History

Birth Rheia was born to a Keeper of the Moon Mother, Realin Nelhah, and Seeker of the Sun father, B'yokho Tia. The story goes that B'yokho Tia of the Boar tribe wished to be the Nuhn but despite all his efforts was never able to best their current breeding male. Instead of accepting his role of Tia the young Miqo'te left to start his own tribe, hoping at least a few huntresses would follow. However, all the huntresses were too loyal to the current Nuhn and crestfallen B'yokho left on his own. INstead of starting a new tribe he instead left the Sagoli and traveled the lands of Eorzea, visiting the various city states and country sides. That is until he came upon Raelin hunting in the forests of Gridania and found himself smitten. The two met and were thrust into a relationship. It was one of passion and fire, but like all fires it burned out quickly. Within only a few months the relationship came to its bitter end, with the two unable to quit bikering over everything. After only a year B'yokho found himself homesick and said goodbye to Raelin to return to his tribe, the female Miquo'te having no interest of following. Much to Raelin's dismay she found out soon after that she was pregnant and nine months later she gave birth to fraternal twins, Rheia and her brother. Keeping to Keeper tradition and ignoring their paternals she named the female Rheia Nelhah and the male Raelin'a Nelhah.

Childhood Rheia grew up mostly in the company of her twin, with their mother working round the clock for food and their father MIA. To keep her new family fed and sheltered Raelin had to resort to illegal poaching. As a result she was often gone, hunting for game and selling it on black markets. The young Rheia new next to nothing of her father and when asked her mother would keep quiet, often changing the subject. Luckily despite their parents absence the siblings at least had each other. The two made the twelveswoods their playground, learning to fight off monsters at a very young age out of necessity. Her brother was always the better fighter, but Rheia made up for it in magical skill. Even at a young age she found it easy to manipulate the aether around and inside her. Instead of other children the two would make friends with the beings of the forest, from anelopes and opo-opos to even sylphs. At first the beast tribe was wary of the two, but after some dancing and word games they quickly became recognized as friends. It is from them Rheia learned the art of glamouring to change ones appearance. The sylphs were masters at it, easily making themselves appear human and often taking the form of Rheia and her brother to tease them. Rheia picked up on it quickly though, starting with simply glamouring her hair and eyes various colors, to fully imitating the visage of her brother.
