Character
General
A female Keeper, Rheah'na Serras is currently a student of the aetheric arts at the Vylbrand Academy in Limsa Lominsa. Hailing from the Black Shroud, Rheah (as she prefers to be called) originally studied Conjury in Gridania before relocating to Limsa Lominsa to study under the Arcanist's Guild. She called Limsa Lominsa home for several years before enrolling in the Academy to further her magickal studies. Currently she has devoted herself to the advanced study of arcanima and can usually be found in the company of one of her various familiars or summons.
Appearance
Short, even for a Miqo'te, Rheah stands at slightly shorter than 5 fulms. Though not unfit, her scholarly lifestyle has given more in the ways of curves and less in the way of muscle. It probably doesn't help she can constantly be seen stuffing her face with dessert- which she claims is to offset the high caloric use required by maintaining a summons. Her skin is a dusky lilac, her face marked by a traditional Miqo'te tribal tattoo. Kept short, her purple hair is unruly and haphazardly styled.
Though not readily apparent, the length of her left arm is covered by various designs featuring arcane circle and formulas, and various runes and magical symbols. To the uninitiated, the tattoo would likely look like a complicated, intricately designed piece of art. To anyone familiar with arcanimancy, the meaning would be quite apparent- this Miqo'te has etched her most powerful summons and spells unto her skin. If pressed for a reason for the tattoos, she will usually just grin and mention a 'lesson learned the hard way.'
Rheah secretly considers herself a bit of a fashionista- her clothes and accessories are always carefully matched. Even the cover of her grimoire is taken into account when choosing her robes.
Behavior
Brash and headstrong, Rheah can often time come across as a loud mouthed braggart. She possesses a quick wit and a sharp tongue, and needs little excuse to exercise either. Despite the fact her friends are just as often fall victim to her sarcastic teasing, she is fiercely loyal and is quick to put outsiders in their place. Interestingly, though still skilled in combat magics, she has a natural talent for healing.
Surprisingly, when in the company of her superiors- such as the instructors at the Academy- Rheah will adopt a more formal, polite personality.
Combat
General
As an mage, Rheah uses her summons to distract enemies while she casts. Preferring to maintain a safe distance, she uses spells to slow her foes and whittle away their stamina. While she likes to boast about setting people on fire with her mind, Rheah's skills in art of Thaumaturgy are still under-developed and she is not comfortable using them in combat situations.
When fighting in a group, Rheah will fall back, allowing her more melee oriented companions freedom of movement. She will focus less of offensive magic and more on the welfare of her friends- bolstering and shielding her comrades to great effect. Paired with her faerie companion, Celestia, Rheah does her best to ensure her friends leave the battlefield on their own two feet.
While melee combat is not her forte, Rheah is not unversed in the use of a sword and shield. If circumstances necessitate their use, Rheah prefers a defensive stance- knowing her skills would not be enough to overcome most enemies with brute force.
In addition, like many traditional tribal Miqo'te, Rheah was trained from a young age in the use of a short bow and how to hunt and track game. While those skills are rusty, her nose remains keen and her eyes and ears sharp. With practice, she could again become a decent archer.
