Appearance
Despite being rather lacking in height, R'hienna is not by all means scrawny or inconspicuous. Her physique is agile and lightly muscular, and she sports pleasantly feminine, although proportionate, figure.
This dark-haired miqo'te keeps her long, wavy hair free most of the time, and she's clearly pays attention to her appearance, judging from how well-kept her hair and the fur of her tail are.
The most notable features on her otherwise rather unblemished face are the two long, thin scars; one of them crosses from her right cheek and over the bridge of her nose and the second one has been sliced on the side of her left cheek. The scars themselves aren't too crude, however, they stand out from her otherwise harmonious features.
History
R'hienna Tahl was born to R'tahl Tia and her mother Oda Lohin, who was of the Keepers, somewhere in the Black Shroud. Her mother passed away quickly after her birth, and so her father returned to Thanalan to his tribe together with R'hienna and her older sister of 6 years, R'enlan.
She was mostly cared for and raised by her sister, who quickly grew tired of the tribe and it's ways. As one could imagine, R'enlan's views and opinions affected R'hienna greatly, and she followed in her sister's footsteps both literally and figuratively. Later on, R'enlan decided to seek better life for herself and R'hienna outside their tribe, and the two ran away to Ul'dah. Life on the streets was not kind to the two adolescents, but they eventually made their way to Limsa Lominsa, where R'enlan found a way to make living through the elusive Rogue's Guild. As R'hienna grew older, she quickly discovered her sister's endeavours, and just like in her childhood, she would stick her nose into R'enlan's business in order to follow her path.
Personality
At a first glance, R'hienna strikes out as an easy-going, perhaps a slightly promiscuous individual with no care in the world. However, if studied in greater depth, one would find that the miqo'te female showed quiet signs of discomfort in large crowds and amongst strangers - while a confident smile occupies her lips, her eyes flicker from person to person and place to place, as if seeking for an escape. She makes sure to try and keep her gameface on no matter how tight of a situation.
If known on a more personal level, R'hienna is a loyal, compassionate friend who can sometimes come off as borderline obsessed due to her stubborn and headstrong nature, and in a blink of an eye, irritate those around her with remarks only she considers witty.

Equipment
While travelling, R'hienna is often seen carrying a backpack, several pouches and two daggers sheathed on her belt. Her clothing is either a set of light leather armor or a black, silken dress with gilded ornaments and details. Considering the good quality and neat appearance of her outfits, it's safe to assume she has either made a decent sum of money in the past or works frequently to pay for them.
