the hips. Such thoughts are abominable. Why, it is indisputable that plump kittens tend to offer the warmest cuddles. For example, Miss Rinny, who clearly enjoys the 'occasional' cookie, offers warm hospitality, kind, and hugs in droves. She's a real gem. Especially if you bring her something sweet to munch on." -- Sigurd Sundsteigen
