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. Eyes Hair Skin Body Type Voice Emerald green. Gunmetal blue. Very long and fluffy. Sandy tan. Thin, toned, though busty. Deeper than what you'd expect, but feminine. Laterality Scars Tattoos & Piercings Style Right-handed. Most notably on her face and torso. Her ears are pierced. Typically long, red coats. 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. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, 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. Her hair is, arguably, one of her most defining features; it's a long, pastel blue mess of a mane, with enough curls and volume to hide a Lalafell in. (She hasn't tried, but if someone told her this, she probably would.) 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. 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. Singing, however, her voice is melodic and often described as just plain beautiful. She tends to get a bit shy when complimented on her voice, even though she's done these things for years. Given the title of "Chocolate Queen", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably... well, chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. Notable scars on her body are two over her eye and just below that on her cheekbone, a spear wound on her left shoulder (puncture), and a spear wound on her left waist (slash). Energetic. Naive. Optimistic. Rihxo is an easygoing girl, at least when you first meet her. Casual with her conversation but a bit more formal with her words, she's easy enough to understand. Despite living in Limsa Lominsa all her life, she doesn't carry much of an accent, though it does come out a bit more when she's drunk. It's uncommon to see her without a smile on her face, save for when a situation really doesn't call for it. Often, she's unintentionally flirtatious, simply giving a compliment and it comes off as flirtatious. Due to this, she's had a fair share of suitors come after her, most of them rejected (though not painfully; she's too oblivious and often just too sweet to turn them down directly). Getting to know Rihxo better, it's more obvious that she has a lot of things that haunt her about her past, but they don't seem to get to her, at least not too much. She's still quite agreeable, and her loyalty is undeniable; though, both of these were evident from the start. Typically she is relaxing with one (...or more) of her friends in the Quicksand, or simply out on the job. Either way, she's easily approachable; while the red may be a bit intimidating, it's equally as enticing. Tropes: Badass Longcoat, Nice Hat, Red is Heroic, Eyepatch of Power, Genius Ditz, Easily Impressed, Tastes Like Friendship, The Heart, The Face, Big Sister Instinct, Long Lost Relative, Cute Bruiser, Long Range Fighter, Fragile Speedster LIKES Strong alcohol. The more drunk you get her, the more fun she probably is! Flushed cheeks and all. Chocolate. Both eating and making it. Pearl chocolate is her personal favorite, but any will do just fine. Napping in the sun. Much of her time is spent relaxing in La Noscea's fields, just taking a nice, long, nap. DISLIKES Cold weather. Having grown up in Limsa Lominsa, she's attuned far more to tropical weather. Magitek. Having known its affects on people, Rihxo has come to dislike it. Part of this stems from her fathers attempts to help Valen after it harmed him. Pessimism. Like most of the Matoi family, she's inclined to optimism. It's almost overwhelming, sometimes... STRENGTHS Powerful Archer. Her father, the legendary X'matoi, taught her everything she knew about archery. Some would say in battle, she is the spitting image of the missing Miqo'te. Singing. An ample performer, Rihxo has been known to sing for small events on occasion. Perhaps she could make it as a songstress one day? Charismatic. A happy and upbeat personality makes for a charismatic girl. WEAKNESSES Naive. Rihxo is exceedingly naive, and one might wonder how she's even still around... Ditzy. She doesn't think about what she's doing most of the time, and often has her head in the clouds. Extremely trusting. She trusts people way too quickly, and this usually gets her into trouble. This is a list of the items that Rihxo currently is keeping on her. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc. Last Updated: 3/27/2017. Coinpurse: A rather full one. Linkpearls: Most are deactivated. Old journal: If one were to read it, it would be full of songs. Rations: You have to eat, don't you? Canteens: One with water, one with whiskey.

XYZ XYZ XYZ XYZ XYZ XYZ 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, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of. ABILITIES ♥ Dexterous. Rihxo weaves around opponents and the battlefield alike, movements like a dance. Her movements are calculated before she does them, and the environment is often used to her advantage so that she may come into harms way less often. ♥ XYZ. XYZ. ♥ XYZ XYZ. WEAPONRY AND ARMOR ♥ XYZ.

FREE COMPANY L'rinhi Kett ( ●✔ ) - Leader WIP L'raha Nunh ( ●✔ ) - Co-Leader WIP Benedict Whiteraven (♥🔒✔) - Benny "We always have such amazing times together! I look forward to more when we're full fledged Wayfarers!" A chance meeting was how the two came to be rather good friends; Rihxo had gotten hopelessly lost in Ul'dah and made a wrong turn onto Pearl Lane. The striking red she wore caught Ben's eye, and through a series of likely naive snap decisions, the two had a wildly entertaining day together. Rihxo had found a longtime friend, and forever drinking buddy. At one point, there was certainly something between the two, but U'zamza's uncannily timed confession had Rihxo forget her feelings. Now that the Miqo'te is out of the picture and the two have been reunited after many months, Rihxo is left wondering if those feelings are returning. Xyl'a Dromaga (♦✔) - The Mage WIP Ailerana Galanadel ( ●✔ ) - The Healer WIP FAMILY K'rohni Matoi (Assumed Dead) - Mother K'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. X'matoi Tia - AKA Rokaya Matoi (Assumed Dead) - Father Atypical to most Seekers, X'matoi left his tribe to settle down in Limsa Lominsa. Soon, he met First Lieutenant K'rohni Matoi, a fellow 'leaver' who opted for the military life instead of the tribal one. The two had a quick, but passionate romance, and were soon wed. The two wanted to make names for themselves, and worked hard to achieve this goal. After having several children with the fellow Seeker, he soon became a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, 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, as he had helped him before. Rhaya Matoi (Haven't Met Yet) - The Rumored Sister Merely a rumor to Rihxo at present, and one spread by Adelaide at that, the very existence of Rhaya raises questions about the Matoi family. She shares the 'R' naming convention, but her mother's appearances moreso than the emerald eyes and cerulean hair of most other of the siblings... meaning that her mother, at some point, cheated on her father. They'd always seemed so happy together -- what could've happened? X'rhaxe Matoi (♥🔒♥) - The Lone Brother The only son to be sired from the Matoi family, X'rhaxe left the family home in Limsa Lominsa early on to train as a Pugilist in Ul'dah. Only occasionally does he make an appearance at the Matoi house, and each of these appearances becomes far less common. Rihxo and him were once close, but such times have long since past, as he slowly becomes an afterthought to the day-to-day affairs Rihxo must deal with as head of house. X'rhoxi Matoi (♥🔒♥) - The Littlest Sister Clocking in as the youngest of the Matoi sisters, the baby-faced X'rhoxi has thus far lived a very sheltered life. Following in the footsteps of her oldest sister, Rihxo, she's always dreamed of becoming an adventurer someday -- though she remains almost horribly oblivious to the internal struggles of the family. Barely able to keep their home and make ends meet, and oft left alone, Rhoxi has secretly begun training as a Conjurer, that maybe one day her sisters will allow her help on an excursion. X'ratoh Matoi (♥🔒♥) - The Blacksmithing Twin More often covered in soot and ash than not, Ratoh is essentially the family's personal blacksmith. She's crafted her own armor, swords, and Rihxo's bows for years. Ratoh was the first born out of the twins, and thus makes her the second oldest -- though only by mere minutes. This doesn't stop her from using this so-called 'authority' to make decisions in Rihxo's absences, which are often except for resting between jobs. X'rahwa Matoi (♥🔒♥) - The Designing Twin The younger of the twins, Rahwa opted for a less "barbaric" craft and took up weaving after the Calamity when the parents of the family went missing. Slowly, but surely, the name X'rahwa Matoi is becoming known in some designer circles, making Rahwa's excursions to Ul'dah more frequent. More sentimental than most of the family, she sends letters and a monthly sum of gil to help keep their family bonds tight, and home in place. FRIENDS Name (XYZ) - Title "Quote." Text.

I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me by my character names, I really don't care. I take too many screenshots 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! Adelaide doesn't bite... hard. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well. In-game, I am Adelaide Levenson 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?) THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND... My schedule is very irregular. Things often call me away from the game very suddenly. I can't really help this. You can find me on the RPC, Discord, or Skype, but I will be most consistent with RP in-game. I sincerely apologize for this. I type slow sometimes. I have a tendency to have slower replies due to the fact I type kind of slowly. This is most notable with paragraph RP. If I go more than 10 minutes in-game without mentioning that I was AFK, your post likely got eaten. I will let you know if this happens. Walk-up Friendly. I am anxious about walking up, but I absolutely love to be walked up to! If you spy me targeting you, I'm probably just too scared to walk up. If you want to walk up to me, feel free to! You can send a /tell if you think I'm AFK, or if it's busy where we're at. I will Combat RP. One-shot RP. Long-term RP. Dramatic plots. Heavy, feeling-driven plots. Romance. Sexual Tension.
