: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant crimson eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her left one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]

Rihxo's fighting style is very elegant, surprisingly enough; all of her movements tend to look like she's performing a very intricate dance. She prefers to keep her distance from a target - not below using laced arrows and carefully placed, precise strikes to help disable them - before going for the killing shot, often aimed at the temple. If someone gets too close - as in, she is completely unable to use her bow - she will pull daggers from her boots (always thigh-high for this reason) and begin to fight with those, though this is seen as a last resort. If there is clearly no hope for her, she will flee if she deems it necessary in order to live. Her arrows are color-coded for her own sake; all have red fletchings, but the 'fiery hot' ones have red shafts. Rarely, a killing blow will be dealt with a green-fletched arrow. This is her way of honoring her father, X'matoi, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

|-

Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

'''Nanagi Nagi''' was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life.

Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so.

She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change

Currently apart of the mercenary company known as Solace.

=Appearance=
[[File:Nagi Icon.png|250px|left]]
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely.

Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average.

Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.

====Scars/Markings====
*Her right hand is badly burned. The blisters went deep, and she will have the markings forever. Due to this, she often covers the hand with a bandage.
*Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.

=Behavior=
[[File:Nanagi2.jpeg|330px|frameless|right]]
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all!

On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself.

On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

=Combat=
===Weapon(s):===
Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one.

Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now.

===Combat Style:===
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best mage she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees.

She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells.

Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.

She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration.

=Background=

==Birth and Early Life:==
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks.
Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books.

If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.

==Her Teen Years:==
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before.
Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself.

Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner.

Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best.

She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.

==The event that turned her life upside down:==
A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
: She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location.

She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

(11/10-11/11) After having time to think of a plan, Nanagi thought she was ready to get her stolen staff back. She asked for Rihxo's assistance in the matter. After explaining the plan to go into the Amalj'aa camp and surrender themselves, she told Rihxo that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going. No one could know. When they went into the camp, they killed a few of the Amalj'aa before surrendering themselves. Nanagi hopes that while they are being held captive that she will be able to find an opening to gain their weapons back. Time is of the essence considering that the Amalj'aa wish to sacrifice them to Ifrit along with others if the beasts manage to find others.

Nanagi is currently recovering from injuries. After casting a powerful spell that she didn’t know how to cast properly, her aetheric energy levels dropped to deathly low. If it wasn’t for a Medic who happened to live in the Forgotten Springs, Nanagi would probably be dead. Although she has had time to recover, she is still relatively weak, and hasn’t been able to cast any magic. Even if she wanted to, she can’t because her special staff was stolen from her by Amalj’aa.

'''Nanagi has recovered from her injuries. The only noticeable injury now are the burn marks on her hand. If they are not covered in bandages, they markings are quite noticeable. She was also able to obtain her staff.'''

(10/27) She found a wanted poster for an assassin; the person was offering a large sum of money to anyone who could kill the woman. She asked for Rihxo Matoi’s assistance, and Rihxo accompanied her. Once the killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they returned to Ul’dah for their pay. However, once they received their pay, they were told that they would receive no credit for killing the assassin. No one will even know the details on how the assassin died. Nanagi didn’t mind not receiving credit.

Nanagi stayed hiddent for a long time, while still keeping some sort of contact with her friends. She sent a letter to Rihxo stating that she should go to the Grindstone, it would do her good. Give her more experience without murdering anyone. Knowing that wouldn't convince her enough, she mentioned that she would be there as well. What she originally had in mind was to go there still cloaked, away from most of the crowds but still keeping an eye on Rihxo. Instead her plans had changed, during the time she secluded herself, she had come to realize that she was becoming a bit more crazy each day. Overworking herself and obsessing over the current situation while being alone wasn't helping her mentally. She thought that lending her aid at the Grindstone would do her some good.

She was a healer who was with Judge's group. Instead of staying cloaked, she decided to ditch the robs and finally show her face. No one there knew who she really was to begin with, so she had nothing to loose. During the entire time, she kept a watchful eye for glowing blue armor.

After the Grindstone, she approached Rihxo and Gil to let them know that she wouldn't seclude herself away that much anymore. That she would go out in the open more often, when it was safe. However her words were rather hollow, as she would just slip back into her old habits.

It only took her about a week to recover. She felt fine and was ready to go out on her own. She went out to Mor Dhona to complete a job she felt so much better. Little did she know that going to Mor Dhona wouldn't be that simple. She happened to find Valen, and against her better judgement decided to follow. Valen remained none the wiser as she followed him in, staying out of sight. It was there she learned that Valen was to hunt Gil, and Rihxo's siblings. She knew she had to escape, to tell Rihxo of the news. She decided to take the opprotunity she had to hijack a magitek reaper, and escape. Stalhart pursued her, even after his magitek reaper became immobile.

Once she had reached civilization at Revenants Toll, she ditched the reaper and ran. With Valen now surrounded by Rihxo, Nanai and Singing Raptor with civilians watching, he realized now was not the time to fight. Told them if they wished to continue, to meet him at the Rathefrost. It was rather convenient that Nanagi planned on heading in there as well. Instead of fighting, she simply explained to Stalhart that she would distance herself, keep herself out of sight while still being able to keep a close eye on him or Rihxo.

It was after this meeting that Nanagi went off the grid, never to be seen for a rather long period of time.

(11/22) She found Valen at the Grindstone; he seemed to be walking away from Ul'dah. It wasn't until that she saw him in the Thaumaturge guild in full armor that she knew something was wrong. She was able to have Gil take the drunken Rihxo away as she fallowed Valen, knowing that he was leading her into a trap. Little did she know that a Magitek Reaper would be involved. She deactivated one of her linkpearls, in hopes that Gil would realize it was to act as a distress beacon. Luckily, Gil understood, and came to her aid. She went past her aetherial capabilities for a 2nd time in attempts to finish off Valen right then and there; her spell did not go off in the right place, but still injured him. She put up a protective spell before Valen took the final blow with his reaper, and now the Garleans think her to be dead. If it wasn't for [[Jancis Milburga]]'s healing techniques, and [[Singing Raptor]]'s aether donation, Nanagi wouldn't be alive.

(11/16) Rihxo had contacted Nanagi; she wanted to talk to her about something rather urgent. Turns out that her theories about Valen Stalhart were right, for he tried to kill Rihxo the day before. Originally, Nanagi had plans to kill him. Surprisingly, Rihxo was able to convince her that it was not Valen's choice, that he didn't want to kill Rihxo. She stated that there were 'voices in his head telling him to kill her'. She told Nanagi that she thought there was a way to help him, but she didn't know how.

With that, Nanagi decided that instead of going out and killing Valen, she would instead spend as much of her time possible in finding ways to help him.

'''Nanagi Nagi''' was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life.

Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so.

She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change

Currently apart of the mercenary company known as Solace.

=Appearance=
[[File:Nagi Icon.png|250px|left]]
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely.

Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average.

Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.

====Scars/Markings====
*Her right hand is badly burned. The blisters went deep, and she will have the markings forever. Due to this, she often covers the hand with a bandage.
*Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.

=Behavior=
[[File:Nanagi2.jpeg|330px|frameless|right]]
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all!

On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself.

On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

=Combat=
===Weapon(s):===
Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one.

Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now.

===Combat Style:===
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best mage she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees.

She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells.

Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.

She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration.

=Background=

==Birth and Early Life:==
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks.
Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books.

If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.

==Her Teen Years:==
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before.
Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself.

Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner.

Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best.

She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.

==The event that turned her life upside down:==
A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
: She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location.

She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

(11/10-11/11) After having time to think of a plan, Nanagi thought she was ready to get her stolen staff back. She asked for Rihxo's assistance in the matter. After explaining the plan to go into the Amalj'aa camp and surrender themselves, she told Rihxo that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going. No one could know. When they went into the camp, they killed a few of the Amalj'aa before surrendering themselves. Nanagi hopes that while they are being held captive that she will be able to find an opening to gain their weapons back. Time is of the essence considering that the Amalj'aa wish to sacrifice them to Ifrit along with others if the beasts manage to find others.

|-
|
Nanagi is currently recovering from injuries. After casting a powerful spell that she didn’t know how to cast properly, her aetheric energy levels dropped to deathly low. If it wasn’t for a Medic who happened to live in the Forgotten Springs, Nanagi would probably be dead. Although she has had time to recover, she is still relatively weak, and hasn’t been able to cast any magic. Even if she wanted to, she can’t because her special staff was stolen from her by Amalj’aa.

'''Nanagi has recovered from her injuries. The only noticeable injury now are the burn marks on her hand. If they are not covered in bandages, they markings are quite noticeable. She was also able to obtain her staff.'''

However, once they received their pay, they were told that they would receive no credit for killing the assassin. No one will even know the details on how the assassin died.

Nanagi stayed hiddent for a long time, while still keeping some sort of contact with her friends. She sent a letter to Rihxo stating that she should go to the Grindstone, it would do her good. Give her more experience without murdering anyone. Knowing that wouldn't convince her enough, she mentioned that she would be there as well. What she originally had in mind was to go there still cloaked, away from most of the crowds but still keeping an eye on Rihxo. Instead her plans had changed, during the time she secluded herself, she had come to realize that she was becoming a bit more crazy each day. Overworking herself and obsessing over the current situation while being alone wasn't helping her mentally. She thought that lending her aid at the Grindstone would do her some good.

She was a healer who was with Judge's group. Instead of staying cloaked, she decided to ditch the robs and finally show her face. No one there knew who she really was to begin with, so she had nothing to loose. During the entire time, she kept a watchful eye for glowing blue armor.

After the Grindstone, she approached Rihxo and Gil to let them know that she wouldn't seclude herself away that much anymore. That she would go out in the open more often, when it was safe. However her words were rather hollow, as she would just slip back into her old habits.

It only took her about a week to recover. She felt fine and was ready to go out on her own. She went out to Mor Dhona to complete a job she felt so much better. Little did she know that going to Mor Dhona wouldn't be that simple. She happened to find Valen, and against her better judgement decided to follow. Valen remained none the wiser as she followed him in, staying out of sight. It was there she learned that Valen was to hunt Gil, and Rihxo's siblings. She knew she had to escape, to tell Rihxo of the news. She decided to take the opprotunity she had to hijack a magitek reaper, and escape. Stalhart pursued her, even after his magitek reaper became immobile.

Once she had reached civilization at Revenants Toll, she ditched the reaper and ran. With Valen now surrounded by Rihxo, Nanai and Singing Raptor with civilians watching, he realized now was not the time to fight. Told them if they wished to continue, to meet him at the Rathefrost. It was rather convenient that Nanagi planned on heading in there as well. Instead of fighting, she simply explained to Stalhart that she would distance herself, keep herself out of sight while still being able to keep a close eye on him or Rihxo.

It was after this meeting that Nanagi went off the grid, never to be seen for a rather long period of time.

(11/22) She found Valen at the Grindstone; he seemed to be walking away from Ul'dah. It wasn't until that she saw him in the Thaumaturge guild in full armor that she knew something was wrong. She was able to have Gil take the drunken Rihxo away as she fallowed Valen, knowing that he was leading her into a trap. Little did she know that a Magitek Reaper would be involved. She deactivated one of her linkpearls, in hopes that Gil would realize it was to act as a distress beacon. Luckily, Gil understood, and came to her aid. She went past her aetherial capabilities for a 2nd time in attempts to finish off Valen right then and there; her spell did not go off in the right place, but still injured him. She put up a protective spell before Valen took the final blow with his reaper, and now the Garleans think her to be dead. If it wasn't for [[Jancis Milburga]]'s healing techniques, and [[Singing Raptor]]'s aether donation, Nanagi wouldn't be alive.

(11/16) Rihxo had contacted Nanagi; she wanted to talk to her about something rather urgent. Turns out that her theories about Valen Stalhart were right, for he tried to kill Rihxo the day before. Originally, Nanagi had plans to kill him. Surprisingly, Rihxo was able to convince her that it was not Valen's choice, that he didn't want to kill Rihxo. She stated that there were 'voices in his head telling him to kill her'. She told Nanagi that she thought there was a way to help him, but she didn't know how.

With that, Nanagi decided that instead of going out and killing Valen, she would instead spend as much of her time possible in finding ways to help him.

'''Nanagi Nagi''' was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life.

Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so.

She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change

Currently apart of the mercenary company known as Solace.

=Appearance=
[[File:Nagi Icon.png|250px|left]]
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely.

Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average.

Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.

====Scars/Markings====
*Her right hand is badly burned. The blisters went deep, and she will have the markings forever. Due to this, she often covers the hand with a bandage.
*Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.

=Behavior=
[[File:Nanagi2.jpeg|330px|frameless|right]]
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all!

On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself.

On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

=Combat=
===Weapon(s):===
Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one.

Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now.

===Combat Style:===
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best mage she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees.

She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells.

Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.

She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration.

=Background=

==Birth and Early Life:==
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks.
Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books.

If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.

==Her Teen Years:==
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before.
Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself.

Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner.

Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best.

She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.

==The event that turned her life upside down:==
A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
: She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location.

She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

(11/10-11/11) After having time to think of a plan, Nanagi thought she was ready to get her stolen staff back. She asked for Rihxo's assistance in the matter. After explaining the plan to go into the Amalj'aa camp and surrender themselves, she told Rihxo that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going. No one could know. When they went into the camp, they killed a few of the Amalj'aa before surrendering themselves. Nanagi hopes that while they are being held captive that she will be able to find an opening to gain their weapons back. Time is of the essence considering that the Amalj'aa wish to sacrifice them to Ifrit along with others if the beasts manage to find others.

Nanagi is currently recovering from injuries. After casting a powerful spell that she didn’t know how to cast properly, her aetheric energy levels dropped to deathly low. If it wasn’t for a Medic who happened to live in the Forgotten Springs, Nanagi would probably be dead. Although she has had time to recover, she is still relatively weak, and hasn’t been able to cast any magic. Even if she wanted to, she can’t because her special staff was stolen from her by Amalj’aa.

'''Nanagi has recovered from her injuries. The only noticeable injury now are the burn marks on her hand. If they are not covered in bandages, they markings are quite noticeable. She was also able to obtain her staff.'''

(10/27) She found a wanted poster for an assassin; the person was offering a large sum of money to anyone who could kill the woman. She asked for Rihxo Matoi’s assistance, and Rihxo accompanied her. Once the killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they returned to Ul’dah for their pay. However, once they received their pay, they were told that they would receive no credit for killing the assassin. No one will even know the details on how the assassin died. Nanagi didn’t mind not receiving credit.

It only took her about a week to recover. She felt fine and was ready to go out on her own. She went out to Mor Dhona to complete a job she felt so much better. Little did she know that going to Mor Dhona wouldn't be that simple. She happened to find Valen, and against her better judgement decided to follow. Valen remained none the wiser as she followed him in, staying out of sight. It was there she learned that Valen was to hunt Gil, and Rihxo's siblings. She knew she had to escape, to tell Rihxo of the news. She decided to take the opprotunity she had to hijack a magitek reaper, and escape. Stalhart pursued her, even after his magitek reaper became immobile.

Once she had reached civilization at Revenants Toll, she ditched the reaper and ran. With Valen now surrounded by Rihxo, Nanai and Singing Raptor with civilians watching, he realized now was not the time to fight. Told them if they wished to continue, to meet him at the Rathefrost. It was rather convenient that Nanagi planned on heading in there as well. Instead of fighting, she simply explained to Stalhart that she would distance herself, keep herself out of sight while still being able to keep a close eye on him or Rihxo.

It was after this meeting that Nanagi went off the grid, never to be seen for a rather long period of time.

(11/22) She found Valen at the Grindstone; he seemed to be walking away from Ul'dah. It wasn't until that she saw him in the Thaumaturge guild in full armor that she knew something was wrong. She was able to have Gil take the drunken Rihxo away as she fallowed Valen, knowing that he was leading her into a trap. Little did she know that a Magitek Reaper would be involved. She deactivated one of her linkpearls, in hopes that Gil would realize it was to act as a distress beacon. Luckily, Gil understood, and came to her aid. She went past her aetherial capabilities for a 2nd time in attempts to finish off Valen right then and there; her spell did not go off in the right place, but still injured him. She put up a protective spell before Valen took the final blow with his reaper, and now the Garleans think her to be dead. If it wasn't for [[Jancis Milburga]]'s healing techniques, and [[Singing Raptor]]'s aether donation, Nanagi wouldn't be alive.

(11/16) Rihxo had contacted Nanagi; she wanted to talk to her about something rather urgent. Turns out that her theories about Valen Stalhart were right, for he tried to kill Rihxo the day before. Originally, Nanagi had plans to kill him. Surprisingly, Rihxo was able to convince her that it was not Valen's choice, that he didn't want to kill Rihxo. She stated that there were 'voices in his head telling him to kill her'. She told Nanagi that she thought there was a way to help him, but she didn't know how.

With that, Nanagi decided that instead of going out and killing Valen, she would instead spend as much of her time possible in finding ways to help him.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant crimson eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her left one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.
: ■ Any direct mention of the Calamity makes her incredibly sad. She doesn't like to talk about why.
: ■ She's a bit of a ditz. And sometimes just plain an idiot.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.
: ■ Perceptive, despite her one eye.
: ■ A talented singer.
: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===
: ■ When people touch or play with her hair, she tends to purr.
: ■ When drunk, she's very affectionate and gets tired, often ending up in someone's lap.
: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]

Rihxo's fighting style is very elegant, surprisingly enough; all of her movements tend to look like she's performing a very intricate dance. She prefers to keep her distance from a target - not below using laced arrows and carefully placed, precise strikes to help disable them - before going for the killing shot, often aimed at the temple. If someone gets too close - as in, she is completely unable to use her bow - she will pull daggers from her boots (always thigh-high for this reason) and begin to fight with those, though this is seen as a last resort. If there is clearly no hope for her, she will flee if she deems it necessary in order to live. Her arrows are color-coded for her own sake; all have red fletchings, but the 'fiery hot' ones have red shafts. Rarely, a killing blow will be dealt with a green-fletched arrow. This is her way of honoring her father, X'matoi, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

|-

Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

|-

While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

|-

Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant crimson eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her left one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.
: ■ Any direct mention of the Calamity makes her incredibly sad. She doesn't like to talk about why.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]

Rihxo's fighting style is very elegant, surprisingly enough; all of her movements tend to look like she's performing a very intricate dance. She prefers to keep her distance from a target - not below using laced arrows and carefully placed, precise strikes to help disable them - before going for the killing shot, often aimed at the temple. If someone gets too close - as in, she is completely unable to use her bow - she will pull daggers from her boots (always thigh-high for this reason) and begin to fight with those, though this is seen as a last resort. If there is clearly no hope for her, she will flee if she deems it necessary in order to live. Her arrows are color-coded for her own sake; all have red fletchings, but the 'fiery hot' ones have red shafts. Rarely, a killing blow will be dealt with a green-fletched arrow. This is her way of honoring her father, X'matoi, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant crimson eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her left one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]

Rihxo's fighting style is very elegant, surprisingly enough; all of her movements tend to look like she's performing a very intricate dance. She prefers to keep her distance from a target - not below using laced arrows and carefully placed, precise strikes to help disable them - before going for the killing shot, often aimed at the temple. If someone gets too close - as in, she is completely unable to use her bow - she will pull daggers from her boots (always thigh-high for this reason) and begin to fight with those, though this is seen as a last resort. If there is clearly no hope for her, she will flee if she deems it necessary in order to live. Her arrows are color-coded for her own sake; all have red fletchings, but the 'fiery hot' ones have red shafts. Rarely, a killing blow will be dealt with a green-fletched arrow. This is her way of honoring her father, X'matoi, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

|-

Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

==Character==
===General===
A former Garlean soldier, Valen Stalhart defected from the powerful empire shortly before The Calamity. Afterwards, he wandered Eorzia for many years before finally finding his way to La Nosca, where he joined the Free Company Arcadeus. To this day though, he still keeps his former affiliation with Garlemald a secret, and has only disclosed the information with a small handful of people.
==Before The Calamity==
===Early Life===
Born into a family of fisherman in the Garlean Empire, Valen was raised with a very humble upbringing. Not being a full-blooded Garlean, he spent most of his childhood living hand-to-mouth, but always managed to get by. He had no brothers nor sisters, but did share a very close relationship with his mother and father. However, the life of a fisherman wasn’t for him. Once he came of age, he traded in his gaff for a spear, and through vigorous training managed to join the ranks of the Garlean Empire’s Military.

===Service Under Garlemald===
For three years he served as a lancer for The Empire, scratching and clawing his way through the ranks. Despite his combat prowess, he never managed to become anything more than a lowly Legionarius in the Garlean Empire due to his superiors’ nepotism towards full-blooded Garleans. However, his skills did not go unnoticed. Realizing that his abilities could be utilized, Valen’s commanding officer had him inducted into Garlemald’s experimental battalion, the Magitek Knights.

As a part of his induction, Valen was implanted with a Magitek chip directly into his brain, as well as various other Magitek augmentations throughout his body. The implants enhanced both his physical and mental capabilities, allowing him to emulate similar abilities to that of a Dragoon, all the while without needing to wield the soul of a dragon.

Due to the relative secrecy of the Magitek Knights, Valen's duties mostly consisted of low-key assassinations, sabotage, or seek and destroy missions. During one such mission, he was sent to kill a lalafell merchant on a trade route through Thanalan. However, he was under the guard of the highly skilled archer, [[X'matoi Tia]]. Tia managed to keep Valen at bay while the merchant escaped, and even tried to dissuade Stalhart from continuing to fight for the Garlean Empire. While X'matoi was unable to convince Valen, his words did not fall unto deaf ears.

Ultimately, Stalhart managed to close the distance between him and X'matoi, and stabbed him with his spear. He thought the Miqo'te to be dead, and left him to rot. However, X'matoi still yet lived, as Valen found out a few years later when he overheard tales of the archer's exploits while he was on assignment.

After the battle with Tia, Stalhart considered the Miqo'te's seemingly genuine request for him to abandon Garlemald and come to the other side. It was this seed that planted skepticism in him, and ultimately helped him come to the realization that he had no true sense of free will. The chip in his brain had been forcing him to obey Garlemald's commands, and he had been made none the wiser to it until his confrontation with X'matoi. When he tried to resist his commands, the chip would send pulses throughout his entire body, leaving him in agony. This left him with no other choice but to follow through with the orders he was given, lest he wish to suffer at the Empire's hands.

===Defection, and Days Leading to The Calamity===
After eight grueling years of serving as a Magitek Knight, through either his own sheer will or faulty programming on the part of the implant, or perhaps both, Valen managed to overcome the chip’s grasp while on assignment, and fled shortly thereafter. Valen was declared a traitor to his nation and his people, and the Garlean Military was given the order to kill him on sight.

However, due to the fall of Dalamud, the Garlean Empire was unable to spare the manpower to hunt him down. By the time the Empire had regained footing after The Calamity, the tracker built into Valen’s Magitek chip had long since shorted out after going so long without proper maintenance. With no trace of him to follow, Valen vanished from the Garlean Empire entirely, but to this day still remains an enemy to the nation.

==After The Calamity==

===Finding a Home===
Valen spent the following years after the Calamity wandering Eorzia until he ultimately found his way to Limsa Lominsa. Looking for a place to stay, he stumbled upon [[Anelia Sadowyn]]’s residence, which also acted as a base of operations for her Free Company, Arcadeus.

After a little convincing, he talked Anelia into letting him stay so long as he pulled his weight. However, when Anelia inquired about where he came from, he privately disclosed his former affiliation with Garlemald, only to learn that Anelia had just as much a vendetta against the Garlean Empire as he did. However, she insisted that Valen keep his origins a secret from the others living at the residence, as not to cause any unnecessary tension between them.

However, the ever clever [[Seldi Witt]] managed to pry the information out of him upon sensing that he was hiding something from her. She seemed to take a keen interest in his Magitek implants, but appeared to be unfazed by his Garlean background. She offered to help him figure out a way to either remove the implant in his brain, or at least find a way to repair it. However that is currently something that is not likely to happen for quite some time.

==Unbreakable Chains==

===Friend or Foe?===

On the side he sometimes does freelance work for the Maelstrom. Typically it is little more than simple reconnaissance or patrolling. Though he does occasionally receive missions that are of higher importance, they are far and few between. Most recently they requested him to watch over the young Miqo'te, [[Rihxo Matoi]]. He wasn't told the reason why other than that someone paid the Maelstrom a substantial amount of gil to ensure that no harm came to her.

Valen delved into research on the Miqo'te's family, scouring to find any reason someone would wish for Rihxo to be protected. He uncovered a substantial amount of information on her parents. Once he learned who her parents were, he recognized their names from his time serving for Garlemald. Her father was none other than X'matoi himself, the same X'matoi he had faced so many years prior in his youth. Though they were presumed dead, Valen believed the Garleans might have reason to wish to bring an end to the Matoi family line. With this information, he feared that the Garleans would send a Magitek Knight to kill her. While this did indeed prove to be the case, it was not in the way that Valen had imagined.

After venturing to Northern Thanalan to investigate the Garlean base in the area, he blacked out, and awakened days later in the alley behind the Qucksand. Not knowing what to do, he called for Rihxo to help him. When she arrived, Valen was delirious. He believed himself to be having another headache, as they had been growing more and more prominent. However, when he felt the familiar marionette strings gripping into his mind, he realized that the Garleans were retaking control over him, and that they were ordering him to kill Rihxo.

Though he tried his best to resist, his mind gave way, and allowed for Garlemald to take control once again. Fortunately, Rihxo's boyfriend, [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], and his friends [[Caen Jabari]], and [[Singing Raptor]] arrived just before Valen lost control. The last words Stalhart uttered before losing control of himself was "Rihxo, run." After that, he engaged in combat with Gil, Caen, and Raptor. After a brief fight, Valen realized that his target had escaped, and that to continue fighting was pointless, so he teleported away to Mor Dhona to consider his next move, leaving no decisive winner.

===Seeking Help===

One of the first things he did upon gaining a semblance of control over himself was to write a letter to Seldi, the only person in his Free Company who knew the extent of what his implants could do. Though it was a long-shot, he couldn't think of anyone else to turn to. After a brief time, though, [[Nanagi Nagi]] reached out to Valen, claiming that she might have a way to help free him from the shackles of his implants. Interested to see both how she learned of his implants, as well as how she could possibly help him, he met up with her in Thanalan to hear her out.

Ultimately, while thankful for her attempt to help, Valen was unimpressed. Nanagi had merely learned the name of someone who might be able to help him, and nothing more than that. However, Valen did take notice that Rihxo was listening in on the conversation. Valen took this moment to draw his spear on her, but did not act upon it. Forcing control upon himself, he told both of them it was unwise for Rihxo to be near him.

A few days later, Valen found himself wandering through Thanalan, approaching Ul'Dah for reasons he couldn't quite understand at the time. However, upon seeing a familiar face from his Free Company, and Au Ra named Tatsumi, he snapped back into reality. Their conversation was brief, but through it he did come to learn that Seldi had left to Coerthas and wouldn't be back for some time. After Tatsumi left, Valen noticed a familiar Lalafell attempting to inconspicuously listen in on his conversation.

When he approached Nanagi, she asked him what he was doing there. To that, Valen told her he wasn't quite sure. After some rather simple deduction, he came to conclude that he must've been trying to find Rihxo, since she could always be found in the grand city of Ul'Dah. Nanagi requested that Valen leave, to which he complied. Unfortunately, Valen returned to Ul'Dah that night, this time completely under Garlean control.

===Losing Control===

Growing tired of Nanagi's interference, Garlemald ordered for Valen to kill her as well. Unable to fight for control of himself, Valen went to Ul'Dah and tracked down Rihxo, Gil, and Nanagi, but remained a distance away. He knew that after a while, Gil and Rihxo would flee elsewhere, but Nanagi would try to persue him, which would place the Lalafell right into his trap.

Everything went just as Valen had planned, and Nanagi followed Valen into Central Thanalan, where he cornered her in the Sil'Dih Excavation Site. He then boarded his Magitek Reaper and began attacking her. He told her that he had no other choice in the matter, and he could not resist the orders he was given. Mustering all the willpower he could, Valen told Nanagi to use her Manaward to survive the blast, that way Garlemald would presume her dead and then they could relieve the order.

Instead, the injured Nanagi chose to run. Valen chased her down until Gil came to Nanagi's aid. Weakened, Nanagi used all of the power she had left to use a massive blast of aether. However, he dazed state only allowed for the attack to graze Valen's Reaper. After pleading with her one final time to use her Manaward, Valen opened fire with his Reaper onto Nanagi just as she was finally able to cast the protective spell.

After Nanagi fell, he told Gil to not follow him. He then returned to Mor Dhona and delivered a message to Rihxo over his linkpearl. He told her that while he was thankful for what Nanagi tried to do for him, it only placed her in danger, and that he has come to believe that there is no escaping from Garlemald this time. He said the only way he could see this ending was if either he kills Rihxo, or she kills him. He told the Miqo'te to be the warrior her parents would be proud to see her become, and then maybe this nightmare could finally come to an end. Afterwards, Valen crushed the linkpearl.

===Confronted===

About a week after the incident, Nanagi had recovered from her wounds for the most part and was venturing through Mor Dhona when she by chance came across Valen on his Magitek Reaper, heading towards the Garlean base. Despite her better judgement, she followed him into the base while remaining hidden. Unaware of her presence, Valen continued about his duties at the base before being contacted by his superiors in Garlemald. They informed him that Gil was the only thing that stood between him and Rihxo, so he needed to be eliminated, or at the very least subdued. He was also informed that Rihxo's siblings were to be eliminated as well. Despite his protests, Garlemald would not withdraw the command.

Afterwards, Nanagi hijacked a Reaper to escape the base. Valen of course took notice and chased her down on his already damaged Reaper from their previous encounter. Due to the previous damages, Valen's Reaper was rendered immobile, but that did not stop him from continuing to chase down the lalafell.

He followed her all the way to Revenant's Toll, where he was surrounded by Nanagi, Rihxo, and Singing Raptor. Stalhart readied himself for combat, but withdrew his weapon when he noticed how many bystanders had gathered. Having no desire to allow for innocent blood to be shed in the crossfire, he told them that if they truly wanted to finish this, then he would be waiting at Rathefrost.

The three followed him, but not to fight. Instead, they tried to get through to him. The efforts proved futile, however. Despite this, Valen did tell Rihxo about Gil and her siblings becoming targets, and also assured her that out of respect for Rihxo's parents, he would give her the chance at a fair fight against him when the time came for him to kill her. That time though was drawing near, and he couldn't delay his duty for much longer. So he told her that she needed to become stronger, and soon if she had any hope to beat him.

Before heading back to the base, Raptor asked Valen what he considered home. To that, he answered Arcadeus, the Free Company that took him in despite his past affiliations. Afterwards, Stalhart left, and ventured to the snowy mountains of Coerthas, where he studied Rihxo from afar. While in Coerthas, he resided in Behemoth's Dominion, awaiting the great beast to reveal himself so Stalhart could challenge him.

===Calm Before The Storm===

While waiting, he contacted Gil through a letter, requesting for the Dragoon to meet him in Behemoth's Dominion. Once there, he made it clear that he had no intention of fighting Gil, and told Gil that as long as the elezen did not interfere with his and Rihxo's battle, then he would not be a target, and Valen would spare him.

Much to Stalhart's surprise, Gil told him that he had already promised Rihxo that he would not interfere with their battle when the time came. While Valen wanted to believe this, he made a few attempts to taunt the Dragoon to ensure that Gil's word was true. Had the elezen drawn his spear from simple goading, then Valen would've been certain that Gil would have lacked the discipline needed to stay out of the fight. However, the Dragoon remained vigilant and did not attack. Pleased with Gil's self control, Valen dismissed him and returned to awaiting for Behemoth.

It wasn't long after that when the legendary beast showed its face. Stalhart faced Behemoth and managed to break one of his horns. While it was little more than a superficial wound to the creature, it was a still a testament to Valen's skill. Once the beast returned to its slumber, Valen left Coerthas after using the horn from Behemoth to construct a mighty Thundercloud spear.

After leaving Coerthas, he ventured back to Thanalan, where Rihxo had partaken in the Grindstone. Much to his surprise, Nanagi was there as well. After meeting her in Mor Dhona, the lalafell had all but fallen off of the earth, as she had become hard for him to track since then.

After the tournament was over, Valen confronted her while she was alone, and told her the same thing he told Gil, requesting that she not interfere with his and Rihxo's battle. As he expected, the lalafell refused, but did eventually come around when Valen pointed out that all she had ever done was fight Rihxo's battles for her, and that if she had the least bit of respect for her Miqo'te friend, then she would let Rihxo fight him alone. While she did agree to this, Nanagi made it clear that if Rihxo didn't kill him, then she had every intention to finish him off. Valen was ultimately unimpressed, but said that if she felt that strongly about killing him, then she was free to have that battle with him, but it was only to be settled between the two of them. With that, he left and vanished into the city streets.

===Decisive Battle===

After watching over her extensively, Valen finally felt Rihxo was ready to face him. To get the message across, he ransacked her home and threatened Rihxo's siblings, telling her to relay the message for her to meet him in the Lower Paths of the South Shroud. When Rihxo arrived with Gil and Raptor, Valen was wielding Thundercloud, and readied himself for battle.

Rihxo demonstrated her skill, managing to hit Valen with an arrow laced with a very powerful toxin of some kind, but Valen's implants helped him resist the pain. The fight began to trigger memories of Valen's fight with X'Matoi Tia, Rihxo's father, but his severely damaged perception of reality caused him to believe he was reliving that very fight. When Stalhart spotted Nanagi hiding among the trees, this only further pushed him over the edge, believing her to be the lalafell merchant he was sent to kill.

Nanagi defended herself, which left Valen even more confused and uncertain of his surroundings. This mixed with the commands being relayed through the chip in his brain and only further tore his mind asunder. Once he had regained a faint sense of what was going on around, he continued his battle with Rihxo, but not before Nanagi struck him with a thunderbolt.

Even so, he managed to overpower Rihxo, and forced her to step back and fire another one of her toxin-laced arrows. Due to the electricity surging through him, he couldn't dodge out of the way in time. With both his body and mind weakened, Stalhart collapsed to his knees. Rihxo attempted to restrain him and get through to him, which seemed to trigger a violent reaction within Valen's body.

Desperately fighting back the urge to simply grab the Miqo'te and snap her neck with his bare hands, the chip began to send pulses of pain through his body, causing his muscles to spasm out of control. In a fit of both madness and agony, Valen pushed her off of him and began to swing his spear wildly, tearing through trees and cutting down anything and everything he could reach.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt by him. After his mental break, Valen threw Thundercloud into a tree, and then fell to the ground. Rihxo tried to console him and use a Magitek device to disable the chip, only to be calmly told by Valen that it would have no effect, because the chip in his brain had already been destroyed. He explained that he could feel the chip short out during his mental break after he fought so hard to resist his orders. After so much resistance, the old and weathered chip could no longer continue sending pulses through his body, and just broke completely.

Though he was finally free from Garlean control completely, Stalhart didn't appear the least bit thrilled by his newfound freedom. After pulling himself back onto his feet, he blankly told Rihxo and the others that he intended to go to the Praetorium and kill every single Garlean that did this to him, and that they had nothing to fear from him anymore. The Miqo'te asked if she could go with him, to which Valen said she could make her own decisions, and that was her choice to make, not his. Nanagi said that she would go with him as well, should Rihxo go with him. Yet he heard no answer from Gil or Raptor.

After boarding his Magitek Reaper, and leaving behind Thundercloud for Rihxo to keep as a trophy, Valen wished them all a farewell, saying that if he didn't see them at the Praetorium, then this would likely be the last time he ever saw any of them again.

==Personality and Physical Traits==

===Appearance===
Valen is a somewhat tall man with long, dark hair and blue eyes. While he does have very youthful features, he is notably older than he appears. Though he is uncertain, he believes his graceful aging may be due in part to his Magitek implants. Often times he can be found in his elaborate glowing armor, with his face shielded by his Magitek visor. However, on occasion he'll forgo the armor and simply don regular clothes when he's not expecting the possibility of combat. Even then, he still ensures that his armor, or at the very least his spear is kept nearby.

===Mental Health===
Despite the lack of maintenance, the implants’ physical and mental augmentations still continue to work to some degree. However they have a tendency to be unreliable and somewhat sporadic. This has led to Valen suffering many mental and physical side effects that vary from slight headaches to short bursts of psychosis. Fortunately, the more extreme side effects only rarely occur. However, as the chip continues to deteriorate, so too does Valen’s mental stability.
===Demeanor===
On the surface, Valen seems kindhearted, if a little ill mannered and incredibly blunt. He’s more than willing to help those in need, and rarely asks for anything in return. Beneath this kind appearance though, lies a very cynical and jaded man, especially when it comes to the topics of war and combat. His outlook is bleak, and though he hates to admit it, he secretly relishes the heat of combat due to the conditioning he received from the Garleans. During his psychotic breaks, he becomes even worse. He often loses control of himself, becoming paranoid and viewing everyone as a potential enemy. He’ll normally go into seclusion during these episodes and will wait until they come to an end before returning to his companions.

===Combat===
Though Valen will try to avoid combat if at all possible, he is absolutely ruthless when it comes to fighting. His style of is a blend between flurries of vicious brutality and precisely landed devastating blows. The advanced alloy that his Magitek spear is composed of allows for him to rip through even the toughest of armors, but still remains light enough to allow him swift movement. Though he is by no means the mightiest of all spearmen, he is still a force to be reckoned with when he is fueled by the heat of combat.

==Hobbies==
Sometimes if he’s feeling a little on edge, or if perhaps he’s just wanting to relax, he’ll go fishing. Being something that he’s done since he was a child, he finds fishing to be incredibly enjoyable and calming.
===Likes===
::* Fishing
::* The heat of combat
::* Just being a generally helpful person

===Dislikes===
::* The Garlean Empire
::* Overt Optimism

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* Is quite savvy with Magitek equipment
::* Adept Spearman
::* Decent Fisherman

==Relationships==
===Family===
As far as Valen knows, his mother and father are still alive, and still live in the Garlean Empire. However, he has not seen them since he defected, and often fears for their safety considering his current standing with Garlemald.
===Good Standing===

===Neutral Standing===
[[Rihxo Matoi]]: Free from the Garlean Empire, he has no reason to kill Rihxo anymore, and doesn't ever intend to be a bother to her ever again.

[[Gil vel'Jendahr]]: After everything that has happened, he intends to leave the elezen in peace.

[[Singing Raptor]] He bears no ill will towards her, and she seems to bear none towards him. He feels it is best kept that way.

[[Nanagi Nagi]]: Though he knows for certain that she hates him, Valen has no desire to quarrel with her. However, should she still wish to challenge him, then he will grant her that chance.

===Poor Standing===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* “That man is quite odd. He seems nice enough, but something about him just seems off. Maybe it's the visor?” -Storm Soldier
::* “He really knows a lot about all that fancy, hi-tech stuff. I mean, have you seen that spear on his back? It has so many buttons and switches on it, I’d probably lose an eye just trying to hold the damn thing.” -Sailor in La Nosca

::* "I don't like him. No honest man always keeps his face hidden like that." -Storm Officer

===Moderate Rumors===
::* “He comes to me about once a week for headace remidies. I can't imagine what would give him such a chronic illness.” -Apothecary in Limsa Lominsa
::* "He's quite familiar with Magitek, I'd dare say he's an expert on it." -Engineer at Cid's workshop
::* “The man has no history, no past… He’s like a phantom that just showed up from the aether. However, he gets results, and that makes him quite an asset to the Maelstrom” -Merlwyb

===Rare Rumors===
::* “Stalhart is not a man, he is a weapon; a weapon that now wields a mind of its own.” - Vitus Mal Luro, the creator of the Magitek Knights

::* “Truthfully, there isn’t even a point to chasing him down anymore. His Magitek is outdated, and he’ll be a hapless lunatic before long.” -Mitis Quo Nal, Valen's former commanding officer

::* I got word that a squad of Garleans were patrolling through La Nosca, looking for a man with long hair and a Magitek spear… Sound like someone we know?” -Eynzahr Slafyrsyn

===PC Rumors===
Do feel free to add your own rumors
::* "You can't trust him. Once he earns enough trust, he'll just stab you in the back." -[[Nanagi Nagi]]
::* "I kind of hope we can become allies, at least. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I want to be ''something'' like a friend to him." ~[[Rihxo Matoi]]
::*

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.
: ■ Any direct mention of the Calamity makes her incredibly sad. She doesn't like to talk about why.
: ■ She's a bit of a ditz. And sometimes just plain an idiot.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.
: ■ Perceptive, despite her one eye.
: ■ A talented singer.
: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===
: ■ When people touch or play with her hair, she tends to purr.
: ■ When drunk, she's very affectionate and gets tired, often ending up in someone's lap.
: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]

Rihxo's fighting style is very elegant, surprisingly enough; all of her movements tend to look like she's performing a very intricate dance. She prefers to keep her distance from a target - not below using laced arrows and carefully placed, precise strikes to help disable them - before going for the killing shot, often aimed at the temple. If someone gets too close - as in, she is completely unable to use her bow - she will pull daggers from her boots (always thigh-high for this reason) and begin to fight with those, though this is seen as a last resort. If there is clearly no hope for her, she will flee if she deems it necessary in order to live. Her arrows are color-coded for her own sake; all have red fletchings, but the 'fiery hot' ones have red shafts. Rarely, a killing blow will be dealt with a green-fletched arrow. This is her way of honoring her father, X'matoi, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

=RP Hooks=
(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.

: ■ She's a bit of a ditz. And sometimes just plain an idiot.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.
: ■ Perceptive, despite her one eye.
: ■ A talented singer.
: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===
: ■ When people touch or play with her hair, she tends to purr.
: ■ When drunk, she's very affectionate and gets tired, often ending up in someone's lap.
: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

=RP Hooks=
(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-

Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.

: ■ She's a bit of a ditz.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.

: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

=RP Hooks=
(Credit is due to [[Endel Blanche]] for the idea to add in this tab!)

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!

* You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her <s>mane</s> hair smells like berries alongside that.

* Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate title of "Madame Red" from [[Nanagi Nagi|Nanagi]].

* Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.

* About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.

* If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)

* Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to ''always'' have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!

=OOC=

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-

Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: As the 401st doll among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA as an experiment. While since she had broken off from Varthamith and Xyla, she tries to find her own place under the name 'Quint' to avoid any suspicion. All she wants is the destruction of those who made her and hopefully find peace in this world.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Xyla wears glasses on her face to help her read better.

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Xyla has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

While the memories of the real Xyla's past resides inside her, it is not her history...
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
Xyla Quintessence was born in the Shroud to a loving family. Yet as time went on, her powers and potency with the Aether lines became far too strong. Her parents would abandon her in fear that she might cause much strife to the point of reducing the woman to a hermit. Living out in an abandoned cave in Snakemolt she would make a name for herself as the 'Black Witch'. Able to aid those who request just about anything...yet the greed of people were more attracted than say looking for lost items or people. They asked for money, fame, strength and so on. Even with warnings, those clinets ignored them and were given that which they asked for...with heavy prices.

Her reputation turned from caution to being blamed as a murderer and deadly. As a loner it made sense to pin blame on those with no family ties or friends. And soon enough, a militia was sent to kill the witch.

Before the final blow could be drawn, an Elezen male reached out his hand after slaughtering the militia and asked...

"Do you want to cleanse this world with me?"

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">After Creation</div>====

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was a test to use Au Ra DNA and see if other races could be used. Though it worked, this one was weak in physical strength unlike the rest and her personality was warped due to the genetics. As such, Varthamith proposed an idea...

Either be a failure and reduced to her primordial state, or be useful for pleasure on the side.

She bit the bullet and took his offer, not wanting to die like the other failures.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>
: Combat is the last thing Xyla wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells!

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Xyla excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level.

: Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

(11/6) ''Uncovering Secrets''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]])
|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

'''Nanagi Nagi''' was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life.

Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so.

She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change

Currently apart of the mercenary company known as Solace.

=Appearance=
[[File:Nagi Icon.png|250px|left]]
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely.

Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average.

Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.

====Scars/Markings====
*Her right hand is badly burned. The blisters went deep, and she will have the markings forever. Due to this, she often covers the hand with a bandage.
*Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.

=Behavior=
[[File:Nanagi2.jpeg|330px|frameless|right]]
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all!

On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself.

On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

=Combat=
===Weapon(s):===
Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one.

Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now.

===Combat Style:===
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best mage she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees.

She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells.

Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.

She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration.

=Background=

==Birth and Early Life:==
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks.
Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books.

If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.

==Her Teen Years:==
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before.
Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself.

Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner.

Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best.

She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.

==The event that turned her life upside down:==
A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
: She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location.

She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

(11/10-11/11) After having time to think of a plan, Nanagi thought she was ready to get her stolen staff back. She asked for Rihxo's assistance in the matter. After explaining the plan to go into the Amalj'aa camp and surrender themselves, she told Rihxo that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going. No one could know. When they went into the camp, they killed a few of the Amalj'aa before surrendering themselves. Nanagi hopes that while they are being held captive that she will be able to find an opening to gain their weapons back. Time is of the essence considering that the Amalj'aa wish to sacrifice them to Ifrit along with others if the beasts manage to find others.

Nanagi is currently recovering from injuries. After casting a powerful spell that she didn’t know how to cast properly, her aetheric energy levels dropped to deathly low. If it wasn’t for a Medic who happened to live in the Forgotten Springs, Nanagi would probably be dead. Although she has had time to recover, she is still relatively weak, and hasn’t been able to cast any magic. Even if she wanted to, she can’t because her special staff was stolen from her by Amalj’aa.

'''Nanagi has recovered from her injuries. The only noticeable injury now are the burn marks on her hand. If they are not covered in bandages, they markings are quite noticeable. She was also able to obtain her staff.'''

(10/27) She found a wanted poster for an assassin; the person was offering a large sum of money to anyone who could kill the woman. She asked for Rihxo Matoi’s assistance, and Rihxo accompanied her. Once the killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they returned to Ul’dah for their pay. However, once they received their pay, they were told that they would receive no credit for killing the assassin. No one will even know the details on how the assassin died. Nanagi didn’t mind not receiving credit.

Nanagi stayed hiddent for a long time, while still keeping some sort of contact with her friends. She sent a letter to Rihxo stating that she should go to the Grindstone, it would do her good. Give her more experience without murdering anyone. Knowing that wouldn't convince her enough, she mentioned that she would be there as well. What she originally had in mind was to go there still cloaked, away from most of the crowds but still keeping an eye on Rihxo. Instead her plans had changed, during the time she secluded herself, she had come to realize that she was becoming a bit more crazy each day. Overworking herself and obsessing over the current situation while being alone wasn't helping her mentally. She thought that lending her aid at the Grindstone would do her some good.

She was a healer who was with Judge's group. Instead of staying cloaked, she decided to ditch the robs and finally show her face. No one there knew who she really was to begin with, so she had nothing to loose. During the entire time, she kept a watchful eye for glowing blue armor.

After the Grindstone, she approached Rihxo and Gil to let them know that she wouldn't seclude herself away that much anymore. That she would go out in the open more often, when it was safe. However her words were rather hollow, as she would just slip back into her old habits.

|-

It only took her about a week to recover. She felt fine and was ready to go out on her own. She went out to Mor Dhona to complete a job she felt so much better. Little did she know that going to Mor Dhona wouldn't be that simple. She happened to find Valen, and against her better judgement decided to follow. Valen remained none the wiser as she followed him in, staying out of sight. It was there she learned that Valen was to hunt Gil, and Rihxo's siblings. She knew she had to escape, to tell Rihxo of the news. She decided to take the opprotunity she had to hijack a magitek reaper, and escape. Stalhart pursued her, even after his magitek reaper became immobile.

Once she had reached civilization at Revenants Toll, she ditched the reaper and ran. With Valen now surrounded by Rihxo, Nanai and Singing Raptor with civilians watching, he realized now was not the time to fight. Told them if they wished to continue, to meet him at the Rathefrost. It was rather convenient that Nanagi planned on heading in there as well. Instead of fighting, she simply explained to Stalhart that she would distance herself, keep herself out of sight while still being able to keep a close eye on him or Rihxo.

It was after this meeting that Nanagi went off the grid, never to be seen for a rather long period of time.

(11/22) She found Valen at the Grindstone; he seemed to be walking away from Ul'dah. It wasn't until that she saw him in the Thaumaturge guild in full armor that she knew something was wrong. She was able to have Gil take the drunken Rihxo away as she fallowed Valen, knowing that he was leading her into a trap. Little did she know that a Magitek Reaper would be involved. She deactivated one of her linkpearls, in hopes that Gil would realize it was to act as a distress beacon. Luckily, Gil understood, and came to her aid. She went past her aetherial capabilities for a 2nd time in attempts to finish off Valen right then and there; her spell did not go off in the right place, but still injured him. She put up a protective spell before Valen took the final blow with his reaper, and now the Garleans think her to be dead. If it wasn't for [[Jancis Milburga]]'s healing techniques, and [[Singing Raptor]]'s aether donation, Nanagi wouldn't be alive.

(11/16) Rihxo had contacted Nanagi; she wanted to talk to her about something rather urgent. Turns out that her theories about Valen Stalhart were right, for he tried to kill Rihxo the day before. Originally, Nanagi had plans to kill him. Surprisingly, Rihxo was able to convince her that it was not Valen's choice, that he didn't want to kill Rihxo. She stated that there were 'voices in his head telling him to kill her'. She told Nanagi that she thought there was a way to help him, but she didn't know how.

With that, Nanagi decided that instead of going out and killing Valen, she would instead spend as much of her time possible in finding ways to help him.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

(11/6) ''Uncovering Secrets''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]])
|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

=Background=
[[File:Gilcoffin.png|400px|right]]

==== ''Childhood'' ====
:: Gil was born to a tradesman father and a lesser noble mother. He was their third child, with two older brothers. He was born much later, as his eldest brother had already had a child before Gil was born. As such, Gil was caught between being ignored because his parents were tired, or being spoiled because he was so unexpected.

:: Overall, Gil was treated well as a child, his brothers being extra father-figures to him that he looked up to. His niece, Ellysetta (Ellie) treated him like a doll as she was 9 years older than Gil.
==== ''Teenage Years'' ====
:: It was as a teenager that Gil lost both his brothers in battle. This was a difficult time for Gil as he was losing everyone that he was close to. But it wasn't until his niece was killed that Gil really struggled.

:: With the death of Ellysetta, Gil plummeted into a deep depression. His parents suddenly became overprotective, and their concern made his emotions more volatile. It wasn't until Gil wandered out into the wilderness one night that things changed.

:: Gil left the confines of home, the protection of the village, and fully expecting to not live out the night, traveled until he fell asleep under a tree. In this moment, he had a dream/hallucination of Halone protecting him, saying she needed him to be stronger so he could enforce her will. In the morning, when he woke up, there was blood all around him, but no evidence of what happened. He took this as a sign that his dream was real, and has since devoted himself to becoming strong enough to do whatever Halone requires of him.
==== ''Early Adulthood'' ====
:: The Calamity had another large impact on Gil. By this time, his father had retired, and instead of struggling to stay in their village, the family moved to Ishgard where his mother's family offered them a place to live. As soon as he could however, Gil left Ishgard and the smothering concern of his parents (who still send him regular packages) to become yet stronger for Halone.

| Introduction:
|-
|
“My name is Gillandaris vel Jendahr and I swear my life into Halone’s service. From this day forward, every action I take will be to further Her will.” That was the oath I swore to Halone after she saved my life that night. She only said she neeed my stronger to server her, and I have been training for Her ever since.
 
As soon as I could, I left home to train as a dragoon. I spend a lot of time polishing lances and mucking chocobo stables. Truly, I don’t mind spending so much time in the stables. Yet I wonder if this training will really make me stronger for Halone. I do watch the other dragoons in the practice ring and am finding I can spot weaknesses among the others, yet how can I be stronger if I am never pitted against them?
 
Ser Alberic did train the Azure Dragoon, and I suppose I shall trust in his techniques a while longer.
 
I know not how much longer I can bear the monotony.

|-

Ser Alberic assigned me a task today. It is different than normal as it entails going to Ul’dah. He told me to get a room at the inn rather than rush back. So here I sit at the Quicksand, awaiting a room.
<hr>
After I dropped my bags in my room, I went back to the ‘sand for supper and some ale. I ended up sitting at a table with a simple Miqo’te lad and a mute Hyur. The Miqo’te lad goes by Caen “if’n it please you.” The Hyur goes by Endel. It was a pleasant evening, though Endel knows entire too much about Ishgard and the dragoons.
 
Now that I’ve been to Ul’dah, perhaps I will come by more often. Even if it’s for no other reason than I feel I should keep an eye on Endel.

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" width="100%" border="0"
| 28th Sun of the Fifth Umbral Moon:
|-
|
Ser Alberic sent me to Ul’dah again. He suddenly seems to have a lot of errands there. I wonder if perhaps there is a lesson he is trying to teach me with these ‘urgent’ trips. But no, what can be learned from traveling such a long ways every day that I have no time to continue my training?
 
Tonight I was sitting talking with Endel when this female Miqo’te joined us. Endel looked like hell, so I was trying to get him to eat the food Mother sent me. He refused, however Rihxo, the Miqo’te, seemed to enjoy it very much. I also saw Caen, the simple Miqo’te lad, again. Caen wasn’t there long when Endel suddenly dashed out of the ‘sand, followed shortly after by the sunny lad. Initially, I was apprehensive that Endel and Caen left me alone with Rihxo, but soon I thought nothing of them.
 
Rihxo put me at ease fairly quickly, her bubbly personality making up for my reserved demeanor. She allowed me to try one of her pearl chocolates (which is good, though a little sweet for my taste). We discussed many things, like what she does for a living, and that she sings. I was ashamed to admit I am tone deaf. Rihxo tried to convince me that I could get better with practice. I couldn’t tell her I had already had lessons and that three, count them, three people quit teaching because of me. I did tell her my singing was more like screeching and somehow we started discussing how effective it would be if, instead of a battle cry, I were to sing. That’s the first time since Ellysetta died that I laughed, truly laughed.
 
This bubbly little Miqo’te has stolen my attention and I hope to see her again.

|-
|
Ser Alberic been sending me on nigh daily errands the length and breadth of Eorzea. Although it means I haven’t had much time to maintain my journal, I am still okay with that seems how it was something Ser Alberic told me to do anyways.
 
Yesterday I went back to Ul’dah and Endel seemed quite entranced with the Roegadyn from the other night, so I left him alone. I spoke with another patron until they had to leave, but by then Rihxo had joined me. More and more, I find myself thinking of her.
 
I am quite impressed with the tales she tells of her archery skills. She offered to give me a lesson and while I said I’d be happy to take her up on the offer, I would insist on paying her and I would let her know when I am able to take a break from my training.
 
I knew almost immediately what I wanted to pay Rihxo with; I also knew it would mean a visit to my family, who I have not seen since I started my training.
 
So today, I made the dreaded trip to Ishgard. Thankfully, my uncle was away on business. It was hard enough convincing my father I couldn’t stay. Mother happily made her pie, but I believe she has it in her head that I am courting Rihxo. While I was waiting for Mother, I decided a trip to Saint Reymanaud’s Cathedral was in order.
 
While there, I spoke with a dragoon that pricks my memory, and yet, for the life of me, I cannot place where I know him from. We had a pleasant conversation, Halone watching over us, and it was a nice way to pass the time.
 
Upon picking up the pie from my mother, I had to dodge her comments about bringing Rihxo for a visit. Now, here I sit with a pie beside me, waiting (and hoping) for some company at the ‘sand. I especially hope to run into Rihxo that I might offer my payment and ensure it meets with her approval.

What just happend? What…just…happened? Mayhap if I write it out from the beginning, I will understand it better.
 
I was sitting in the ‘sand tonight when a Lalafell joined me. She looked as though she was injured, yet shook off my concern. She introduced herself as Nanagi, and I wondered if it was the same Nanagi that Rihxo had spoken of. I offered her some of the food Mother had sent me that day, especially as Mother had sent enough food for 4 or 5 people. It was definitely the same Nanagi, for then Rihxo arrived. Rihxo and Nanagi got in a fight, and although I didn’t get involved, I secretly wanted to agree with Rihxo that Nanagi should have been in bed relaxing.
 
After Nanagi left, Rihxo and I sat talking for a little bit as usual. Eventually, Rihxo discovered the pie that Mother had sent. She joked that she must be pretty close to family as she keeps getting dessert. Before I knew it, I confessed that if Mother had her way, we would already have children.
 
I don’t even recall what Rihxo said in response, yet I continued embarrassing myself by saying that if they had Rihxo’s personality, they would be amazing. I know I must have been blushing, but the next words from Rihxo made me want to hide. Rihxo responded by saying that if they looked like me, they would be beautiful.
 
I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t even bring my eyes off the table. I know not how long I sat there, or how long Rihxo tried to get my attention before she left the table.
 
When I finally pulled myself together, she was gone. I felt…alone. For the first time, I truly felt lonely. So I decided to take my leave, yet as I approached the door, I found Rihxo speaking with Caen. Although I’m sure I turned red yet again, I was so happy to see Rihxo wasn’t gone. In the span of a glance, I went from feeling utterly alone to knowing everything would be alright if she would only look at me, if I could see her beautiful smile light her gorgeous eye.
 
Caen is more perceptive than I initially thought as he immediately asked if something had happened. I may need to re-evaluate my opinion of the lad. I also seem to recall him making a comment about how he wishes to find his mate, like Rihxo and I did, yet he walked away shortly after.
 
I think I apologized, but if I did, I know it was still very awkward and may not have sounded sincere. Rihxo asked if I wanted to go somewhere quiet, and when I nodded, she led me to a bridge in Limsa Lominsa. Sitting there, looking out at the sea, I confessed my confused feelings for her. I don’t know what I expected her to say, but it certainly wasn’t that she has romantic feelings for me. As I write this, I now see that I panicked. Yet still, Rihxo was patient with me. She told me that if what I need is time, then she can wait, but she can’t wait forever. I can’t remember what, if anything, I said after that, I was so focused on the feeling of her body pressed against mine as we cuddled. It was a pleasant feeling, one without any pressure, just comfort and warmth. Eventually, Rihxo had to go home, and I returned to the room I have at the ‘sand.
 
Now, having written this, I am suddenly afraid. What if I take too long and something happens to her? Or that Elezen…Achillies?…wins her? I don’t want to think about her not being there, and that, I suppose, is the best answer to my question. When next I see Rihxo, I will ask her.
<hr>
Perhaps Ser Alberic was right to have me keep a journal…

I ran into Rihxo in Limsa today. She was talking with Nanagi and a man that introduced himself as Valen. He is the man Rihxo calls the “Glowy Guy.” I’m not sure I like him, and I definitely don’t trust him. I was glad when he left, though I wish Nanagi could have stayed longer.
 
In the process of talking with everyone, Rihxo took off the bandana that was covering her eyes. While the others were around, I tried not to become transfixed on Rihxo alone. As soon as the others left, I could not stop myself from getting close to her.
 
Rihxo is so beautiful, I found myself unable to look away. The setting sun cast it’s dying light over her, lighting her hair with a gentle glow. The soft blue strands beckoned my touch, yet the look on her face, as though she was afraid I might turn away, run from her for some reason.
 
The pain radiating from her eyes, the left dulled by the scars no less potent or beautiful than the right. I found myself reaching out, cupping her cheek in the palm of my hand, stroking the bone beneath her damaged eye, trying to communicate just how lovely she is without the ability to speak the words, all before I could thing about what I was doing.
 
I remember not what we talked about as it mostly was just happy conversation, time spent together. Shortly, we arranged for the remainder of Mother’s excessively large package to be delivered to Maelstrom Command before I accompanied her to her home. Rihxo also invited me to stay the night, so I write this sitting on the couch that is to be my bed.
 
I had met Ratoh briefly in the ‘sand, but this was the first time I met the rest of Rihxo’s sisters.
 
Although, I hear Rihxo stirring, so further observations will have to wait ‘til another time.

It has been a busy few days, days that have been surprising.
 
When I first saw Rihxo yesterday, I was floored by her appearance as she had a black eye. She told me not to take it seriously, that it was from a sparring match with her brother. Truthfully, that makes me take it more seriously for he should know to better pull his punches when sparring with someone so far below his level, yet i will leave further discussion on that subject for another day.
 
After a while, Rihxo said she had something to tell me, so we went to Limsa, to the spot I will think of as ours from here on out. Once we were settled in, her body tucked up against mine, she told me what she had recently learned.
 
She seems to be taking it harder than she lets on, finding out her parents kept so much from her, yet I know she is strong and will come to terms with it in her own time. The real problem lies with the Garleans that are now tracking the family. To help Rihxo keep her sisters, and herself, safe, I offered my services, pending approval from Ser Alberic of course.
 
This morning, upon returning to the Observatorium, I sought out Ser Alberic, and was pleased to find him alone in his quarters, preparing for the day ahead. He looked at me questioningly, yet offered me a seat as though he knew this might take some time.
 
Afraid that he would just deny my request, I started by telling him about Rihxo. I told him of how I met her while on one of his errands to Ul’dah, and how we had begun the relationship we now shared. Then I told him of Rihxo’s family, the brother she sees rarely, and the three sisters she lived with and how her parents were lost in the Calamity. Finally, I told him of the threat they now faced, the guardian I trust not assigned by Maelstrom to look out for Rihxo, and Rihxo’s concern for her family.
 
I had scarce finished telling Ser Alberic the tale that he nodded at me, and told me Rihxo and her family needed me more than I needed to continue training.
 
With Ser Alberic’s blessing, I returned to my quarters, put on my armor for the first time without going to train in it, and packed my meager belongings before going to Limsa and dropping off my bags. I changed back into my clothes so I could track down Rihxo.
 
I found her, unsurprisingly, in the ‘sand with Endel and M’shi. Before I was able to tell Rihxo, I ended up telling Endel, who seemed to approve of the way things happened. I’m glad to know that he is also going to look out for the Matoi’s when he can.

I am so furious right now, to a point where I cannot even think straight.
 
When I woke up yesterday, Rihxo had already left the house. It was unusual that I slept in past sunrise, so I wasn’t too concerned about it to start. I prepared myself a simple breakfast and was sitting in the silent (for once) Matoi house when there was a knock on the door.
 
Upon answering it, I was greeted by a moogle bearing a letter for me. At first I thought it was from my mother and did not open it. Upon completion of my meal, however, there was something bothering me, a twinge I cannot define. I picked up the letter from where I laid it down and the feeling of unease grew stronger.
 
I opened the letter to find it wasn’t from Mother, but rather Rihxo. She said not to worry, that she might be gone for a few days, but tat she was with Nanagi. As her words sank in, fear gripped my heart.
 
I know from the stories she tells me that her archery is very good, so I don’t worry…much…should she encounter monsters or the beast tribes, but we haven’t discovered anymore about the Garleans yet. The Garleans aren’t apt to send monsters or untrained beastmen; they’ll send trained soldiers, men and women that are taught to kill from an early age.
 
I immediately donned my armor and sought out Rihxo’s sisters. I told them what had happened and that they were to go home. I also gave each one my pearl, an error I now recognize with Rihxo that we have not done, and told them to contact me if they needed me for any reason.
 
Then I headed out in search of clues. Having already turned Limsa upside down looking for Rihxo’s sisters, I started looking further afield. I turned to Ul’dah, the only other place I was familiar with.
 
After searching for bells in the hot Thanalan sun, I stopped in at the ‘sand for some refreshment. There I met Endel again. First, we stepped out into the alley where I explained to him what happened, and eventually we came to the same conclusion, that there is naught we could do but worry.
 
Once inside again, we sat down at our usual table. While we waited for some drinks, Endel asked if I had received a promotion. I explained that normally my armor remained in Coerthas, but due to my staying with the Matoi’s, I had brought it with. When he queried me, I explained I had the dragon well in control.
 
After an evening spent in his company (what is the man’s fascination with the letter ‘e’?), I woke up this morning to the realization that the clue I needed was in front of me all along. Nanagi herself was the clue. I needed to take what I knew of Nanagi and figure out where they would go from there. So I gathered information from Momodi and followed the trail to an Amal’jaa camp. In the morning, I will work my way in and see if I can find any trace of Rihxo and Nanagi.
 
You can be sure they will receive a piece of my mind when I find them.

I admit I was angry. I also admit I was harsh with Rihxo and Nanagi. But my fear, for both of them, was more than I could bear.
 
Before dawn I snuck into the Amal’jaa camp. It was quiet, and almost too easy to sneak in. But it was not long before I found Rihxo and Nanagi bound by cages. I was about to move in and set them free when a group of Amal’jaa came and pulled them out. I discreetly followed only to find that they were to be sacrificed to Ifrit!
 
At that moment, I knew I had to act. The primal looked…excited…and hungry for power.
 
But I still could not keep myself from yelling at them as I approached. In fact, I am ashamed to admit that I was more focused on chastising them than on defeating the immediate threat in front of us. Once we focused on the task at hand, we had no problems defeating the primal. With a few more words exchanged, we decided to relocate to Ul’dah.
 
Nanagi led Rihxo and I to the Thaumaturge Guild where she knew the only people that would be able to hear us would be the guild masters, who would not say anything.
 
I still am not sure they thought through this plan. Nanagi said she had someone staged to get Rihxo out of there if Nanagi’s linkpearl went dead. I felt compelled to point out that by the time the pearl went dead and Nanagi’s backup plan arrived, they both would be dead.
 
Nanagi said something about her staff being irreplaceable. It was not long after that when Nanagi left. Suddenly, I found myself alone with Rihxo, all my anger channeled to her. However, I was no longer focused on their lack of planning, or the fact that the Garleans might have found them. Instead, I found myself coming back time and again to the fact that Rihxo left me no clue where they were going, no idea how to find her, and no way for me to contact her.
 
At one point, I found myself sitting on the floor, my back against the wall. I do not remember how I got there, one minute I was standing by Rihxo, angry, and the next, I am on the floor remembering when they brought my niece’s lifeless body home.
 
I found myself sharing my shame, the shame even my parents do not know about. The shame that i am to blame for my niece’s death for I was supposed to go with her that day, but refused. The shame that my temper tantrum meant I was not there to save her.
 
Then Rihxo said something to me, something I will not forget. She told me she would not let me lose her.

Tonight I sit and write this at the ‘sand. Rihxo sits beside me in companionable silence while we wait new on Endel’s condition. I know not what bell it is, nor do I really care, I will wait as long as it takes.
 
The day started as any other, even including the normal trip to the ‘sand. I saw only M’shi when I arrived. She was sitting at the table alone, fast asleep. Although I noted a chill in the air, discomfort of some of the patrons and employees, and a waitress cleaning blood from the doorframe, I did not pay it any attention at first.
 
When Rihxo arrived, I was quite happy to see her after my behavior yesterday. But the happiness wasn’t to last long as a waitress brought by Endel’s belongings. It was then everything fell into place and I knew something had happened. With dread, I reached for Endel’s journal and it fell open to a spot with a few pages torn out and odd little footprints, footprints that I then saw matched footprints on the table.
 
It wasn’t long before a group of patrons started discussing a dying Miqo’te from the night before. M’shi and Rihxo went to speak with them, and once I had established that the two women were far more dangerous than myself, I left them to see what other clues I could uncover. I found no other overt information, so I returned to the waitress that brought us Endel’s belongings.
 
With an apology, a sizeable bribe, and asking what type of sights I should see, I was directed to the market. Although I was able to return to Rihxo and M’shi, we were interrupted by a cat before I could share the information.
 
First this cat insulted our intelligence before explaining he was the dying Miqo’te from the night before and that Endel was likely dead in an alley. I know not what his motivation was, yet he did show us to Endel, and for that I am grateful. Upon reaching Endel, the cat continued insulting us and asked Endel if he would just hurry up and die already.
 
I already had my reservations about the cat as he supposedly had lost so much blood the night before that the group of rogues M’shi and Rihxo talked to thought he should have died on the Quicksand floor, and yet he was hale and hearty now. But by this time I had taken a dislike to him purely based on his callous remarks.
 
As soon as I was close enough to see Endel, I knew he was in bad shape. I am no stranger to injuries, I am a dragoon after all, and have minor knowledge of how to bind a wound or set a broken bone, but one glance at Endel told me he was well beyond my expertise. For a moment, I even though that Endel was dead, yet I finally saw him take a shallow breath, felt a weak pulse. Finally, his eyes opened.
 
Regardless of the comments the cat made, Rihxo contacted Nanagi, who fortunately was only at the ‘sand, to come help.
 
Thankfully the cat left us to tend our friend without his commentary. It seemed both like no time at all and an eternity before Nanagi arrived. I backed away to allow her room to heal Endel, which she promptly did. She moved back to the ‘sand to secure a room at the inn, sending M’shi to fetch water, and leaving Rihxo and I to get Endel to the inn.
 
Although Endel tried to stand up and walk on his own, I sacrificed his pride for a safer, more expedient option; I picked him up and carried him. Upon reaching the inn room, Nanagi instructed me to lay him on the bed and leave the room. I was happy to comply, knowing I would merely be in the way. Instead I returned to the usual table, where Rihxo joined me.
 
It wasn’t long before Nanagi asked Rihxo for help. Almost as soon as Rihxo left my side, that cat showed back up. He kicked back and made himself comfortable, regardless of the fact that I wanted nothing to do with him.
 
Rihxo returned much sooner than I expected, saying Nanagi kicked her out. I can only assume that M’shi remained behind to help. After a few back and forth comments, Rihxo prompted the cat to tell her who he was as he had intimate knowledge of her, even her penchant for having and sharing chocolate.
 
The cat’s response was to pull out a mask, one I had only seen once for a very short time, one of a simple cat obsessed with chocolate. He was also coy about what happened with Endel; mostly stating that Endel was a hero, “disgustingly valiant and brave.”
 
I am ashamed to say the cat knew which buttons to press to rouse my temper, almost beyond my control, the final straw being when he called Rihxo ugly and stupid. I now know why Ser Alberic said I was not ready yet, as I came very close to losing control of the dragon. The only thing that saved me, that grounded me, was Rihxo. The contact, however small, of her hand in mine, our skin warming to each other, gave me something to focus on. But even that wasn’t enough for me to rein the dragon in. Rihxo, taking my other hand in hers, meeting my gaze, was the last push I needed to secure the dragon’s cage. The worry I saw in her eyes was the final piece I required to leash the dragon.
<hr>
Nanagi finally emerged from the inn and joined Rihxo and I at the table. It is good to know Endel will be okay. I am worried Nanagi pushed herself too hard in caring for Endel; she looked very weary and worn down. She did not stay with Rihxo and I long, leaving, I hope, to get some rest.
 
Rihxo went to check on Endel, and I took the time to clean the armor that M’shi brought out. I do not have the skill to fix the armor, and decided I do should send it to my father when I was finished cleaning it. When I finally finished, I looked up to see Rihxo had rejoined me and was writing in her notebook
 
With a little prompting, Rihxo said she would sing to me, and at no request from me, she turned to a page that I saw was dated the night she was caged by the Amal’jaa.
 
The song she sang both made my heart soar and break, leaving me speechless. I could do naught but allow my touch to communicate to her how I was feeling. Finally, when I was able to find my voice again, I admitted to her my truest fear, the fear that I might lose her.
 
In an effort to get Rihxo to share her concerns with me, I explained to her about the dragon, how close I had come to losing control, and how her touch was all that saved me.
 
Tonight is the first time Rihxo spoke the words to me; the first time she told me she loved me. As I repeated the words to her, I came to realize just how true they were. I love her. Completely.
 
I love you Rihxo.

I was enjoying a relaxing eve with Rihxo tonight, though it was also an evening where I was thoroughly embarrassed.
 
Mother must have been afraid Rihxo was not getting her pies, and she would be right as Rihxo’s sisters have taken to opening the package as soon as it arrives. This time there were two packages, the normal one and one that was smaller with a mark on it that I never thought to see again, the mark from Ellie’s language for “Truemate.” Because we were in the Quicksand, I glossed over the meaning, though I should further explain it to Rihxo later.
 
We passed a pleasant time until Endel retired to his room. Rihxo and I were sitting quietly, just spending time in each other’s company when suddenly, she pulled out a linkpearl and after a brief pause, dashed out of the ‘sand. She left so quickly she left her notebook behind.
 
After a few minutes, I opened it to read the song she had sung for me the other night. I found myself reading every entry. When I had finished it in its entirety, I realized just how long it had been since I had seen Rihxo and suddenly became worried that something had happened to her.
 
As I went to leave the ‘sand, I ran into Caen and a friend of his. With a brief explanation, they offered to help me find Rihxo. Upon leaving the ‘sand, we did not have to go far before we found Rihxo with Stalhart. He was not in good shape and he warned me to keep him away from Rihxo. I do not know what his reasoning is, yet I will be happy to accede to his wish.
 
After he commanded Rihxo to run, and she thankfully obeyed, he attacked me. There is something unusual in his movements. Though they look much like any dragoon I know, there is still something wrong about them. I was grateful for the presence of Caen and Singing Raptor. Between the three of us, we were able to keep Stalhart occupied while Rihxo got away.
 
We all sustained injuries before Stalhart stated there was no reason to continue this when his quarry was no longer present. With those words, he teleported away. I stayed for a short time to ensure that Caen and Singing were all right, but was worried about Rihxo and where Stalhart might have gotten to.
 
I traced Rihxo to the rogue’s guild in Limsa. From there, we went to our spot, a more comfortable place than the front steps of the Sisters of Edelweiss. Rihxo confessed she does not want Stalhart killed, and while I only promised I would not kill him if he did not threaten her life, I will still happily kill the man should Rihxo be endangered.

I received a message from my father and so early this morning; I went to Ishgard and picked up Endel’s armor. By the time I got back to Limsa, the sun was about to rise, so I went directly to our spot to await Rihxo.
 
There was a chill in the air, and rumors flying about a ship called The Danse Macabre. I let the information filter in, and it wasn’t long before Rihxo joined me. A loud Lalafell was chastising what appeared to be an employee about the clothes found in one of the inn rooms.
 
I could not help myself, and looking over my shoulder, I looked at the clothing in question. It struck me as similar to what M’shi wears, and upon commenting on it, Rihxo agreed. With a little discussion, the Lalafell gave the clothing to Rihxo, and finding M’shi’s pen in the pocket, told us we needed to act. Suddenly, all the clues fell into place, what few we had.
 
I passed a message through Momodi to have Endel meet Rihxo and I at the Drowning Wench. With only a short delay, we made our way there, taking a table to wait for Endel.
 
With the added rumors of flaming boards from a waitress, we decided to check out the docks. Unsure of what we were facing, I passed Endel his armor. He excused himself momentarily to put it on.
 
I could not help but feel pride at Father’s work when Endel returned. Without further ado, we headed to the docks. A fisherman spotted Rihxo and asked if she knew what type of creature they had in a cage. My gaze was drawn to the single eye and leathery wings. This was the first time I had seen a voidsent in person. Before this, I had only seen images of them in books.
 
The fisherman offered to take us to Costa del Sol, where The Danse Macabre was rumored to make port. I have been on watercraft before, back when we still lived in Coerthas, yet being on the sea was different than traveling the river. Shan’s words echoed through my head, the first time I had ‘heard’ his voice in a very long time.
 
As the docks appeared for Costa del Sol, the boat shuddered, another voidsent crashing through the deck. Rihxo and I were knocked back before it turned and bit Endel. He attacked it with the spear he’d been carrying, his grip and motions the same as an Ishgard trained dragoon. Attacking the creature myself, I drove it to the deck where it ceased moving.
 
With Rihxo, Endel, and the fisherman swimming the last leg to the dock, I jumped to shore and found a rope to aid Endel. I also made sure to give the fisherman my family’s information so he could receive compensation for helping us, having lost his boat in the process.
 
We started our search on the beach and it was not long before we found a set of footprints and a trail of blood. It led to a small cave where M’shi lay clad in a torn, black ball gown and quite obviously badly injured. Endel rushed to her side, and once again, I felt quite helpless as a friend lay dying. This time, I was not needed at all, so while Rihxo went to fetch M’shi’s brother from the docks, I stepped outside to watch the area for any dangers.
 
Shortly, Rihxo returned with a short Miqo’te male with pink hair that I assume to be M’shi’s brother Trin. He swaggered up to the cave, his tail swishing softly behind him. I am not sure what to think of the man; he wears only a pair of coeurl briefs and carries a bag with him. Yet if he’s able to help M’shi, I cannot complain of his fashion choices.
 
Oddly, while Trin was in the cave with Endel and M’shi, I had this overwhelming sense that it was raining, even to the point that I could taste it, but there was no rain falling. I drew comfort by Rihxo’s presence beside me, her hand in mine, and I pulled her into a soft hug.
 
Endel handed me his spear at once point, and we shortly set forth for the inn at Limsa. Endel carried M’shi protectively.
 
When we arrived at the Drowning Wench, the hustle and bustle of the port was vastly different than in the morning. Endel and Trin took M’shi to a room while Rihxo and I sat at a table. Endel came back out, waited for a waitress to return with two buckets and then promptly disappeared.
 
After a long while, I noted Trin come out, where he spoke with Baderon before he left the Wench. I knew by the way he moved, weary, but with an air of victory, that M’shi would be okay. It was at this time that I allowed my relief to overtake me, my arm still holding Rihxo close.
 
I do not like feeling helpless.

I found Rihxo tonight at the ‘sand, talking with the cat. I find myself unable to say anything around him for fear of giving him any ammunition to use against me.
 
Thankfully he left rather quickly, allowing Rihxo and me to relax at the bar. Rihxo had a little too much to drink. I was enjoying her affectionate touches until Nagi came and warned me Stalhart was around. When he tracked us down, I carried Rihxo to Limsa while Nagi distracted him. After taking Rihxo to the rogue’s guild, I noticed Nagi’s pearl was deactivated and rushed to help, leaving Rihxo under the Sisters’ protective care.
 
When I found Nagi, she was being chased by Stalhart operating a Reaper. I tried to distract Stalhart, but it was no use, he was focused on Nagi. She took a hit from his blasters after casting a spell that appeared to wipe her out. Stalhart left shortly after, leaving me to take care of Nagi.
 
I contacted Rihxo as soon as I could asking her to get to Ul’dah and summon a healer. As soon as I carried Nagi through the front gate, I found Singing Raptor, whose timing is impeccable.
 
Singing knew a healer nearby, and there on the street in front of the adventurer’s guild, she worked her magic on Nagi. All I could think of while I was sitting there was how I had failed Rihxo, how I did not deserve to stay by her side as I could not protect her.
 
Once Nagi was stabilized, I carried her, accompanied by Rihxo and Singing, to Singing’s company house. After getting Nagi settled in, I left the others, know I could not stay with Rihxo, knowing I had allowed Nagi to almost be killed, I had to leave.
 
Rihxo followed me, perhaps knowing that if she let me out of her sight, she would never see mea gain. At first, I was able to ignore her, but I should have known better; I have never been able to ignore Rihxo’s presence, nay, for I am ever acutely aware of where she is in a room. Just outside the house, I could not bear to ignore Rihxo any more.
 
Turning to face Rihxo, I explained that I loved her, but I had failed her. I told her I was sorry, but that I couldn’t stay. As unhappy as it made me to go, I stayed with Rihxo for so long that my resolve began to waver and both of our wishes began to be more important. Finally Rihxo said something that brought me to my knees.
 
“I won’t let you lose me. Don’t let me lose you.”
 
I truly fell to my knees, knowing I could never deny her that request. I apologized to Rihxo, promising to stay by her side whenever she wanted me to. We sealed the promise with a kiss.
 
We returned to Nagi, ensuring she was settled in, yet when we got there, she woke up. Nagi said she had a plan, but that her and I would go get Stalhart and leave Rihxo with Singing. I did not say anything at the time because I did not want to upset Nagi, but I do not like her plan. If I learned anything from tonight, it is that I want Rihxo by my side, not somewhere that I cannot protect her.
 
I want to keep my promise, to not let Rihxo lose me, to protect her.

I hope to wake to the same feeling for the rest of my life. And I almost lost the ability to wake to it even this morning. Even before I opened my eyes, I knew this morning was different.
 
As I awoke, sensations began filtering in one at a time. First was warmth, a pleasant pressure on my chest, and weight around my waist. It took me a while to associate what all the sensations meant.
 
The soft pattern of Rihxo’s breath played across my chest; her ear flicked in her sleep and brushed lightly against my skin. I lay there for nigh a bell just holding Rihxo, enjoying her warmth and the way her soft body was pressed against mine.
 
Before I met Rihxo, I was focused solely on performing Halone’s will. I thought only by being stronger and fighting would I be able to fulfill my oath.
 
Since I met Rihxo, I have been exposed to so much more than I could have imagined. I worry about her, and there is always a part of me focused on her, even when we are not together. She helped me find a way to leash the dragon in a way I did not know was possible.
 
As such, it should be no surprise that I had never thought about settling down, of binding my life to another, beyond the abstract thought that I would be expected to continue the line. Since meeting Rihxo, I no longer imagine my future with a faceless woman. Now I only picture my life with the perfectly curved, blue-haired, green-eyed Miqo’te that is small enough I can easily bear her to safety. A feisty woman that will not allow me to bear her away to safety. The same woman that I woke to find curled on my chest this morning.

After returning to the house early yesterday, I decided it would be a good day to maintain my armor. A thorough cleansing and oiling ensures it remains combat-ready. Especially with what happened to Nagi the other day, and Stalhart still being on the loose, I feel I must remain vigilant.
 
I had finished cleaning my armor and sent a letter to my mother when Rihxo returned. I was glad to be in something that allowed me the pleasure of feeling Rihxo’s body against mine.
 
When she told me she had something to tell me, my warning bells went off. Taking her to the couch, I set Rihxo in my lap, drawing comfort from her presence.
 
The moment Rihxo mentioned Stalhart, I knew it was not going to be a conversation I enjoyed, a fact confirmed by Rihxo. I confessed that I wanted her with me and that I did not agree with Nagi’s plan.
 
Rihxo’s next words made my blood run cold. “It requires me being used as bait.” All I could think was ‘no.’ All I could see was Rihxo lying broken in the white snow, her blood seeping further as I stand helpless to stop it, helpless to save her.
 
Unable to shake the image from my mind, I continued to disagree with Rihxo. Finally, getting nowhere with my protestations, I admitted to Rihxo how the thought of losing her terrified me. Upon her promise that I would not lose her, I explained that losing her, I would be lost.
 
Rihxo banished the image from my mind by telling me that it was the same for her. Focusing on the feel of Rihxo in my arms, her warmth curling against me, I told her I could not understand how she could care for me so much.
 
I do not deserve Rihxo’s love; it is too pure, too good for a man like myself, a man that has gotten those I care about killed.
 
Rihxo would not let that opinion stand. She pointed out all those I had saved as well. I could not speak for a very long time, merely able to hold her lithe body in my arms. Her hands ran soothingly through my hair.
 
After agreeing to Rihxo’s plan, promising that we each would stay safe, I carried Rihxo to bed, uncaring that it was much earlier than we normally retired.
 
I find myself wishing Rihxo would play with my hair again…

Tonight I spent time with Rihxo, hours where I, if not forget, was able to place my concerns about Stalhart at the back of my mind.
 
Tonight, Rihxo and I went on a date. Having never been to Gridania, I asked Rihxo to be my guide. Upon arriving, we went to the Archer’s Guild. I was happy to see where Rihxo has been doing her training.
 
It wasn’t long before my hunger implored me to find food. Rihxo and I went to the Carline Canopy where Mother Miounne treated us to a delicious meal. We finished our evening at Apkallu Falls.
 
The beautiful setting was a perfect compliment to Rihxo. Sitting there, by the falls, Rihxo finally confided in me. For the first time, Rihxo trusted me with information I did not ask her for, information specifically dealing with her internal struggle and worries.
 
We were discussing how sorry I am for what I said the night Nagi was injured, how I would be with her for as long as she needed me. Rihxo confided in me her fear of being alone. I knew then I would never be able to leave her.
 
It sounds as though Rihxo is done in the bath, so I am signing off. I am going to ensure Rihxo trusts my words by suiting my actions to them, she will not be alone tonight…

I received an unexpected letter today. As I opened it, I was concerned to see it was from Stalhart.
 
Afraid he was going to push Rihxo into a fight before she was ready, I quickly read over it. First, I was relieved, then confused when he told me to meet him alone at Behemoth’s Dominion. Aware, thanks to Nagi, that Stalhart was targeting me, I prepared for a fight. I hooked my lance to the bracket on my back, put on my helmet, and contacted Rihxo.
 
I met up with Rihxo and Singing Raptor at Camp Dragonhead, where Rihxo had been training. I showed Rihxo the letter, and asked Singing to keep an eye out for her while I was gone. Knowing Rihxo would be safe; I followed Stalhart’s instructions and headed to Behemoth’s Dominion.
 
It was easy to find him, kneeling alone in the snow-covered expanse. He started by saying he just wanted to talk, though I kept a wary eye on him. He asked if I loved Rihxo. I did not answer him directly, afraid of giving him more ammunition to use against Rihxo. He called my bluff, quoting a phrase Rihxo had said to me, calling me the “only one keeping her sane.” He claimed I did not have faith in her. He was not coy about wanting me to stay out of their fight, claiming it was the only way he could keep me off the list the Garleans had.
 
I care not whether the Garleans are after me, but I do care that Rihxo not be hurt.
 
I explained to Stalhart that as I am the only one keeping Rihxo sane, so is she to me. I explained that my faith in Rihxo is irrelevant right now as she does not have faith in herself. At the time she believes herself capable of defeating him in the fight, then too would she have my faith.
 
He seemed to be trying to rile me to fight, yet all I could think was no matter the outcome, it would hurt Rihxo. So I remained calm.
 
Regardless of Stalhart’s claim that he will not come after me, I will remain on guard.
 
Cautiously, I retreated to Camp Dragonhead and Rihxo’s side, realizing on the way that I had left the communication line open on the linkshell between Rihxo and I. Knowing she heard the conversation between Stalhart and myself was both a relief and an embarrassment.
 
Not that I would not say any of it to Rihxo, yet the manner of her hearing it was embarrassing to me. I held Rihxo close for a long time, cursing my armor for getting in the way of my feeling her arms around me.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.
: ■ Any direct mention of the Calamity makes her incredibly sad. She doesn't like to talk about why.
: ■ She's a bit of a ditz.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.
: ■ Perceptive, despite her one eye.
: ■ A talented singer.
: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===
: ■ When people touch or play with her hair, she tends to purr.
: ■ When drunk, she gets very tired, often ending up in someone's lap.
: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

(11/6) ''Uncovering Secrets''

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

'''Nanagi Nagi''' was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life.

Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so.

She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change

Currently apart of the mercenary company known as Solace.

=Appearance=
[[File:Nagi Icon.png|250px|left]]
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely.

Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average.

Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.

====Scars/Markings====
*Her right hand is badly burned. The blisters went deep, and she will have the markings forever. Due to this, she often covers the hand with a bandage.
*Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.

=Behavior=
[[File:Nanagi2.jpeg|330px|frameless|right]]
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all!

On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself.

On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

=Combat=
===Weapon(s):===
Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one.

Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now.

===Combat Style:===
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best mage she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees.

She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells.

Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.

She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration.

=Background=

==Birth and Early Life:==
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks.
Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books.

If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.

==Her Teen Years:==
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before.
Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself.

Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner.

Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best.

She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.

==The event that turned her life upside down:==
A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
: She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location.

She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

(11/10-11/11) After having time to think of a plan, Nanagi thought she was ready to get her stolen staff back. She asked for Rihxo's assistance in the matter. After explaining the plan to go into the Amalj'aa camp and surrender themselves, she told Rihxo that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going. No one could know. When they went into the camp, they killed a few of the Amalj'aa before surrendering themselves. Nanagi hopes that while they are being held captive that she will be able to find an opening to gain their weapons back. Time is of the essence considering that the Amalj'aa wish to sacrifice them to Ifrit along with others if the beasts manage to find others.

Nanagi is currently recovering from injuries. After casting a powerful spell that she didn’t know how to cast properly, her aetheric energy levels dropped to deathly low. If it wasn’t for a Medic who happened to live in the Forgotten Springs, Nanagi would probably be dead. Although she has had time to recover, she is still relatively weak, and hasn’t been able to cast any magic. Even if she wanted to, she can’t because her special staff was stolen from her by Amalj’aa.

'''Nanagi has recovered from her injuries. The only noticeable injury now are the burn marks on her hand. If they are not covered in bandages, they markings are quite noticeable. She was also able to obtain her staff.'''

(10/27) She found a wanted poster for an assassin; the person was offering a large sum of money to anyone who could kill the woman. She asked for Rihxo Matoi’s assistance, and Rihxo accompanied her. Once the killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they returned to Ul’dah for their pay. However, once they received their pay, they were told that they would receive no credit for killing the assassin. No one will even know the details on how the assassin died. Nanagi didn’t mind not receiving credit.

Nanagi stayed hiddent for a long time, while still keeping some sort of contact with her friends. She sent a letter to Rihxo stating that she should go to the Grindstone, it would do her good. Give her more experience without murdering anyone. Knowing that wouldn't convince her enough, she mentioned that she would be there as well. What she originally had in mind was to go there still cloaked, away from most of the crowds but still keeping an eye on Rihxo. Instead her plans had changed, during the time she secluded herself, she had come to realize that she was becoming a bit more crazy each day. Overworking herself and obsessing over the current situation while being alone wasn't helping her mentally. She thought that lending her aid at the Grindstone would do her some good.

She was a healer who was with Judge's group. Instead of staying cloaked, she decided to ditch the robs and finally show her face. No one there knew who she really was to begin with, so she had nothing to loose. During the entire time, she kept a watchful eye for glowing blue armor.

After the Grindstone, she approached Rihxo and Gil to let them know that she wouldn't seclude herself away that much anymore. That she would go out in the open more often, when it was safe. However her words were rather hollow, as she would just slip back into her old habits.

|-

It only took her about a week to recover. She felt fine and was ready to go out on her own. She went out to Mor Dhona to complete a job she felt so much better. Little did she know that going to Mor Dhona wouldn't be that simple. She happened to find Valen, and against her better judgement decided to follow. Valen remained none the wiser as she followed him in, staying out of sight. It was there she learned that Valen was to hunt Gil, and Rihxo's siblings. She knew she had to escape, to tell Rihxo of the news. She decided to take the opprotunity she had to hijack a magitek reaper, and escape. Stalhart pursued her, even after his magitek reaper became immobile.

Once she had reached civilization at Revenants Toll, she ditched the reaper and ran. With Valen now surrounded by Rihxo, Nanai and Singing Raptor with civilians watching, he realized now was not the time to fight. Told them if they wished to continue, to meet him at the Rathefrost. It was rather convenient that Nanagi planned on heading in there as well. Instead of fighting, she simply explained to Stalhart that she would distance herself, keep herself out of sight while still being able to keep a close eye on him or Rihxo.

It was after this meeting that Nanagi went off the grid, never to be seen for a rather long period of time.

(11/22) She found Valen at the Grindstone; he seemed to be walking away from Ul'dah. It wasn't until that she saw him in the Thaumaturge guild in full armor that she knew something was wrong. She was able to have Gil take the drunken Rihxo away as she fallowed Valen, knowing that he was leading her into a trap. Little did she know that a Magitek Reaper would be involved. She deactivated one of her linkpearls, in hopes that Gil would realize it was to act as a distress beacon. Luckily, Gil understood, and came to her aid. She went past her aetherial capabilities for a 2nd time in attempts to finish off Valen right then and there; her spell did not go off in the right place, but still injured him. She put up a protective spell before Valen took the final blow with his reaper, and now the Garleans think her to be dead. If it wasn't for [[Jancis Milburga]]'s healing techniques, and [[Singing Raptor]]'s aether donation, Nanagi wouldn't be alive.

(11/16) Rihxo had contacted Nanagi; she wanted to talk to her about something rather urgent. Turns out that her theories about Valen Stalhart were right, for he tried to kill Rihxo the day before. Originally, Nanagi had plans to kill him. Surprisingly, Rihxo was able to convince her that it was not Valen's choice, that he didn't want to kill Rihxo. She stated that there were 'voices in his head telling him to kill her'. She told Nanagi that she thought there was a way to help him, but she didn't know how.

With that, Nanagi decided that instead of going out and killing Valen, she would instead spend as much of her time possible in finding ways to help him.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=

''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

'''Nanagi Nagi''' was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life.

Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so.

She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change

Currently apart of the mercenary company known as Solace.

=Appearance=
[[File:Nagi Icon.png|250px|left]]
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely.

Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average.

Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.

====Scars/Markings====
*Her right hand is badly burned. The blisters went deep, and she will have the markings forever. Due to this, she often covers the hand with a bandage.
*Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.

=Behavior=
[[File:Nanagi2.jpeg|330px|frameless|right]]
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all!

On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself.

On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

=Combat=
===Weapon(s):===
Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one.

Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now.

===Combat Style:===
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best mage she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees.

She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells.

Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.

She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration.

=Background=

==Birth and Early Life:==
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks.
Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books.

If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.

==Her Teen Years:==
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before.
Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself.

Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner.

Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best.

She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.

==The event that turned her life upside down:==
A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
: She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location.

She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

(11/10-11/11) After having time to think of a plan, Nanagi thought she was ready to get her stolen staff back. She asked for Rihxo's assistance in the matter. After explaining the plan to go into the Amalj'aa camp and surrender themselves, she told Rihxo that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going. No one could know. When they went into the camp, they killed a few of the Amalj'aa before surrendering themselves. Nanagi hopes that while they are being held captive that she will be able to find an opening to gain their weapons back. Time is of the essence considering that the Amalj'aa wish to sacrifice them to Ifrit along with others if the beasts manage to find others.

Nanagi is currently recovering from injuries. After casting a powerful spell that she didn’t know how to cast properly, her aetheric energy levels dropped to deathly low. If it wasn’t for a Medic who happened to live in the Forgotten Springs, Nanagi would probably be dead. Although she has had time to recover, she is still relatively weak, and hasn’t been able to cast any magic. Even if she wanted to, she can’t because her special staff was stolen from her by Amalj’aa.

'''Nanagi has recovered from her injuries. The only noticeable injury now are the burn marks on her hand. If they are not covered in bandages, they markings are quite noticeable. She was also able to obtain her staff.'''

(10/27) She found a wanted poster for an assassin; the person was offering a large sum of money to anyone who could kill the woman. She asked for Rihxo Matoi’s assistance, and Rihxo accompanied her. Once the killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they returned to Ul’dah for their pay. However, once they received their pay, they were told that they would receive no credit for killing the assassin. No one will even know the details on how the assassin died. Nanagi didn’t mind not receiving credit.

Nanagi stayed hiddent for a long time, while still keeping some sort of contact with her friends. She sent a letter to Rihxo stating that she should go to the Grindstone, it would do her good. Give her more experience without murdering anyone. Knowing that wouldn't convince her enough, she mentioned that she would be there as well. What she originally had in mind was to go there still cloaked, away from most of the crowds but still keeping an eye on Rihxo. Instead her plans had changed, during the time she secluded herself, she had come to realize that she was becoming a bit more crazy each day. Overworking herself and obsessing over the current situation while being alone wasn't helping her mentally. She thought that lending her aid at the Grindstone would do her some good.

She was a healer who was with Judge's group. Instead of staying cloaked, she decided to ditch the robs and finally show her face. No one there knew who she really was to begin with, so she had nothing to loose. During the entire time, she kept a watchful eye for glowing blue armor.

After the Grindstone, she approached Rihxo and Gil to let them know that she wouldn't seclude herself away that much anymore. That she would go out in the open more often, when it was safe. However her words were rather hollow, as she would just slip back into her old habits.

(Status: Complete) (Who was involved: [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Rihxo Matoi]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
It only took her about a week to recover. She felt fine and was ready to go out on her own. She went out to Mor Dhona to complete a job she felt so much better. Little did she know that going to Mor Dhona wouldn't be that simple. She happened to find Valen, and against her better judgement decided to follow. Valen remained none the wiser as she followed him in, staying out of sight. It was there she learned that Valen was to hunt Gil, and Rihxo's siblings. She knew she had to escape, to tell Rihxo of the news. She decided to take the opprotunity she had to hijack a magitek reaper, and escape. Stalhart pursued her, even after his magitek reaper became immobile.

Once she had reached civilization at Revenants Toll, she ditched the reaper and ran. With Valen now surrounded by Rihxo, Nanai and Singing Raptor with civilians watching, he realized now was not the time to fight. Told them if they wished to continue, to meet him at the Rathefrost. It was rather convenient that Nanagi planned on heading in there as well. Instead of fighting, she simply explained to Stalhart that she would distance herself, keep herself out of sight while still being able to keep a close eye on him or Rihxo.

It was after this meeting that Nanagi went off the grid, never to be seen for a rather long period of time.

(11/22) She found Valen at the Grindstone; he seemed to be walking away from Ul'dah. It wasn't until that she saw him in the Thaumaturge guild in full armor that she knew something was wrong. She was able to have Gil take the drunken Rihxo away as she fallowed Valen, knowing that he was leading her into a trap. Little did she know that a Magitek Reaper would be involved. She deactivated one of her linkpearls, in hopes that Gil would realize it was to act as a distress beacon. Luckily, Gil understood, and came to her aid. She went past her aetherial capabilities for a 2nd time in attempts to finish off Valen right then and there; her spell did not go off in the right place, but still injured him. She put up a protective spell before Valen took the final blow with his reaper, and now the Garleans think her to be dead. If it wasn't for [[Jancis Milburga]]'s healing techniques, and [[Singing Raptor]]'s aether donation, Nanagi wouldn't be alive.

(11/16) Rihxo had contacted Nanagi; she wanted to talk to her about something rather urgent. Turns out that her theories about Valen Stalhart were right, for he tried to kill Rihxo the day before. Originally, Nanagi had plans to kill him. Surprisingly, Rihxo was able to convince her that it was not Valen's choice, that he didn't want to kill Rihxo. She stated that there were 'voices in his head telling him to kill her'. She told Nanagi that she thought there was a way to help him, but she didn't know how.

With that, Nanagi decided that instead of going out and killing Valen, she would instead spend as much of her time possible in finding ways to help him.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 14th, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
: - It isn't in her bag, since it can't fit, but she currently has the spear Thundercloud as a trophy over beating [[Valen Stalhart]]. It is tied to her person.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===

: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-

Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.
: ■ Any direct mention of the Calamity makes her incredibly sad. She doesn't like to talk about why.
: ■ She's a bit of a ditz.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.
: ■ Perceptive, despite her one eye.
: ■ A talented singer.
: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===
: ■ When people touch or play with her hair, she tends to purr.
: ■ When drunk, she gets very tired, often ending up in someone's lap.
: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

(11/6) ''Uncovering Secrets''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]])
|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.

: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

: ■ "Sometimes I see 'er with a lil' girl - looks like her lil' sister. Why, the lil' ones practically a shadow of th' big one!" '''~Limsa Lominsa Guard'''

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

(11/6) ''Uncovering Secrets''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]])
|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-

Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

|-

Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.
: ■ She is very self-conscious about her eye.
: ■ Any direct mention of the Calamity makes her incredibly sad. She doesn't like to talk about why.
: ■ She's a bit of a ditz.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.
: ■ Very good with people. Highly charismatic.
: ■ Perceptive, despite her one eye.
: ■ A talented singer.
: ■ Able to make the best pearl chocolates.

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===
: ■ When people touch or play with her hair, she tends to purr.
: ■ When drunk, she gets very tired, often ending up in someone's lap.
: ■ She tends to bite her lip when she gets nervous.
: ■ She often is absentmindedly twirling her hair around a finger.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===What I am looking for/interested in:===
* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

''*After a fantasia, I now use the Gryphonskin Eyepatch IC, since it's... y'know, prettier. Any screenshots with a different patch are before this.*''

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.

: ■ Fire, to an extent.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

(11/6) ''Uncovering Secrets''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]])
|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

''*After a fantasia, I now use the Gryphonskin Eyepatch IC, since it's... y'know, prettier. Any screenshots with a different patch are before this.*''

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|445px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|-
|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

''*After a fantasia, I now use the Gryphonskin Eyepatch IC, since it's... y'know, prettier. Any screenshots with a different patch are before this.*''

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right|450px]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

|-

Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

''*After a fantasia, I now use the Gryphonskin Eyepatch IC, since it's... y'know, prettier. Any screenshots with a different patch are before this.*''

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

'''Alignment:''' [http://easydamus.com/neutralgood.html Neutral Good]

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===
: ■ Her eternal optimism can be a little annoying.
: ■ Has a tendency to trust people too quickly.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Being alone/people leaving her.
: ■ Total darkness.
: ■ Fire, to an extent.
: ■ Going completely blind.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■ A very skilled archer.

=Abilities/Skills=
[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=
[[File:RihxoThanalanSide.jpg|right]]
''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-

Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.

: '''X'rihxo Matoi''', better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.

: Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.

: Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.

: Currently a part of the mercenary company known as Solace.

==== ''Rihxo's Inventory'' ====
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. '''Last updated:''' Dec. 2nd, 2015
: - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
: - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
: - A leather-bound journal.
: - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
: - Three sticks of charcoal.
: - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
: - A hunting knife.
: - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.

=Appearance=
[[File:RihxoAppearance.jpg|left|400px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 4 ilms

'''Weight:''' 100 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Medium Tan

'''Hair: ''' Gunmetal Blue

'''Eyes: ''' Emerald Green

''*After a fantasia, I now use the Gryphonskin Eyepatch IC, since it's... y'know, prettier. Any screenshots with a different patch are before this.*''

: Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant white eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her right one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun.

: Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of a dance.

: Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest.

: Given the title of "Candy Cat", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to [[Trin Morwen]], she tastes like chocolate and cherries.

=Behavior=
[[File:RihxoLimsaNight.jpg|right|400px]]
: Rihxo is very easy to get along with, mostly due to her eternal optimism. As a child, she had plenty of social interaction piled atop naturally occurring charisma. Thus, getting along with Rihxo at first is a simple task, so long as you're not rude and can deal with her somewhat ditzy rambling.
: As Rihxo becomes closer to someone, she will begin to open up about the darker parts of her past, be it her eye or other things she doesn't ever enjoy speaking about. Her optimism is still there, but to a less intoxicating degree. (Or maybe you're just getting a tolerance?)
: On the job, Rihxo actually quiets down for once, and usually lets whoever is leading her (typically Nanagi) do the talking.

[[File:RihxoLimsaBehind.jpg|right]]
=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Recently, she has completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it.

Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Rogue's Guild and has been seen occasionally using daggers.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.

=Background=

''This whole section is a WIP, but I do have some things outlined for your viewing pleasure.''

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
: Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
: Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
==== ''Adulthood'' ====
: Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
: After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.

==== ''Rihxo's Parents'' ====
: Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
: '''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.

: Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping [[Valen Stalhart|Valen]], as he had helped him before.
:'''Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?:''' Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

(10/27) ''Meeting Nanagi''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
Rihxo was confronted by Nanagi, asking for assistance in killing an assassin in return for a large sum of money. She agreed, and after they killed the assassin in Southern Thanalan, they would return to Ul'dah for their pay. They were informed they would not be receiving credit for the kill, which Rihxo was a bit saddened about, but overall didn't mind too much.

(11/10 - 11/11) ''The Lord of the Inferno''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Recently, Nanagi went hunting for a pack of Amalj'aa on her own. Calling Rihxo for help via linkpearl, she quickly came to her aid, but not before Nanagi had to cast a huge spell, draining her of a substantial amount of aetheric energy. Rihxo insisted they retreat, despite the Amalj'aa now having hold of Nanagi's staff. While Nanagi recovered, the two devised a plan - to go into the camp and surrender themselves to Ifrit in order to get Nanagi's staff back, for without it, she cannot cast her spells. Currently, the two are locked inside the camp, biding their time until the ritual is begun.

The ritual was completed, and Ifrit itself was summoned - thankfully, Gil had come just in time to help Nanagi and Rihxo defeat the beast. However, he was not too happy about the fact Nanagi had risked Rihxo's life in such a manner, as well as her own. Nanagi insisted she would've ensured Rihxo stayed alive, even if it meant her death - a statement Rihxo didn't appreciate, but kept quiet about this fact.

(10/28 and 11/4) ''First Encounters''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Endel Blanche]])
|-
|
Rihxo has been taking on many jobs lately, most becoming more dangerous as time goes on. As such, her name has been going around a bit more often. She has gotten the attention of the Maelstrom, who had someone send her armor and a weapon, delivered by Valen. Rihxo, who at the time had no idea of his name, told her friends (and soon-to-be boyfriend, Gil) about the strange glowy man.

Later, she ran into him again. Valen informed her that he was now assigned to be her guardian, and that someone had paid the Maelstrom a 'substantial amount' of gil to protect her. Moments after pulling his lance on her, Nanagi and Gil arrived, and after some small talk, Valen soon left. The next day, she would inform Endel about the issue with the lance. Endel became skeptical about it all, advising her to be cautious around the man.

|
Valen sent Rihxo a letter requesting she come to his home in the Mist, which she agreed to. He had discovered some things that she 'might find interesting' - and interesting these things were. Valen had uncovered information about her parents that they hadn't told her - her mother was a soldier, though she also did humanitarian work when she could; her father was one of the best archers in all of La Noscea, but kept his work and private life separate. They had also made enemies of the Garlean Empire - who now may be seeking out Rihxo for being a Matoi. Rihxo now must always watch her back - who knows if there could be a Magitek Knight there to get her?

(11/16 - 11/17) ''The Voices''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Caen Jabari]], [[Singing Raptor]]
|-
|
Valen contacted Rihxo by linkpearl, stating he was in an alley behind "that tavern you're usually at" and that he wasn't doing so well. Ever helpful, Rihxo quickly went to him. Noticing his armor was unscratched, but he still looked like hell, she asked what happened to him. Valen stated that he was in Northern Thanalan watching a Garlean encampment before he blacked out and somehow ended back up in Ul'dah. Shortly after his explanation, Valen seemed to get some kind of headache, and began to say things about "the voices" that he "doesn't take orders from anymore". When Rihxo asked what voices he meant, he said they were the ones telling him to kill her. Seconds after, Gil, Caen, and a Roegadyn arrived, and just before Valen lost control, he told Rihxo to run. Rihxo didn't need to be told twice, and bolted.

The next day, Rihxo found Nanagi, much to her joy. Retelling the story of the previous night (through tears and all), Nanagi came up with the theory that Valen is a soldier for the Garlean Empire, and that all along, Rihxo was being strung along in a trap. Nanagi thinks that the Garleans sent Valen after Rihxo, and after gaining her trust (by claiming to be sent by the Maelstrom to guard her), Valen would "swoop in when you were most vulnerable and kill you". Rihxo doesn't like to admit it, but something sticks at the back of her mind that something seems just a bit wrong about that theory...

(11/22) ''Breaking Points''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
Rihxo picked an inopportune night to get drunk. Nanagi hurried into the Quicksand, informing Gil and Rihxo that they needed to get out of there - ASAP. Rihxo in his arms, Gil hurried out of Ul'dah, taking Rihxo to the Rogue's Guild where she was in a blissfully ignorant drunken sleep. One of Rihxo's linkpearls went off - a help beacon from Nanagi. Gil quickly left to go help the Lalafell, leaving Rihxo alone. She would awaken soon after he left (admittedly, from falling out of her chair) and confusedly try to contact them both, to no avail. The two were under attack by Stalhart and his magitek Reaper. Nanagi, in an attempt to finish Valen off right there, casted a huge spell, draining her of aetheric energy to a deathly low level for the second time. Gil and Nanagi hurried back to Ul'dah to find a healer, where they found Singer and Rihxo, as well as a healer by the name of Jancis. Valen contacted Rihxo on his linkpearl, apologizing, and warning Rihxo that it was inevitable that they were to fight. He told her to "become the warrior your parents would be proud of, Rihxo." He then proceeded to crush his linkpearl, much to her confusion. After this, Jancis managed to stabilize Nanagi, and she was rushed to Singer's company house for much-needed rest.

Gil went to leave the house on his own, but was followed by Rihxo. He stated that he had failed Rihxo and could no longer stay. Rihxo knew she wouldn't be able to handle this, as well as Nanagi's near-death, and begged him to stay. Initially, he refused still, even though he still loved her. In the end, the two managed to kiss and make up (literally), and Rihxo is incredibly relieved and happy that she could convince him to stay.

(11/26) ''Unforeseen Meetings''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Nanagi Nagi]])
|-
|
After a day of work and an evening of relaxation at the Bismarck, Rihxo asked Nanagi to talk about the plan her and Singer had made via linkpearl. Nanagi was unable to talk at the time as she had to stay hidden from Valen, who she had accidentally run into in Mor Dhona. Rihxo and Singer went to Mor Dhona to ensure Nanagi would make it out okay.

They ran into Valen and Nanagi in the city, where they did not fight, but it gave Rihxo a chance to say some things to Valen, under control at the time. Valen stated the conversation was pointless, and if they all wanted to finish this, to meet him in Rathefrost.

Nanagi followed him while Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind for a bit to devise a plan. They eventually made their way to Rathefrost, where Valen was having a psychotic break. His true self was showing. He said he wished he could forget all the killing he had done, but couldn't.

Rihxo stated that she would never be half the person her father was, but she could try and free Valen as he did. She said that he could either fight her now and kill her, which would end it all, or wait until she became the warrior he and her parents wanted her to be. Valen said that things would not be over if he killed her now, as Gil was now in the way of the mission and needed to be killed in order to get to Rihxo. Valen tried to protest against the order, but to no avail.

Valen told the three about Arcadeus when asked by Singer about where he called home. Rihxo stated that she was looking forward to their fight, and Valen agreed. Valen and Nanagi went off on their own, and Singer and Rihxo went back to the city. Nanagi stated she wouldn't be seeing Rihxo for a while, and Rihxo begged for her not to leave. She said that she would "always be watching, my beloved Rihxo." With that, she cut off her linkpearl.
Rihxo turned to the only person she could at the time, Raptor, who is now her partner in lieu of Nanagi. The two plan to visit Arcadeus to gain information on Valen, so that they may be more prepared when Rihxo inevitably fights him.

(11/29) ''A Visit to Arcadeus''

('''Status:''') Complete ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Anelia Sadowyn]], [[Tatsumi Hanateru]])
|-
|
Singer and Rihxo finally managed to find someone to speak with at a visit to Arcadeus. The duo informed Tatsumi of what had happened with Valen, and asked if she knew anything about them that could help free his mind. While she didn't, she told them that Anelia might be able to help them with the matter, though that she was busy now, and she would let Rihxo know when Anelia returned.

While on her way to the Aftcastle to investigate on some things, Rihxo got the call from Tatsumi that Anelia had arrived at the house, and was currently waiting on her arrival. She would inform Gil and Raptor that she was heading to Arcadeus, though they were welcome to join her at their soonest availability. Upon arrival, Rihxo would say that she needed to talk to her about Valen, and Anelia took on a notable expression of surprise at this statement.

Soon after, Raptor arrived, and the three went to go discuss the matter with Stalhart. Rihxo explained that they were to fight, and what all had happened with Valen as of recently, and once again asked if she knew anything that could help him. While she didn't, she did say that she could get the Ironworks to build a device that Rihxo would have to plant on Valen in order to disable the chip and thus free him. While originally reluctant, due to the risks this might carry, she, Raptor, and Gil agreed that this was the best course of action at the moment.

Rihxo currently bides her time until the device is completed, continuing her diligent training so she may be prepared for the day their fight comes.

(12/1) ''An Unexpected Letter''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Valen Stalhart]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]], [[Singing Raptor]])
|-
|
While away from home working in Coerthas Central, Rihxo received a message from Gil on her linkpearl, asking where she was. She told him she was at Dragonhead. Joined by him and Raptor, Gil informed the women that he'd received a letter from Valen, asking to meet him alone in Behemoth's Dominion. Knowing they would be spotted if they tried to join him, Rihxo and Raptor stayed behind in Dragonhead, intently listening to Gil over the linkpearl he left on as he spoke. Rihxo and Raptor both were curious as to why Valen kept seemingly provoking Gil, but they kept quiet while they awaited his return.

(12/6) ''The Grindstone''

('''Status:''' Complete) ('''Who was Involved:''' [[Nanagi Nagi]], [[Singing Raptor]], [[Gil vel'Jendahr]])
|-
|
Rihxo received a letter from Nanagi, tacked to her door as always. Upon reading it, she would discover it was a recommendation to enter the Grindstone, taking place a few days later. Clearly, Nanagi wanted her to compete, as she even said she would be there.

Rihxo took her up on the offer, and ended up competing in the Grindstone that weekend after some more extensive training. She actually did rather well in it, becoming the champion of her bracket until she was disarmed by her next opponent unexpectedly.

Naturally, she was none too happy, but in the end, she got an agreement for a rematch, and through the anger, she did feel she showed off her skills against the other combatants rather well. She felt this proved that her training was worth it all.

* Friends (Because friends are nice to have)
* A good RP plot (Plots are good, any setting is fine)
* More RP partners (More RP = Good!)
* People to RP Rihxo's siblings (Currently, Ratoh or Rahwa are open to play)

===What I will NOT RP:===
* ERP (I'm fine if she gets involved with someone, but I want a 'fade to black'.)
* Killing my character (I won't allow for my character to be killed unless I say otherwise.)
* Complete breakage of lore. (I'm fine with lore bending, as I do that sometimes.)

===About the Player:===
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.

I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.

I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)

Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well.
In-game, I am '''Rihxo Matoi''' if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.

Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)

===Annotations:===
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of [[Nanagi Nagi]] and has pieces from the templates of [[Unnamed Mercenary]], [[Roen Deneith]], [[Cyrus Wolfe]], and [[Coatleque Crofte]].

Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)

===Other Stuff===
* Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
* Rihxo is at max height for femqote and she's still only chest height on Gil. I find this hilarious, but she is not too happy about it.
* Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
* I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
* Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC.
