Basic Info

: Reina Dancer is a somewhat small but healthy looking young woman in her midtwenties. She is intelligent, keen, inquisitive and unrelenting, and has a habit of finding trouble just for the thrill of it. Her originally blond hair has been dyed a soft red recently, though the color and style are known to change at her whim. Recently, she's taken to wearing an intricate and well-made suit of light armor when attending events such as the Grindstone, or when expecting not to be entirely safe. She's hard to pin down, hard to understand, and often more than a little unpleasant. However, some people have been able break through her many walls and meet the more tender heart inside.

Appearance & Personality

Reina stands at five feet and six inches, with a slender, athletic body and a subtle control to her movements. Her eyes are a light grey-blue and her hair, although naturally blond, is currently a soft red hue. There's a bright blue tattoo on her right cheek, just under her eye, and a small scar crosses the bridge of her nose. As for clothing, she generally dresses modestly and comfortably. Personally, Rei can be rather difficult to understand. She'll adopt a different manner depending on who she's talking to, right down to the body language and the accent she uses, and at this point it's not entirely voluntary. The girl struggles with PTSD, fear, and nightmares, and she tends to keep people at a distance. Somewhere, she picked up several sociopathic tendencies, including an ability to separate herself from subliminal social pressure and the ability to lie without almost any tells. Still, while she's loyal to almost no one but herself, she does not have a bad heart. She will go out of her way to help people if she sees a serious issue, and once a person has gained her love, they can't easily lose it.

Biography

This section will contain bits and pieces of Rei's history, but not everything. If you want to learn, you should RP with her!

Childhood

<Currently unavailable>

Teenage

Rei spent most of her older adolescence sailing on a ship with pirates. She was a part of the crew and taught to use and build guns, to sail, to move nimbly over unsteady ship, masts, and the like, and more. It is where she got her tattoo from, but when asked she does not often divulge much information. The ship was known to take and trade slaves, as well as raid poorer ports and seaside towns, and other ships--including maelstrom and allied privateers.
Unfortunately, she does not remember her life before living on the ship.

Present

About two years ago, a new street rat appeared among the droves in Ul'dah. Reina Dancer seemed well-suited to making her own way with her charms, wit, and extremely deft hands--that is, she liked to con and steal. She spent a good year and a half living with the refugees or in back alleys, cutting purses when she needed quick money, going outside the city gates and bow-hunting when she couldn't do that. It was oddly easy, most nights, to get a tipsy Quicksand patron to buy her a meal for the intangible promise of future meetings.
About a year ago she started actually making friends. She stole from the wrong man and ended up with her first boyfriend--and warm bed to sleep in. She befriended an outlaw who ended up bringing her into his tribe for a short time--although she never felt truly safe there. She began to explore the many skills she'd picked up, expand them, hone them, and in some cases figure out where she got them. She left Ul'dah, joined a ship's crew in Limsa for a couple months, then left and began to drift. A few months ago, she went off the map for several weeks. When she returned she was living in Ishgard but still wandering all over the place, making regular appearances at the Grindstone, and sporting some extremely well made armor and a nice new bow. Still, something has been off since.

RELATIONS

Romantic Interest      Platonic Love      Enigmatic Love      Sexual Interest      Good Standing      Neutral Standing      Feared      Poor Standing
S'imba Tia : A young blond Seeker of the Sun, S'imba managed to make Reina hate her before he won his way to her heart. She found him amusing for a time, but as misadventures abound ties strengthen. Now, she is as loyal to him as she's ever been to anyone, and calls him her mate.
K'washi Amada Rei's oldest friend and one of her most trusted, Kou has been in her life for years. She's saved his life a few times, and he's saved hers. While he seems to have disappeared for now, Reina knows that should he ever turn up she'll be there for him once again.
Leah Carsen : Now known as Leah Leyweaver, Reina met Leah when she stole from her many months ago. Leah started at Reina's friend, but managed to disappoint or otherwise hurt Reina enough that they share something between a friendship and mutual animosity.
R'shenn Tia Like many of her other friends, R'shenn met Reina when she stole from him. They surprised each other--he was the only person to be able to catch her in the act, and she was the only person who almost got away. He recruited her to a ship's crew, where she stayed until he left--her loyalty only being to him, she left to and went her own way. He still has her loyalty and friendship, but they do not meet often.
Aekira Swyfte Reina met Aekira in the Quicksand after he was snooping on one of her conversations, at which point the wrangled him into her company and spent the next short while getting to know him. A few other meetings, and she finds him amusing, cute and interesting. More than that, though, she doesn't know.
Toff Vaughn At first Rei thought Toff wanted her, and then she thought Toff oddly standoffish. Now she thinks he's a little touched and perhaps doesn't have the best judgement in the world. But he works hard, and has never given her any reason to feel unsafe or unhappy with him, so he's not so bad.
X'khai Tia Reina originally met X'khai as 'Sig', the outlaw with a penchant for killing and stealing. They had some dangerous fun together, but it wasn't long before she'd pieced together what was happening with him and his 'pride,' the Lynxfang. Despite helping him piece himself back together, Reina ended up feeling badly used by the man, and currently neither likes nor trusts him.
Vincent Sarkoza Reina is not sure whether his actual name is Vincent, Mansa, or something else, but she is sure that the teal-eyed man she met in the Coffer and Coffin was the same teal-eyed ninja she met at the Grindstone. He intrigues her--more than that, he attracts her. But she can't read him well, so she doesn't yet know what to think.
Armont De'bayle Armont mistook Reina for someone else in the cold snows of Coerthas, and after being swiftly corrected he simply showered her with compliments. Reina gave him the impression that she was generous and good-hearted when she bought him a warm meal and some wine, when in reality he was amusing and she was bored. Still, they managed to….accidentally go on a date? All Reina knows is that he will probably not like her much soon….
Kira Yugari Reina met Kira through L'koana one day after she'd been injured in the grindstone. The two took Reina out for a bracing drink and some company while she recovered. While Kira was very pleasant, she didn't make much of an impression.
Rawkin Swordeater Since seeing her wipe out in the Grindstone, Rawkin has made it a point to tease or ridicule Reina every chance he gets. This has made her not only dislike his presence, but 'affectionately' dub him "Asshole." His griefing only made it all the more satisfying when she beat him in the first round of one of the following Grindstones.
L'koana Rayen At the Coffer and Coffin, Reina met L'koana entirely by chance by making eye contact and being recognized. Turned out he was a fan of hers, and enjoyed watching her fight in the Grindstone. At first, compliments and pleasant company went to her head, but after a disturbing revelation about things he'd done, all her interested turned into fear and mistrust.
Bayhind Maleksis Ex-fiance and generally hated at this point, Reina and Bayhind fell in together through bad judgement and childish impulsivity on both ends. Reina was swept along by the power of Bay's will whether he meant to or not, and soon found herself resenting and hating him for keeping her trapped. By the time they broke up she was devastated, and unpleasant issues later on brought her emotions to pure loathing.
Kiari Shikana Kiari made a huge impression on Reina when she appeared out of nowhere and scared her to death. Reina has not seen the girl since, but she's unlikely to forgive being surprised, off balance, and humiliated anytime soon.
